I’m dancing with Richard, Justin, and some other family friends when No Diggity comes on.
“Oh shit!” I shout as my favorite beat booms through the speakers. Adrenaline surges through me. I fucking love this song!
I start putting on a show, rapping and dancing in the middle of the dance floor. My friends and family surround me, dancing and cheering me on.
I feel weightless and free as I lose all inhibition and let it all out. I’m a queen. I’m a rap goddess. I’m rapping and dancing as the place goes wild.
I’m in the zone, until I see him…
My body just stops. Stops moving, stops rapping, stops everything.
I just stand there staring in awe as the crowd moves around me, oblivious to the life-changing event passing between me and this gorgeous man.
He’s at the door watching me.
Those eyes…
They’re mesmerizing. They’re hypnotic. They’re changing everything.
Time stops. I can’t even hear the blaring music. My mind is fixated on him and only him.
It’s like we’re the only two people in the room. The only two people on the planet.
He’s the most alluring, beautiful man I’ve ever seen.
And he hasn’t stopped staring at me.
He’s not a guest at the wedding, I would have noticed him before now. And I can tell he’s not from New Jersey like my family and friends. This guy has mountain man written all over him.
He’s enormous with big broad shoulders and muscular arms covered in tattoos. Is he some kind of park ranger?
I look him over in his dark green pants and light beige shirt that’s stretched tight over his massive chest. His short sleeves are squeezing his biceps in a way that’s making my heart beat insanely fast. This man is no dorky park ranger. With those hot muscles, sexy tattoos, and with the deep sensual look in his eyes, I’m certain he’s the sexiest park ranger on the planet. He just may be the sexiest man who’s ever existed.
I swallow hard as I drag my eyes back up to his face. Justin is a little drunk and dancing hard beside me. He bumps into me, but I never take my eyes off the tall dark stranger.
That long brown hair and thick brown beard look so soft. I just want to bury my hands in his hair. I want to feel that sexy beard between my legs, tickling my inner thighs. I want it. I need it.
My body aches as our eyes connect once again. My whole body hums and vibrates like he’s taken control of it. Like I’m his now. Like he can do whatever he wants with me, all he has to do is say the words and my body will listen.
“Bouquet time!” Ashley shouts as she grabs my arm.
“What? No!” I gasp as she begins pulling me to the side of the dance floor. The bar blocks my view of him and I nearly scream out in frustration.
“All the single ladies report to the dance floor,” the DJ says into the microphone.
There are only a small number of us, about ten, and they’re all linking arms.
No…
Ashley’s high school friend links my left arm and one of Dylan’s cousins links my other arm. I’m trapped.
Panic rises in my chest as I try to get another glimpse of him but can’t.
“Who wants to be the next to get hitched?” the DJ asks as Ashley dances around, swinging the bouquet over her head.
The whole place is watching. My sister is about to throw the bouquet and I’m the maid of honor. I can’t exactly run off to hit on some random stranger no matter how badly I want to.
I have one eye on my sister and one on trying to find Park Ranger Hottie as the DJ tells us to get ready.
“Three, two…”
Where is he?
“One!”
My eyes are desperately searching the room when my sister’s bouquet hits me in the chest. I instinctively wrap my arms around it and look up in shock as the whole room cheers.
Everyone is staring at me while clapping and hollering.
My cheeks burn red as my sister skips over with a big smile on her face.
“Looks like you’ll be the next one to fall.”
I swallow hard as I look down at the flowers.
I wouldn’t mind that so much.
If I get to fall into that gorgeous mountain man’s arms.
Chapter Two
Megan
“That’s my horse?” I ask with a gulp as I look at the big brown wiry creature. His head is up and he keeps looking around with wide fired-up eyes like he’s even more unsure of this than I am.
“Oh, you’re going to love Thunderbolt,” Carrie, the co-owner of the Greene Mountain Stables says. She opens the gate to the paddock and tries to get him, but the horse takes off in a full sprint. She turns around with a nervous laugh.
“Maybe I’ll just wait on the bus,” I say as my stomach does a weird flippy thing. “He doesn’t look too into it.”
