Excerpt:
Chapter 1
Madden
“I’m looking at them right now and they say: ‘Jane and Madden Forever’.”
“And that’s incorrect?” The woman on the other end of the phone asks in an infuriatingly calm voice.
“Yes, that is incorrect,” I snap. “I don’t know who the hell Jane is, I’m sure she’s a lovely woman, but I’m marrying a man named Th-ane. Say it with me sweetie...T.H.A.N.E.” I admit I may be bordering on hysterical, but it’s eight freaking days before my wedding and the programs say Jane and Madden. Who the fuck is Jane?
“Okay sir, I understand. I’ll get the corrected programs shipped straight to you.”
“Thank you, but our wedding is in eight days. That’s one week from tomorrow. They’ll be here in time, won’t they?”
Before I can hear her reassurances, my phone is snagged out of my hand.
“Thank you very much, we appreciate it. You have a lovely day,” Thane says in a smooth voice before hanging up my phone and putting it in his own pocket. “You need to relax, sweetheart. I hate to say it but you’ve turned into a bit of a groomzilla.”
“You don’t understand,” I say, trying not to slip into a full-on pout.
I just want to make our wedding perfect, so I can show Thane how much I love him and how deeply I appreciate his patience with me when I was struggling so hard to cope. I acted like a complete dick early on in our relationship and maybe if I can give him the most perfect wedding in the history of human civilization it will make up for it. He deserves a perfect wedding and so much more.
“What I understand is there’s no reason for this much stress. All I care about is getting to call you mine for the rest of our lives. I already told you, I’d be more than happy to tie the knot in Vegas this weekend during our bachelor party.”
I gasp in indignation, even though this isn’t news to me.
“After all this planning you’d better believe we are having a damn wedding next weekend come hell or high water.”
“Whatever makes you happy,” Thane says before pulling me in for a slow, sweet kiss.
Most days I can’t believe this incredible man wants to spend the rest of his life with me. I’ve faced down my fair share of demons in my life, and even more so in the last year and a half, and now that I’m safely on the other side of those nightmares my life doesn’t feel real, in the best possible way.
“You make me happy,” I tell him between kisses.
“I bet I can make you even happier,” Thane teases, fingers finding their way to my button fly.
As if on cue there’s a loud knock on the front door and we both groan in frustration.
“That must be Royal, Nash, and Zade. Guess this will have to wait,” I lament, stroking Thane through his jeans.
“Can’t we make them wait? If anyone would understand it’ll be those guys,” Thane argues.
I laugh and give Thane one more kiss before wiggling out of his arms and heading for the front door.
When I pull the door open I’m not surprised to find Royal and Zade rough-housing while Nash stands between them looking thoroughly harassed.
“This is going to be such a long weekend,” he complains as Zade and Royal shout ‘Vegas Baby’ in concert.
“By the way, Dani’s running late. She texted to tell me she went to the store and ran into Beau and lost track of time. She’ll meet us at the airport, though.”
“I thought she was over that crush after they finally hooked up,” I muse.
“Beau is definitely worthy of an encore. Trust me, you guys want to see him naked. So fucking hot,” Royal fans himself dramatically.
“Hey,” Nash complains.
“What can I say, I’m partial to long hair and tattoos,” Royal defends, looking Nash up and down pointedly.
“Hey,” Zade complains this time.
“Oh my god, you guys. I think you’re both sexy as hell, no one compares to either of you,” Royal amends in a put-upon tone.
“Too late to make it up to us now. To punish you Nash and I will be joining the mile high club without you,” Zade teases.
I laugh and shake my head at their antics. I’ve always been a little skeptical about how poly relationships work, but spending a few minutes with Nash, Royal, and Zade it’s easy to see that they simply fit together. I’m sure any two of them could be happy as a couple, but the three of them complete each other.
“Are you guys ready to go, or did you need a few more minutes?” Nash asks.
“We’re ready,” Thane says, appearing behind me with our suitcases.
“Let’s do this!” Royal exclaims, throwing his hands in the air and dancing around excitedly.
