When Friendship Turns To Love Part 21 rated adult As Catherine and Vincent thanked everyone for their kinds words and wishes of happiness, rejoicing that they are now husband and wife, Devin was approaching Brigit. Oh my goodnas, I am as nervous as a June bride. Never in all her life has a man affected her this way. Why she even had butterflies in her stomach. Extending his hand to Brigit, "how do you do lovely lady?" "Allow me to introduce myself." "I'm Devin Wells Vincent's older brother." "And you are?" Finally able to recover her voice and taking his hand, "I'm Brigit O'Donnell, a family friend." "I came to New York to s***, correcting herself, to see Catherine and Vincent wed." Devin loved her Irish accent. "I see." "I am sure they were glad to see you." "You are a writer correct?" Thinking to herself, no Devin I was the last person they wanted to see today. Mentally shaking the thought, she answered his question. "Yes I hav written a few stories." "Are ya familiar with ma work?" "Yes I am familiar with your work." "Vincent has read your books, and I would like to thank you." "Reading your books has helped my brother on quite a few occasions." "So Ms. O'Donnnel." "Call me Brigit please." " All right than Brigit it is." "How do you know about the tunnels?" "A little over a year ago on Halloween, I met Vincent at a Masquerade Ball honoring one of my books titled "300 Days." "Have you read it?" "No I am afraid my schedule over the past year did not allow me the pleasure." "I was planning on staying here for a while and I am sure I will have the time to read it." "As you staying in New York Brigit?" "Well I had only came to town for the wedding but maybe I will stay a while." "I see." "Would you do me the honor of being my partner for the next dance?" "I would love too Mr. Wells." "Devin please?" "Thank you for asking Devin and he helped her off with her coat." Devin eyes widen a moment seeing the voluptuous body that had previously been concealed beneath her heavy fur coat. Placing his hand on Brigit's waist he lead her to the dance floor. The instant Brigit felt his hand on her a warmness came over her. Feeling herself flush, she said to herself, my goodnas just the slightest touch from this man and my body's on fire. Catherine and Vincent were so lost in each other as they enjoyed the bridal dance, they did not notice what was going on between Brigit and Devin. However Father and Mary did. "Jacob would you look at that pointing to Devin and Brigit?" "Do you think they are interested in each other?" "I have to admit they look almost as striking a couple as Catherine and Vincent. "Yes they do look well together." "I do not know what is happening between them." I am just glad Devin was here to distract her." "When Brigit entered the grand hall during the wedding ceremony, I thought sure she was going to try and stop it." "Jacob I thought so as well." "So did Catherine and Vincent." "Well thank goodness she didn't." "But it seems her interest now lays with my other son." "This could prove very interesting." "Very interesting indeed." "Yes Jacob it could be." As the newlyweds waltzed across the dance floor they had eyes only for each other. "Oh Vincent, I am so happy." "Becoming your wife was the answer to all of my dreams." "I love you so much." Placing a soft kiss upon her full lips, "Catherine one this day you have made me the happiest man in the world." "I love you with all of my heart." When the music came to an end, Vincent placed his arm tenderly around her waist and led her to the bridal table. Only than did they notice Devin and Brigit sitting at one of the tables lost in conversation. "Vincent look I think Brigit found a new conquest. "Thank goodness." Had she tried to stop our wedding she would have seen a side of Catherine Chandler no one has ever seen." Vincent smiled a moment at his feisty wife. "I felt the extent of your emotions Catherine." "I would not have been happy to be on the receiving end of them had I been in Brigit's shoes." "It seems Devin caught her attention taking it from us." "Remind me to thank him later." Smiling her at husband, we will both thank him and they came together sealing their words with a kiss." When their kiss deepened, their desire ignited. When the clicking of a glass interrupted their kiss. They separated, eyes meeting with a promise of more to come. Father cleared his throat, �may I have your attention please?�� Hearing the elder patriarch speak the hall grew silent. �I would like to make a toast to the bride and groom.� �Catherine, Vincent may your love and happiness last a lifetime.� �Here here replied the crowd.� Vincent stood up than taking Catherine �s hand she should by his side. �Thank you everyone.� �Just over a year ago, I found this beautiful woman and we became best friends.� �We have a connection, a Bond to each other.� �Neither of us knew than that our special friendship and the Bond we share would turn into love. Knowing Catherine has opened my heart to a world filled with love hope and happiness and I thank her from the bottom of my heart.� �On this day as she became my wife all of my dreams have come true.� �I love her with all that I am.� Catherine looked at Vincent a moment her eyes filled with unshed tears before she spoke, �I would like to thank Vincent as well.� �When we met, my life was empty.� �His friendship helped fill some of the emptiness within me and I began to live again.� �Not only has this beautiful man given me more love, hope and happiness than I ever imagined, he gives me even more, he has gifted me with another child.� �For that I will be forever grateful.� �I love him with all my heart.� After Catherine and Vincent received congratulations from everyone for expecting again, they said �let the reception begin.� Once the attention was drawn from them and the crown continued the celebration, the newlyweds discreetly left the hall. Halfway to his chamber Vincent pulled her in his arms for a kiss so passionate Catherine went weak in the knees. As always her Vincent was there to hold her. Lifting her slight body in his arms, he carried her to their chamber and their wedding night began. Meanwhile in the grand hall Devin asked Brigit if she ever had a tour of the tunnels?� � She told him Vincent showed her the Chamber of Winds and the hot springs." �Well than Brigit would you allow me the pleasure of showing you the rest of our world?� NEXT |
