Present Day

The breath left my lungs as I watched her walk down to the aisle to me. She was beautiful.

Absolutely fucking stunning.

The idea that this woman would be mine for the rest of my life sent my heart racing.

As she came closer, I rubbed the palms of my hand on my pants. Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed the smirk lift the corner of Jackson’s lips. Bastard. Somehow I’d make him pay for that later. Christine came within a few feet of me and I walked down the steps to take her hands in mine.

I lifted her hand to my lips. “You look gorgeous.”

I watched the blush pinken her cheeks and couldn’t be anything but insanely proud of the woman standing before me.

“So do you.”

A throat cleared behind me, I glanced over my shoulder and Reverend Watkins, who stood there waiting.

“Ready?” he asked.

“We are.”

I moved down next to Christine, while her father stood on the other side.

“Who gives this woman away?”

Mr. Davis smiled and bent down to press a kiss to her cheek then whispered in her ear.

Christine’s eyes shimmered under the light as she nodded at whatever he might be saying.

“Love you both,” she whispered back when he lifted his head.

Mr. Davis turned to face me. “I expect you to take care of her.”

I used my free hand to cover my heart. “With my life,” I swore to her dad.

“Good.”

Mr. Davis smiled at both of us, before letting go of her hand and moving back to his seat.

I turned back to Christine. “Ready?”

“More than you’ll ever know.”

I held my arm out for her and waited as she laid her hand on my bicep. “Let’s do this.”

“I led her up the stairs to where Reverend Watkins, her friend Gina, and Jackson were waiting for us.

Christine held her bouquet out to Gina.

“Welcome everyone. We are here to celebrate the wedding of Christine Davis and Aiden Cormack.” Reverend Watkins clasped his hands together. “Honestly, when Aiden left for college, then decided to pursue his music career on the East Coast, I always wondered if he’d stay and get married in a church or court house there. Imagine my surprise when I received the phone call that he wanted to return to Westlake and get married here.” He lifted his hands slightly and gestured around the room.

I smiled and winked. “How could I let anyone else marry me? You already know all of my sins.”

Reverend Watkins chuckled. “Don’t I ever.” His gaze moved to Jackson for a moment before coming back to me. “Between the two of you, I wondered how you’ve stayed out of trouble this long.”

I couldn’t help but chuckle along and glance at Christine. “We had help.”

Reverend Watkins’s gaze moved over my shoulder, no doubt seeking out Megan somewhere behind me. I heard her giggle. Jackson dropped his head, but I could see the unmistakable shake of his shoulders. “But, I can honestly say it is my honor to marry Christine and Aiden. Maybe Jackson will someday walk through the doors and give me the same honor.
