WALKING BACK DOWN the aisle with Ryley at the end of the ceremony, I caught Kyle’s gaze. He looked uncomfortable, surrounded by people who loathed him.

Ryley leaned toward my ear. “I don’t think anyone expected him to show up. What the hell’s going on?”

“If I told you, you’d probably shit a brick.”

We followed the others inside the house and he pulled me to the side. “The rumors aren’t true are they? Gabby told me but I thought she was kidding.”

“Well . . .” I began, biting my lip with a sheepish smile.

His mouth gaped open. “What the actual fuck. This is horseshit.”

I rolled my eyes and watched as the audience dispersed and started heading toward the covered tent where the reception was to be held. Kyle lingered alone and I knew I needed to get to him. Ryley followed my line of sight and sighed. “He may not be quite as psycho as your ex, but Kyle’s a goddamn manipulator.”

“And so are you, Ry,” I chuckled. “I seem to remember you and Camden coercing women to sleep with you both. If that’s not manipulation, I don’t know what is. And look at you now . . . you’re married with two, sweet little babies. You changed your ways and so can he.”

Pursing his lips, he leaned against the wall, defeated. “Fine, you win. I just hope you know what you’re doing.”

Smiling, I kissed him on the cheek. “I do. Trust me.” I left him and rushed outside, Kyle breathed a sigh of relief when he saw me approach. “You okay?” I asked, reaching for his hand. He took it and held it tight.

“Surprisingly, yes. Everyone’s staying as far away from me as possible. I think I have some idea how lepers must’ve felt.”

“Can you blame them? Imagine what they must be thinking.”

“That they want to kill me?” he joked.

“Probably, but I won’t let that happen. You’re my date tonight and I’m not into necrophilia. Now come on, the bridal party has to have pictures taken. I don’t think I can leave you alone to the wolves.”

“I’m sure I can manage,” he said.

“I know you can, but I want to be there when you face your demons.”

Pulling me close, he leaned down and kissed me, causing whispered responses all around. I didn’t care and I wasn’t ashamed. “I didn’t think you’d let me do that here,” he murmured.

I lifted up on my toes and kissed him again. “I have nothing to hide. Now let’s go before the bride brings her wrath down on us.” We hurried inside where everyone stood congregating. When Kyle and I came into the room, everyone went silent.

The photographer picked up on the tension and waved her hands in the air. “All right, let’s go back outside and finish these up.”

We lagged behind the group and joined them outside. I had to leave Kyle to finish the pictures, but he stood there watching with a smile on his face. After all was said and done, it was time to join the party.
