“And the White House down the road if I need to run back to work.” Jack teased and kissed his fiancé.

“Aww,” Leilani sighed. “They’re so cute.”

“What’s DAR?” Kristen asked.

“Oh, it’s the Daughters of the American Revolution,” Jack answered. “The non-profit organization was founded in the late eighteen hundreds to promote historic preservation, education, and patriotism. Today the venue is used as a movie backdrop and for events like weddings.”

“I’m too scared to drink this wine. Next minute I’ll be getting married.” Knox laughed, and Jacob found himself laughing along with him.

“Trust me. It’s fine,” Hunter said.

Addison shook her head. “Might join Tinder.”

“You will fucking not.” Hunter dropped the glass he had just drank from on the table.

Fletcher and Daniel broke out laughing.

The rest of the afternoon was spent lying in the sun on the deck of the boat, diving into the ocean, and a few of the guys zooming around on the jet skis.

“This is the life,” Leilani said as she climbed up the steps onto the boat after diving off for the third time.

“Throw me that anchor float and let me just enjoy this weightlessness,” Bella said to Blake.

“You should get out of the water,” Blake said.

Leilani shot Jacob a grin and tossed it out to her.

“Thank you, Lani.” Bella grinned. “Now push my husband back in.”

Jacob decided to be helpful. With a nudge, his brother crashed down into the cool water and then shot him the bird when he emerged.

Knox skidded to a stop in his jet ski and lifted his sunglasses. “Getting me one of these!”

“Keep it away from your sister.” Blake called out, swimming over to her.

“Why are you in the water?” Knox frowned.

“Because I am pregnant, not carrying some disease. Lani, can you please distract these men for me?”

“Okay,” Leilani grinned. “Here, give me the jet ski.” She climbed down onto the foot of the launch and waved her hand out to Knox.

“Do you know how to drive this thing?” Knox frowned at her while Jacob narrowed his eyes at them both.

“Well, no. I’ll work it out. I can drive a car,” she said.

Knox barked out a laugh. “Don’t think so, sunshine. Climb on behind me and we’ll go for a spin.”

Then. She. Fucking. Did.

Without a single glance in his damn direction.
