CHAPTER SIX

Carter stood at the front of the small church, impatient for Daisy to walk down the aisle. Although the guest list was small, he’d insisted on observing as many traditions as possible. He wanted Daisy to feel married, not like a woman who was being paid to go to bed with him.

Rand and Phoebe were there, making eyes at each other and smiling like idiots. Colton was his best man. That had been Rand’s idea. Carter thought it was a good one. His mother sat in the front of the church, pretending none of the others were there. She’d deigned to speak with Daisy’s parents earlier, but only to cover the most basic social niceties.

Appearances again.

He really didn’t care. As long as she maintained a courteous demeanor with his wife and her family, his mother could continue to live in her frozen world of social pretense. But he’d made it clear to her that if she did anything to make Daisy unhappy, Carter would cut her right out of his life. He didn’t think she’d miss him, but it would hurt her pride to have a public rift between them.

He had no doubt she’d play nice.

The organ music started, swelling to fill the small church.

Daisy’s sister came down the aisle first, smiling to beat the band. She was very happy for her older sibling and had told Carter as much.

He forgot all about Bella and her approval because Daisy was there. Framed in the entryway, she looked so sexy, his cock stood up and saluted. Her dress did an incredible job of outlining her curves, while appearing old fashioned with its antique lace and full skirt. The neckline put enticing cleavage on display that would have made him drool if his mouth wasn’t so dry. Her make love to me while I’m wearing them spiked heels made her calves look long and enticing.

Oh, man, he was going to embarrass himself in front of the minister and their guests. He tried reciting stock prices in his head as she walked down the aisle toward him, but lost focus for anything but her when her pretty brown eyes met his.

She looked nervous and a little scared.

He didn’t want her scared. Or nervous. Regardless of the reasons for it, this marriage was going to be good.

The passion was going to be fantastic.

He caught her pretty brown eyes with his own and put his hand out to draw her to him. Someone made a choking sound that sounded like a stifled laugh, but he ignored it.

Daisy didn’t seem to notice either. Ignoring the minister and his earlier advice for her to stop and face him when she reached the front of the church, she walked right up to Carter and put her hand in his.

It was so small, reminding him that it was his job to protect her. It was also cold.

He squeezed it. “It’s going to be all right.”

She smiled and laced her fingers with his, holding on tight. “I know.”

Her voice only shook a little.
