She saw all their family and friends there. Nina and Ellen. Santi, Sentinel Security’s bomb disposal expert. Austin from cybersecurity. The crew from reception. The faces all blurred together, and she was grateful they were all there.
Then she looked forward and the air clogged in her lungs.
Cain was waiting for her, Killian at his side. But all she could see was the man she was going to marry. The man she was going to claim as hers.
He wore a white shirt that was open at the throat, with a dark gray vest. His hair was up in a bun.
He looked hot.
She would never, ever get tired of looking at him.
His dark gaze was locked on her, and it never wavered.
Her mom stopped at the end of the aisle. “Go, my precious girl. The way he’s looking at you is giving me a hot flush.”
“I love you, Mom.” She kissed her mother’s cheek.
Then Cain was there, reaching for her. She put her hand in his.
“Hey,” she murmured.
“You look beautiful, Jet.” His eyes were filled with emotion. “Thanks for making me fall in love with you.”
“Don’t make me cry.” She clung to his hand. “Want to get married?”
“More than anything I’ve wanted in my entire life.”
“Then let’s do it, because I’m yours, Cain Cavanagh. Now and forever.”

“Shade is now a married man.”
Cain turned to see Vander Norcross holding out a glass of amber fluid.
“I hope that’s bourbon.” Cain took the glass.
“It is. Knob Creek. Heard it’s your favorite.”
Around them, the wedding reception was in full swing. Cain had eaten good food and danced with his new wife.
Wife.Shit. He couldn’t hold back a smile.
He and Vander clinked their glasses together.
“Congratulations,” Vander said.
“Thanks.” Cain saw the man watching his dark-haired wife, a police detective, talking with Jet, Hadley, and Devyn.
“Married life agrees with you,” Cain said.
Vander nodded. There was an intensity about the man. Cain recognized a warrior when he saw one. He knew Vander was dangerous, protected his friends and family, and helped keep the peace in San Francisco.
“I never thought I’d marry.” Vander frowned at his drink. “I always worried that it was too dangerous for me to love a woman.”
Cain sipped the very good bourbon. “I worried that I couldn’t give Jet what she needed.” He paused. “You got over your fear.”
“Not really, but Brynn is very stubborn. Even as I fell for her, I worried that if anyone hurt her…that I’d lose it.” A faint smile crossed Vander’s face. “Luckily, Brynn can look after herself. And it looks like you’re giving your Jet everything she needs.”
