I sat down, the stupid smile I’d been walking around with for days still planted on my face.
“He’s lost his mind.He’s gone mad.Look at him.”Seb pointed.
“Give him time to explain.”Drew watched me while Mason and Dereck looked confused.
Damon was unavailable, so we’d have to catch him up another day.
I lifted my wine and swirled it around in the glass.“So...wait...who killed someone?”
“What?”they all asked simultaneously, looking confused.
“Never mind.Drew offered to bury a body, and I figured it wasn’t the first time.”
“What is happening right now?”Mason asks, looking between me and Drew.
“I thought he’d committed a crime, so I asked him if I needed to change my shoes to bury a body.”
Everyone laughs...almost everyone.
“You knew?!”Sebastian exclaims.“And for the record, we’re not killing a pregnant woman or her ex-husband...or anyone.”
“Never say never.”Colt shoots me a grin.
“Much as I love this banter and letting Sebastian plan how he’s going to break us out of jail—”
“I wouldn’t—”
“You would.Anyway, I’m in love with Courtney.”
“Called it.”Dereck nods, looking proud of himself.
“When?”I frown, because no, he didn’t.
“Fine, I had an inkling.”
“Weallhad an inkling, Jesus.”Sebastian rubs his face, still not understanding.
“Not all of us.”Mason glances at Colt, who bunches his mouth.“You did, too?”
“He offered me one hundred and twenty million for my club.I figured some woman was fucking with his brain.”
My two friend's nod knowingly at one another.
“Okay, okay.I get the whole falling in love thing now.”I got everyone’s attention again.“I’ll admit, I thought you were all insane, and let’s face it, you were.Are.”
“Fair,” Drew chuckles.
“Now, I’m obviously, thank you Sebastian, in a pickle.I can’t publicly be seen to be in a relationship with Courtney right now for both our sakes.Mine more than hers,” I shared.“But I need her to know that I’m serious about marrying her.”
“Christ,” Seb curses.
“What?She’s having my child.I want my ring on her finger and a wedding planned so Courtney knows we’re a family.That’s important to her.”
Mason nodded at me.
Dereck ran a hand over his face.
“What?”I ask him.
