I sit up and sigh. “Cruz, we haven’t even had the wedding yet, and it’s been wonderful. This place is spectacular. Raven and Declan thought of everything for a small but intimate affair. The first night, we had a Girl’s Night that was quickly ambushed by the guys, but it was okay. Yesterday, Raven and Jenna included me in spa day and I was spoiled.”
“They really seem like nice people, Ember.”
“You have no idea. But nothing compares to last night. The entire rehearsal was crazy. It was a night filled with humor and tears. At the actual rehearsal, someone locked Declan in the bathroom, and the wedding planner insisted the rehearsal go on without him, not knowing where he was. Nate, Declan’s band mate that I told you about who they’ve always teased about his love obsession with Raven, was at the end of the aisle to accept her hand. Declan came rushing out, screaming loudly. He looked murderous. No one would admit to locking him in the restroom, even his dad looked suspicious. It was priceless.”
We both laugh as I explain more. Robbie gives me a soft look when he hands me my coffee and goes back to the shower.
“And then last night was the most incredible dinner I’ve ever been a part of. The speeches were heartfelt and emotional. I also got to meet the legendary Max Roberts, and he is beyond charming, exactly like Robbie and Finn. Those three are cut from the same cloth.”
“I’m so glad you went. How is Robbie handling the bedroom situation?”
“Oh my God! The look on his face when I picked this room was hilarious. He was resourceful, though, pulling the beds together.”
“Man, he has it bad.”
“I do, too. That’s why I agreed to move to the larger room tonight and give the guys on the sofa a bed.”
“I would say that’s kind, but there are definitely different motives there.”
“Maybe there are,” I practically sing into the phone.
Cruz has known since the first night that Robbie and I had sex. He could tell by my ‘glow’. Alex shook his head, but Cruz seemed to want to give me a crown. Of course, it helped that he adores Robbie.
We talk for a few more minutes, until Robbie comes in with only a towel wrapped around him and droplets of water clinging to his chest. “Cruz, I need to go.”
“Wait —”
“Robbie walked into our room wearing only a towel. Do you understand why I need to go?”
“Yep, talk later. Love you!” He hangs up.
I stare unashamed at Robbie as he slips on a clean pair of running shorts and a T-shirt.
“Get moving, Ember, and get your stuff packed. I’m hanging by a thread, trying not to attack you in that bed.”
The sounds of female voices cause me to jump into gear and throw on some clothes.
When I get out of the shower, I run through my routine quickly. I’m surprised to find that Robbie has already moved us and is making up the bed with new sheets.
“Don’t even want to know what happened on the old sheets.” I giggle and hurry to fix my hair and makeup. When I join the guys upstairs, my jaw almost hits the ground. Finn and Robbie are already in their formalwear with Gabe, Max, and Tripp drinking a beer. They all look unbelievably hot.
Robbie’s eyes rake up and down my body before capturing my own. He stands up as whistles fill the room. Not caring that we have an audience, his hands grab my ass, and he takes my mouth in a searing kiss that should only be shared in private. A sizzle travels through my veins as I momentarily forget where we are.
“You look stunning. Absolutely breathtaking.” He pulls back and looks down at my dress again. “The sketch didn’t do it justice.”
“Thanks,” I rasp.
“If I were Robbie, I wouldn’t let you out of my sight,” Tripp tells me, winking.
“Shut up, Tripp, and keep your eyes to yourself,” Robbie snarls.
“Hard to, when that sexy thing walks into the room.”
“Watch it.” Robbie slices his eyes to his friend.
“Thank you, Tripp. I need to go next door and help the band with their tuxes. Then I’m meeting the girls.”
I lift up to give Robbie a quick kiss goodbye, but he grabs my hand and gives a chin jerk to the others, leading me away.
