“You’ve got a cabin, right?” Roman asks.
“Yeah, it’s on a mountainside,” I chime in. “The pictures show it has an indoor pool and a hot tub. It’s huge, way bigger than what we need for two people.”
Roman shrugs. “It’s your honeymoon. It’s supposed to be over the top and something you’ll always remember.”
“See,” Legend says, his lips next to my ear. He kisses my cheek, and I melt into him.
“We did the same thing, only in Georgia. Not that it mattered where we were. We didn’t leave the house all that much.”
“I’ll pretend I didn’t hear that,” Forrest says, joining us. Lachlan and Maddox follow behind him.
We’re in a little huddle, our crew. We’ve all been together for so long that it’s nice to know that we’ll always be in each other’s corner. I try not to think about how the dynamic will change once this year is up. I’m hopeful that it won’t. It might take some time to get things back to an even flow like they are now. I’ll be forever grateful that Emerson chose me to be her best friend and, in turn, brought these amazing men into my life.
“So, who’s next?” Emerson asks.
“What are you talking about, baby girl?” Roman asks.
“To get married. Which of you are next?” she asks Maddox, her brother, and Lachlan.
“Em, you know this is… not real,” I whisper to her.
She shrugs. “I’m predicting it's you, big brother,” she teases, completely ignoring my response.
Forrest nods. “I’d be down for finding myself a leading lady.”
“Leading lady?” Maddox roars with laughter. “Fuck, man, you make us sound like we’re seventy.”
“I mean, y’all are old-timers,” I joke.
“Hey, now.” Legend nips at my neck, causing me to squirm in his arms. Not just from the bite but from the heat that courses through my body at the feel of his lips against my skin.
“It’s okay, husband. I know the truth hurts.” I pat his arm, which is locked tightly around my waist.
He moves his hands to my hips and holds me close. His hard length presses against my ass. I bite down on the inside of my cheek to keep from telling everyone to get the hell out so we can be alone.
“Does this feel like I’m an old man to you?” His words are whispered just for me.
“I might need more proof.” I turn in his arms. I’m aware that our friends are standing close and that there’s a strong possibility they can hear what we’re saying, but in this moment, I don’t care.
“You let me know when you’re ready, wife, and I’ll give you all the proof you need.” His words are sealed with a quick, firm press of his lips against mine. The guys all hoot and holler. I bury my face in his chest, trying to get my breathing under control.
I’m in so much trouble.
I want to have sex with my husband.
CHAPTER
THIRTEEN
Legend
“Today was a good day,” I say, reaching over to take my wife’s hand. I can’t seem to stop touching her. All day, I’ve cuddled her or kissed her, and now that we’re headed home from our wedding reception, I know I have to reel it in, but I can’t.
The only not-so-pleasant part of the day—and to be honest, I’m just neutral about it—is the fact that my grandparents’ attorney was in attendance. Monroe and I said hello and thanked him for coming, but we otherwise ignored him. I’m not even sure when he left. He was here; he saw the proof with his own eyes that I’m married. I don’t have to be friends with the guy.
“It was perfect.”
Her wistful tone makes me smile.
