Chapter 14
Sam waited to go through the greeting line. She was behind Jen but in front of Debi.
"Are you ready for all this?" Sam asked Debi.
"I'm not sure," Debi laughed. "I do need to talk to you later, okay?"
"Okay," Sam nodded.
"Don't go anywhere tonight before talking to me, please," Debi said.
"I think we're all staying at the same hotel," Sam told her.
Debi nodded.
Sam had reached the newly married couple and hugged Vanessa before hugging and kissing Nate.
"Thanks Sammy," Nate hugged her back.
Sam hugged Adam who was next in line, hugged Kit then hugged and kissed Bryan who picked her up to kiss her.
"Statue boy," Sam murmured when she was in front of Quinn.
"Faker," Quinn murmured back to her as he hugged her and kissed her.
"How am I a faker?" Sam asked.
"I saw you looking," Quinn reminded her.
"In shock, maybe," Sam laughed.
"Maybe, but you were still looking," Quinn said with a grin. "It drives Jakey crazy."
They heard Jake make a noise next to Quinn and they both looked at him. Jake darkened and Sam and Quinn smiled at him. Sam gave Quinn another quick hug and kiss before standing in front of Jake.
"How many have tried to kiss you?" Sam asked, a grin on her face.
"Wyatt thought about it, but changed his mind at the last minute," Jake teased.
Sam's jaw dropped then she laughed.
"Did Jakey just make a joke?" Bryan looked down the line.
"Yeah, can you believe it?" Quinn was laughing, then he put his arms around Debi and gave her a kiss.
"Can I kiss you?" Sam murmured to Jake.
"You kissed everyone else in my family," Jake's mouth twitched.
"Is that a yes?" Sam leaned in and stood on her tiptoes, bracing her hands on his shoulders as she pressed her mouth against his.
Jake's lips were soft under hers and Sam hugged him afterwards. Jake inhaled the lavender scent of her. The two of them exchanged soft smiles.
"I'll wait for you over there," Sam pointed to where Jen was standing. Jake looked over, frowning slightly, but nodded.
"You have to do your official duty stuff," Sam reminded him.
"Pictures," Jake made it sound like someone was going to hand him poisonous snakes and Sam snorted.
"You look very handsome in your tux," Sam grinned. "Of course, they want pictures of you in it."
Jake rolled his eyes and Sam giggled. "Not working, huh?"
"No," Jake shook his head.
Sam looked around, putting Jake on alert as she leaned closer to him. "As handsome as you are in the tuxedo, I can't wait to get you out of it later," Sam whispered directly into his ear.
Jake groaned out her name.
"I brought my chaps," Sam kissed his cheek, then went to join Jen.
When she turned around, she saw the heat in Jake's dark, almost black eyes and she couldn't help the blush.
"Oh that's rich," she heard Jake's amused voice before he chuckled.
