you, Ice.” Wolf’s words were spoken against her lips.
“I love you too, Matthew.” Each word out of her mouth brushed her lips against his. Before the last syllable was out of her mouth, Wolf completed the connection between them. He held her head still and tilted his mouth even more until he had Caroline right where he wanted her. Their tongues dueled with each other, tasting and teasing each other. It wasn’t their first kiss by any stretch of the imagination.
But it was their first kiss as husband and wife. Somehow that made it completely different from any other kiss they’d ever shared before. It took the pastor clearing her throat for the third time to make Wolf pull away from his wife. He smiled down at Caroline and ran his fingertip down her reddened cheek. “Mine.”
Caroline smiled up at him. “Yours,” she whispered back.
“Lean down here so I can kiss the bride,” Cookie demanded, interrupting their moment.
Caroline laughed and turned to the bed and leaned over. Instead of the chaste kiss on the cheek Caroline expected, Hunter kissed her hard on the lips.
“Hey!” Wolf snapped.
Caroline laughed and playfully smacked Hunter on the shoulder. “You shouldn’t mess with him like that.”
“But he makes it so easy,” was Cookie’s response.
“My turn,” Dude stated, and turned Caroline to him. He too kissed her on the lips. “Welcome to the family.”
And so it went. Each man on the team took his turn, and said how glad they were that Caroline was now officially a part of their family.
When Caroline got back around to Matthew, she could see he was holding on to his temper by his fingernails. She tried to soothe him. “Hey, husband.” Her words did the trick.
“Hey, wife.” Wolf gathered Caroline into his arms and relaxed when she melted into him.
“Smile!” Fiona ordered, snapping a picture with her cell phone before either Caroline or Wolf could move.
“That’s a good one!” she exclaimed after checking it out on her phone. “I’ve been taking pictures throughout the ceremony, but I think that’s my favorite.”
Alabama unexpectedly thrust her cell phone into Fiona’s line of vision without a word.
“Okay, I lied. That is my favorite.” Fiona took Alabama’s phone out of her hand and turned the screen to Caroline and Wolf.
Alabama had snapped the photo as Wolf was kissing his bride. The passion he had for Caroline was clear. Caroline’s head was bent backward at what should have been an awkward angle, but Wolf’s hands at her neck prevented it from bending too far back. Both Caroline and Wolf had their eyes shut and Caroline’s hand was cupped on the back of Wolf’s head.
“Wow,” was all Caroline could say at seeing the picture. “I definitely need a copy of that.”
Wolf just leaned down and kissed Caroline’s temple gently.
Fiona gave the phone back to Alabama, and sat on the bed next to Hunter. She put her hand over his and Caroline watched as Hunter turned his hand over immediately to grasp Fiona’s hand tightly.
“So, is it time for the first dance yet?” Hunter asked with a tone just short of being snarky.
Caroline knew he was still irritated with her. It didn’t matter how many times she reassured him that she had the song all picked out and had consulted with the DJ. The fact that Caroline refused to tell Hunter what song she’d chosen, really irritated him. He’d asked and demanded, then tried to guilt her into telling him, but Caroline had held firm. She’d wanted one thing to be a surprise.
“As a matter of fact, I think it is,” Caroline told Hunter agreeably. She turned to Faulkner and held out her hand. “Thanks for holding my phone.”
Dude pulled Caroline’s phone out of his pocket and handed it over.
While Caroline was searching for the correct song on her music app, Cookie turned to Fiona. “Did you know what song she was gonna choose?”
“Don’t bring me into this, Hunter,” Fiona told him sternly, brushing her
