CHAPTER NINE

Sam was at loose ends and had too much time to think. That was never a good thing.

In a couple hours his brother was getting married, or re-vowing, as he and Rose were calling it. Sam had badly wanted to needle Linc about whether or not a second wedding meant more than one divorce if things went south. Two things stopped him. Linc wasn’t the least bit nervous about the ceremony. In fact he couldn’t wait. And he’d been in love with Rose for ten years. They were lucky and Sam envied them. But he was still bored.

Everyone in the wedding party had been ordered to show up at Holden House several hours before the ceremony, dressed and ready to rock and roll. April Kennedy, the town photographer, was taking pictures and had finished with the men. It was the ladies’ turn and they could be tied up right until the ceremony. Linc was with his two dads and that was too weird for Sam. So he was wandering around by himself, checking out the brand-new hotel.

That was when he spotted Faith wheeling a flat cart of flower-filled vases and supplies into the Mountain View Room, where the vows were going to take place. Talking to her was never boring, so he pushed open the door where she’d just disappeared. She was setting flower arrangements on either side of the hearth in front of a river rock fireplace with a cherrywood mantel. It was decorated with garlands of greens and flowers across the top that draped down the side to the floor. Rows of chairs were set up facing it.

“Hi,” he said, walking closer.

Faith gasped and whirled around, then pressed a hand to her chest when she recognized him. “My God, Sam. You startled me.”

“Sorry. I thought you heard me.” Although he was impressed by her focus on the job. He couldn’t help wondering if her concentration extended to other, more personal activities.

Such as kissing. And sex.

Those two endeavors had been high on his try-not-to-think-about list since the night over a week ago when she’d thanked him for listening to Phoebe. The sweet torture of her breasts against his chest had made his hands ache to feel her soft, bare skin. And all of her feminine curves nestled close to him had made it damn near impossible to remember he was trying not to cross that line with her.

“What are you doing here?” Faith asked.

“I thought the tuxedo was a big clue, but that could just be me.”

“If that’s an attempt to reinforce your ego, I’ll play along. You look very handsome.” When she glanced up, there was a glimmer of appreciation before it vanished. Then she was back to concentrating as she knelt by a chair and fastened a three-dimensional white bow, a rose and baby’s breath to it.

“Thank you.”

“I know there’s a wedding,” she said wryly. “My point is, don’t you have somewhere to be? Something to do before it starts?”

“No.” He slid his hands into the tailored black Armani trousers that matched the jacket.
