Strong (Book 2 in the No Control series)

Caroline hands me the duplicate of my bouquet to throw. I watch as my single friends gather in hopes of catching these beautiful flowers.
“Stand back ladies, she’s got quite an arm on her.” Liam shouts to them. I give him a wink as I toss the bouquet over my shoulder. I turn in time to see my friend Sara leap up to catch it. She runs over to give me a hug.
Liam takes my hand, leading me over to a chair. Rather than sitting, I put one foot up on the chair. Slowly I raise my dress, revealing my leg. Liam watching me intently. Biting his lip when he sees the white lace garter, covered in rhinestones, gracing my thigh. He leans in for a kiss as his hand gently skims my white lace panties under my dress before moving to the garter. Hooking his long finger under the garter he slowly, seductively moves it down my leg.
Liam shoots it over his shoulder towards all the waiting single men. I watch as it literally falls directly into Harry’s hands. He smiles and gives me a wink.

I’m standing near the dance floor when I feel familiar strong arms around my waist and
that deep, sexy voice in my ear. That same sexy voice that I’ll hear everyday for the rest of my life.
“Hey gorgeous, I know you just got married today but I’m having trouble staying away from you.”
I turn in his embrace to face him. “Well you are quite handsome, and very sexy but I’m afraid I’m really in love with my husband. I just can’t imagine ever being with another man.”
“Wow, he’s a lucky man. Maybe I’ll have to fight him for you?”
I smirk. “Sorry, he could kick your ass,”
Liam laughs. “I love you, Liz!”
“I love you more, Liam!”
“How about one last dance? Then I want you all to myself, Beautiful.”
“Sounds perfect.”

That one dance turns into two. First we dance to Not A Bad Thing. After, Liam tells me to hang on for a moment. As he walks back to me the dj begins to play Michael Buble’s The Way You Look Tonight. Liam pulls me close. We spend the rest of the song swaying to the music, staring into each other's eyes as Liam sings the words to me. My breath catches as I realize this amazing man has chosen me, to be his, forever.
