Airen's POV His thumb caressed my lip again as I felt him lean closer. "Now, tell me, Mio piccolo coniglietto," his warm breath brushed my ear and I felt his lips graze my cheek. Shivers of anticipation and pleasure ran through me. "Why were you panicking?" And just like that, the cold water of reality rushed through me like ice. I opened my eyes and jerked back. "I wasn't panicking," I stated firmly. His eyebrow raised and he gave me a look that said he knew I was lying. I met his look with a glare of my own. The last thing I was going to do was let this man in on what I was thinking. "Then why was your heart racing?" He asked. I raised an eyebrow of my own. "Let's see, I wake up in the dark in a strange room with a strange man that I can't see talking to me. Why do you think my heart was racing Einstien?" "You were scared." it was more of a statement than a question, but I'd take it. "No shit Sherlock," I said rolling my eyes. I glanced at my watch and winced at how much

Airen's POV "How long Airen?" The words came out as a low growl causing his chest to rumble with the vibrations. I gulped. "I-" He cut me off. "Don't lie to me. And if you say 'I don't know' again I swear to the moon goddess I will put you over my knee." He quirked an eyebrow at me as though daring me to test him on it. I bit my lip. A groan escaped Johnathan's thin and very close lips. "Keep doing that Angel, and you won't get a chance to lie to me." His husky voice whispered. I looked up into his eyes and saw him giving me a wicked and knowing smirk. I blushed, realizing that I had been caught looking at his lips. "Doing what?" I asked as I looked away guiltily. His hand reached up and gripped my chin. He used his thumb to caress my bottom lip. "Biting your lip." "Why? Does it get you all hot and bothered?" I smirked at him, both of us knowing that he had nowhere to go if he was turned on. To my utter surprise, he just smirked right back. My confusion must have shown

Johnathan's POV The day had been a blur. After the girls came in from talking on the porch, Airen looking determined and shooting Rachel with dark looks, and Rachel looking very concerned and guilty, we had all eaten our fill. A good thing too, because we haven't had a thing to eat since. There was a sandwich and snack table set up earlier around lunchtime, but Cade and I had been busy dealing with some setup issues that had come up. By the time we got back the food was gone and cleaned up and the party planner, some girl named Lily, said that we couldn't have anything else until the reception tonight. I'd nearly growled at her I was so hungry. After showering and being hidden away in Cade's room we began to get ready. Airen had brought James by so he could hang out with us for a while earlier. Unfortunately, she wasn't dressed yet, so I couldn't get a sneak peek at her in her dress. James had been ready though, and he had giggled when I pouted and whined about not seeing Airen in h

Airen's POV It wasn't hard to avoid Johnathan. I was the Maid of Honor, after all, I had plenty to do. Mom was watching James so I had one less thing to worry about during the reception. Even so, I constantly found myself looking for him in the crowd. Anytime it took more than 0.5 seconds to find him, I began to panic. I wouldn't admit it out loud, but that phone call with Nolan had shaken me up. I also found myself looking for Johnathan in the crowd quite often as well. Every time I saw him he was already looking at me. It was as though he was keeping steady track of me with his eyes. Every time I looked quickly away, my cheeks heating furiously in embarrassment. So far the reception was going well. Cade and Rachel had already cut the cake, we had eaten dinner, they had their first dance, and in a move that surprised everyone, Cade danced his mother-and-son dance with Carlotta while Rachel did her father-daughter dance with Jonathan. I watched the dances with a smile. It was nic
