Elopement was the better option.

“Fifty bucks he doesn’t survive the ceremony,” Gunner whispered, coming to stand beside me with his wife Sarah, who was trying desperately not to laugh.

“I’ll take that bet and raise you a C-Note that Venom sheds blood before nightfall,” Priest clearly said, stepping closer.

“What? Are you new around here?” Gunner groaned, rolling his eyes. “Blood is on the menu. Gotta be more specific.”

“Fine,” Priest groaned. “A hundred bucks Venom kicks King’s ass before nightfall.”

Scribe, chewing on a swizzler stick, chuckled as he walked past. “I’ll take that bet, Priest.”

“Where is Cameron?” Skylar asked, looking around for her brother, who bolted the second I had him dressed in his Sunday best.

“Chained up in the broom closet, so he doesn’t get dirty,” Gunner quickly said as I looked at him.

“You’re joking, right?”

“Nope. The little shit made a beeline for the cake and pissed Beth off. Took three of us to catch the fucker. He’s good. Made sure he had his PSP and snacks. Frank has the door barricaded in case he makes like Houdini and disappears.”

“Oh my God,” Skylar groaned, stepping away from me to go rescue her brother. “You know he’s just a little boy, right?!”

“No, he’s not!” Gunner yelled at my woman’s retreating form. “He’s the Tasmanian devil sent from hell to cause death and destruction!”

“Gunner, leave Skylar alone,” Sarah chided sweetly, rubbing her enormous stomach. “Damn, I need to pee again. These babies are using my bladder as a trampoline again.”

Watching as Sarah waddled away, and yes, she waddled, I asked. “Still don’t know the sex?”

Gunner groaned. “Fuck no. And the only person who knows isn’t saying shit.”

I laughed at that.

It came as a shock to everyone that Sarah allowed her father, and only her father, to see the results.

Not even Beth knew, which pissed her mother off to no end.

“Well, that’s what you get for letting Claudia give Mike the results. Fucker will take that shit to the grave, man.”

“He ain’t even telling Beth. Just took the damn envelope, read the results, then burned the bitch right in front of me. Asshole still hates me.”

“Well, you did knock-up his baby girl and on the first try. How’s Sarah handling everything? Honestly, Cord, she looks ready to pop right now.”

“She takes everything in stride. Got about another month of this drama. Claudia wants a C-section at thirty-four weeks, but Sarah is refusing. Stubborn woman wants to give birth naturally.”

“Everyone!” Beth shouted loudly, getting everyone’s attention. “Take your places. We are about to begin.”

Slapping Cord on the shoulder, I muttered. “Let’s go get our brother married before he starts PMS-ing.”

Gunner chuckled.

Lined up under the arch that King insisted he just had to have, me and Cord took our places at Callum’s side. For a man about to marry the most vicious woman Rosewood had ever seen, he seemed rather calm. In fact, I would say he looked a bit anxious.

“She is going to show up, right?” he whispered, his eyes glued to the back door of the clubhouse.

“Depends,” Scribe chuckled. “You gave her the daily dose of orgasmic bliss, right?”

King growled, slowly turning to Bailey’s best friend and soon to be dead brother.

“Shut up, fucker, and do as you’re told.”
