Branded By The Mountain Man (Thickwood CO)

“We’re getting married,” I murmur, giddy with happiness.

“Yeah, honey,” Braden laughs, looking back at me.

“I can’t wait until I can call you my husband.”

“Then, let’s get this over with, wife.”

“Umm… while I appreciate the sentiment, hubby, I’m not sure you’re supposed to say you want to get this over with,” I chastise.

“If we hurry and get the wedding done, we can start the honeymoon,” he says, his voice dropping down a notch, the look in his eyes sending chills of anticipation over my body.

“Hurry up, Preacher. My man and I have plans!” I say excitedly and I’m instantly rewarded with laughter surrounding me—the loudest of which is Braden’s…

Which is exactly what I wanted.

He puts his arm around me, and we face the preacher together and I feel safe in saying that is how we always will be.

Forever.
