After the ceremony, Jake stood outside the chapel, waiting for the building to empty. He’d thought about how he’d planned for this evening to go—pleasant, easy. A date with a lot of laughs and maybe a little heat, ending up back at the guesthouse, intertwined with Anna, drinking in the soft scent of her hair, feeling the heat of her skin, the curves of her body. But nothing serious, nothing intense. No more flashes of anger or protectiveness. She deserved to have a fun night out, a weekend vacation to remember, to put up on her shelf alongside all of her binders and reports, after their time together was through and she was back to being who she was, and he was back to being who he was.

So, just for a second, as an experiment, he tried to imagine spending the following month without Anna Richardson. Or even the following week.

He couldn’t do it.

Jake laughed out loud, shaking his head. From the moment Anna had stepped into the aisle as part of the long line of bridesmaids, he’d just stared at her, as if she might disappear at any moment. Her blue gown, so odd-looking crumpled up in the motorcycle saddlebag, had somehow transformed into the perfect packaging to showcase her long, curvy body and cascading curls.

He’d tracked her progress all the way up to the front of the chapel, unable to even notice the other bridesmaids, the bride, or any part of the ceremony. He’d stood up, sat down, and bowed his head at all the right moments. But his mind had been filled with nothing but Anna.

Waiting for her now just seemed right. He glanced up at the newest group of wedding guests. At least two of them were wearing identical sky-blue dresses. Jake’s pulse picked up. Then Anna crossed the threshold of the chapel and saw him. They immediately strode toward each other, and the sight of her face lighting up with pleasure made Jake feel like he’d just returned from saving the world.

“Hello, beautiful,” he said, grinning like an idiot as he pulled her into an embrace. He could tell by the awkwardness of her hug that she was startled, but that was just fine by him. He planned to keep Anna Richardson just a little off-balance, the whole evening through.

“Hey there, yourself,” she said, her smile wide and completely open. Her sunny blue eyes danced at him, set off brilliantly by her dress. “And don’t even talk to me about my appearance.” She glanced down at her dress, shaking her head. “I look like a junior miss late for her own pageant.”

“Well, as junior misses go, you were the one on everyone’s mind. Even your buddy Todd’s.” And it was true enough. Todd had watched Anna from his vantage point on the other side of the altar with the kind of hunger that Jake hoped he wasn’t displaying on his own face. He’d tried to keep the edge out of his voice when he mentioned the guy’s name, but clearly, he wasn’t successful.
