At the moment you are no less than five shades of gray.” Legna continued with her interrupted weaving of more ribbons in Isabella’s hair. “And as much as it matches the silver of your dress, I think you would look better with a little natural color.” Legna reached to smooth down a portion of the shimmering silver fabric that draped off of the bride’s shoulders in a Grecian fashion. “You know,” she pressed, “there are only two nights in a year when Demons perform a joining ceremony. Samhain and Beltane. If you pass out tonight, you will have to wait until next spring.” “Thanks for the bulletin. You’re too kind,” Isabella retorted dryly. “Actually, purely out of kindness, I will tell you that your future husband is just shy of tossing his cookies himself, so you can take comfort in knowing he is just as nervous as you are.” “Legna!” Bella laughed. “You’re a wretch!” She turned to look at the female Demon, briefly admiring how pretty she looked in her soft white chiffon gown. “And how would you know? You’re standing too close to me to be able to sense his emotions.” “Because when I went to fetch the ribbons, he was seated next to Noah with his head between his knees.” Legna giggled. “I have never seen anything rattle Jacob before. I cannot help but find it amusing.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Jacquelyn Frank" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/jacquelyn-frank/stop-fussing-legna-admonished-her-tapping-her-finger-against-isabella/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/66b/jacquelyn-frank-7555_bride_stop-fussing-legna-admonished-her-tappin_257048.png", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/66b/jacquelyn-frank-7555_bride_stop-fussing-legna-admonished-her-tappin_257048.png", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/66b/jacquelyn-frank-7555_bride_stop-fussing-legna-admonished-her-tappin_257048.png", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“Stop fussing,” Legna admonished her, tapping her finger against Isabella’s absently energetic hand. “I’m…” — Jacquelyn Frank", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 2, "item": { "@type": "Quotation", "text": "“Now, tell me again why I’m freezing my ass off in the middle of the woods?” Legna chuckled. “Because it is tradition. Your mate must find you and then carry you to the altar. Seeking you out is symbolic of his desire to let nothing come between you. Bringing you to the altar is a reflection of how it is his duty to help you over obstacles so that you may reach moments of joy together.” “It’s very romantic,” Isabella said, “if a little chauvinistic.” “Not in the least. The sharing of responsibility within a joining is symbolized just as strongly. The bride must tie the handfasting ribbon around her mate’s wrist. The white ribbon symbolizes honesty and love and fidelity, and by allowing himself to be so tied means the groom must provide for her at all times, as she will provide for him. The black is a promise that they will forever do all in their power to protect their union, their children, and the perpetuation of the essentials of our culture.” “But you’ve tied a red ribbon to the end of the black, Legna. What does thatmean?” “Actually”—the Demon woman smiled—“there is no precedent for the red ribbon. However, I felt it only fair to have a physical reminder that you have a culture of your own and will have just as much right to perpetuate that within your children as Jacob does.” “Legna,” Isabella giggled, giving her an admonishing look, “that is positively rebellious and feminist of you.” “I never claimed to be an old-fashioned girl,” Legna confided with a wink.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Jacquelyn Frank" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/jacquelyn-frank/now-tell-me-again-why-i-m-freezing-my-ass-off-in-the-middle-of-the/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/998/jacquelyn-frank-7555_bride_now-tell-me-again-why-i-m-freezing-my-as_1129568.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/998/jacquelyn-frank-7555_bride_now-tell-me-again-why-i-m-freezing-my-as_1129568.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/998/jacquelyn-frank-7555_bride_now-tell-me-again-why-i-m-freezing-my-as_1129568.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“Now, tell me again why I’m freezing my ass off in the middle of the woods?” Legna chuckled. “Because it is…” — Jacquelyn Frank", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 3, "item": { "@type": "Quotation", "text": "“Damn it, Jacob, I’m freezing my butt off.” “I came as fast as I could, considering I thought it would be wise to walk the last few yards.” Isabella whirled around, her smiling face lighting up the silvery night with more ease than the fullest of moons. She leapt up into his embrace, eagerly drinking in his body heat and affection. “I can see it now. ‘Daddy, tell me about your wedding day.’ ‘Well, son,’” she mocked, deepening her voice to his timbre and reflecting his accent uncannily, “’The first words out of your mother’s mouth were I’m freezing my butt off !’” “Very romantic, don’t you think?” he teased. “So, you think it will be a boy, then? Our first child?” “Well, I’m fifty percent sure.” “Wise odds. Come, little flower, I intend to marry you before the hour is up.” With that, he scooped her off her feet and carried her high against his chest. “Unfortunately, we are going to have to do this hike the hard way.” “As Legna tells it, that’s what you’re supposed to do.” “Yeah, well, I assure you a great many grooms have fudged that a little.” He reached to tuck her chilled face into the warm crook of his neck. “Surely the guests would know. It takes longer to walk than it does to fly . . . or whatever . . . out of the woods.” “This is true, little flower. But passing time in the solitude of the woods is not necessarily a difficult task for a man and woman about to be married.” “Jacob!” she gasped, laughing. “Some traditions are not necessarily publicized,” he teased. “You people are outrageous.” “Mmm, and if I had the ability to turn to dust right now, would you tell me no if I asked to . . . pass time with you?” Isabella shivered, but it was the warmth of his whisper and intent, not the cold, that made her do so. “Have I ever said no to you?” “No, but now would be a good time to start, or we will be late to our own wedding,” he chuckled. “How about no . . . for now?” she asked silkily, pressing her lips to the column on his neck beneath his long, loose hair. His fingers flexed on her flesh, his arms drawing her tighter to himself. He tried to concentrate on where he was putting his feet. “If that is going to be your response, Bella, then I suggest you stop teasing me with that wicked little mouth of yours before I trip and land us both in the dirt.” “Okay,” she agreed, her tongue touching his pulse. “Bella . . .” “Jacob, I want to spend the entire night making love to you,” she murmured. Jacob stopped in his tracks, taking a moment to catch his breath. “Okay, why is it I always thought it was the groom who was supposed to be having lewd thoughts about the wedding night while the bride took the ceremony more seriously?” “You started it,” she reminded him, laughing softly. “I am begging you, Isabella, to allow me to leave these woods with a little of my dignity intact.” He sighed deeply, turning his head to brush his face over her hair. “It does not take much effort from you to turn me inside out and rouse my hunger for you. If there is much more of your wanton taunting, you will be flushed warm and rosy by the time we reach that altar, and our guests will not have to be Mind Demons in order to figure out why.” “I’m sorry, you’re right.” She turned her face away from his neck. Jacob resumed his ritual walk for all of thirty seconds before he stopped again. “Bella . . .” he warned dangerously. “I’m sorry! It just popped into my head!” “What am I getting myself into?” he asked aloud, sighing dramatically as he resumed his pace. “Well, in about an hour, I hope it will be me. ”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Jacquelyn Frank" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/jacquelyn-frank/damn-it-jacob-i-m-freezing-my-butt-off-i-came-as-fast-as-i-could/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/678/jacquelyn-frank-7555_body-heat_damn-it-jacob-i-m-freezing-my-butt-off-i_2032472.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/678/jacquelyn-frank-7555_body-heat_damn-it-jacob-i-m-freezing-my-butt-off-i_2032472.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/678/jacquelyn-frank-7555_body-heat_damn-it-jacob-i-m-freezing-my-butt-off-i_2032472.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“Damn it, Jacob, I’m freezing my butt off.” “I came as fast as I could, considering I thought it would be…” — Jacquelyn Frank", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 4, "item": { "@type": "Quotation", "text": "“What the hell is taking so long?” Elijah complained. “Elijah, hush,” Legna admonished. “It is their joining.

I swear if you don’t put me down this very instant I’m going to marry someone else!” Isabella’s voice carried shrilly through the night, half annoyed, half laughing. The three waiting at the altar turned in unison to see the couple break from the tree line. Jacob had indeed carried his bride out of the woods, but he’d done so by slinging her over a shoulder, leaving her backside displayed prominently. Elijah choked on a laugh and Legna released a horrified gasp. Noah reached out to stay her from moving. “Let it be, Legna. What did you expect from the two of them?” Serves you right, you little tease. Jacob, please! You’re embarrassing me! And having me walk out of the woods in a state of arousal would not have embarrassed me? I said I was sorry! Was that before or after the mental striptease you sent me?
