Mr. and Mrs. Morgan
Chapter 150: Ladies and Gentlemen: Mr. and Mrs. Morgan
ELLIE
The little Sophia’s red hair–just like her mother’s–shone under the
sunset light, as did Annabel’s golden locks, as they both walked
toward us, bringing smiles to every face around.
In front, Sophia tossed red petals into the air, and behind her, slightly
taller, Annabel carried a small basket with the rings.
Now that I finally got to meet her, I understood why Ethan always
said she looked like an angel. She was only five years old and so
adorable that I wanted to squeeze her the moment I saw her.
Ethan was smitten with his niece, but unfortunately, his younger
sister lived on the other side of the country, making it a bit difficult
for him to see her often.
So, I was more than happy that they could come to our wedding in
another country.

When she finished her walk toward us, Sophia ran to her mother, who
stood to my right, along with the other bridesmaids. Annabel did the
same, running to her mother after handing the rings to Ethan.
I think that was the only moment I managed to take my eyes off him
since I saw him, utterly irresistible in his black suit. I could barely pay
attention to the officiant’s words.
I was lost in his brown gaze, intense and full of promises. It was as if
only the two of us existed and nothing else around mattered.
I only realized it was time for the vows when he turned to me, pulling
me out of the trance.

Holding my slightly trembling hands, overwhelmed with emotion, he
took a deep breath.
“I wanted to say so many things…” he began, looking into my eyes.
“We’ve been through so much, and I’ve made so many promises too…
many I couldn’t keep…” It hurt me a bit to see that he still blamed
himself for that. “But after everything, I think what matters is that
you’re still here. And for that, I feel so grateful. Because you never
gave up on me. From the beginning… even when I didn’t deserve it.
And then, in so many other moments… you never gave up. For that
very reason, I think I’ll never deserve you… but I promise I’ll spend
the rest of my life trying to.” Swallowing the lump that formed in my
throat, I felt the tears overflow. “You saved me, Ellie Brown…” he

said, his eyes glistening. “And even if I can never repay you for that, I
want you to know that I love you with my life… and for that, I
promise to dedicate every day of the rest of it to you.”
Taking a deep breath, speechless, I raised my hand to wipe the
tear that escaped down his cheek.
I hadn’t written any vows, but I knew exactly what to say. What had
always been in my heart.
“You say I saved you, but… I just chose to love you. And it happened
in a way I simply couldn’t escape. And believe me, I tried…” I said, making us smile through the tears. “I fell in love with you exactly for
who you are. So, you don’t need to repay anything because you’ve
always been enough for me. Always have and always will. Only
you… because you’re so much more than I ever dreamed of, Ethan
Morgan. And I’ve loved you, secretly, since the day I laid eyes on you
in that room.”
He leaned in suddenly.
“And I wanted to bring you to your knees,” he whispered in my ear,
making me laugh.
Bastard.

“You two, behave,” Zoe murmured beside us.
“Ethan and Ellie… it was beautiful to hear these promises,” the
officiant said, resuming her speech. “Now, before all who witness this
moment, I ask: do you accept each other as husband and wife?”
“Yes,” I replied, without hesitation, eager.
“Yes,” he repeated, holding my gaze. “Finally,” he murmured.
“Then, you may exchange the rings as a symbol of the promise you’ve
just made,” she said.
Taking the red box he retrieved from the basket in his pocket, Ethan
opened it, taking out the rings. Then, he took my hand after handing
me one of them.
“With this ring… I declare you mine, now and forever, Mrs. Morgan,”
he declared, in a provocative yet passionate way that brought my
tears back.
I blinked, taking his hand with my slightly trembling one.
“With this ring, I declare you mine…” I repeated, holding his gaze as I
placed the ring. “Now and forever, Mr. Morgan.”

“Then, I now pronounce you husband and wife. Now… seal this love
with a kiss,” the officiant finally said.
“You didn’t even have to say it,” Ethan whispered, with a smile, his
hands wrapping around my waist, pulling me to him.
His lips pressed firmly against mine, and his grip around
me tightened, so I could feel his desire and how much he was trying
to contain it, probably because of the audience watching us.
That made me wish we were alone because I didn’t want him to hold
back anymore.
“Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. and Mrs. Morgan!” the officiant
announced, forcing us to part our lips, as applause, whistles, and
cheers erupted around us.
A second later, my husband was pulled away from me by his euphoric,
almost wild friends.
I only managed to see Will lifting him off the ground before being surrounded by my equally euphoric bridesmaids.
Then, we were practically dragged to the dinner area, where the
tables were arranged on the grass, forming a circle designated for
dancing.

“Are you okay?” I asked, slightly concerned when he returned to me.
“I was going to ask you the same.”
“Yes,” I smiled. “So, now what?”
“Let’s get this over with so we can get rid of all these people,” he
murmured.
“Don’t say that!” I whispered, trying not to laugh. “They’re our
friends and family.”
“I know… and I love them… but right now, I just want this to end
quickly so I can rip that dress off you,” he teased, his arms wrapping
around me.
“Unfortunately, I think that’s going to take a while. We still have the
dances, speeches, toasts, photos, dinner…”
“Damn…” he growled. “What does a man have to do to be alone with
his wife?”
“Be patient.”
“Come,” he took my hand, leading me to the center of the circle on
the grass.

“That’s not being patient,” I said, laughing.
“Two weeks. That’s all I’m going to say.” His hands rested on my
waist.
“Alright. So, ready for our first dance?” I asked, with a smile.
“What song did you choose?”
“You’ll see soon.”
“I hope you liked the one I chose for you earlier.”
“It was perfect. Thank you,” I said, wrapping my arms
around his neck.
“You are perfect,” he murmured, his gaze moving over my face
with fascination, as if absorbing every detail. “Can I kiss you for real
now?”
“Yes, please,” I murmured, almost melting in his arms.
Then, his lips took mine, soft but at the same time, firm and
dominating, just like his touch, pressing me against his body.
His tongue entangled with mine, seductively provoking, guiding the

movements in a hot way, making me lose my mind and crave more.
“Hey, we’re still here!” Zoe’s voice sounded from somewhere, making
him pull his lips away against my will.
“She’s still the same,” I grumbled, almost breathless, a smile
forming on my lips.
“Yes, and maybe we should thank her because maybe we wouldn’t be
here if she hadn’t set us up in that room.‘
دو
“That was so wrong. And I’m sure that even without her help, nothing
would have stopped you from tormenting me.”
“Yes. I would have found a way to sneak into your bed. And we both
know you wouldn’t have resisted,” he teased, his brown eyes shining
with mischief.
“Yeah, I think I’ve always had a thing for bastards… And here I am,
married to one,” I teased back.
“You should be more careful with your words. I still haven’t decided what I’m going to do with you,” he warned.
“What do you mean ‘what you’re going to do with me‘?”

“Your punishment for driving me crazy for two weeks.”
“Punishment? You want to punish me when it was you who
misbehaved?”
“I know you weren’t angry, and your intention was just to drive me
crazy. Well, you succeeded. So, what should I do with you?” he asked,
staring at me intensely and pulling me closer against his body.
“Maybe fuck you with my tongue until you beg me to stop…” he
whispered, awakening my entire body. “Or maybe tie your hands and
pin you to the bed to fuck you from behind… Or…”
The music started playing suddenly, interrupting him.
I blinked, taking a deep breath, grateful for the interruption, as I was
about to beg him to take me upstairs to do all that with me.
“I think that’s our cue,” I said, looking around and realizing that all
