After sliding the ring on her finger, Landon stood. “I know you will. I was going to wait and give it to you tomorrow on Christmas Day, but I couldn’t wait. Besides, we’ll spend tomorrow morning in the air, flying to North Carolina.”
She wrapped her arms around his neck. They would arrive at his parents’ place in time for Christmas dinner and then spend the night. Then the day after Christmas, they would fly to Atlanta to attend the Bennetts’ Christmas Family Reunion. Everyone would be so surprised when they found out she was now an engaged woman.
“You have made everything so special this year for me, Landon.”
“And you have made things special for me as well.” He leaned in and took her lips with a hunger that she knew was just the beginning.
The next thing she knew, he had tossed her on the huge bed, immediately flipping her to her back. “I’ve decided I’m hungry after all.” And then he proceeded to make her his meal.
CHAPTER FORTY-SEVEN
THE BENNETTS’ CHRISTMAS FAMILY REUNION
DATE : DECEMBER 26 - DECEMBER 28
WHERE: ATLANTA, GEORGIA AND MACON, GEORGIA
Family REUNION AGENDA IS ATTACHED
CHAPTER FORTY-EIGHT
THE FOUR WOMEN STOOD together, looking over the crowd. It seemed more Bennetts were in attendance at this family reunion than there had been in years past. Definitely since their great-grandfather Ethan’s death.
Alexia Bennett Masters, Rae’jean Bennett Garrison, Octavia “Taye” Bennett-Bennett and Brandy Bennett Masters took in the gathering with huge smiles on their faces, knowing somewhere in heaven, Ethan and Idella Bennett were smiling as well.
So much had happened over the past fifteen years. The family had grown by leaps and bounds. And Alexia, Rae’jean and Taye now included Brandy as part of the ‘Bennett Pack’ whereas, when they’d been teens, they would not have. But they could now laugh about those days and appreciate how close they were now. All of them were successful in their own right, and all were happily married to wonderful men.
“I just can’t believe that Sebrina and Monica got engaged to men you hadn’t even met until today,” Alexia said to Taye, grinning. “Those girls definitely know how to do things in a big way.”
Taye couldn’t help but grin back. “I know, right. You should have seen the shock on my face when both my daughters arrived yesterday for Christmas dinner wearing engagement rings and introducing us to the men they plan to marry. Parker and Landon are absolute sweethearts, and I already love them both. They have made my girls happy.”
“Of course, I’ve known Parker for years, and I’m glad he’s becoming part of the family,” Rae’jean said happily. “Funny how that worked out, isn’t it? I thought Grady was meant to join our family, but in the end, he didn’t. Now, sixteen years later, his nephew will. I talked to Grady and Lynn yesterday and they’re deliriously happy for them. And I’m also looking forward to getting to know Landon. He’s a cutie.”
“Like Haddison, he’s a bit older. But I think he’s just what Monica needs,” Taye said.
All the ladies agreed. Another thing they all agreed about was that they’d never seen Monica and Sebrina happier than they were now. Both were wearing beautiful engagement rings on their fingers and had handsome men by their sides. If anyone had a problem with Sebrina and Parker’s upcoming mixed marriage, they knew to keep their opinions to themselves.
“Any plans yet for the weddings?” Brandy asked.
“Not yet, but I understand it won’t be a double wedding, like Kennedy and Victoria had.”
“But we enjoyed planning it so much,” Alexia said.
“And now we’ll have two of them to plan,” Taye replied.
“Umm, who do you think will go first?” Rae’jean asked.
“I’m not sure,” Taye said.
“Well, I’m putting my money on Monica,” Brandy said.
The other three women looked at her.
“Why? Alexia asked.
“Well, Landon is older and already more established. And just look at him. He can’t take his eyes off her.”
“Still, it’s no different than the way Parker is looking at Sebrina,” Raejean added.
“Yes, but remember, Parker and Sebrina are living in the same house,” Brandy explained. “Monica and Landon live hundreds of miles apart. Somehow, I can see Landon putting an end to that rather quickly.”
Alexia nodded. “You might have a point.”
At that moment Alexia’s husband- Quinn, walked up to join them; followed by Rae’jean’s husband- Ryan, Taye’s husband- Michael and Brandy’s husband- Grey.
“So, what’s up, ladies?” Quinn asked.
Alexia smiled up at him. “We’re planning weddings. Two of them.”
“Umm, another wedding with the four notorious Bennett cousins’ names in the production? I can’t wait,” Michael said.
“This calls for a toast,” Ryan said, grabbing a bottle of champagne. When glasses were filled and toasts made, Quinn said, “That will end the weddings for a while. There aren’t any more marriageable people in the family.”
“Oh, yes there are,” Alexia said.
“Who?” Grey asked. “All our kids are a long way from being old enough to get married.”
“Those two aren’t,” Rae’jean said, nodding at the two handsome single men making their way around the room. They were Quinn’s cousins, the Masters—Colton and Cobra. Their brother Cortez had married Victoria six months ago.
“Umm, what you think, Quinn?” Michael asked.
“I think they are their own men—masters of the game, no pun intended. Neither of them will settle down until they are good and ready. And that probably won’t be for a very long time.”
Taye laughed. “We shall see.”
