and pleasure in some way. And he was certain one of them would resurrect his injured manhood.

Leaning down, he inhaled the floral beauty of a rare orchid. No woman could ask for a more beautiful wedding day. Not that his bride would

appreciate the trouble he’d gone to, but that was all right. He was getting what he’d wanted since the moment he met her. Soon McKenna Sloan

would become McKenna Hughes, and all would be as it should have been eight years before.

It was true that the McKenna from years ago had changed. The young and innocent girl from Nebraska had morphed into a spitfire. Damon found

himself looking forward to the challenge of taming her. He might have eventually tired of the docile, lifeless McKenna she’d been before. This new,

strong-willed McKenna fired his blood and made him pulse with a passion he had never felt before. She would be like a wild filly; he could barely

wait for the breaking-in to take place.

Hearing a sound, he turned and lost his breath. The bride was a vision in white. The most beautiful bride ever, and she was his. The designer

wedding dress had cost a small fortune, but Damon hadn’t minded. A girl only had a special day like this once in a lifetime.

Fortunately, the dress, though sleeveless, was high-necked and hid the bruises from their little spat last night. And the bruises on her right cheek

had been successfully covered. Their wedding photographs would only show a beautiful woman on her wedding day. Years later, when McKenna

looked at their wedding album, she would be grateful he’d been so considerate.

Gratitude wasn’t what he saw in her eyes at the moment, but that didn’t matter, either. She couldn’t yet speak, so that smart mouth she’d

developed over the years wouldn’t get her into trouble.

Her eyes glinted with hatred and her expression was one of revulsion. He had considered trying to figure out a way to freeze her face into a smile

and had even gotten one of his pharmacist friends out of bed this morning to discuss the possibility. The man had advised against it; the risk of

possible side effects, such as permanent nerve damage, was a bit too great.

Didn’t matter. Damon knew his own smile was big enough for both of them. As she drew closer, he held out his arms in welcome. “Darling, you

look beautiful.”

Being his stubborn McKenna, she stopped walking, which meant he had to either lower his arms or walk with them outstretched. His smile went

brighter as he lowered his arms. Once he reached her, he pulled her close and whispered, “Darling, the anticipation of our honeymoon almost

overwhelms me. You will know such agony that your screams will be heard for miles. The sedative on your vocal cords will be gone by then, which

means I’m going to relish every single cry of pain.”

When she tried to jerk away from him, he said softly, “The minister is waiting for us. He was told you have laryngitis, so all that will be required of

you is a simple nod of your head at the appropriate time.
