She gave me an impromptu hug. “Thank you doesn’t even seem like enough. Just know how much I appreciate every little detail. Without you, today would never have happened. We were all so busy, and planning the wedding on top of work was overwhelming. And with you here to help every step of the way, I was able to enjoy getting ready and can spend time with my guests and not worry about anything going wrong.”

I squeezed her tight. “I’m so happy I could help. Now get out there. Your guests are waiting for you.”

She ducked out of the tent just as the DJ announced the newlyweds into the reception area. Their first dance was cute, and Alex was twirled back and forth between Thomas and Declan. The speeches had the crowd laughing, and everyone seemed to enjoy the food, but Alex’s second dress stole the show.

“You know you can sit down for a second.” Hunter came up behind me and placed his hands on my hips.

I tilted my head to let it lie on his shoulder. “I know, but I don’t think I’ll be able to get up again if I do.”

My head bounced with the reverberation of his chuckle. I sighed and turned my face to place a kiss on his chin. There was no time to rest. I had to make another round and check to make sure everything was continuing to go off without a hitch.

I passed by Oliver and gave him a thumbs-up. He was having a blast and kicking ass behind the bar with his assistant. The signature drink was clearly a hit judging by all the green drinks everywhere. And the DJ was rocking the house while he played all the songs Alex, Declan, and Thomas had selected.

When Sawyer, one of Garrett’s friends, asked Lacey for a dance, I almost laughed out loud at the sight of Ryder glaring at Sawyer over her shoulder. He took the hint and backed away, resulting in her turning and hitting Ryder.

It was hard to stand in the background and try to be invisible when all I wanted to do was go out and have fun with my friends. Holly and Lacey had helped for most of the night, either as waitresses, ushers, or Oliver’s backup, but I finally tapped them out. It was only fair they got to enjoy some of the night too. A typical event planner had a team, and I had my team of Kyle, Matt, Hunter, Holly, and Lacey. Someday, when I had my own business, I’d be able to hire multiple teams.

“Is it me, or do weddings make you horny?” Matt whispered in my ear. I turned to see him, Hunter, and Kyle, standing together, all of them drool-worthy in their suits. Their matching grins set my panties on fire.

“Weddings? No, I think it’syouguys who make me horny.” I gave them a sassy wink.

“Damn, kitten. I may like your tight jeans a little too much, but this skirt has been fucking killing me all night. Do you know how hard it is to hide my boner in these slacks?” Hunter adjusted himself.

“I may be on the clock right now, but don’t think I won’t take that as a challenge and find more ways to make sure you’re hard in front of everyone.” I ran my finger down the front of Hunter’s shirt.

“Damn, sweets. You play dirty.” Kyle nibbled the shell of my ear. “I like it.”

“Well, we all know how much Hunter likes to play his games. And I would love to watch him squirm the rest of the night. Please, Greene. Do it for me?” Matt batted his eyelashes.

“You think you’re free if I do this? Oh, no. You all are in for it.” This right here was everything I wanted. Me with my guys, flirting and having a great time together. And tonight would only get better.

“Is that so? And how do you plan on getting all of us tonight?” Matt tilted his head.

I smoothed my hands over my ass. “You know how you love this skirt so much? No lines… all smooth.” I watched them nod. “That’s because I don’t wear panties under it.”

All three of their jaws dropped, and I slowly walked away.

I spent the rest of the night finding ways to turn my men on.My men.I chewed on my lower lip. From everything they said earlier, I was starting to believe they were truly mine. It appeared they’d figured out their hang-ups and had come together for me. However, I had to be sure they were in this before jumping back in.

“Oh. My. Gosh. Please, please, please let me use some of your story for my next book,” Lacey begged as we started the cleanup. The night had been slowly winding down, and most of the guests had already left.

I laughed. “Maybe. We can talk about it later. Let’s get this place somewhat in order before we call it quits.” The catering crew had finished packing their van and so had Oliver. I’d told everyone else to leave and return in the morning if they could.

“Nope. We called it already. Time to quit.” Matt, Hunter, and Kyle strode over to us. “Everyone, go home. Meet here in the morning.”

“It’s already morning, Matt,” Holly pointed out.

“Fine. Meet here at ten o’clock. Does that work?” Matt was fighting the smile that threatened to appear on his face, and I couldn’t help but giggle. I was overtired and ready to get off my feet.

“I mean, if they want to stay, they can, but I’m ready to take kitten home.” Hunter stepped forward and tossed me over his shoulder.

“Put me down.” I laughed and lightly beat on his back.

“Nope.” He swatted my ass and turned to leave. “Bye, everyone. Ten o’clock.”

“Now I’m definitely using that, and you have no say!” I heard Lacey holler as Hunter carried me away.
