Tempting Love (Cowboys & Angels 3)

My chin trembled as I listened to him talk.

“Then it happened. Our love was too strong for us not to come together. Each day I woke up with you in my life, and I told myself I couldn’t possibly be so happy. So in love. And each night when I laid down next to you, I knew I had been wrong because there was always something else that made me love you more. Because I fall more in love with you and grow happier with each second of the day, Corina.”

He squeezed my hands and rubbed his thumbs across them, sending my stomach into a fluttering frenzy.

“I can’t believe the way I feel about you, Corina. You’re my life. My future. My everything. Thank you for loving me and for making me the man I am today.”

Tears fell from my eyes, and I didn’t even care. I’d never in my life felt so loved and so complete as I did in this moment.

“I love…you…so much!”

Mitchell cupped my face within his hands and turned to Pastor Burch. “Can I kiss her now?”

Everyone laughed.

“We have one thing left to do. I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss your bride.”

Mitchell’s lips pressed against mine. He dropped his hands from my face and wrapped them around my body, pulling me to him while I did the same. He lifted me up and kissed me deeper as our family cheered.

When he slowly set me down, he pulled back slightly and looked into my eyes. In a voice barely above a whisper, he asked, “So, Mrs. Parker. What position are you thinking we start our marriage off with? The seated wheelbarrow?”

Laughing, I dug my teeth into my lip and felt my lower stomach pull with desire.

“Why, Mr. Parker, what makes you think we’ll only be trying one? It’s our wedding day and I’m feeling rather adventurous.”

His full-blown dimpled smile nearly brought me to my knees.

Chloe let out a scream as Lincoln and Patches ran right by us, causing Mitchell and me to jump out of the way.

“Oh my God! He’s going for the food!” Waylynn screamed as everyone started running after the goats.

Mitchell wrapped his arms around me and dipped me back. With a light brush of his lips against mine, he looked into my eyes. “Let the adventure begin.”

…for now.
