“Yes, now, and every day up until the wedding.” She ran her hands down her sides. “It’s tight. Sheer in some places. It shows every part of me and—ugh. I need to up the miles. Big-time.”

“You need to do no such thing.” I lifted her off my lap and set her in the corner of the couch, moving on top of her. “Your body drives me fucking wild. You know that.” I moved in between her legs and kissed her before resting my chin on her chest. “The guys are meeting up for lunch today. I was hoping you’d come.”

Her lips spread over her teeth, her nose scrunching. “Would you hate me if I didn’t go?”

“You know I wouldn’t hate you for that.”

She combed my beard with her nails. “Go have a good time with them. I’m going for a long, long walk. We’ll probably be back around the same time, and then we can plan something fun for dinner. Deal?”

I nodded. “Yeah, that works.”

She gave me one more quick kiss and wiggled out from underneath me, hurrying into the guest room, where I assumed she was going to change her clothes. Even though she was spending every night in my room, she hadn’t moved any of her things into my closet and I didn’t push her to.

Things were working just the way they were.

As I moved into a sitting position, I found the last few demos I hadn’t listened to and played them through the speaker of my phone. Once I finished, I attached my three favorites to a text and sent them over to Jovana.

Her phone dinged just as she walked into the kitchen. She glanced at her screen and said, “Looks like someone was busy while I was gone. So, these are your faves?”

I was no longer listening.

All I could focus on was her outfit, the workout clothes that clung to her body and the baseball hat she wore on her head and the long braid of hair that rested over her tit.

My dick started to fucking throb in my sweatpants.

“You’re sure you have to go for a walk? I can cancel lunch and spend the rest of the day with my face between your legs.”

Fucking Holden.

Regardless, it wouldn’t be out of the norm to spend today that way, considering I’d spent lots of days doing just that.

Jovana grabbed a water from the fridge, her profile showing me she was still smiling. “I’m sure.” And as she walked over to me, eye-fucking me the entire way, she continued, “But I’ll be back soon and so will you and you’re more than welcome to do that all evening if you’d like.”

“I plan to.”

“Mmm. I can’t wait.” She stopped in front of me. “See you in a little while.”

I reached around and held her ass. “Yes, you will.”

She leaned down and kissed me, and after she wiped off the ChapStick that she’d left on my lips, she headed for the door. Once I heard the lock click, I pulled up the group chat I had going with the fellas and typed a reply.

Me: Text me where and when. I can leave here in 20.

As soon as the message sent, I went into my room and changed my clothes, then headed for the en suite, where I gelled up my hair and brushed my beard and sprayed on some cologne. When I was walking out of my wing, a few texts came through, causing me to take out my phone. The first was from Holden, giving me the name of the restaurant they’d chosen. The second was from the front desk in the lobby of my building.

Front desk: Mr. Tanner, I’ve left your mail and packages by the front door.

A perk of living here that I fucking loved.

I opened the front door, and sitting in a small box on the floor were a package and about ten envelopes. I grabbed it all and set it on the kitchen counter, shuffling through the mail to see whether there was anything worth looking at.

A square envelope caught my attention. It was cream, made of semi-shiny paper with my name and Jovana’s, along with our address, written in calligraphy.

When I turned it around and saw the return address, I knew what I was holding.

It was our wedding invitation.

Jade had the invitation company send us one so we could see the finished product.
