Chapter 163 Twenty: Savannah

• The trainer nods at me. I turn back when I hear the music start. I take a deep breath before I go out the door, the puppies trailing behind me. My eyes go straight to Loka. The look on his face makes me pause for a moment, wanting to take it all in. Love and possession fill his eyes. He goes to step toward me, but his father stops him by putting his hand on his arm. I fight back a giggle as I make my way toward him. Red and pink roses are everywhere. Nothing seems to be untouched by them. When I'm within arm's reach, he pulls me to him, taking my mouth in a deep kiss. I get lost in him, and once again everything melts away.
• "Let her breathe!" I hear Tia shout, making me laugh as I pull back from him.
• I barely hear the reverend or remember saying my vows before Loka is told to kiss me again. He does. Excited cheers ring out, but this time when I pull back from him I bring my lips to his ear.
