“You certainly surprised me. This is perfect.” My fingers leave his arm, tracing over his shoulder and to his jawline. “You’re perfect.” Giving him a watery smile, I shake my head. “I’m not even sure the vows I wrote can compare to this.”
He chuckles. “I’m certain they will. The main thing I want to hear is you saying, ‘I do.’ That’s all I need to hear to make me happy.” His thumbs wipe the tears from my cheeks. “Then you’ll be mine forever.”
Shaking my head, I sniff. “Will, I’ve been yours since the moment our eyes locked together the day of that horrible car accident.” A sob escapes me, although I try like hell to hold it back. “I’ve always been yours. And I’ll always be yours.”
He pulls me against him, wrapping his arms around me, and holding me tight. “I’ve always been yours, too, my love,” he whispers against me. “And that will never change. I belong to you.”
A contented sigh spills from me.
Whenever I’m in his arms, I’mhome.
I slowly pull back, my heart lurching at the sight of his handsome face that I’ll be looking at for the rest of my life. “You’ve given me so much already, but this tattoo… I can’t find the words to express what this means to me.”
He shakes his head. “You don’t have to. It’s in your eyes.” His hand slides to my throat. “It’s in the thrumming of your pulse.” Then his hand slides lower, over my silky white robe, covering my chest. “And it’s right here, in every beat of your heart.”
“I love you for a fucking eternity, Will.”
He smiles widely. “I love you to the moon and back. To infinity and beyond.”
As we kiss, I feel perfectly safe and content. Not worried about anything or anyone that may come along, trying to jeopardize our happiness or worse, try to pull us apart.
We’ll overcome any obstacle that attempts to come between us.
We always have.
And we always will.
Gripping my dad’s arm as Savannah walks down the aisle, her scarlet dress highlighting her natural beauty, I exhale a breath.
“Are you nervous, pumpkin?” My dad squeezes me against him, pulling me from my thoughts.
“I thought I would be. But I’m more excited than anything.”
“I’m glad. You have nothing to be nervous about. You’re marrying one helluva man. And I’m so excited I’ll be meeting my grandbabies in the summer. I can’t wait to spoil them rotten.”
With a light groan, I shake my head, my eyes sparkling when I look up at him. “They’ll be spoiled nightmares from all the love and attention they’ll get.”
He pats my arm. “Nothing better. I’m always happy to babysit or help in any way I can.”
My heart swells with happiness. “You can count on it. Will and I are excited to have such loving fathers in our lives.”
The music changes and my dad and I stare at one another.
“Are you ready?”
“Absolutely.”
As we drift forward, my eyes lock with Will’s brilliant blue eyes, tears prickling my lids. His gaze travels over me slowly, drinking me in, and I watch him struggle to contain his emotions.
Goddamn, I’m so lucky to be loved so much.
All the guests are standing, and I smile at them without really seeing them. The décor is gorgeous, a blinding array of Christmas trees and wreaths, covered in white lights and red ornaments, festive and bright.
It’s a winter wonderland, accentuated with red accents, my favorite color.
But I can’t focus on the décor.
Not when I’m about to marry Will.
