.Ostentatious, but definitely impressive.Having pulled the first round of nannyduty because, as his witch put it, he didn t need to do anything to make himself lookpretty, he followed a few paces behind Rumpel and his little girl.Ryker still couldn t believe he was attending the wedding of the anti-Christ, not tomention said man would be marrying Evangaline s sister.What kind of family am Igetting into? It would sure make for interesting family get-togethers.* * * *Inside, Evangaline had to restrain herself from running even though her sisterseemed determined to drive her to it. I look fat, don t I? Isobel said, twirling to look at her ass in the mirror. Your scrawny ass is still as skinny as the rest of you, reassured Evangaline. Would you untangle your knickers from the knot you ve put them in? You love him,don t you? Of course I do, said Isobel blinking. Did you just use the L-word?Evangaline shot her sister a dirty look. So how are you and that hunky shifter of yours doing? asked Isobel slyly,adjusting her neckline to deepen her cleavage. He s not mine, mumbled Evangaline.Although his beast did mark me as his.I justwish I knew how the man feels about me. Oh, please.The two of you are meant for each other. Yeah, even if I did like him, there s the whole different species thing going on.Doyou really think granddad would go for it? Or mother? Evangaline actually didn t carewhat her family thought, but she wanted Isobel off her back. Actually, mother liked him. She what? Evangaline just stared at her sister dumbstruck. She had coffee with him when we were doing the dress fittings and she s all for it.She just says it s a shame you can t make babies. I don t like babies, remember, said Evangaline with a glower, not understandingwhy she felt a pang at the thought of never having a cute and sweet little boy thatresembled Ryker with his vivid blue eyes.And at that thought, Evangaline finally knew without a shadow of doubt.I love him.Sitting down hard, something of her shock must have registered in her face, for hersister rushed over to her and clasped her hands. What s wrong? I think I love him. But that s wonderful, exclaimed Isobel.Evangaline shook her head. No.He doesn t love me back. Are you sure about that?Evangaline s brow knotted in confusion. I don t know.I ve never felt like thisbefore, all confused and stuff.It s almost nauseating. Tell him, said Isobel patting her hand. I think you might be surprised at hisanswer.Admit my feelings? What if he rejects or mocks me? I can t even turn him into a frog.There was a knock on the door and the wedding planner from Hell literally stuckher horned demon head around the jamb. It s time, ladies.Let s get this show moving.Evangaline wore a scowl as she started her walk down the aisle created in theballroom between the sections of seats, her bouquet of blood red roses clutched tightly.Then she saw him.Ryker stood devastatingly tall and handsome with the other groomsmen.When theireyes met, his lips curled into a smile just for her.His blue eyes smoldered withappreciation and Evangaline couldn t help the brilliant smile that burst forth.What ashame they couldn t ditch this matrimonial circus and find a secluded closet somewhere,or even just a private wall.Standing on the bride s side, she couldn t stop staring at Ryker, and even odder, henever took his eyes off her.Mentally slapping herself, she reminded herself that they were still on a job, not tomention her sister was getting married.She flicked a look over at Tina, who stood besideher, waiting her turn to sing, then at Isobel who stared up at her prince of Hell with somuch joy it made Evangaline sick.Oh fuck, I hope I don t look like that when I stare at Ryker.Finally, the ceremony came to a close, and the presiding hooded figure said, I nowpronounce you man and wife.May you live forever, and cursed be any who would drawyou apart.Those words were the cue for Tina to step forward and even if she appeared shy, thevoice that burst forth from her frail form would have made angels weep.She truly had amusical gift, and as she sang of love and commitment, Evangaline couldn t help lookingover at Ryker.The burning look in his eyes made her shiver.A last lingering note and the audience burst in thunderous applause.Ryker hoveredaround Tina and her father as Evangaline, at the bullying insistence of her mother andsister, stood for photos.As soon as she could, she escaped and met up with Ryker and herpatron. Okay, time to do this.Come on, she said leading the way, tossing her bouquet at astartled nymph.They went as a group to the dining hall [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
