Chapter 6

“I don’t think I’ve ever seen a more lovely couple,” Fin said, settling into the back of the EPH corporate limo for the ride back to the city. She sighed happily. “Jessie was absolutely stunning.”

“She looked just like you,” Travis said, reaching over to take her hand in his.

“A much younger version, maybe,” she said, laughing.

His smile heated her all the way to her toes. “I don’t think I had the chance to tell you how sexy you look in that slinky green dress.” He lightly touched the teal silk of her Versace gown with his index finger. “You and Jessie were the two most beautiful women at the wedding.”

“Well, you clean up pretty good yourself, cowboy.” She placed her hand on the arm of his black tuxedo. “You look incredibly handsome in formal attire, Travis.”

He grunted. “I feel like a trained monkey in a side show.”

“I think you’re a very handsome monkey,” she said, laughing.

“Well, take a good look because I won’t be wearing this thing again,” he said, putting his arm around her shoulders. “I’ll take it home and hang it in the closet, never to see the light of day again.”

“Never say never.”

“I think this is one time it’s a sure bet to say never.” His arm tightening around her to draw her close and his low chuckle caused every cell in her body to tingle to life. “A jackass will sprout wings and fly before you see me in this thing again.”

As they left the lights of The Tides behind and the intimacy of the night closed in around them, Travis reached over and pushed the button to raise the privacy panel between them and the driver. “How are you doing?” he asked. “I know today was an emotional roller coaster for you and you have to be drained.”

“I probably should be, but surprisingly I’m feeling pretty good.” Slipping off her high heels in an effort to get comfortable for the two-hour drive, she added, “Now that my pregnancy is no longer a secret, I’m more relaxed than ever.”

When he gathered her close, a wave of goose bumps shimmered over her arms at the feel of his warm breath stirring the fine hairs at her temple. “I told you your dad wouldn’t say anything.”

“There wasn’t a lot he could say after Jessie made her little speech.” Touched beyond words at the enthusiasm and support her daughter had shown for her pregnancy, Fin smiled. “She’s going to be a wonderful big sister.”

“She’ll have the poor little thing spoiled rotten.”

“And you won’t?”

He chuckled beneath her ear and tightened his arms around her. “I didn’t say I wouldn’t.”

They rode along in a comfortable silence for several minutes before Travis spoke again. “Have you come to any conclusions about how we can handle your pregnancy and the distance between us?”

“With all of the last-minute details for the wedding, I haven’t had time.” She shook her head. “What about you? Have you come up with anything?”

“No, but we’re going to have to figure out something.
