Tomorrow I’m going to be walking down the aisle and marrying my soul mates.

We ended up choosing the Quartz Hotel for our venue. They have an intimate ceremony room that they hire out for weddings. It’s nice, perhaps a little too fancy for my liking with all the gold trim, but since I’ve left things so late with the pregnancy, it’s all that was available. Honestly, I’m just happy to be getting married. My plate has been overflowing for months, and I can’t wait to not have to juggle so many things all the time.

We’re staying here for the night, along with Sarah and Reginald. Sarah and I are in the bridal suite while the guys all have their own separate rooms.

It’s a bittersweet feeling knowing it’ll only be the five of us tomorrow. I have to stop myself from thinking about my mom. She broke my heart and my trust, and there’s no going back.

Max went out of his way to find out if she’s still staying here in the Quartz. Turns out she never was. I’m not sure why she lied or where she’s been staying. It’s not my job to care.

Maddox inadvertently helps me stop thinking about her by brushing a strand of hair behind my ear and pulling me from my thoughts.

We’ve just checked in and are waiting in the lobby for Sarah to get here before we part ways. Maddox has been excited all day, but now that we’re about to spend the night apart, I can tell he’s nervous.

“Are you sure you’ll be okay? You have everything you need? I’ve got the emergency bag ready to go in the car in case anything happens, and I don’t mind driving back home if you’ve forgotten anything.”

“Maddox, baby, it’s one night, and these three still need to cook for another two months. You’re both just down the hall from my room, and my phone will be on all night. So stop stressing.” I poke him in the chest, and he grabs my hand, kissing the back of it.

“I’m going to miss the fuck out of you,” he growls against my skin.

I blush. “Me too. But the strippers will keep me occupied.”

His eyebrows shoot up. “Strippers? I think the fuck not. If another man puts his junk anywhere near you, I’ll rip it—why are you laughing?”

A stitch forms in my stomach from laughing so hard, and I wheeze through it. Clutching my side, I wipe a tear away.

Max snorts out a laugh of his own, which takes me by surprise. “She’s kidding,” he reassures his brother. Then suddenly, he cups the back of my head, yanking me into his chest. Maddox moves in behind me, and I’m sandwiched between them.

Tilting my chin up, Max says, “She knows we’d never leave her needy enough to want another man anywhere near her. And if she does stray, we’ll have to teach her who she belongs to again.”

His cock twitches against my stomach and I gulp. “I’d never do that to you…” I lose track of what I’m saying as Maddox’s hand trails up my spine, his long fingers enclosing around the back of my neck.

“I can already think of so many depraved things we could do to her,” Maddox purrs in my ear, and I whimper.

Suddenly, their intense heat is gone. “Break it up! There’ll be plenty of time for that tomorrow night. In private. Not in a hotel lobby.” Sarah tugs me away from them.

Max smirks at me, dark promises of what will unfold tomorrow night swirling in his eyes. Maddox nudges his brother with his elbow and whispers something in his ear. The look they share has my heart racing.

I bite down on my lip as I imagine what secrets they’re holding onto.

“You boys are going to have to keep it in your pants for one night!” Sarah scolds, also noticing their looks.

She pulls something out of her overnight bag and puts it on my head.

“Is that a veil?” I run my fingers down the material hanging off the headband.

“Yep.” Turning to Max and Maddox, she says, “Time to say goodbye to the bride-to-be. She’s mine for the night.”

When I look up at them, I realize they’re stunned staring at the veil. Feeling embarrassed, I start to take it off, but Maddox stops me. “Don’t you dare. You look so fucking pretty. I can’t wait to see you tomorrow.”

Before Sarah can pull me away, Maddox grabs my face and kisses me hard enough to make the room spin. I can’t even take a breath before Max is doing the same.

“Have fun, sweetheart.”

“We love you, baby.”

“I love you both,” I say breathlessly, my feet dragging along the carpet as I’m led to the elevator. My guys keep their eyes on me until the doors close.

“Does it not get a bit much?” Sarah asks once we’re alone inside. “You know the constant watching and checking in?”
