the thirst burned up her throat.
Kate gave Lindsey a tight smile. “Thanks.”
“Oh, I almost forgot.” Lindsey reached off to the side and held up a vintage
birdcage veil for Kate’s inspection. Kate nodded in approval.
Securing
the cluster of flowers toward the back of Kate’s head, Lindsey flipped the mesh
of the veil down over Kate’s face, its softly scalloped edge ending just above
her upper lip. “There.”
“Perfect.” Gianna pressed a kiss to each of Kate’s veiled cheeks. “I’ll see you
in there.”
“Okay. I’ll be the one in white.”
Gianna nodded and disappeared through a doorway Kate assumed led into the
chapel. Lindsey handed Kate the stockings, garter, and white satin heels. Kate
rolled the silky stockings up her legs and secured them to the stays of her
bustier. Sliding the garter into place on her right thigh, Kate stepped into
the high heels. Crossing and securing the ribbons at her ankles, she tied each
into a small bow at the back of her leg.
“You ready, girl?” Lindsey asked with an approving smile.
Kate nodded. “I’ve never been more ready in my life.”
“Then let’s go get married,” Lindsey squealed, waving her hands in excitement.
Kate rose to her feet, sucked in a deep breath, and dragged Lindsey in for a
hug. “I’m so glad you’re here,” she whispered. “I thought I’d never see you
again.”
Sniffling, Lindsey stepped back and examined her at arm’s length. Her blue eyes
brimmed with unshed tears. “Are you kidding me? I wouldn’t have missed it for
the world.”
She squeezed Kate’s hands before
releasing them. “I’m glad it all worked out for you and Dominic, even if it means
I don’t get to see you all the time. Now, stop with the mushy stuff before my
mascara runs. Let’s go get your happily ever after.”
Kate linked her arm through Lindsey’s and let her best friend lead her through
the door Gianna had used moments before.

Giovanni
watched Lindsey and Kate emerge through the chapel doors. He couldn’t take his
eyes off of the tiny blonde American. From the soft rise and
fall of her breasts with each gentle breath, to the seductive sway of her hips with
each dainty step.
Dominic
had given him one job. Keep Lindsey out of trouble. Get her safely to the
church, and then back on a plane to America. No sweat, right? Yeah, little did
he know, Kate’s best friend was a sex-crazed siren. The memory of their first
meeting a few short hours ago left him amused, confused, and hard with desire…
Lindsey stepped down from the stairs onto the tarmac, looked him up and down
as though appraising a pure bred canine at a dog show, and grinned. “You must
be the marginally less hot brother,” she said, her blue eyes sparkling like
sapphires in the sunlight.
Giovanni gaped at her in silence. There were no words. Like a sunrise, she was
beautiful, unique and impossible to tear his eyes from.
Lindsey patted his bicep. “I wouldn’t have taken you for the strong, silent
type, but okay, I’ll play along.”
“I’m not sure whether I should be flattered or offended,” Giovanni said,
arching a brow at the strange, but beautiful woman.
“Baby, you take it however you want to,” Lindsey purred, trailing her fingers
suggestively down his chest and stomach. “If I told you that you had a nice
body, would you hold it against me?”
Giovanni cleared his throat and prayed God would grant him patience... and
willpower. If the woman was going to touch him like that, Dominic would need to
find someone to protect her from him. “You must be Miss Ryland. Dominic sent me
to… um… er
