Chapter 10

“Not a dry eye in the house!”

Myles flinched as yet another camera flash went off in his periphery. “Zach, do you really have to keep doing that?”

“According to your grandmother, yes. And she’s scarier than you.”

“Of course she is,” he muttered.

Piper chuckled. “You turned our wedding into a musical. This means there must be documentation and that it will be talked about for years to come.”

He scowled. “I didn’t do it for them. I did it for you.”

She lifted her hands to frame his cheeks, pulling him close. “And I love that you did. You took the circus and made it about us. About me. I didn’t really think that was possible. So thank you.”

“You were getting little enough out of this whole deal.”

Her expression as she smiled up at him made Myles’ heart squeeze. “I got you out of it. That’s all I wanted.” Rising to her toes, she closed the last of the distance, pressing a soft kiss to his lips.

He heard the click of the camera again and lifted his head. “Zach, I swear to God... If you don’t let me kiss my wife in peace, I’m going to kick your ass.”

“But this stuff is gold. I’ll have a seriously hard time picking the right shot for the front page of tomorrow’s edition.”

“If there is one word about this wedding in tomorrow’s edition, heads are going to roll,” Myles snarled.

“But people love love! This will boost circulation.”

“I’m not exploiting my personal life in the name of the paper. Now go away before I lose my good mood.”

Zach wisely lowered the camera. “Fine, fine. I’ll go find someone else to bug. But you can’t control what ends up on Facebook and Instagram.”

Eyes narrowed, Myles watched his friend weave his way through the crowded ballroom. “Remind me why we’re still here?”

“Because we promised to play nice and we haven’t discharged our duties as bride and groom.”

“We danced. We ate dinner. We had cake. We even did the damned receiving line. What more do they want from us?”

“To hang out a respectable length of time before the bouquet toss.”

“Define ‘respectable.’”

“Long enough that they don’t think we’ve snuck away from our own reception to have a quickie in the coat room.”

And just like that, all the blood he’d been conscientiously trying to keep in his skull drained south. Myles pulled her closer to hide that reaction from the rest of the guests. “First, a quickie is a physical impossibility with you in that dress. I may require an engineering degree to get you out of it. Second, I am not going to make love to my wife for the first time in a coat closet. Third, I have every intention of taking my sweet time about it, which I’m eager to get started on, so really, how important is the stinking bouquet?”

Her eyes dilated and her breath quickened, which did marvelous things for the decolletage pressed against his chest. “I’m thinking we’ve been respectable enough.”

“Well then, Mrs. Stewart, let’s figure out our exit strategy.
