Page 67 of A Cowboy Of Her Own

“Let’s dance,” he said as he tugged her onto the dance floor. He gave a nod to the band and they began playingShamelessby Garth Brooks.

“I love this song,” she said next to his ear.

“Every word is true about how you make me feel. There is nothing I won’t do for you.”

“Same here.” She wrapped her arms around his waist and rested her head against his shoulder.

Roark pulled her tight against him as they swayed to the music. Over her shoulder, he saw his mother in-law talking with Uncle Liam, and they seemed rather cozy. He chuckled.

“What are you laughing about?”

“Your mom and my uncle looking cozy together.”

Priscilla raised her head and looked over her shoulder. “Uh, oh. Your uncle is a handsome man. Mom may have set her sights on him.”

“That might not be a bad thing. He needs a good woman. He was engaged years ago but the woman broke his heart bad, and he swore he’d never get married after that.”

“Never say never,” Priscilla said grinning.

“I think they look good together. Maybe there will be another Callahan wedding soon.”

“That would make your mother in-law your aunt.”

Roark laughed. “Would I call her mom or aunt?”

“No clue on that one.” She chuckled then put her head back against his shoulder.

“Did I tell you that you look so very handsome in your tux?” she asked him as she toyed with the carnation in his lapel.

“No, you did not.” He kissed the top of her head.

“Well, you do and I can’t wait to get you out of it.”

“Oh, okay… on one condition.”

“What’s that?”

“You leave those shoes on when we get to bed.”

“Deal,” she said then laughed when Roark groaned.

Priscilla had never been so happy and she couldn’t wait to start her life with Roark. He was such a good man and she would spend the rest of her days letting him know how much she loved and appreciated him. Looking around the room, she smiled.

“What?” She heard him ask from above her.

“How did you get this wedding together so fast?”

“We Callahans don’t fool around when we want something or someone. We do whatever it takes to make it happen.”

“I like all your friends—the ones from Clifton and Hartland. Grayson and Sam are very sexy, you know. Must be those badges… but wait, they’re not wearing those badges today. Must be the men themselves.” She laughed when Roark growled, it vibrating deep in his chest beneath her ear.

“They’re both good guys but you don’t need to worry about that… you’re all mine.”

“Okay, but I’m not promising I won’t look. You have some gorgeous relatives and friends.”

Roark laughed. “As long as you keep loving me, darlin’, you can look all you want.”
