Page 53 of Sackett
Sackett lifted his brow as he looked back at Maverick.Was that true or was his buddy just not willing to admit it if she did?
“Hey, glad to see you.”Savage’s voice called from above, making Sackett look up to find the other man leaning over the railing of the second floor.“I need to talk to the two of you.”He stepped back and hurried down the stairs, then for them.
Sackett looked at Maverick, wondering if he had any clue, but Maverick’s shrug said he was just as clueless.
“I’m reaching out to everyone.Donna and I need everyone here at the clubhouse at noon on Saturday.”
“Okay,” Sackett dragged the word out, making it several syllables.“What for?”
“We’re getting married, and we want you all there.”
Sackett blinked.How long had he known Donna?A month, six weeks max.
“Congratulations.”He wanted to say more but kept his mouth shut.
“I want to thank you again for getting the attorney out of that fucking cult’s hands.Without her we wouldn’t know if Donna was free to get married.Donna’s going to call and invite her today.”
It was clear by the way Savage grinned that he was excited.Sackett suspected there was more to this than they knew, but since his brother looked happier than he’d seen him, maybe ever, he wasn’t going to look a gift horse in the mouth.
Besides, what ground did he have to stand on?He’d known Selena for less than a week and he was thinking about upgrading the security at her house.
“I’ll be here.Want us dressed up or what?”
“Nope.This is for us and our family.Come as you are.And be prepared to unwind after.Donna’s been talking to the other girls, there will be a party after.Not sure how wild it will get with the pregnancies and babies, but it will be fun either way.”
Sackett frowned.Pregnancies?Had he missed something in the last week?Savage’s phone rang, pulling him away.Sackett turned to ask Maverick who was pregnant now, but the front door swung open drawing their attention.

Selenatuggedatthehem of the blouse she wore over jeans and looked down at her ankle boots then back up to Sackett.
“Are you sure this is okay?I’m afraid I’m underdressed.”
“I’m sure.I asked if they want us dressed up.Savage said no.He literally said come as you are.The brothers will be just like we are every day.Jeans, boots, t-shirt and kutte.If they want to go dressy, they’ll put a button-down shirt under their kutte.The women will be in a variety of things, some might wear dresses, but there will be more jeans and shorts.”He let her see he gaze skim down her body.“You will fit right in.”
She watched him a moment, trying to decide if he was being honest or just telling her what he thought she wanted to hear.
“Know what the best part will be?”His voice kept her brain from spinning out of control with what ifs.
“What?”Selena pushed her worries aside and focused on whatever Sackett was about to tell her.
“That you’ll be on my arm.”He hooked an arm around her waist and tugged her against him.She stood staring up at his face for a moment then stretched up on her toes to place a brief kiss against his lips.
She couldn’t believe the changes in her life in the last few weeks.It was hard to believe that less than a month ago the man holding on to her had walked into her office for the first time.Thankfully, he’d only been escorting Donna, and hadn’t been a client himself.If he had, then she would be in one hell of an ethical quandary.As it was, she hadn’t even had to go to court or file paperwork on Donna’s behalf, even though she’d had it prepared.For that she was glad, because if things had turned out differently, they wouldn’t be here today.
Savage and Donna would be waiting for hearings and a divorce decree instead of celebrating their love.And having seen the two of them together, Selena had no doubt they loved each other.It was as plain as day to anyone who saw the two of them together.
Did she look at Sackett the same way Donna watched Savage?
She wasn’t sure.She didn’t think she loved him, not yet, or at least she wasn’t so lost in love as the other couple.
“What are you thinking about so hard?”
“Savage and Donna.”It wasn’t a lie, it just wasn’t the entire truth.“When are we leaving?”
They’d gotten dressed at her place.Over the last week, more and more of his clothes had made their way over to her place, and she was good with it.She loved knowing that he would be there when she woke up, even if he wasn’t home yet when she went to bed.She hadn’t yet asked him to move in, but she didn’t want him to go back to his place.
“Any time you’re ready.They told us to be there by noon, but no one will complain if we show up early.”
