“I’ve always wanted to do this.” Cassie grins, then turns her back to us, ready to toss her bouquet into the air.
While Payton does the countdown, I look across the room to where my husband is standing. He’s talking to King, and his big, tattooed hands are gently cradling Danielle, our infant daughter, to his chest.
I’ll never get tired of the sight.
He’s a wonderful father. But that’s no surprise. And as soon as I’m done breastfeeding, I’m going to have Dom give me another tattoo. It will be a different name this time, but I don’t think he’ll mind.
“One!” Payton yells, and Cassie throws her bouquet.
I stretch my arms up.
I’m already married, but those flowers are pretty, and I want them.
But before anyone catches them, a man leaps up and snags the bouquet out of the air.
Rob is grinning ear to ear as he holds them above his head. And I don’t care how much Dom complains about me saying it, Rob is hot.
“Put those down!” King shouts, stomping toward the man dating our sister.
Rob skips backward, away from King, and finds Aspen in the small crowd.
Then he drops down onto one knee in front of her.
King’s “Oh, hell no!” is drowned out by all the women gasping.
“Aspen, my love.” Rob looks up at his woman. “Will you do me the honor of telling your terrifying brother that we’re already married?”
My mouth drops open, and I whip my head over to look at Dom.
My husband is smiling at the pair, and when his gaze moves to find mine, he winks.
That bastard already knew.
King stomps over to Aspen. “Is this true?”
Aspen, not at all intimidated by his attitude, slips her hand into her dress pocket and pulls out a big, shiny ring.
“We did it last week.” She slides the ring onto her finger, then uses her left hand to pat King’s chest. “You can stop worrying about me now. I promise I’m happy.”
King heaves out a loud exhale, then pulls her into a hug.
Rob is grinning when he stands, and he holds his arms out for a hug next.
King rolls his eyes, then embraces the other man, but when he lets go, he punches Rob in the shoulder. Hard. “Don’t fuck this up.”
