I’m leaning up to steal a kiss when his phone starts ringing. I shift, sitting up, so Harry can roll over and grab his phone off the bedside table.

His eyes flit across his caller ID and his face goes serious, all playfulness slipping away. “Hey, Grammy. Is everything okay?”

HARRY

Looks like Nicky’s getting her wish after all.

I glance across the console and give Nadia’s thigh a squeeze as I pull into my grandmother’s wide gravel driveway. She smiles at me and my heart flips with excitement.

I convinced Nadia to come along with me to family dinner at Grammy's.

‘Convince’ is a pretty strong word, though. It didn’t take a lot of arm twisting to get her here. Just an extra orgasm or two. It works out great since I’d already been planning on eating my wife’s fantastic pussy anyway. I’m quickly realizing that orgasm-giving is a great persuasion tactic when it comes to this woman. She ends up sweaty and smiling, and so do I.

See? Win-win.

And while I’m anxious as hell about my brothers making a fool of me in front of Nadia, I’m over the fucking moon to immerse her into my crazy family.

Sitting pretty as a picture in the passenger seat, Nadia gnaws on her bottom lip and peers out the windshield at Grammy’s little brick cottage when I cut the engine.

“Hey, you okay?” I ask her.

There’s a timid veil over her eyes when they swing to me. “Just a little nervous. Not sure I can keep everybody’s stories straight.” Her forehead furrows. “So, Meghan is engaged to Cash, right? And they were friends all their lives before reconnecting over their teenaged marriage pact. Emma’s with Jasper, and they became insta-parents after Jasper’s ex dropped off a surprise baby.” She squints her eyes and continues to recite my family history like she crammed it for an exam. “Davis is divorced from his high school sweetheart, Alana. And your cousin, Mason, has four sisters—Corri, Ruby, Naomi and…” Drawing a blank, she looks to me for help.

“Maya,” I finish for her. I lace her fingers through mine. “Babe, relax. It’s like you think you’re gonna have to pass a pop quiz in order to get your dessert.” I chuckle and she does, too.

I love this woman so much. I always knew that this vulnerable version of her was hiding beneath that tough girl lawyer facade. I’m honored that I get to witness it. And that I get to kiss it away.

Cupping her jaw, I lean closer to her, pulling that sexy bottom lip into my mouth and nibbling. “You’re a fucking superstar. You hear me? They’re gonna love you.”

Nadia smiles looking slightly more sure of herself. “I loveyou.”

“I love you more,” I mumble.

Our lips press together in another kiss. And I quickly forget where we are, getting carried away.

I’m busy trying to wedge my tongue into her mouth when a bang on the window scares the shit out of me.

I glance over my shoulder and find Cash smirking at me while Meghan waves frantically from beside him.

“Hey butthead.” My brother’s voice carries through the window. “While you’re in there trying to put the moves on your girl, I’m about to pass out from low blood sugar. Come on. We’re ready to eat.”

I roll my eyes. What an asshole!

“That’s our cue,” I tell Nadia. I hop out of the car and open her door, helping her out. We join Cash and Meghan who are eager to say hi.

As the four of us hustle past the other cars lined up in front of the house, I realize that everyone’s here. Davis. Dad. Mason with his parents and his crazy sisters. Jasper and Emma with little Sparkle. Even Jasper’s best friend, Simon, from the mechanic shop.

When we step up on the porch, the living room curtains flutter. Even though I assured her we were coming, I think Grammy is still equal parts shocked and thrilled to see us bundled up on her doorstep on a Sunday afternoon.

She’s not the only one excited to see us. The front door swings open and Nicky almost bowls us over, tackling my new wife in a tight hug.

“Oh my god! Hi! You’re real!” My sister rocks Nadia from left to right. “Can’t lie. I always had a nagging worry that Harry would end up married to a blow-up doll.”

I yank on her ear and my sister throws a foot out, trying to kick me. I manage to pry my sister off of Nadia just long enough to usher them both through the door.

In the dining room, there are more introductions made, everyone officially meeting Nadia as my wife. She beams at my side when I sling an arm around her shoulder and press a kiss to her temple. I just love that I get to show her off.
