Acquiring Trouble

    “I do, but you won’t , ” Cy responded.
    “Not yet. I will if I think I need to.”
    “I know and I know I can count on you, but I need time to make my own mark , ” Cy told him.
    “I miss you, you know?”
    “ Me too. Tell everyone I love them . And try not to let Pierce get you all arrested down at the lake.”
    “Yeah, then I’d need your help!”
    Miles talked with Cy a little longer before he heard his cell phone ring. They said their goodbyes, but he couldn’t help but think something more was going on that Cy wasn’t telling him. Well, hell, he knew things were going on that Cy wasn’t telling him, he j ust didn’t know what they were.
    This time t he caller ID on his phone showed it was Morgan calling. His dark mood lifted as he answered his phone. He never envisioned himself as a family man, but he found himself looking forward to getting home every night. E ven if he didn’t tell Morgan, he dreamed of little children running around his office . But f irst he had a wedding to go to.

 
Epilogue
     
    Morgan looked in the mirror as Pam attached her fingertip lace veil. Morgan loved her dress , a lovely ivory lace gown that hugged her curves and flared into a beautiful trumpet bottom. When she walked down the aisle it looked like th e bottom of her dress swirled.
    “You look so beautiful!” Annie clapped her hands as she walked into the room dressed in her amethyst bridesmaid dress and carrying Morgan’s bouquet of flowers.
    “Oh, you’re stunning!” Paige cried as she came in after Annie. “Are you ready to get married?”
    “Absolutely!”
     
    Miss Lily and her sisters took their seat s in the church. Beautiful string music played as the ceremony was about to begin . Each of the sisters gave the other s a grin. Only two more were left and they had a good feeling another Davies brother was going to be bit by the love bug very soon. If not, they’d just have to play cupid all on their own.
    “Oh, look how handsome they all look!” Miss Lily whispered to her sisters as the Davies men came to stand at the front of the churc h in their tuxedos.
    “Do you really think Pierce will be the next to fall?” Miss Daisy asked.
    “Twenty bucks says he is,” Miss Violet dug aroun d her purse and showed the twenty to Miss Daisy.
    “Deal.”
    The doors to the church opened and Tammy hurried in. Miss Lily felt her eyes widen at the si ght of the small sprite of a girl suddenl y turned into a woman. Gone w ere the jeans and t-shirt , replaced by a form - fitting little black dress with a plunging neckline and a pair of four - i nch heels.
    “Whoa. Look at that accessory,” Miss Lily whispered.
    “I know. Those shoes are amazing , ” Miss Violet replied.
    “She’s talking about that necklace that disappears into her cleavage , ” Miss Daisy told Violet.
    “You’re both wrong. I’m talking about him,” Miss Lily pointed to the man hurrying in behind Tammy. The women all sucked in a breath as the G reek god smiled down at Tammy and slipped her hand into the crook of her arm.
    “Talk about tall , dark , and sexy , ” Miss Daisy whistled as Tammy and her hunky  m an took a seat.
    “He looks like an underwear model,” Miss Violet said wistfully.
    A whispered curse filled the church and everyone looked around to see who had said it, but then the music started and everyone turned to watch the wedding party enter. All except the Rose sisters , who saw the clenched jaw and fisted hands of Pierce Davies standing in front of the church before Cade gently nudged him and he put a smile back on his face.
    Miss Daisy let out her own curse and dug around in her purse until she found what she was looking for. She handed her sister a twenty. “I guess you were right.”
    “Told ya ,” Miss Violet grinned.
     
    Miles stood at the front of the church waiting to get a glimpse of his bride. The candles twinkled , casting a warm glow on the purple and green flowers adorning the church. The music started and Miles felt his heart speed up. The doors to the church opened and his bride was there, gliding down the aisle toward him.
    Miles felt his breath leave him as a lump formed in his throat. She really was breathtaking. She smiled up at him and he felt a love he had never known before . His own little piece of trouble was going to make him the luckiest man in the world.
    Before he knew it Father James told him to kiss his bride. He finally felt as if he could breathe. Some
