“Thanks, Kai.”
He kissed her cheek. “Anything for you and Hunter.”
Neri didn’t remember much about the walk down the stairs or into the back courtyard covered in fluffy snow giving it a fairytale feel. Silas waved at her as she waved back, blowing him a kiss. But everything came to focus the moment she spotted Hunter in his black tuxedo adorned with a silver tie, pocket square, and vest. He looked spectacular.
But it was his smile that had her heart kicking in her chest. He beamed at her as Kai transferred her hold from him to Hunter’s hands and kissed her cheek.
The rest of the ceremony passed in a blur. She said the words ‘I do’ after Hunter squeezed her hands and before she knew it, they were pronounced husband and wife. Hugs and congratulations made her face hurt from smiling so much and before she knew it, it was their first dance.
“For a minute, I thought you would change your mind,” Hunter said.
She shook her head and laughed when Hunter dipped her and pulled her back up. “No, love. I was nervous before the ceremony and Kai was right, after I saw you, I calmed. But then there was only you and me, and I couldn’t take my eyes off you. All sounds ceased.”
Hunter kissed her, leaving her breathless.
“I love you, Neri. I will always do everything in my power to make you happy.”
She kissed him back, and when her lips touched his, she said, “I love you, too, panther. For the rest of our existence.”
