Dominic grinned and then turned to face the back as the music started. He almost chuckled when Faith came around the corner as a bridesmaid, followed by his other sisters. They all wore summer dresses in different shades of pink.
His smile fell when Rebeka started toward him in a white lacy summer dress. It wasn’t formal-looking, but it could pass for a wedding dress any other time. On her, it was perfect.
He couldn’t seem to get his heart to settle enough to take a full breath.
“Easy does it, son,” the judge said. “She’ll be yours in a few minutes.”
He nodded without taking his eyes off her.
Dominic seized Rebeka’s hands after Faith took her bouquet. He stared down at Rebeka and couldn’t believe he had found her and how perfect she was. He was never letting her go. She’d belong to him for the rest of her life.
Chapter Twenty-Two
Rebeka’s first look at Dominic took her breath. He was by far the most handsome man she’d ever met. The closer she got to him, the more she shook.
He tightened his grip on her. “Easy, pet. Everything’s going to be okay. I’ll always take care of you.”
For some reason, she believed every word he said, which helped calm her down. She nodded. “I know. I just hope you don’t get bored with me.”
He took a step toward her. “That’s not going to happen.”
The judge cleared his throat. “Are you two ready? Because I’m craving a glass of scotch Angus brought with him.”
She smiled. “Yes, I’m ready.”
The judge lifted his head. “We are here today to celebrate the marriage of Dominic and Rebeka.”
She stared up at Dominic as she spoke her vows. Each word seemed to solidify her feelings for him.
“I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride.”
The breath whooshed from her lungs when Dominic yanked her against his chest, his mouth descended, and his lips took hers in a kiss so blatantly carnal she would have been embarrassed if she had realized people were standing around looking at them. But all her focus was on him. No one, no sound, could break through the fog she was in at the moment.
Finally, the clapping got their attention. She lifted her head and stared.
“You look beautiful,” Dominic said.
“T-thank you.”
“Come on, guys. We’re hungry,” Blake said.
She chuckled when Dominic rolled his eyes.
“Let’s go celebrate our wedding, wife.”
“I’d be thrilled, husband.”
He growled and pressed a quick kiss on her lips. “I really like the sound of that.”
For the next several hours, they ate and drank, and she couldn’t remember having such a good time before in her life. Her new sisters were hilarious. She loved how their husbands razed hers. It felt like a family and something she never thought she’d have. Especially one like this, but she wouldn’t trade it for the world.
She was startled when arms came around her waist.
“Wife. I’ve had enough. I need to be alone with you,” Dominic said in her ear.
“Are we going back to the house?”
“No, we’re staying here in our home tonight.”
