“He’s feeling a lot better, thanks. Thankfully, it was nothing serious.”

“That’s good.”

“Our numbers are growing,” Ella said. “This is a good thing. Soon we’ll outnumber the bunnies.”

“Kitten, you’ll never outnumber the bunnies,” Connor scoffed. “Two disappear, and another four pop up.”

“There’s plenty of guys left to go around,” Noah said, earning himself an elbow to the ribs from Rory. “Come on, shortcake, I didn’t mean—”

“Quit while you’re ahead, bro.” Connor smirked.

“What are you doing this weekend, Harper? We’re trying to talk Rory into girls’ night. While the guys are away, the girls will play.”

“Are you trying to give me a heart attack?” Noah rubbed his temples.

“Relax, we won’t do anything too crazy.” Ella grinned. “It’ll be fun. Please come, and then Rory will come.”

“I’m up for girls’ night,” I said.

“Yay.” Ella clapped. “I’ve invited Jordan and Noelle too. I’m thinking drinks and dancing. Maybe a strip cl—”

“Okay, kitten. Enough of that.” Connor slapped his hand over her mouth. “Noah and Mason are new to this game. You can’t be planting those kinds of seeds of doubt before a big weekend of games.”

“Pretty sure she’s joking,” Rory said.

“Don’t be so sure, Rory, baby. I’ve seen how wet my girl gets when she watches Magic Mike.”

“Connor Morgan!” Ella ripped his hand away. “You did not just say that in front of all our friends.”

He shrugged. “We don’t keep secrets.”

“That’s… I… ugh. You’re such an asshole at times.”

“But I’m your asshole, kitten. And you wouldn’t have me any other way.” He nuzzled her neck, and she melted against him.

“Please don’t maul Ella at the table,” Rory said.

“Jealous, shortcake? Because that can—”

“Don’t you dare.” She held up a hand to Noah.

“If we ever end up like them,” I whispered to Mason, “we need to check ourselves.”

“So you don’t want to sneak to the restrooms and—”

“Mason!” I shrieked, but he was already grinning.

“I’m joking. Unless you want to—”

“Do not finish that sentence.”

He pulled me back into his side, dropping his mouth to my ear. “I’m really glad you’re here, Harper.”

I turned to look at him, instantly falling into the possessiveness in his eyes.

“Me too.”
