Bonus Scene

Sydney and Coen

“It’s about time everyone left,” Coen said as he shut the door behind him.

“Well, you’re the one who wanted to be cheap and have the honeymoon here.”

“Hey, we aren’t leaving the bedroom anyway. What’s the point of going anywhere?”

“Good point.”

He held her
close to him. “I can’t wait to make love to my wife.”

She ran her hands up his chest then started to unbutton his shirt. He stared at her with a hungry expres
sion, letting her open his shirt and glide her fingers down his chest.

He kneeled down and picked her up then carried her into the bedroom.

When they walked inside, the room was dimly lit with candles, and white rose petals were scattered across the bed. Coen laid her down on the bed then leaned over her.

“You look so beautiful that I don’t want to take this off.”

She reached up and pulled his shirt off, leaving his chest bare. She sat up and kissed his chest, sucking each nipple gently.

“Okay. I changed my mind,” he said as he reached for the zipper.

She chuckled as she unbuttoned his slacks. “I missed him.”

“Baby, he missed you
, too. I thought my cock was going to fall off this week because he was so horny.”

She pulled down his pants
, then removed his boxers. She placed him in her mouth and licked the tip.

He pulled the zipper
all the way down then pulled down the gown. She leaned back so he could pull it off and drop it to the floor. Coen kissed her everywhere, running his tongue across her body. He kissed the inside of each thigh then pulled down her underwear. He flinched when he looked down.

It was a small blue seahorse that was placed above her left hip. It could only b
e seen when she was naked. Its tail was slightly coiled, and its scales were a midnight blue, like the color of his eyes. He ran his hands over it, wanting to feel it. He couldn’t believe it was really there. The sight turned him on more than anything ever had. He ran his tongue across the surface, tasting it.

“Babe, when did you do this?”

“A few days ago. Do you like it?”

He kissed it again. “It’s the hottest thing I’ve ever seen.”

“I’m yours, Coen. You’re my seahorse, too.” She reached up and touched his forearm, feeling the skin that was branded with the green seahorse, the same color that matched her eyes.

“I never thought my heart would love something this much.” His eyes started
to tear as he looked at her.

“Neither did
I.”

“I’m so glad I failed that exam so you could be my annoying tutor.”

“Annoying?”

“Don’t act like you weren’t,” he said with a smile. He grabbed her and pulled her
farther up the bed. “I really like this tattoo. I want you to be naked all the time so I can see it.”
              “I can do that.”

He crawled on top of her then separated her legs. “I’ll try to last as long as I can.”

“You won’t need to,” she said as she pulled him toward her.

He grabbed his cock and placed it at her entrance. The tip pushed in slightly
, but he didn’t make the final plunge. “Baby, thank you for marrying me.”

“You don’t need to thank me.”

“You’ve made me happier than I ever thought I could be. I’m honored that you’ve chosen to spend your life with me.”

“I was meant for you, Coen. You’re my other half.”

He slid inside her, feeling the flood of moisture. He gasped as he felt her.

She opened her legs wider and rocked into him. It felt so good that she bit her lip.

He leaned in and kissed her, parting her lips with his tongue. She breathed into his mouth and moaned, loving the feel of him sliding deep inside her. Every time they made love, it felt like the first time. It always felt so good, she could scream.

“Yours is the light, baby,” he said as he pressed his face closer to hers.

She felt herself snap, and she lost control, coming as she yelled his name.

Coen fisted her
hair as he felt his own trigger, coming deep inside her.

“You’re right. That didn’t last long.”

“You’re the one who didn’t want to have sex or masturbate for a week.”

“I’m not complaining. It felt really good.”

“At least I have a lot of pent-up sexual frustration to blow this weekend.”

“Good.
Because I want to make love to my husband as many times as I can.”

“Your wish is my command, Seahorse.”

Her eyes softened when she looked at him. “I’m so happy I get to spend the rest of my life with you.”

“Well, we are mates for life. That’s what seahorses do.”
