I was tired and wanted to curl up with my Alphas, but it was also sopretty. “Not yet. Soon.”
“Then I want you to meet someone.”
Gabe didn’t stop me from snagging another glass of champagne, but he did lean down to whisper. “That’s the last one.”
“Why?”
Fingers curled around my waist, stroking heat through the thin silk of my dress. “Because I don’t want you to have a headache in the morning that ruins all of this.”
“Fair.” I took a sip.
“Sloane, this is my brother Robert.”
I blinked up at a man who looked nothing like Gabriel. Clearly older than him, but when he smiled at me, I saw the similarities, few as they were. “Oh, it’s nice to meet you. I didn’t know you’d be here.”
“Neither did I.” He shook my hand briefly. “But I’m glad to see my brother finally settling down. Not sure he deserves you.” The smile on his face told me he was joking.
I burrowed beneath Gabriel’s arm further. “He does.”
“And I’ll keep it that way.”
The photographer approached us. “Can I get some photos of the five of you?”
“Of course!” I forgot all about that. And I wanted torememberthis. She arranged us how she wanted near where the ceremony had taken place, and I lost myself in them touching me. Them kissing me as she took pictures. My entire mind was buried in the strength of their bonds, and by the time she declared us finished, I was finished too.
Everything was gorgeous like I was in a fairy wonderland, but I wanted to be home with them. “I’m ready,” I told them.
“All right, little one,” Gabriel said. “I think they’ll want to send us off.”
They did. The party followed us through the grand salon out to the car, where Ash swept me off my feet and carried through a tunnel of sparklers Addison provided. Tears filled my eyes. I needed to send her the biggest gift ever for doing all of this.
All our friends cheered for us, but I was focused on them. I pressed my face into Asher’s shirt, inhaling warm baked cookies. “You smell so good.”
“Right back at you, sweetheart.”
“I need your suits.”
We slid into the car, and Gabe looked around from the driver’s seat. “You’ll get them, little one, as soon as we get home.”
“Okay.”
My head swirled pleasantly, absorbing the heady combination of Alpha in the car. They were mine. They weremine.
It pulsed in my mind like a heartbeat.
Mine. Mine. Mine.
I didn’t even notice the drive until Ash was carrying me inside and into the nest.Yes. The soft, warm lights and the softness of the cushions were perfect. Roman pulled off my shoes, and Jace was within reach, so I tugged on his jacket. “Off.”
“You want this?”
“I want all of it,” I said, struggling to my feet. “Help me.” Their suits I wanted in the nest. My dress I wanted to keep safe.
Gabriel unzipped me and helped me out of the dress. I didn’t bother to peel away the bodice and panties, grabbing Jace’s suit jacket and diving straight in. I placed it along the edge, tucked in between some cushions and blankets. But his vest didn’t go there. It went on the other side. Asher’s jacket was next, and it went on the inside corner.
I couldn’t describe how I knew, but I did, and they kept passing me pieces of their clothing until they were naked and there was nothing left. Looking around, my chest settled. This would do. For now.
“You finished, baby girl?”
