Sighing, I open the front door and walk inside, but pause in shock.

Brothers all stand around in dress shirts, dark jeans, and cuts, the old ladies all dressed up, my sister grinning from ear to ear from where she’s standing in the middle of the ring, wearing a champagne skater dress, holding a bouquet of daises and roses, her eyes firmly on me.

I blink when I see a reverend standing next to Piston, and then my eyes land on Ollie’s form next to him. Like the brothers, he is dressed up, but with a white dress shirt instead of black.

Cassidy’s tears fall as she nudges Ollie and nods my way, and he turns, his smile wide as we lock eyes, all while I stand frozen in shock.

“Did you really think I’d give you time to change your mind, Tinker?” Ollie says, catching everyone’s attention. My vision blurs with tears as I realize what he means.

He wants to marry me today….

This man.

Tears fall, and I quickly wipe them away as a heavily pregnant Nat walks my way wearing a dress like Cassidy’s, but hers is lilac. She’s holding a white dress and a bouquet of daisies and peonies.

“I can’t believe he did this,” I choke out once she’s close, feeling everyone’s eyes on me.

“Hey, at least you get to wear a nice dress and get married with your friends and family present,” Natalie says with a smile, mischief in her eyes.

“Fuck’s sake, I’m never going to live that down, am I?” Piston growls from the ring, and I bite my bottom lip; Natalie is doing exactly what I need to get my emotions under control because, yes, I’m about to bawl. Piston continues to moan, “Seriously, what does she want, another wedding, because I’ll fucking do it!”

My laughter escapes as Natalie winks at me and passes me the white floor-length gown, the silk feeling amazing in my hands.

It has thick straps and is simple, which is me all over.

“I love messing with him,” Natalie admits.

I raise a brow and ask, “So you don’t want another wedding, then?”

She scoffs, “God, no. I’ve just spent a week planning this with Cass. I won’t tell you the many accidents I’ve had, including accidentally bumping into Brandy, causing her to fall on the cake that had just been delivered. I swear, not only did I thank the bikers for not making me do a big shindig, but your sister swore if she ever gets married, it’ll be at courthouse.”

I chuckle when Steal passes, murmuring, “No, she fucking won’t be; it’ll be on Hampton Beach.”

That man is not going to give up, that’s for sure.

“Hey, Tinker!” I hear shouted, and we both look toward the ring. Ollie holds his arms out at his sides, and calls out, “You ready to marry me and make more happy memories in this place?”

My smile is so wide despite the tears, and I nod, making him grin back at me while the brothers all cheer.

Cassidy covers her mouth as she cries with happiness for me, and Piston puts his arm around her before kissing her head, comforting her while ignoring the daggers Steal is giving him from just out of the ring.

I tilt my head to the office, and she nods, kissing Piston’s cheek, then Ollie’s, before Steal lifts the rope and holds his hand out to her. I see her tense but take his hand, and Natalie grips mine while we watch Cass allow him to help her down the steps, his eyes firmly on her.

“Go on, Steal,” I encourage quietly, “you can do it.”

Natalie squeezes my hand in agreement, murmuring, “I swear if he doesn’t kiss her, I’ll ‘accidentally’ knock over his bike next.”

I grin as the man does it—as soon as Cass tries to pull away, he grips her hand and yanks her into his body, his mouth slamming down on hers and, of course, my sister melts.

I lock eyes with Ollie and do a silent happy dance with Nat, making him laugh, before we see Steal break the kiss, and whisper something to her, before kissing her head and climbing the steps to the ring.

Cass blinks in shock, and I chuckle as I pull Natalie with me, and say, “Come on, Cass,” shaking her out of her shock.

She shakes her head and walks forward, blinking. The brothers all snicker while Steal looks positively smug.

Damn, biker men….

I hold Natalie’s hand, guiding her to the office while Cassidy follows.
