Chapter 6

Griff hated suits. Not that he had too much experience in one beyond his dress blues. The one the clerk at the rental place had pushed on him felt overly fancy. Then again, the only one he’d ever owned had come from a mail-order catalog, so he didn’t exactly have a well-informed perspective on the matter.

But the moment Sam caught sight of him, he took back every negative thought about it. Her mouth dropped open, and her eyes went dark. She mimed fanning herself as he approached.

“Damn.” Her gaze took him in from head to toe. “Just damn.”

“You’re looking pretty bombshell yourself.”

Her long, glossy brown hair had been done up in some intricate half-up, half-down style that showed off shiny chandelier earrings. The makeup made her eyes deep, liquid pools he wanted to fall into. And the dress… Well he’d heard women complain about the hideousness of bridesmaid dresses and thought maybe Chloe deserved a medal of honor and a huge thank you. He didn’t know what any of the details were called other than the color—champagne, she’d told him last night—but she looked gorgeous. He pulled her to him for a light kiss he hoped wouldn’t ruin her lipstick.

She relaxed at the contact, and only then did he realize she’d been holding herself stiff as a board. Had she been worried about where they stood after last night? Maybe so.

He hadn’t taken her to bed. At least not the way she’d been hoping. Despite clear signals she was up for more, he’d kept things PG, citing the fact that she needed to be up early for wedding festivities. But he had relented enough to get rid of the Great Wall of Pillows so they could fall asleep wrapped up together. Well, she’d slept. He’d lain awake thinking long after her breathing had slowed.

Wanting to soothe and needing to touch her, Griff skimmed a hand down her spine. “You’re beautiful.”

“So are you.” She smoothed his lapels. “Very GQ. You might even outshine the groom. Don’t tell Cody I said that.”

This woman made him smile so easily. “My lips are sealed.”

Someone began to clap. “Okay people, everyone is here. Let’s take our places, please.”

“That’s my cue. See you on the other side.” Sam rose to her toes and kissed him again. Her eyes searched his face for a moment before she squeezed his arm and disappeared through a door with the wedding planner.

Griff went to find a seat. The little chapel was half-full of guests who’d apparently come in for the wedding itself. He slid into a chair about halfway up the bride’s side. Not a moment too soon. Music spilled out of hidden speakers and the bridesmaids processed in, dance-party style. Because of course they did. Sam was second out of the gate. Her face fairly glowed with joy as she be-bopped down the aisle.

Damn, she’d make a beautiful bride.

The idea struck Griff hard enough to steal his breath. He’d never given much consideration to marriage. It was a Someday sort of concept, with a nameless, faceless woman.
