Page 39 of Something Borrowed

All of a sudden she was overwhelmed by a rush of emotions seemed to drown her – happiness, lust, excitement – and she took a deep breath. Blowing it out slowly, she let the sensations slip away, leaving nothing save for the happiness she felt at knowing she would spend forever with the man she’d been in love with her wholelife.

“I think I’d like a March wedding,” she smiled at Kailey. “Your sister can keep April.”

Kailey laughed. “Thanks for that. If you don’t mind, though, I think I know the perfect place.”

“Ordinarily I’d say slow down and enjoy Christmas. But a wedding in three months requires quick planning,” Jim said. “I know how long ourstook.”

“That’s because my sister is neurotic,” Jaxon said, not taking his eyes of Adrianna.

“If you’re done insulting, I was going to say that I think you should get married in the backyard aswell.”

Adrianna thought back to last spring. To the beautiful arch covered in roses and the gentle cool breeze that was a relief from the humidity. She’d always dreamed of getting married along the Mississippi, but there was something about marrying the boy of childhood in a home that had meant a lot to her during her childhood, that seemed too perfect.

“If your dad is all right with it, I’d love to get married here.” She felt Jaxon tug her against his side and she sighed, leaning her head on his shoulder. “Just as long as it’s Jaxon and there’s no more switch-a-roo's at Donovan weddings.”

The deep rumble of his laugh moved through her head because of where it rested. “I can promise you, you’ll have to find a different something borrowed for our wedding.”
