Grinning, he took the call and waited for her face to appear.“Hi, babe.”
She was wearing her flannel pajamas again and had a slightly tipsy smile on her face.
“I think I’m a little drunk,” she said.“Mom had a bottle of bubbly.”
“So am I.We’ve finished that bottle of brandy you had in your cupboard.”
“So, my brothers haven’t given you a hard time again?”
“Nah.I’ve asked them to be my groomsmen.Luke volunteered too.”
“Thank you for asking them.I miss you!”
“Miss you too.What can we do about it?”he asked wiggling his eyebrows.
A slow smiled appeared.“I’m so glad you asked.Shall we continue our sexy video call from the other night?”
His body reacted to her raspy voice.“Oh, yeah?What did you have in mind?”
“Well,” she said opening the first button, “I was thinking we could continue where we left off the first time.”By the time she finished speaking, her top was undone.“If you show me your six-pack, I’ll show you mine.”Slowly, she moved the parts of her top to the side.
“Damn, Willow, you’re killing me,” he groaned.“How the hell am I supposed to sleep tonight?”
“You’ll feel much better afterward, trust me,” she whispered, sending his already heated blood way beyond boiling point.
As her voice continued to hypnotize him, he slipped further down the pillows, obeying her orders.What he’d ever done to deserve such a beautiful, talented, sexy, and adventurous woman, he didn’t know, but he had a lifetime to show her how deeply he loved her.
His bride was certainly full of surprises.

Willow was awakenedon her wedding day by her sisters-in-law jumping on her bed.While she was still trying to open her eyes, her mom entered with a tray and put it on the table.
“Come on, sleepyhead!”Laura cried.“We’ve been awake for hours and you won’t get up!”
Willow was immediately wide awake.“I’m getting married today!”Laughing, she got up and joined her friends.
“Girls, girls!”her mother said.“We don’t have much time.We still have a Christmas dinner to think of as well, remember, and Willow, we don’t have any details.For instance, what time do you want the ceremony?”
Suddenly, Willow stopped jumping.Quickly, she jumped off the bed.“Just give me a minute.”
“What…?”Rose asked but Willow was already out of the door.
Barefoot, she ran down the stairs.She was in time to open the front door before Hunter could knock.
He had a small packet in his hand.A huge grin broke out over his face.“This is a lovely surprise.I thought I wasn’t supposed to see my bride…”
Leaning forward she kissed him.She simply wanted to tease him, but within seconds his hands were all over her.
“Willow?”her mother called from behind her.
Giggling, she pushed against him.“Oh, my mother wanted to know what time we’re getting married?”
“I don’t care.Whatever you want.”
“Around five, maybe?We’ll have dinner afterward…”
“And then I’m taking you home.We have so much to talk about.Where do you want to live?What…?”
