Chapter Ten

The awe-inspiring view from the Inn at Spanish Bay’s First Fairway Patio was second only to the amazing vistas Melissa had glimpsed on the drive from Monterey to Pebble Beach. The 17-Mile Drive was as spectacular as Paige claimed, and inasmuch as she hated to give Shauna credit for anything, Melissa had to admit her cousin had selected the perfect location for her wedding. The tiled patio overlooked the links, the rolling grassy dunes and finally, the majestic Pacific Ocean. And if that wasn’t enough, the unpredictable coastal weather had decided to cooperate. The morning fog had burned off and left in its wake a gloriously beautiful and surprisingly warm afternoon.

“Did I tell you how incredible you look?” Jake asked as he took her hand and twined his fingers with hers.

Melissa quickly forgot nature’s magnificent splendor when she turned her head and saw the seductive gleam in Jake’s eyes. Her body tingled in a way that was decidedly not appropriate in a public place and countless memories from last night and this morning began to play in her head.

As hot as the sex had been, what she valued most were the several hours they had spent alone together before getting ready for the wedding. Over breakfast from room service, there had been no awkwardness at all. And after breakfast they’d cuddled on the bed, making out intermittently as they watched an old movie on television. She wasn’t sure if it was because they’d developed a solid friendship beforehand, but being with Jake felt so easy it was almost scary.

“Yes.” She smiled into his eyes. “Thank you,” she said, and paused to give him a thorough once-over. In his dark charcoal suit, blue French cuff dress shirt and understated silk tie, he was easily the most handsome man at the wedding. “You clean up nice.”

“I try.” One corner of his mouth kicked up in amusement. “But I prefer polo shirts and jeans to suits.”

She shifted closer to him and whispered, “I’m partial to you in nothing at all.”

“That can be arranged later on.” His husky tone caused slow heat to unfurl low in her belly. “If you’re interested.”

“Oh, I’m interested.” Drowning in the depths of his eyes, she was oblivious to everything around her until she felt a light tap on her shoulder. Startled, she turned to her right and standing in the aisle next to her chair was Rob.

“May I sit with you?” Rob asked, politely.

“Of course,” she said with a smile and shifted her knees to the side so Rob could pass in front of her. As he took the chair on the other side of Jake, Melissa took note of the strained expression on his face. “Is everything okay?” she asked, leaning forward.

“Everything’s fine.” Rob said, then looked toward the altar.

Melissa frowned and sat back. She’d long suspected Rob had stronger feelings for Paige than she had for him, and that sooner or later he was going to want more than the friends-with-benefits relationship her sister preferred. He wouldn’t get it.
