Last, but not least, was Josh. Carmen expected him to switch to being a big brother now. Maybe that was what he planned to do, but the way he looked at her was hardly brotherly. From the expression on Lori’s face at those times, she didn’t think the romance was over either – at least not for Josh.

But Carmen was more than a beautiful face on an equally beautiful body. She was passionate . . . about everything. More than likely their marriage would be strained at times, but he couldn’t picture it ever being dull. In spite of her strict moral standards on premarital relationships, Carmen was obviously stirred deeply by desire. The way the pulse throbbed in her neck when he kissed it, and the way she sounded out of breath when she pushed him away – the feel of her breasts when she molded her body to his . . .

Alex turned toward the stairs, avoiding the front office. He’d already said good bye to all of them earlier. The last thing he wanted was another tear session with the girls. It was his wedding, not his funeral.
