  Dedication

  As I blow an air kiss, a heartfelt thank you is expressed to every one that is contained in my Love Bucket in life. You know who you are as you will have touched my life in some way or made even a slight kind remark as you passed me by on a gloomy day.

  My Love Bucket is full with my amazing husband of many memorable years, my wonderful family, my closest friends and many, many acquaintances that I have felt a tug inside with my heart.

  I have been a very fortunate person to have received all this Love, all these years. I believe that life itself is a gift and I love life and every twist and turn that comes my way. I am so appreciative of everyone in my life.

  Finally, I want to personally express the joy that at this time in my life I have been reconnected with some love ones, which is another story in itself. I don’t think my heart can take much more as it is so content, full and ready to explode. I now understand how Madison truly feels about Rand it’s hard to find the perfect words but the feeling is so intense, wonderful, and endearing.

  Prologue – Write about Love

  I’m writing at my fabulous desk in front of THE WALL in the barn rehearsal studio on the upper level. I have many wedding clippings from magazines attached to THE WALL for inspiration. I am attempting to create heartfelt wedding vows. I see below me, yes my man, my all too handsome Rand playing some cords on his guitar composing a new wedding song. He peers up to me and I wink and blow him a kiss. He pauses and reaches his hand high in the air and catches it and places his hand to his chest. I melt as always.

  I start to write and find all I can get on the paper is doodles and more doodles. I draw a wedding bouquet and start to color in the flowers on it. I tie off the flowers with a lovely black lace ribbon trailing down the page. Even as a writer, what I feel for him, I sometimes cannot find the words. Rand slowly starts to sing the song he is practicing and I begin to cry, warm tears trail down my cheeks. The sound from the rehearsal stage below carried up to me is beautiful. I wonder how I am so lucky to have this guy in my life.

  Chapter One – Lovely June Wedding

  So much thought goes into the planning of a wedding day, it seems that there is so much detail and stress. I have to wonder-all that work for what? It takes a lot to be successful in achieving that one full day of memories. But this wedding day had to be perfect, absolutely flawless. I decided to handle all the arrangements and stay on top of every one of the tasks from the flowers to the food. I left the music selections to Rand. I believe I would be in good hands with him taking that on. We had chosen the lovely grounds of the barn and Rand’s property in Bucks County. For an exquisite summer day wedding, as the setting was divine with all the lush green grass and beautiful landscaping. The photos to be taken there would come out fabulous. There is a huge white draped tent in between the barn area to the house which was simply a “just-in–case” item as the weather was forecasting a mild summer day of seventy eight degrees with a clear blue sky. I took a second look back toward the tent and a memory flashed in my mind of when Rand and I spent an afternoon surrounded by long white drapes in a cabana poolside in South Beach. My lips pressed together with a very pleased smile.

  I couldn’t help myself so I gathered all my wedding notes and lists that were stacked high on my clipboard along with my pen and went out about the acreage with them clutched in my hands to do a final cross off of all the items completed. I was in warm up pants and a Rolling Isaac’s tank top and flip flops. I had barely any makeup on my face, but on this special day I still had a glow about me. I approached all the hired staff and briefly chatted with them to make certain everything was on time and going fine. I stopped to help myself to a large fresh cup of coffee and a banana muffin that the caterer set up for the staff. I knew I had to eat something because my stomach was in knots. I’d never planned a wedding before. My wedding with Thomas was a lovely, grand affair but I had no part in the planning. From the minute the date was set for today’s event, I began the planning. Throughout this, I’ve spent a lot of time reflecting on the day that Rand proposed to me. Since that day I have continued in writing him so many unrevealed love notes. I keep them hidden away to one day maybe share with him. It’s funny that I still continue to sign my love notes that I write as Maddy, even though Rand always calls me Madison or Love. I used to leave my father heartfelt writings in his lunch box. As far back as I can remember he always called me Maddy. I feel my words that I am writing for Rand are just as endearing as those I left for my father to find. So of course, I wrote Rand another love note that day he committed himself to me with his body ink and I secretly stored it in my notebook.

  Rand:

  As our bodies joined as one, I felt more in that one moment than I have ever felt with anyone. I never wanted to leave your arms, your body, and our connection. I believe that you complete me, you were made for me. I struggled to keep my feelings at bay and not let you know but I am too emotionally involved with you and to know now that you are with me is beyond belief.

  Where we head from here together has unlimited paths. I know I will always have this need now to have you fulfill me as I know you can. I see you and just a glance across the room to you makes me want to have us running to the bedroom. Silently I ponder how to relay to you just how much Love I contain for you. Some days I feel like my heart is about to burst.

  New Years Eve was my resolution to you in my life. It is the one declaration that I will not fall back on. I promise to make you feel the love that you so deserve.

  Happy New Year my Love, yes, and my fiancé I believe now. I did hear a proposal come from your delicious lips. I did reply with a definite “YES!” I look forward to this New Year with you and our many celebrations together as getting engaged, having sex, planning a wedding, having sex, moving in together and having sex, and thinking about as many places and ways to continue to have sex. Sorry I got a little carried away.

  Maddy xo

  Blinking in the sunlight’s glare, I’m back in the moment of today and continue checking on items-a woman on a mission. I smiled at everyone this
morning as I walked around doing my silent inspection. To my surprise everything seemed to be in order. I caught sight of my fine-looking fiancé in the barn parking lot and decided to go plant a tender, warm kiss upon his delicious, deserving lips.

  “Good morning love,” I announced as I grazed up behind him and reached under his tee shirt and allowed my hands to grace the fit and trim skin on his stomach. Rand turned and took me into his arms and placed a quick kiss to the tip of my nose leading down to a lick across my lips and then a slight quick tug of my breast and then he was pulling me along with him into the barn entrance. In my ear in a sultry tone Rand whispers, “I’m hungry, for a taste of you, and I have to keep my appetite satisfied because today is going to be a long day.”

  “Are we alone?” I asked in between breaths and kisses to my fiancé. Rand nodded yes as he leaned me up against the wall and moved his body close to mine closing in any gap of distance that may have existed. He glanced back to make certain the barn door had shut firmly behind us. Rand pulled away momentarily to give me confirmation of what I already had known, “God, I love you Madison, so much…so very much. I want you every day, every single day, every way.”

  A damp tear hit the corner of my eye and I was glad to have only a touch of makeup on, “I love you so much more,” I replied. I pulled up on my feet to reach his waiting lips and take him in and not only by the mouth, but by his waist to have him near me. We moved from kissing to him dropping to his knees and slowly dropping my warm up pants with one pull on the string. I come apart in seconds and bite my lower lip so that I could contain my scream. A moan of pleasure shakes through my throat. I am breathless and spent as I come and hear his soft groans of satisfaction below. I don’t know how I am going to make it to or through the ceremony.

  As Rand slowly rises up next to me licking his lips with the biggest grin, I reach below to feel to the zipper holding him tightly restrained. Slowly, I release him from his jeans. Fleeting thoughts passed my mind, to be in a compromising situation like this with so many workers surrounding the property that at any moment any of them could walk in on us…it actually made the moment more intimate and exciting and we couldn’t take our hands off one another. It didn’t take too long until we were one with our bodies and I felt a rush of emotion race through me as yet another tear slid down my cheek. Rand noticed and looked intently into my eyes and licked the droplet away. I was filled with Rand soulfully and completely. I felt the pulsation of us beating in my core together.

  As we usually are interrupted in our heated moments, this was special as it seemed a long time we were there with one another and no one calling for us. This day was a new beginning, affirmation of love, and a relationship that should have happened a long time ago. I pulled back from Rand, my gorgeous fiancé, and smiled with pleasure that over flowed in my chest. I pulled up my lace panties that had a small gem heart appliqué on them and pulled and retied my warm up pants again just in time for the barn door to open wide with the Rolling Isaac’s band members entering with their jovial personalities.

  “Hey you two, are you ready for today?” Ron asked.

  “We already got our festivities started” Rand answered with a wink.

  Isaac came over and hugged me and kissed my head and then slapped Rand on the back. Kent and Raeford were still outdoors so as we exited like two young lovers, hand in hand, we gave a wave and I blew them a kiss as we headed back to the house.

  I had never seen so much action at this property since I met Rand, except possibly on his New Years Eve Party, but that was indoors. Here today, the outside looked like there was going to be a politician speaking as the chairs were all lined up in a procession and everyone had an important element of their job to accomplish.

  Downstairs in the house all the hired staff for this day had it together and upstairs as the wedding gown was hanging on display in the master bedroom waiting to be stepped into. There were people here to assist in dressing us for the ceremony and to fix our hair and makeup. As Rand and I meandered down the long hallway on the second floor of the house to take a shower, he tugged at my fingers and slid me quietly into one of his many guest bedrooms. He pulled the door shut slowly until he heard it catch and click. Here we go again this morning, round two. This time he latched the lock and then picked me up and laid me onto the guest bed. He shoved away the pillows and then he lowered himself over top of me and I felt the strands of his dark hair sweep over my skin sending a tingle throughout my body. We both had to remain completely quiet for we knew there were others just feet down the hall. I had to turn my head into the one remaining pillow beside me to muffle my excitement as my fiancé took control of kissing my entire body from a lick trailing down my neck then to a rest stop on my breasts and then to hearing him repeat, “You are so lovely Madison, you finally are truly mine.” I knew my being with Rand going forward would be the best gift my lifetime had brought to me. After taking our time with one another and making certain we were both, for the moment, sexually satisfied we curled up into one another’s arms. It was then that I looked at the clock on the wall, I jumped up. I knew I had to get moving to the shower and to getting beautiful for this wedding to begin.

  “I’ll see you soon,” Rand spoke with a smile and a shine in his eyes. I think there may have been tears forming. But I will always remember that glisten to his blue look, the shimmer that shown as I observed him and know I was the one that brought it to his eyes. He is all mine.

  I entered the master bedroom once I pulled myself together and headed to the shower only to be stopped to hug and kiss my mother Grace waiting there half dressed and looking beautiful and then Jillian was there finishing her makeup and said to me, “Madison you need to get started, get in there and get cleaned up now.” I hugged my sister friend as I walked to the master bath. Jillian for a quick moment came to me and hugged me and then let out a laugh in my hair, she knew I had just been in bed with my fiancé. “I think you had a fun morning, you smell of sex,” she smirked at me with a wink.

  Since Jillian is always telling me about her trysts with Raeford, I couldn’t resist and I said to her, “Oh Jillian we had sex, and more sex, we can’t keep our hands off one another.” I couldn’t keep a straight face, I started laughing.

  “Seriously Madison you better get moving or there won’t be a wedding today.”

  “I’m going, but God it was good, we hit the barn wall and the room next door!” I added still amused.

  “I thought I heard moans and groans just a minute ago, so please stop telling me this, or I will be jumping Raeford before they start to play the music for us to come down the aisle.”

  After my soothing shower and I washed away the worries that something would not go smoothly today, I stepped out and went into the den of hired women to beautify me. Before I left the room I glanced over with a large smile to view my long simple crème gown with a cascading black lace sash and knew how handsome Rand would look in his black tux and crème shirt. I couldn’t wait to take that off of him later after the ceremony. Actually the Band agreed to all get dressed in tuxes today, which was a huge surprise to me. I asked them to dress for the occasion but I was thrilled they actually agreed. These guys could look fantastic in a garbage bag. Honestly this entire band was the hottest guys I had ever seen in one area together.

  I was staring at my finished self in the mirror and liked what was looking back at me. Here I was confident and all made up, extra makeup and my hair styled, I appeared so put together and pretty, yes today I felt and embodied pretty. I, Jillian and my mother had a group hug. The photographer did not miss this photo opportunity. It was a mirror image of three happy women. This year had brought to us my new relationship with Rand, Jillian and Raeford progressing with their dating and my mother reentering my life with her love, my Uncle Jake. There was a light tap on the door and Jillian slightly opened it to see Jake there stunningly handsome in his tux all buttoned up nicely and Rand behind him with a contemporary take to his tuxedo keeping the shirt opene
d at the top with no tie or vest. I saw just the edge of him with his hair freshly washed and still drying that rested on his shirt collar. I caught only a glimpse of his eyes and the blue color soothed my nerves and made me calm.

  Jillian shouted, “Get out of here, you can’t see the bride before the ceremony! And no sex till after you are married,” she shut the door quickly. I wonder who came up with all these to do’s for what you can do and not do on a wedding day. I mean really you see this person for so long and suddenly the moment you are committing yourself to them permanently you are forbidden.

  “We were just checking on you girls, the minister is here and ready to begin,” Jake hollered through the solid wood door. We waited and then heard silence so we knew they left from outside the door. We peeked out the window and watched their backsides as they walked to the decorated arbor location and what a fine vision it was. Even my mother was smiling and taking in the rear view of my Uncle Jake. I reached for my mother’s hand and took it into my two palms cuffed over hers and said, “Let’s do this, it’s here, today is actually happening. Mom I love you, I am so glad to be here with you on this day.”

  “Madison this is a dream come true.”

  “I am so happy mom, really I am.”

  “I share that happiness with you and hope too for many more years.”

  “Oh please girls, let’s get this party started!” Jillian exclaimed.

  The music that played for our small simple paced procession to the arbor was delivered in tunes from Rolling Isaac’s. I wore a big smile as I saw each of them dressed in their formal wear. Then it was the sneakers on Kent that made me chuckle hard. Raeford was wearing black sleek boots, and along with the sunglasses on Ron’s head I saw the bright red tee shirt under his tux jacket instead of the crisp crème shirt that was given to them all. Somehow even though they expressed their individuality of formal dressing with changes, I knew this day was still going to be sheer perfection.
