and started to giggle again.
“We better hurry.” Sam grabbed her sister’s hand and they darted inside.
When they finally made it to Jennifer’s bedroom, their mother was waiting on them. Without a word, she glanced at Sam. Smiling softly, she closed the distance and gave Sam a big hug.
Tears sprang to life. A rogue one rolled down Sam’s cheek.
“None of that now.” Her mother swatted her playfully on the butt. “We have a wedding to attend to. I’ll help Jennifer. You go get dressed and we will meet up here.”
Sam turned to walk away, but stopped, facing her mother once more. “Mom?” Batting back emotion building at an alarming sped, Sam cleared her throat.
Dammit . Even after all that had happened, she needed her mother.
Warm palms cupped her face, her mother’s expression tender. “Everything will be okay, sweetheart. Trust me.” She kissed Sam on the cheek. “Go get dressed.”
As Sam left the bedroom, she fought with the mixed bag of feelings churning inside her. After two years, betrayal and lies, how could things ever be okay again?
Chapter Seven
Music played low in the background. A flowery aroma blended with a combination of different perfumes and colognes to fill the air. The ring bearer and flower girl had already departed down the white carpet leading toward the lattice arbor where the minister and Brad waited.
The clicking of hurried heels on tile caused Kyle to turn around from where he and Allen, a friend and groomsmen, stood on the patio. Cathy came through the opening first. Ducking her head and looking away from him, she weaved her arm through Allen’s and they stepped forward. Sam was next to arrive as she appeared in the archway. She took a single step and then another toward Kyle and all the air surrounding him evaporated.
Stilettos gave the illusion of height. Yet it was the long satin, teaberry strapless gown with its crisscrossing bodice and skirt that put the finishing points to the tall slinky image she made. Each sway of her hips awoke his desire, raised memories of last night. For a moment all he could think about was sweeping her off her feet and carrying her upstairs to make mad, passionate love to her.
When Sam caught his hungry gaze, she smiled and his heart skipped a beat. It was the first real smile she had gifted him since her return.
With her hair swept up in a cascade of curls adorned by small flowers and her porcelain skin picture-perfect, Kyle was almost afraid to touch her. Switching a bouquet of white and burgundy roses sprinkled with baby’s breath to one hand, she laced the other through his extended arm.
The feel of her next to him made his eyes briefly close. It felt so good to hold her. “Beautiful,” he breathed, though the single word didn’t do her justice.
Through long, coy eyelashes she glanced up at him. “Thank you.”
Soft. Seductive. All woman.
At that moment nothing existed in his world but the woman beside him. Kyle couldn’t take his eyes off her.
“Psst… Sam. Kyle! ” Jennifer’s tone pitched, pulling his attention. Anxiety rose in her tense expression. She jerked her head toward the white carpet. “Go.”
Shit . So enchanted with Sam, he had forgotten where they were and what his job was—to lead her down the aisle. When he turned back to her, laughter danced in her eyes. Was it her happiness for her sister or had she had a change of heart about them?
Kyle stumbled on a rise in the carpet, but Sam was there to steady him as she had always done before when he needed her. Even the snickers from the crowd didn’t faze him as he reveled in the fact she stood beside him.
As they approached the minister he was reluctant to release her, but the sighs from the throng told him Jennifer was making her way down the aisle. A quick glance at Brad revealed love shining in his friend’s eyes. It was worth Kyle parting with Sam. Releasing her, he took his place next to the groom.
