Sweet Topping CV3 (17 page)

Three months later…

“Come on, your hair looks fine,” Kevin yelled at his brother.

“Chill. I’ve got time. I’m only getting married once and I want to look my best,” Kyle said, determined to get each hair standing up in just the right place.

“I’ve got your jacket, let’s go.”

Huffing, Kyle turned away from the mirror and wheeled his way to the door. He was still a little pissed his family had insisted he stay at the lodge with them instead of spending the night with Gill. Now he had all these stupid nerves and Gill wasn’t around to soothe him.

He made his way down the wheelchair ramp and towards his dad’s rental car.

“Ready, son?”

“More than you’ll ever know,” Kyle answered.

Gill was the one greeting their guests as they filled the chairs surrounding the gazebo.

His mom and younger sister were on the front row, both looking extremely happy. They’d met Kyle the prior evening and were instantly taken with him. Who could blame them, Gill thought. Kyle was so charming Gill would’ve fallen in love with him all over again if they’d just met.

He got a signal from Hal that Kyle and his family had arrived. Finally. Gill wanted nothing more than to see Kyle. Last night had been hell. It was hard to believe after a lifetime of bachelorhood that three months sharing a bed with Kyle had ruined him for sleeping alone.

Gill patted his inside tux pocket, making sure the tickets were there. For a wedding present, Gill was whisking his man off to sunny Maui. They’d have ten full days of lying on the beach while sipping silly umbrella drinks.

“Ready?” Hal said in his ear as the last of the guests were seated.

“You have no idea,” Gill grinned and walked back towards Kyle who’d positioned himself at the head of the aisle. They’d decided to do things a little differently. Instead of waiting at the gazebo, Gill and Kyle had decided to go down the aisle together.

Gill chuckled at the memory of Kyle arguing with his mother over decorating the wheelchair. Kyle had put his foot down, so to speak, reminding his mother once again that he wasn’t a damn bride who needed everything frilly.

Kyle’s therapy was coming along nicely but he still wasn’t able to make the walk without his chair. Gill had offered Kyle the option of postponing the wedding until he could make the walk, but Kyle had declined the offer. According to him, even a wheelchair wouldn’t ruin his day.

Gill took his place beside Kyle and bent over to whisper in his ear. “If all these people weren’t here, I’d have you up against a tree having my wicked way with you.”

“You do say the sweetest things,” Kyle said, batting his long blond lashes.

When the music started and Reverend Sharp took his place at the gazebo, Kevin stepped forward brandishing a walker. Confused, Gill looked over at Kyle. “What’s going on?”

Kyle grinned and took the walker from his brother. “Your wedding present.” Leaning on the chrome handles, Kyle slowly stood.

After Kevin took away the chair, Kyle looked up at Gill. “I can make it, but I’m slow.”

“Doesn’t matter,” Gill said, wrapping his arm protectively around Kyle’s waist. “Is this okay?”

Kyle nodded and took his first step. Gill held his breath as they continued down the aisle. He was so overwhelmed with emotion he could barely see through his tears. Wiping his eyes, he looked around at their friends and family. He hoped they didn’t think he was a total wimp. What he saw when he looked into their eyes, was the same awe and emotion shining in his own. Kyle Brynn was one hell of a man.

By the time they reached the gazebo, Kyle’s arms were shaking. “Do you need the chair?” Gill asked.

“No, but if I start to fall, catch me.”

“Always,” Gill spoke around the knot in his throat.
