“Have you managed to sort anything out?” Christian asks, holding the chair out for me. I nod as I sit and allow myself to breathe for a moment to calm my racing heart.

“Jazzy, if it's not possible, it's okay. We can come up with something else,” Jason says softly, placing a hand on my knee as he sits on the coffee table in front of me.

“It’s more than possible,” I answer, smiling. “The three of us haven’t stopped since you left, and I just need a second to breathe,” I laugh, closing my eyes and leaning back in the chair so my head rests against Christian's stomach. I feel his hands start rubbing my shoulders and open my eyes to find him looking down at me as his hands work their magic on my tight muscles.

“Take all the time you need, Sweetheart. We aren’t going anywhere.”

“You better not; Terry may track you down himself and kick your arse after this,” I joke, glad to see the first signs of a smile on his gorgeous face. I wink at him before looking forward to the others as his hands tighten on my shoulders playfully. When I finally pay attention to the others, I can see they have relaxed a little and even have slight smiles on their faces.

“So what's the plan, Princess?” Sean asks, sitting back in his chair.

“There's a lot to go through and not much time as the girls have started to arrive, so this will be quick.”

“Christians used to hearing you say things are quick,” Maximus winks as Sean and Jason roar, laughing.

“Fuck you, prick face,” Christian yells behind me as I cover my face and try not to laugh out loud. “You can pack it in as well, Sweetheart,” Christian warns, tickling me so I jump from the seat and sit between Maximus and Sean for protection.

“Pay attention, I don’t have much time!” I point out again, spinning my attention to Maximus and holding up a finger to stop him as he opens his mouth to no doubt insult his brother again. “Stop it.” He makes a show of rolling his eyes and shutting his mouth. “Thank you,” I sigh, rolling my eyes whilst trying not to smirk.

“Okay, so the main thing is that the registrar will be here Sunday at one PM. They understand the situation and aren’t putting it on their work calendars or contacting anyone via their system. Nothing will go on until twenty-four hours later when we will already be out of the country.” I glance around at the guys and see they are all paying attention.

“The main details you need to know is that the only security team members who will be in the know are Terry and Layton. Everyone else will be told that we are devastated about cancelling the wedding and will be going away Saturday morning to get away for a while. They are also being fed false details on where we are flying from and where we are going. The hope is thatifany of them are giving away our secrets, someone will try something on Friday night to prevent us from leaving, and we will be ready for it, deal with everything and are still okay to go ahead with Sunday’s plans.” I look to Jason before continuing. “That does include Gordon, but we agreed that if you want him there, we will sort it so he is kept in the loop.”

“Don’t worry about him, Jazzy. Yes, he is a friend, but he was invited because I felt I had to. My relationship with him isn’t like it was with Calvin. So, if he has a problem with being kept out of the loop, I will deal with him when we return from the honeymoon.” He offers me a smile, and I relax before turning to Sean, who is already smiling at me.

“Same goes for me, Princess. If Mykela doesn’t like it, I will deal with her when we return.”

“Thank you,” I smile at each of them before taking a deep breath and carrying on.

“As you can imagine, keeping it quiet while the girls and I sort everything will be hard, so the cameras have been turned off,” I explain. “Security has been told that we have shut it off for now. They will be told that we require our privacy at the moment. Terry and Layton will still be able to access them, though.”

“Makes sense,” Christian nods, looking slightly impressed.

“Just to be clear, this includes all cameras, not just on the top floor where the girls will be staying, but the whole house,” I continue. “They are all off when security is on site. We don’t want to risk people seeing things they shouldn’t and getting suspicious.”

“Jazzy, that’s a lot of areas without coverage. What if something happens when the cameras are off?” Jason asks. But I just smirk at him.

“This is why Terry is going to be moving into my room until we leave for our honeymoon,” I announce proudly. “That way, we are protected from the inside and out.”

“Who will be guarding outside?” Christian asks. But again, I have it covered.

“Calvin and Drew are on their way around. He already has the low down, and they will pick eight people they trust from their team. The eight will make two teams, and they will be doing twelve-hour shifts. These people will not be inside; they will keep the outside covered. Basically, everyone will think we are on lockdown until further notice and on skeleton staff.”

The guys all stare at me for a moment, obviously shocked that we have organised so much in less than an hour.

“Terry’s on the ball; I’ll give him that,” Jason laughs as I lean forward and slap his leg.

“Hey, most of this was me! He’s just helping me put the plans into place!” I yell, slapping his leg again for emphasis.

“Seriously?” I hear more than one voice say in unison.

“Yes, seriously! When will you learn? I’m the brains of this family!” I protest, sitting back, folding my arms over my chest as I stick my bottom lip out.

“You're right, Sweetheart. You really are the brains of this family most of the time,” Christian smiles at me.

“Better,” I sigh, trying not to smile. Sean nudges me with his shoulder and winks, knowing it gets me every time. Git.

“So, is there anything else we need to be made aware of?” Christian asks.
