Excerpts:
#1
Margie stood up and smiled at me.
“Garrett, Billy…I’d like you to meet my cousin, Emma Birk. Emma, these are some
good friends of mine, Garrett Mathews and Billy Bauer. We’ve known each other
since…what?
First grade?”
Billy let out a loud laugh. “Something
like that.”
He reached out his hand, and Emma shook
it as she smiled. When she glanced over at me, I momentarily forgot how to
talk. Finally, I tilted my head and tipped my cowboy hat. I held out my hand,
and she stood up.
“It’s a real pleasure to meet you, Miss Birk.”
I gave her the smile that I knew drove the girls crazy.
She bit down on her dang lip. “The
pleasure is all mine, Mr. Mathews.”
Oh dear God.
She had the voice of an angel. There went
my stupid heart again, and now, I could hear ringing in my ears.
What in the hell
is wrong with me?
I stood there, like an idiot, and just
stared at her. She was beautiful with blonde hair and bluish-gray eyes that
pierced my soul. I glanced down at her soft pink lips. I’d do anything to taste
her lips and see if she was as sweet as she looked.
She couldn’t be more than five-three, but
she had a figure on her that was to die for. The pink ribbons in her hair
screamed her innocence. The moment she placed her hand in mine, I felt a jolt
of electricity, and I was positive she’d felt it, too, because she sucked in a
breath of air. I smiled, which was a mistake. She knew I’d seen her reaction,
so she quickly pulled her hand away and sat back down. She turned her back
toward me and acted like she was listening to something Wayne was telling Anna.

By the time we were driving down our
driveway, I was fighting to keep my eyes open. I leaned my head back and
dreamed of getting out of this wedding dress. I couldn’t breathe with how tight
the corset was. Garrett would like it, that was for sure. And the fact that I
had been naughty and slipped off my knickers had me going crazy all night. I
had tried to tell Garrett at least five times that I wasn’t wearing knickers,
but every time I’d tried, someone had come up and started talking to me.
I slowly lifted my head and turned to
look at my handsome husband. “I have a surprise for you,” I said.
Garrett smiled. “I have a surprise for
you, too.” He drove right on by the house and started making his way to the
west pasture.
I giggled and put my hand up to my mouth.
I was nervous for what I was about to admit. “Garrett?”
“Yeah, Buttercup?” He looked at me
sweetly.
I slowly licked my lips. “I haven’t had
any knickers on this whole time.”
He brought the truck to a stop and put it
in park. He slowly turned his body and looked at me. When the smile spread
across his face, I couldn’t help but smile back.
“I’m so glad you didn’t tell me that back
at the church because I would have taken you right then and there. I’m pretty
sure the Lord wouldn’t have appreciated me causing my wife.

He nodded his head and took my hand
before leading me out to the dance floor. When he gently brought me into his
arms, I felt like I was finally home. “Only You” by The Platters began playing,
and I looked up into Garrett’s eyes. The way he was looking at me caused me to
hold my
breath. It felt like a million
butterflies were flying around in my stomach, and all I wanted was for him to
kiss me. I quickly looked around to see who was watching us. I looked back up
into his eyes, and he started laughing.
“You must be thinking the same thing I
am, Buttercup,” he said as he winked.
Every hair on my body stood up. I gave
him a slight smile. “And what exactly are you thinking of, Mr. Mathews?”
“I wish you weren’t dating Michael
because I’d really love to kiss you right now.”
My smile dropped, and I felt my eyes
beginning to water. I licked my lips. “I’m not dating him. I told Michael that
I had feelings for someone else, and he told me the same thing.”
The look on Garrett’s face was one I knew
I would never forget for as long as I live. It almost
appeared to be relief. As the song was beginning to end, Garrett looked down at
my lips. I had never wanted something so badly in my entire life. I was
practically willing him to kiss me. He began to lean down, but then someone
started calling out his name.
