Even with the rushed timetable for the wedding combined with the stress
of merging their households and finances, Amber is excited to begin a
family with the man of her dreams. However, the beginning of forever is
more difficult than either of them thought.
Locked in a battle of wills, Amber and Kevin find their commitment to
each other and their future tested. Is this the beginning of their lives
together or the end?
Excerpt
“I got a few hours before the pictures, right?” Kevin hopped into the
truck, spinning off along another gravel road toward a grove of towering
trees.
“I’m going to cancel. It’s too nasty out.” She leaned her head against
the window, gazing out at the brown tangle of limbs bowing over the
truck, threatening to snap at any second.
“Tomorrow, then.”
With so little time before the wedding, this would be the only
opportunity for photographs to be taken. If the photographer could be
rescheduled for tomorrow afternoon or perhaps over the weekend, then it
would be fine. If not in the next few days, then engagement photos, like
the engagement party, would have to be scrapped
Kevin squeezed along her thigh, loosening the muscles that were starting to knot. “Amber…”
“It’s okay.”
She pulled out her phone and called the photographer, her heart dropping
into her stomach as the woman explained that she couldn’t possibly
reschedule until sometime after the next two weeks. “I’ll give you a
call back once I move some things around.”
There’d be no moving of things. No engagement photos. She sighed in tune
with the patter of rain starting to cover the windshield again.
“Just call somebody else.”
“It’s not that easy.”
“It’s not that hard.” Kevin slowed the truck to a stop and unsnapped her seat belt.
“Uh…” Between the zip of the fabric across her chest and the unexpected
crush of his lips on hers, she was spinning, bumping against the door in
a mental tizzy. Her mouth opened further, accepting the fierce entrance
of his tongue with a soft moan. She gripped his large shoulders,
holding steady against the force of his hand tangling in her hair as the
moan in her throat deepened. Photographs? What photographs?
“This isn’t going to ruin the next few days, is it?” His gruff whisper fanned heat against her ear.
“No…” She waited for his mouth to find hers again but he was buckling her back into place.
