This was the longest wedding reception in the history of the world She wished it were over--which truly was saying so reception
Jack leaned closer and whispered, "Stop sighing"
His warht side of her body Keely turned her head so his five o’clock shadow scraped her jaw She closed her eyes and inhaled his fane, starch on his shirt collar and the underlying hint of his heated flesh
Jack Donohue Her husband She really and truly was eous, sexy, intense ain, not out of annoyance, but out of pure pleasure
He snize"
"I have different sounding sighs?"
"Uh-huh Youup sex e aren’t having any just makes me cranky, Jack"
His soft chuckle tickled her ear
"It’s not funny Why aren’t we rolling around in bed nekkid right now?" she demanded in a fierce whisper "We are married Why are we still stuck at the reception? No one would care if we left"
He eased back to gaze into her eyes "As much as I can’t wait to roll around naked with you, if we skip out early, your dad will killyou into abefore you’ve had a chance to be a wife"
His voice dropped an octave and the possessive ruh her in an electric caress "My wife"
"You certainly get off on saying o ahead and call me a Neanderthal"
"I would if itht now?"
she asked hopefully
"God, I wish"
"Jack, I--"
The chinking of silverware hitting glassware crescendoed Knohat the crowd of family and friends wanted, Keely twined her arling kiss that probably caused soive a da day
If she wanted to make out with her husband, she damn ould
When they broke apart, Jack murmured, "Two more hours and I se’re outta here"
"I’ less, buttercup"
"So where are we going in one hour and fifty-nine minutes?"
He kissed her temple and said, "It’s a surprise," for the ed his attention and he turned away
Sneaky-ass tease Jack hadn’t told her where they were spending their teek island honeymoon beyond the cryptic hint that she only needed to pack beachwear--preferably a dozen skiuts if she bribed his-attached sexual favors But this tie
After the Twin Pines banquet workers cleared the dinner plates, the head table was disasse dance andparty were relocated Which would’ve been fine with her, if she and Jack hadn’t ended up on opposite sides of the dance floor
A hard bump connected with her hip as AJ McKay--her best friend, matron of honor and sister-in-law--sidled up beside her "Why the frowny face, Mrs Donohue?"
She plastered on a fake grin "Better?"
"No, that’s actually worse What’s up? You see if she ad her husband? Wait Could she even be a ho-bag if she was obsessed about having nonstop, shake-the-barn-rafters sex with the ed the rest of her life to?
"Granted, we’re all anxious It’s been a crazy couple of weeks," AJ said, breaking Keely’s thoughts
"Four different fa your bridal shower The bachelorette party I think Raover"
Everyone had been shocked at how tame former wild child Keely McKay’s bachelorette party had played out last weekend Not a lot of takers for a tequila shooting contest besides her cousin Ramona when the majority of Keely’s sisters-in-law and female fa to her fore relief
Screeching feedback from the microphone distorted the air
"Sorry about that," JC Blackwell said froe "The band is set up and we’re ready to kick off the weddin’ dance So can I get Carson and Keely up here? We’ll start out with the father-daughter dance
Hey, you know, in all the years I’ve been doin’ this, that’s the first tihter rang out as Keely met her father in the center of the dance floor
He squinted at her
"What?"
"You’ve got a funny look on your face, girlie Aw hell, you ain’t gonna cry again, are you?"
"Maybe" She playfully tugged on the silky silver handkerchief poking out of the front pocket of his suit "At least you’re prepared if I do begin to bawl"
