Chapter 99

Harvey Prescott

Contd

“You have mine already.” Alex says, rough with emotion.

Marie clears her throat. “So… how big is the wedding going to be?”

She smiles at me and I find myself chuckling.

“As big as you want it.”

“Oh, congratulations my baby!” Marie gets up and comes over to kiss Jennifer on the face, then right after she kisses me on the cheek.

Jeremy rolls his eyes from the other side of the table. “Wow. Not what I expected from someone who was so pissed this morning.”

“Oh, shut up.” Marie waves him off. “I just wanted to test Harvey.”

“Oh.” Jennifer smiles.

“Every mother in my book club is talking about my daughter who has been the hit for the seasons….the creator behind Delcaire, and now the new Mrs. Prescott? They’re going to be gagged when they hear about this wedding.”

She sits back down but she’s on a roll now.

“We need a live orchestra. None of that DJ nonsense. Strings, Harvey. Think classical with a modern twist. And the flowers…. oh, Jennifer, we need to sit down with a planner immediately. Roses are too basic. We’re thinking orchids, maybe peonies, definitely something that says ‘old money new power.’ And the dress!”

Tinka jumps in immediately. “Jen and I have been sketching wedding dresses since we were fifteen. This is literally my Super Bowl.”

“Music by that violinist…what’s his name? The one who played at the Met Gala?” Marie continues. “And we need a cake that’s actually art. Five tiers minimum. And the venue… Harvey, does this estate have a ballroom? If it does we’ll do it here. Intimate but massive. Two hundred people, max. Wait, three hundred. Actually, let’s talk numbers-”

“Whatever you want.” I say and they all laugh.

“Careful, she’ll plan a thousand-person wedding by dinner.” Jeremy mutters.

Nate and David join.

Meanwhile Elio come in from his latest errands of bringing Jen’s and I belongings to the Prescott estate. David spots Marie immediately and goes straight for her hand.

“Mrs. Marie, I’ve heard so much about you.” He kisses her fingers dramatically. “You are even more beautiful than Jennifer described.”

Jeremy uses his chest to bump him back. “She’s my mom and she’s married, bro. Watch out

“Married but does she love her husband.” David grins.

“David!” Jennifer laughs.

“I’m just appreciating beauty.” David holds up his hands in surrender.

“Appreciate from over there.” Jeremy points.

Elio pours more coffee for us as everyone begins to talk.

In the middle of it all, Jennifer leans into me and whispers.

“Let’s talk.”

We walk into my office. Jennifer walks ahead of me and my eyes drop to her hips automatically.

I’ve seen her a thousand times but right now, in this moment, with everything that’s happened, she looks like someth never seen before.

I’m about to reach for her, about to squeeze that perfect curve and pull her into me, when she turns around and faces me.

“What a smooth talker you were back there, Harvey Prescott.” She puts her hand on my chest and I chuckle down at her.

“What are you wearing that for?”

Who am I to pretend I don’t want to grab her? I hold her hips and lift her ass up, moaning for a moment at the feel of her.

Jennifer blushes deep red. “We are in your office.”

“Yeah and you should mark your territory.” I joke.

“How was your first meeting?” She teases, pushing gently against my chest and slipping away toward the large desk. She runs her fingers along the wood, looking at the massive executive chair like she’s imagining me in it.

“I prefer casino meetings but it wasn’t too bad.”

“And when are we gonna talk about what happened last night?” Jennifer says, her arm on her waist as she dramatically questions me. Now she’s serious.

I lick my lip once and come close to sit half on the desk.

‘I’m gonna meet the Don and tell him to bring it to an end. I’ll offer him recompense for it.”

‘It was a lot of buildings, Harvey.”

‘Well, I have the money.”

‘We shouldn’t do an extravagant wedding if you’re gonna be covering those costs. Plus, you bought Oceansprings-

‘Hey hey.” I cut her off. “You are Mrs. Prescott now and there’s money allocated to you. So it’s not my money, it’s our money. The Prescott accounts, the shares I signed over this morning, the joint holdings….half of everything is yours. That’s how marriage works. That’s how I want it to work.”

Jennifer looks at me in disbelief. “W-what?”

I pull her away from the chair and carry her to sit on the table.

“Now you’re seducing me before 1 decline all of these things?”

“Of course.” I smile. “I have thirty minutes before your next meeting. Let’s make it count.”

“Harvey, are you on heat or something?”

“It’s the husband heat.” I kiss her mouth and her hand rests on my waist.
