Something Forever(62)

Due to Max and I having a small wedding, I had asked Becky not to invite a bunch of our friends. I only wanted a few good friends to join me tonight. Now, it was cake and present time.

“I’ll write down who brought what,” Nicole said. “Kate will take the pictures and Becky will help you.”

“Thank you,” I said, since all of the attention was now on me. “First of all. I want to thank all of you for coming out tonight. A few of my cousins flew all the way from New York. A few of my college friends came from Texas. And I’m so happy my mom was able to join us for the bridal shower.” I turned to my mom with a smile. “And I would like to thank Ellen, my soon to be my mother-in-law, for all her help and for suggesting this wonderful restaurant.”

Becky stood up and handed me my first present. I unwrapped it and gave Becky the wrapper, which she shoved it into the trash bag.

It was a crystal vase from Tiffany’s. “Thank you, Tanya,” I said to my cousin. Kate took our picture and Becky gave me the next one.

“Thank you, Mom.” Mom brought me some kitchen utensils that Max and I had registered for with Bloomingdales. That wasn’t all. My eyes started tearing when I saw an engraved bracelet from Tiffany’s. It read:



Max and Jenna

Forever



“Oh, Mom,” I gushed and hugged her. “This is beautiful.”

“Now you have something new.” Mom started getting teary-eyed, too. “I can’t believe my little girl is all grown up and getting married.”

“I can’t believe it, either,” I said softly.

Mom gave me big smile and sat back down in her seat after Becky took our picture.

“This is from your mother-in-law,” Becky said, handing me a huge box.

When I took it from her, it was so light I wondered what was inside it. After I unwrapped it, I opened the lid and pulled out an envelope.

“Max already knows about it,” Ellen started to say. “Robert and I are paying all expenses for your honeymoon. Inside is the information for the hotel that is paid for. That’s not all. Max doesn’t know this yet, but I’ve transferred money to your joint account to help pay for your future house. Max told me that you were both thinking of moving to a house close to us.”

“Yes.” I nodded. I thought my bottom jaw dropped...I was in shock for sure. I knew Mr. and Mrs. Knight were generous people, but this was way too much. “I don’t know what to say, Ellen.”

I stood up when Ellen approached me. “No need to thank me, Jenna. Max is a lucky man.” She leaned into my ear with a hug. “I can’t wait for my grandchild to be born. There is something else inside the box.” Ellen sat back down next to my mom.

I reached in and took out another box like she said there would be, and I blushed big time when I opened it.

My guests started to laugh when I pulled it out. It was black, skimpy, lacy lingerie.

“I just wanted to make sure you had one. After all, I want you to seduce my son more often and make him a happy man. And also, I want more grandchildren.”

“Okay,” I laughed, feeling my cheeks burn. The idea of my mom knowing I was going to wear one made me die of embarrassment.

“Don’t be so embarrassed, Jenna. Embrace your youth and your sexy body,” Ellen continued. “I have the same one except mine is in red.”

Everybody laughed and whistled. I probably looked like I was on fire after that comment, but that was nothing compared to what Becky, Kate, and Nicole had in store for me. Inside of their gift box was a vibrator, a rubber dick, a lubricant, a whip, handcuffs, and a sex game. I had never seen one before. I had to hold the items up one by one to show everyone. Oh my God! I wanted to hide...no, I wanted to faint.



I was supposed to take the day off and get pampered with Becky at the spa of my choice; it had been Max’s order. However, Matthew asked me to come in for a couple of hours, so the spa would have to wait until after lunch. Matthew texted me and informed me he was in the meeting room and asked me to go there.

“Surprise!” I heard when I opened the door.

It took me some time to process as I glanced around to see so many smiling faces, but my heart skipped a beat when I saw my fiancé leaning against the table with his hand behind him to support his weight. He looked so delicious and edible that my mind ran with naughty thoughts...even in a room crowded with my co-workers. His sexy grin was enough to melt me to the floor. When he winked at me, it took every once of my will power to keep from straddling him on that table and taking him, especially since we were trying to stay away from each other.

“Jenna, congrats.” Lisa—from my old department—wrapped her arms around me, breaking me away from my thoughts.
