That soft and sweet smile? No longer there. It’s been replaced by one devious and cunning, and I feel it throb in my core because I knowexactlywhat that smile means. “Which means I’ve got enough time to fuck you, shower with you, and fuck you again.”

“Twice?” I tease. “Someone is ambitious this morning.”

Cole rolls on top of me, letting his hard length press against my stomach. “Get used to it, Rory girl. I’m a needy man, and your pussy is the only one my cock wants to be buried inside.”

I wasn’t sure what to expect from a relationship with Cole, but I think I’m really going to like this.

When I walk into the bridal suite this morning, the girls can tell something is up.

And by walk, I mean more like waddle because of my boyfriend’s dick.

The boyfriend I’m not telling them about yet.

Oh, but they know.

I don’t miss their smirks when they think I’m not looking. But I’m just ignoring it. Cole and I agreed that we weren’t going tosay anything today. Today will be nothing but denial until we tell them officially tomorrow.

And to help keep the heat off me, I make sure we focus on Lucia instead.

“So, how’s Matt?” I ask. “Any more dates?”

Lucia leans back, her dark red silk robe matching mine and Harlow’s falling over her legs. “We went out two more nights this week,” she smiles widely.

“Ooh, exciting!” Ella exclaims. “Have you put a label on anything yet?”

“No, we haven’t. We’re kind of just seeing where this takes us.”

“I can’t ever remember seeing you this happy,” Harlow adds. “Happiness looks good on you, Luc.”

Lucia smirks at her. “And that hickey you forgot to hide looks good on you, Lo.”

Harlow’s cheeks match the shade of our robes. “I… didn’t realize that was there.”

“Weren’t you drunk last night?” I ask. “You were literally hanging on to Cole to stay upright.”

“Yes. I passed out when we got back to the room.” She blushes deeper now. “That must be from this morning.”

“Your boyfriend is always leaving marks on you,” I laugh. “Man’s possessive.”

“Yeah, he kind of is. But it’s really damn hot.”

“Love seeing my friends happy in relationships,” I say cheerily, trying again to keep them from thinking about me. “Hell, one of them is getting married today!”

“Yes, I am!” Ella cheers. “Oh my God, I love that man.”

“You should,” Lucia smiles. “Josh would burn the world down for you.”

“What every woman deserves to find,” Harlow adds, the brightest smile on her face.

And I know that’s because of Knox. Harlow and Ella both have men that would do absolutely anything for them.

It’s still too early to pass judgment on Matt.

But for me?

I know I have that.

I didn’t understand Cole’s attraction to me at first, but I eventually realized that it didn’t matter.
