“I’ll get them,” Viper said with a wayward smile.
She sat in the driver’s side seat as she changed her white heels to a pair of bright red Converse. “Okay, I’m ready for food.”
“Food?” Kelp asked as he got off his bike. “You need a drink. Preferably hard liquor. You did just legally bind yourself to Viper…”
“I don’t think I’ll be having a drink for the next nine months, give or take a few weeks.”
It took a moment for her words to penetrate, but when they did, Viper’s mouth widened in shock. “Seriously?”
She beamed up at him. “Seriously.”
He swept her into his arms and held onto her, her legs dangling like a rag doll. Viper buried his face in her hair. I was witnessing what felt like a private moment, and hastily turned away, despite the fact that Kelp and Raze were seeing it too.
I looked at Bones but I couldn’t tell what emotion was streaking across his face.
Viper finally put Sutton down and they were immediately swarmed by the Tarnished Angels.
“Why don’t you look surprised?” Bones asked me once he’d offered his congratulations and stepped back.
“Because I already knew,” I said with a smile.
Bones picked up my bag and took my hand, lacing his fingers through mine. “Yeah? How?”
“Sutton told us the night of her bachelorette party,” I explained. “And she asked us to keep it a secret until her wedding day.”
Bones led me toward the clubhouse and I glanced over my shoulder at the happy couple. Though they were surrounded by friends—friends they considered family—they kept stealing glances at each other, obviously sharing something that only they could share.
It made emotion leap into my throat.
We put my bag in Bones’ room. When I turned to leave, Bones blocked the way.
“What are you doing?” I asked with a coy smile.
“Just looking at you,” he said quietly.
“Yeah?” My hand reached for the zipper on the side of my dress.
“Leave the dress on,” he commanded.
My hand stilled.
“If I get you naked now, we’ll miss the entire party. Let’s go celebrate my brother and his woman, and then I promise to satisfy your every need later tonight.”
I flashed a grin. “Promise?”
“I promise. I’d grab a sweater. You brought a sweater, right?”
“I did. It doesn’t match though,” I remarked as I opened my bag and dug through it.
“No one cares.”
“I care.”
“You’re hot when you’re put together, Duchess, but I like it more when you’re dressed down.”
“Really?” I asked as I slid my arms into a black wool sleeve.
“Really. Come on, I’m starving.”
