“Did you bring my dress?” I whisper.

She shakes her head. “You’ll fit in fine. If you weren’t tough, this life would trample you. You’ll fit right in with me, Shanna, and Luce. Romina… I’m not so sure. She’s scared the shit out of me.”

“I saw the movie.”

“You did?”

“What did you think?”

“That closet scene was hot as fuck.”

“It was. Gave me baby number three. I’m named him Romeo. Romina and I caught because we both names our baby boys the same.”

“Seriously?”

“Yep. It’s the number one baby trending baby name this year.”

“This is too much. All of them,” I giggle.

“You ladies good? We are stepping out for a bit.”

“Yep, we’re good!” Dev calls out.

“Babe?”

“I’m fine, John.” He looks worried but I shoot him a wink. Dev leads me into the bedroom.

“We only have an hour to do something with your hair and get some makeup on.”

“What’s in an hour?”

“Your wedding.” My heart pounds. “Chloe wanted to surprise you, too.” Just then the cabin door slams open.

“We’re here!” The cutest pixie teen girl with bright eyes and rosy cheeks storms in carrying a gown. My heart melts. I can understand in seconds why she melted the hardest heart on the planet in Roque. And why Johnny would kill for her.

“Oh shit.” Romina isn’t far behind. It feels weird. Like Seeing a celebrity for the first time in the flesh. I feel awkward as hell, half in awe while the other part of me is terrorized. She truly is a woman on fire with her deep red hair and emerald eyes.

“So, you’re the one.”

“Guilty.”

“You almost cost me everything.”

“Almost but didn’t.”

She points a finger at me. “If you hurt John…”

“I know, I know.” I raise my palm. “Your daughter already warned me. But I thought you two kind of hated each other?”

“He’s stubborn as fuck, annoying and has a juvenile sense of humor but he kind of grew on me.”

“He is a bit immature. But that’s just part of his charm.”

She eyes me coolly then snaps her fingers at the guards standing behind her. A man is escorted inside. His hands are tied behind his back and a hood is over his head.What the fuck?

She pulls the hood off. “JACK?!” I scream rushing forward.

“Agent Jackass to me. Figured you couldn’t get hitched without any family present. Consider him my wedding gift.”
