his wavy , jet-black hair was cut short , and his dark eyes took in all that ankle was saying . and while she may have been in a church about to stand up as a godmother , she could n't help the ni**les tightening and panties moistening reaction of seeing him . he was all the way across the room , but he had the same effect as if he were standing by her side , rubbing against her . `` see what i mean ? '' casey questioned . megan licked her lips . `` oh my , '' she finally managed . `` sure you do n't want to give him a chance ? '' fighting the urge to fan herself , megan quickly replied , `` i 'd like to give him many , many chances . '' chances at ripping off my clothes , chances at kissing and licking me all over my body , chances at allowing his hands , fingers , and the promising bulge in his pants to stroke me until i orgasm ... yep , many , many chances . as if she could read megan 's mind , casey laughed . `` oh girl , this has trouble written all over it . '' chapter three pesh paced nervously around the back of the cathedral . the fact he was in a catholic church was n't the only reason he felt out of his element . as he eyed the massive statue of jesus , he fidgeted absently with his tie . although emma had sworn aidan was fine with the idea of him as godfather , he was still a little apprehensive about seeing aidan again . the last time they 'd been together , pesh was the hero flying aidan from north carolina to atlanta just in time for noah 's unexpected birth . but that was six months ago . the euphoria of the moment now had time to fade , and to aidan , pesh could still be the man who almost stole emma away . a side door opened , and aidan stepped out . he immediately met pesh 's anxious gaze . when his lips curved into a wide smile , pesh exhaled the nervous breath he 'd been holding . `` well , there you are , '' aidan said , as he strode up . he bypassed throwing out his hand , and instead , he pulled pesh to him for a bear hug . `` emma was worried about you . '' `` she was ? '' `` yeah , she asked me to come out and see if i could find you . '' i was n't sure where to go , and no one was out here . '' `` do n't worry about it . '' aidan pulled away . `` so how the hell are you ? '' pesh could n't help laughing at aidan 's choice of words , especially in a church . `` i 'm good , thank you . '' he cocked his head at aidan . `` and what about you ? is fatherhood agreeing with you ? '' a beaming smile lit aidan 's face . `` i 'm absolutely fantastic . i never could have imagined that being a father would be this ... amazing . '' pesh nodded . `` i want you to know what an honor it is for me to be noah 's godfather . '' `` we 're glad to have you . '' aidan patted pesh 's back . `` and i do mean that . '' `` i hope you do . i have had my concerns ... '' aidan shook his head . `` well , do n't . i 'll admit i was n't too thrilled with the prospect at first , but em was able to make me see the light . you were there for us when we really needed you . i mean , besides my wedding day , i would 've missed the most important days of my life-my son 's birth . i can never thank you enough . so when it comes down to it , i do n't think i could ask for a better godfather for my son . '' aidan 's words touched pesh . `` thank you . that means a lot . you have my word that i will always do what is right by noah . '' after giving him a hearty thump on the shoulder , aidan said , `` come on back with me . i want to introduce you to everyone . '' `` do they ... '' pesh was n't sure how to ask if aidan 's family knew the story of how he and emma truly knew each other . aidan chuckled . `` let 's just say that pop 's the only one who knows the truth . the others just think you met us when pop had his heart attack . '' pesh could n't help the relieved breath that whooshed out of him . it would have been a nightmare to have most of aidan 's family hating him for trying to steal emma away . `` i see . '' he followed aidan back into a large room filled with chattering people . as he craned his neck , he saw emma in the corner with noah in her arms .
