Recipe for Eagle Cove, page 17
Oh, his hormones had tracked her whenever she’d crossed a room, her and every other girl of their thirty-four person high school class—a field of just eighteen women. Yet for reasons beyond him, he’d never so much as touched Natalya.
Then today she’d come walking through the brewery crowd with her hair the color of dark chocolate and shiny as a new penny, swept down over her shoulders. And those deep eyes catching the Christmas lights Becky had strung everywhere. If he could ever find someone to explain what it was that happened at weddings, he’d also ask them what was up with grown women and “twinkle lights.”
As the bride and groom were doing the “Until death do us part” thing, he had to glance over Greg’s head to check out what Natalya had been wearing. Somehow that hadn’t even registered as she’d come up the aisle. Just that hair and face and those deep eyes that stared straight back without even blinking. It was unnatural how long that woman could go without blinking; like she was casting a spell or something.
Jessica and Natalya wore long black straight dresses complete with black, paper flower corsages.
He got the joke right away. The death of another life of singlehood. Cute. Real cute. No, that had described Becky Billings. It even described the sleek and shining blond Jessica. It so didn’t cover the long shapely woman with smoke-dark eyes.
Natalya had never looked so…
“You can kiss the bride now, Son,” Judge Slater told his eldest and Cal had missed his chance to mess with the ceremony just to tease his best friend by protesting when the call for it was made. But he wasn’t low enough to wreck “the moment” for his buddy. That didn’t mean he was above trying to tap in on the first dance.
Though, if he could arrange to slide onto the floor with Natalya Lamont for the first dance, maybe he’d leave Becky Billings and Harry Slater to themselves.
