“Just thought you'd want to know.” With a knowing twinkle in his eye, Riley's gaze shifted from Josie to his brother. “Carry on.”
As soon as the door shut, Josie turned to Davis Lee. “I guess Ian's trial can go on as scheduled.”
His gaze was soft on her face. “I want to get married right now.”
“Right now?” Josie about fell out of his lap. “No.”
“What do you mean no?” he demanded. “You said you would.”
“Davis Lee, you've just been shot.”
“When then? Don't make me wait. Do you want a wed
ding like Catherine's? I don't think I can wait as long as Jericho did.”
“No, I don't want a wedding like Catherine's, but I would like you to be able to stand up when we get married.”
“Tomorrow.”
“I'm not going anywhere. We can wait until you're healed.”
“Tomorrow.”
He kissed his way along her jaw, down the side of her neck then gently sank his teeth into the curve where her shoulder began.
“All right,” she murmured. “Tomorrow.”
He chuckled. “You didn't even try to bargain with me.”
She brought his head back to hers. “That's because I already have what I want.”
He folded her hand in his and placed them both over her heart. “Me, too.”
“Now, about that weddingâ”
Eyes laughing, he kissed the starch right out of her.
