Gage grins as he kisses on Bo's cheek as she puts the piece of fries in his mouth as he selects the music as the bride and groom dance was next.
"Whose is that?" Richard asks his brother as they sit on their table.
"Who?" Ricardo asks as he wipes his mouth before staring at where his brother was looking at.
"Her" he points at Paige who dances with the kids on the floor while the songs keep playing.
"Paige, you know her" Ricardo states and Richard raises a brow.
"Paige as in Paige?" Richard asks as he stares at her for a while.
"She is great" Ricardo remarks with a grin before chuckling as Richard excuses himself.
"Please don't tell me, he has his eyes on her" Ryman grins and Gabby throws her napkin at the man.
"She is my cousin" she warns and Ryman grins.
"Oh, I am in for bonding" he teases while Ricardo watches his brother.
"Get off the floor, Paige" Gage shouts through the mike and Paige shows her tongue at him as she twirls little Tracie.
"Trace" Nicholson calls for his niece who pouts before running towards her uncle.
"Paige" he calls out for her and she sighs before she grabs her shoes and goes to walk but a hand shot to stop her.
Paige raises a brow as she is pulled into Richard's arm and she drops her shoes as they begin to dance and most of her family stares at the dance floor.
"When the fuck did, he grow a pair?" Rustic asks not believing his eyes.
"Who is he?" Nicole asks as she looks around the table.
*******
The song Shape of you plays as the pair starts to dance and Ricardo gets up at once from his seat not stunned that his brother would dance.
'I'm in love with the shape of you
We push and pull like a magnet do
Although my heart is falling too
I'm in love with your body
Say, boy, let's not talk too much
Grab on my waist and put that body on me
Come on now, follow my lead'
Richard twirls Paige around before dropping her down and picking up as he grabs her waist and picks her up as they dance around the room, Paige raises her leg wrapping t around the back of his thigh as they plaster their body together.
"Am I seeing correctly?" Gabby asks as she holds onto Ricardo's arm.
"If I thought your dance was fire this is volcanic" Rustic shakes his head.
Paige turns around mid-dance as she moves her hips and Richard grabs her waists moving along before turning her to face him as he drips down moving along the beat.
"It's like they are having missionary sex" Gage whispers to Bo who watches them with her mouth hanging open.
*******
The music comes to stop just as Richard grabs the back of Paige's head and pulls closer to his shoulder while Paige moves her hand and grabs his arm breathlessly.
"It's nice to finally meet you, smile" Richard speaks as he turns her around at once and wraps his arms around her waist making her turn her head to stare at him just as a flash goes off and Richard chuckles as he steps away from her.
"Say my hi to Lucas" he smiles as he bends to pick up her shoes and hands her before he pushes her towards where Nicholson was standing with his narrowed eyes and instead of going to his table where Ricardo was waiting, Richard walks out of the room.
"Who is he?" Paige asks as Nicholson wraps a coat around Paige and puts his arms around her.
"Richard, Ricardo's brother, stay away from him" Nicholson warns as he takes her towards the bar as both of them need a drink.
"Russo" Nicholson grits through his teeth as they walk past them, and Ricardo follows.
*******
"The bride shall now throw the flower" Gage announces without letting the bride and groom dance.
"What?" Gabby protests.
"The floor needs some much needed space and air after that" Gage announces, and Bo takes away the mike from him.
"It's okay, her feet are a bit swollen so" Throne nods as he puts Lily's foot down before helping her to stand up.
"Can you?" he asks, and she nods as she grabs her bouquet.
"Single girls gather up" Throne shouts as his wife makes her way towards the middle of the room.
"Flower" Tracie squeals as she claps her hands and goes towards Lily who laughs as the girl grabs Lily dress and pulls before she sits on it and plays with the ribbon around the dress.
"Come on princess, you maybe single but you are not going to catch one" Throne smiles picking up the girl as he kisses on her cheek and she grins toothily.
"Gabby" Bo calls for her friend and she shakes her head no.
"I am married" she grins showing her ring and Bo waves her hands before lining up to get the flower.
"Ready ladies?" Lily asks and all of them shout a yes as Lily turns around and swings the flower.
"One, two..." she shouts before she turns around and makes her way towards the group.
"What?" Bo laughs when Lily hands her the flower and Bo grins before someone touches her shoulder.
Bo gasps as she turns around to find Gage on his knees and her eyes widens as she covers her mouth n shock.
Gage does not say anything but just stares at her in silence with the ring in his hand and she shakes her head yes, making his pull the ring out and put in her finger. Bo cries as she hugs Gage, and everyone cheers for the couple.
*******
"Did you know?" Bo asks as she shows her rings to the family.
"Of course, when he barged in the room shuffle through his mother's jewelry box before picking out a ring asking if he can give it to you...
We knew he was doomed" Gabriel grins while Amelia kisses on her son's cheek.
"It's a perfect fit" Bo coos as she hugs him.
"Of course, remember when I sucked you finger when we were..."
"Okay, time to cut the cake" Damon shouts and Bo laughs as she kisses on Gage's lips.
"I love you"
"I know" he shrugs his shoulder.
"No smearing the cake" Throne warns everyone as the cake is brought on the table.
"There is no candle" Lily points as she turns to Throne.
"Some candles, bride wants candle on her cake" he shouts before some one brings few candles and Lily grins as she blows the candles.
"Did you make a wish?" Throne asks and she nods her head as he stands behind her and grabs the knife, cutting the cake together.
"Congrats" Gabby grins as she kisses Lily's cheeks taking the cake.
"Thank you" Lily smiles widely as she holds her sister hand before Gabby jumps in Throne's arms.
"Take good care of her" Gabby requests congratulating Throne who grins as he holds tightly in his arms before letting go of her.
*******
"Are you okay?" Ricardo asks as he joins Nicholson and Paige.
"Did you tell him?" she asks Ricardo who narrows his eyes at her.
"What?"
"About Lucas" she whispers before she eyes the proposal on going.
"We both are onto same thing, it's just that we are taking two different paths"
"And you cannot stop him?" Nicholson asks making Ricardo shake his head.
"I need a meeting with Lucero, Paige and soon" Ricardo reminds her.
"I don't know what you two are up to, but this does not look good" Nicholson states as he turns his back to the happening and sips on his drink.
"He just wants his sister back" Paige sighs as she too turns to face the bar.
"And you are helping how?" Nicholson asks as he stares at the drink in his hand.
"I am not sleeping with Lucas if that is what you think" she laughs making Nicholson stare at her.
"They know better than to get involve with the girls they cannot have"
"That makes the urge to claim them even more" Nicholson grumbles looking away.
"They are not like that" she smiles.
"All you have to know is Price, Russo or Lucero, all of them are men and that is what matters" Ricardo states.
"The bank is going to go into merger and acquisition after the next AGM, some of the shareholders will not be able to join so the voting is being collected on their behalf...
The Board of directors are going to be changed and they will be the one to choose the bank they want to merge with" she starts, and both the men stands alert.
"Are not the Lucero's the one who are the board members?" Ricardo questions.
"Yes" she nods.
"But they are not the only shareholders" Nicholson points out and she sighs.
"Most of the dealings that happens by them are all done through the bank to hide their tracks, ghost companies and ghost names"
"So, what's the trick?" Ricardo asks as he stares at the girl and Paige bites on her lips before she looks up and grins at Ricardo.
"The shares of the bank are going to go down for five minutes in a week the date has not been set, but that is when Lucero's plan to buy all the shares by a ghost name...
They do not want to change the BOD members" she informs and Nicholson sighs as he squeezes Paige's shoulder.
"You know better than any of us, stay safe" he suggests, and she holds his hand.
"I do not need anyone to look after me little brother"
"Leaking the information to us like this..."
"It does not matter how I look" she cuts him off as she pulls his coat off and hands him.
"Could not Gage wait to propose Bo any other day?" she asks with a sigh before putting her shoes and walking away.
"How much do you know about Lucas?" Nicholson asks Ricardo.
"Enough to know, that he is a man with few words and even fewer mistakes" Ricardo states.
*******
Ricardo wraps his arms around Gabby and picks her up as he walks towards the dance floor making his wife laugh at his playfulness.
"Stay with me tonight" he asks as he moves her around in his arms.
"Okay" she smiles as she puts her head on his chest.
"I have a busy week ahead" he informs making her sigh as she wraps her arms around him.
"Won't you see me?" she asks, and he smiles as he kisses on her forehead.
"I will but I may have to fly to few places, will you be okay staying with mom?" he asks, and she thinks on it.
"Do I have a choice?"
"I can leave you here if you want or you can stay with mom" he shrugs his shoulders letting me make the decision.
"Are we going back home tonight?" she asks, and he nods his head.
"I can stay at your mom's" she states, and he smiles as they dance for a while.
*******
Ricardo runs his hand around Gabby's back as they lie on the bed kissing each other, he lightly bites on her lower lip pulling it away before sucking on it as Gabby runs her hands from his neck to his chest.
Touching the zipper of the dress, Ricardo pulls it down as he touches her naked skin and Gabby jumps a bit, but his kisses distracts her. Rolling around he puts Gabby on the bed getting on top of her as his kisses turns urgent kissing her on her jaw before on her neck.
Gabby stretches her body with the sensation created inside of her by his touches, grabbing the back of his hair she pulls him up to kiss on his lips wanting to taste him again.
Ricardo unbuttons his shirt pushing it off his body without breaking their kiss, Gabby pushes her body up grabbing his face as he kneels on the bed while she too follows him. Her lips find his neck before dropping kisses all over his body, touching every inch of the skin her hands can get onto.
Ricardo wraps his arms around her waist pulling her closer to his body as his lips sorts her out in passion as his hands bunches her dress up trying and wanting to touch her body with his own, sharing their heat with each other.
Gabby pulls away from his kiss and both of them stop for a moment and in that moment, Ricardo feels like he has everything he ever wanted in his arms as Gabby touches his swollen lips with her finger before trailing and tracing his face with her finger as if remembering each shape and curve of his face.
Gabby caresses Ricardo's face with the back of her hand as the kneel on the bed and hold onto each other, she shifts and kisses on both of Ricardo's eyes which he closes and breaths.
Ricardo smiles as he opens his eyes and pushes few strands of her hair out of her face before taking a deep breath and clearing his throat as he loosens his hold around her.
"Do you want to watch some movies?" he asks making her nod her head.
Ricardo kisses on her forehead before he gets off the bed and Gabby smiles as she sits down before pulling her dress in place.
"Change" Ricardo states as he throws his shirt her way before he walks out of the room.
*******
"What did you get for Lily?" Gabby asks as she grabs Ricardo's finger and dips it on the ice-cream bowl before she licks it.
"It was from both of us" he replies pausing the movie, but she grabs the remote and plays it again.
"What was it?" she asks again as she turns to face him, and he smiles kissing on her forehead before pulling her leg on his waist.
"Boxes of condom" he states, and Gabby gets up and sits on the bed staring at him in shock.
"You did not" she gasps making him chuckle.
"Of course not, Throne will be banging my door if I did"
"Then?"
"Well, not that I doubt on your family's ability to protect but I have offered to assigned protection for Lily and her family for lifetime" he replies, and she looks at him unmoving.
"Are you mad?" he asks when she says nothing before Gabby jumps in his arms.
"Thank you" she sniffs burying her head on his shoulder as she cannot express her emotions on knowing that not just her family, but Ricardo will also look after Lily.
"She is my sister as well" he chuckles as he holds her to him.
"Lily, it's just that she..."
"I know" he whispers knowing how much she loves her sister and how protective she is of her sister.
"I love you" she smiles pulling away and he holds her chin as he drops a kiss on her lip.
"Always" he whispers.
