Chapter 23
Chapter Twenty-Three
Collin wrapped his arms around Quinn’s waist and kissed her neck as a gentle beach breeze cooled the dancing guests.
“Lady Menzie,” he whispered in her ear.
“Actually, I was thinking Thatcher-Menzie.”
He chuckled. “Of course you were. I donae care what you call yourself as long as you call yourself my wife.”
She turned in his arms and pressed her lips to his. “I can’t believe you pulled all of this off.”
“I’d move the heavens and earth for you.” Collin turned her around to face the impromptu wedding. “Thank you for being my wife.”
She glanced up at him. “Thank you for including my family, even if it was a little cheesy.”
“Are you ready to find out what I’m wearing beneath my kilt?”
“I already got a glimpse thanks to the wind. I think my mom might have had a mini-stroke, and my sisters are green with envy.” She grabbed his hand and led him back toward the house.
“You’re a vixen.” He chuckled and pulled her toward the house next door.
“Where are we going?” she asked, glancing back at the partiers.
“Our winter home,” he answered and opened the back door, ushering her inside the three-story unfurnished home and straight to the only room with furniture. The bedroom. “I figured you probably donae want Margarete decorating it, so I saved that job for you. You can decorate it however you like.”
“You bought a house…next to my parents.”
“Aye, and as much as I love seeing you in my colors, Lady Menzie, I’d much rather see you wearing nothing but a smile.”
Quinn grinned and slipped her zipper down, letting the dress pool at her feet. She stood naked except for the garter around her leg holding the emerald dagger. “I have a feeling you’ll be making me smile for the rest of my life.”
“Aye. It will be my mission to do just that.”
