With a sigh, I decide to put him out of his misery.
 
 Better hope Gram doesn’t hear you swearing to God. You know that’s her line.
 
 I don’t fucking care right now!!
 
 DID YOU KNOCK HER UP?!?!
 
 Not yet. Unless she’s not taking her pills. Then maybe.
 
 I HATE YOU!!
 
 No, you don’t.
 
 Also, why would you?!
 
 I’M GOING TO KILL YOU MYSELF!
 
 I’d like to see you try!
 
 Why’s this got your balls in a knot?
 
 Did you hit your fucking head?
 
 STOP FUCKING JOKING!
 
 HARPER’S GONNA MURDER ME IF YOU FORCE ALLIE TO MARRY YOU!
 
 I grin down at my phone.
 
 And there it is! The sole reason Ford’s pissed! If his wife wouldn’t castrate him because I was forcing Allie to marry me, he’d be on board with the plan.
 
 I shake my head. Ford’s threats don’t scare me.
 
 Allie is thebestdecision I’ve ever made.
 
 When we get to Vegas, I’m marrying her.
 
 Even if I have to get her drunk first.

 ALLISON
 
 Ishould’ve trusted my instincts and leapt from Wanda before we pulled into the hotel parking lot.
 
 Instead, I stayed in my seat like a damn fool.
 
 Now I’m standing in yet another hotel lobby with Connor, who just pinched my ass, told the clerk we needed a single suite, and kissed me breathless before I could object.
 
 “Come on, baby. You’re my fiancée now,” he murmurs with that smug smile. “Time to go to our suite.”
 
 I don’t even fight him.
 
 That horrifying realization sends me straight into a spiral.

 Connor lounges shirtlessagainst the headboard, looking like he owns the world.
