I must have been in the bathroom longer than I thought because when I walked out, the lights were out, and the room was illuminated only by the TV.

“Uh, Dove?” Aero called.

I dropped my bag by the door and turned, surprised to see Sloane wrapped around Aero in my bed. “Um, okay?”

“She sprung on him like a rabid monkey and dragged him into bed,” Throttle laughed. “He was lying down before either of us knew what the hell was going on.”

“He’s my biker,” Sloane muttered sleepily. “Just sleep with Throttle, Dovey.”

“Dovey?” Throttle chuckled. He was lying on the other bed with his back against the headboard.

“She only calls me that when she wants something from me,” I muttered.

“Look, I can try to move, but I’m pretty sure she’s not letting me go.”

I waved my hand at Aero and shuffled over to the other bed. “It’s fine.” It wasn’t like Throttle and I were in our own bed, locked up alone.

We were both grown adults who could sleep in the same bed without it meaning anything. I grabbed the covers and slipped into bed.

Yes, Throttle was right next to me, but this was fine.

Everything was fine.

“Good night, Dovey,” Sloane called.

I pulled the covers up to my chin and focused on the TV. “Goodnight.”

“I’m getting married tomorrow,” she sighed.

Aero chuckled. “Yeah, we are.”

I sighed and finally relaxed. Sloane and Aero are getting married tomorrow. Who cared if I was in bed with Throttle?

My best friend was going to marry the man of her dreams, and I got to be there.

Throttle slid further into the bed, and his leg brushed against mine.

“Sorry, doll,” he muttered.

“You’re fine,” I whispered. I glanced over at him from the corner of my eye, and my heart raced.

He was shirtless.

Sweet Jesus.

God was punishing me.

My eyes darted back to the TV, and I tried not to think of the shirtless, handsome Throttle six inches away from me.

Sleep did not come easy, even though I was exhausted.

Three and a half episodes ofThe Fresh Prince of Bel-AirI finally fell asleep.

My dreams were filled with Sloane running around in a wedding dress with Aero chasing behind her and a shirtless Throttle lying in wait for me while I tried to keep up with Sloane.

Even in my sleep, I couldn’t get away from Throttle. Right before I woke up, he finally caught me and showed meexactlywhat his shirtless chest looked like up close.
