I curled into him, my eyes drifting shut as his arms went around me.

“We’re ten minutes out,” Al said through the intercom. “In case you guys wanted to make yourselves presentable.”

I groaned into Duke’s neck. “He knew what we were doing back here.”

“Of course, he knew. I paid him to give us a heads up.”

“You think of everything, don’t you?”

Chapter45

The limo camethrough the clubhouse gate and parked. Al opened the passenger side door for me and to his credit, gave me no look of judgement.

Hand in hand, Duke and I walked toward the clubhouse where an old green pick-up truck was parked across the lawn. An enclosed trailer was attached to it.

“What is that?” I asked.

“That is what is getting us to our honeymoon destination,” Duke explained. “My bike is in the trailer, which we’ll take on day trips.”

“Where are we going?” I asked.

“Colorado Springs. I’m taking you to the top of Pikes Peak, Garden of the Gods, and some other cool shit. Weather’s perfect.”

“I’ve never been to Colorado.”

“I know.”

“It’s on my bucket list.”

“I know that, too.”

The front door to the clubhouse opened and Savage and Waverly came out, still dressed in their wedding attire.

“You beat us back,” I said in surprise to Savage and Waverly.

Duke looked at me and winked. “I had Al take us the long way.”

“God, that truck is so cool,” Waverly said with a sigh. “It would be a perfect vehicle to cart around furniture.”

“You like it?” Duke asked.

“I really do.” Waverly came down the steps and glided her hand across the hood.

“It’s yours,” Duke said.

Waverly’s mouth dropped open. “What?”

“It’s yours,” Duke repeated. “After we get back from our honeymoon, and you get your license, it’s yours.”

“You’re shitting me,” Waverly said.

“Will this truck even make it to Colorado?” I asked in genuine concern.

“This baby’s only got about three hundred thousand miles on her,” Savage commented. “She’s nearly broken in.”

“Can I sit in the driver’s seat and have a moment?” Waverly begged.

“Have at it,” Duke said. “Keys are in the ignition. Take her around the lot.”
