Mine & Ours (15 page)

A week later, well, on the twenty-ninth, Sydney dressed in her knee high length white dress, and carrying a bouquet of her favorite purple
Lady X
roses, walked down the main steps of her home toward the rose garden. John waited for her at the beginning of the red-carpeted main aisle of her roses. Several stark white chairs were spread on each side of the aisle, accented by her roses, and were filled with friends and colleagues.

John led her down the aisle to the white gazebo covered with lavender-colored roses, to where Paxton was standing, with Tim by his side. Paxton took her hand and the two faced Judge Lewis, wearing his black justice robe. “Dear the beloved, we are gathered here today as not just a renewal of a marriage, but the start to a whole new marriage and commitment from both Sydney and Paxton to each other. The connection started at childhood by sharing a simple, but strange snack. Now, years later, their love has grown. Their love has changed. Their love has improved. Now, more than ever these two are completely dedicated to each other. We bring together a man and woman, who love each other unconditionally.”

“Paxton Ryan Carlton III, do you take Judge Sydney Eleanor Jennings Carlton to be your lawfully wedded wife?”

“I do.”

“Judge Sydney Eleanor Jennings Carlton do you take Paxton Ryan Carlton III to be your lawfully wedded husband?

“I do,” she said.

“May we have the rings?” Sydney handed John her bouquet and took the ring from his hand. Paxton took the ring from Tim’s hand. “Very good. Now, your vows. Paxton?”

“I, Paxton, take you, Sydney, to be my beloved wife, to have and to hold you, to honor you, to treasure you, to be at your side in sorrow and in joy, in the good times, and in the bad, and to love you always. I promise to love you unconditionally, to support you in your goals, to honor and respect you, to laugh with you and cry with you, and to cherish you for as long as we both shall live. I promise you this from my heart, for all the days of my life. This is our new beginning. I will love you forever and always, and no matter if I end up in Heaven or Hell, I will always love you.”

“Slip the ring on her finger, Paxton.”

Paxton slid the ring on her finger and then kissed it softly. “I love you,” he whispered.

“Now, Sydney, your vows.”

“I, Sydney, take you, Paxton, to be my beloved husband to have and to hold you, to honor you, to treasure you, to be at your side in sorrow and in joy, in the good times, and in the bad, and to love you always. I promise to love you unconditionally, to support you in your goals, to honor and respect you, to laugh with you and cry with you, and to cherish you for as long as we both shall live. I promise you this from my heart, for all the days of my life. This is our new beginning. I will love you forever and always. I will love you after death, and beyond. And, I’ll always share my snack with you.” She smiled.

“Now, slip the ring on his finger.”

She slid the ring on his finger and kissed it softly. “I love you, PJ,” she whispered.

“Now that Sydney and Paxton have recited their vows to each other and recommitted themselves to each other, by the power vested in me, by the State of New York, I, Justice Derek Lewis, do now pronounce that they are husband and wife. You may kiss your bride.”

Sydney held his face and kissed his mouth softly, as the audience clapped. She took his arm and they walked back down the aisle, with Tim and John following.

The reception was held in the never-used ballroom of the large house, and Sydney and Paxton sat at the bridal table as their guests mingled, danced, and ate. Paxton smiled. “You sure you don’t want to go away for a honeymoon?”

“Maybe next weekend we can go for a long drive up North, but I have everything I need right here.”

“You sure?” he said.

“Yes,” she kissed him. “You and me. You’re mine, always and forever.”

“And what about them?” he pointed to John and Tim, who were dancing practically cheek to cheek on the dance floor.

“They’re still ours,” she kissed him. “And later?”

“Yes?” he raised his eyebrow.

“I’m gonna bite you all over,” she smiled.

“Promise?”

“I promise, after you rub my feet.”

“Deal,” he took her hand. “Dance with me again, my love.”

“I’d be honored,” she followed him to the dance floor and held him tightly. They danced, and danced, and even when the rest of the guests lingered out the door, they continued to dance. Sydney looked around and only John and Tim were remaining. “Where’d everyone go?”

“Club Valkyrie,” John smiled. “Congratulations, boss.”

“That’s Lady to you,” she smiled.

“You want to play on your wedding day?” Tim asked.

“Only if you agree,” Paxton said.

“Are you going to be a Dom or a sub?” John looked at Paxton and then at Sydney.

“He’s mine, you’re ours,” she smiled.

The three men instantly kneeled, but Paxton kneeled and kissed her feet. “As you wish,” Paxton said.

“As you wish
what
?” she smiled.

“Wife, Mistress, Lady, my love, all of the above,” he looked up at her. “All of the above.”
