"Wes tell you?" I ask.
He nods. "Em was first. It's all over social media."
"So I hear." I'm not really a social media person. My feeds are all tattoos, all the time.
"Wes was next. Then Dean. And Chloe. She's rooting for you the most of anyone." He laughs. "Not that she'll admit it."
Emma joins us. Passes out the plastic cups. Throws her arms around me. "Congratulations." She squeezes hard. "You and Juliette belong together." Her hand goes to her chest. Her lips part with a sigh. "Tell me it's perfect."
"Is anything?" I unscrew the cap. Fill her glass with sparkling cider.
Her lips curl into a frown. "God dammit, Griffin. If you give me some bullshit about how you need to sow your wild oats." She cringes. "You're better than that."
"Am I?" I fill Hunter's glass with cider.
"You better be." Emma's expression gets fiery. "Or I'll kick your ass."
"I'll kick it first," Hunter says. "Though, if Chloe gets to you… there won't be any ass left to kick."
I chuckle. Chloe is a badass, the aikido equivalent of a blackbelt. If she wants this enough to hurt me—
It's comforting. Sweet. My friends want me and Jules together so badly they're threatening my life. "If I lose her, I deserve that."
Emma nodsgood.
Hunter takes the bottle. Fills my cup. "Baby, it's none of our business."
"When has Griffin ever minded his own business?" she asks.
He nodstrue. "Is there any bullshit about you needing to fuck the rest of Los Angeles?"
"If there are any available women left." She sticks her tongue outcome on.
Hunter laughs and wraps his arm around her.
She rests her head on his shoulder. It's cute. In her wedges, Em is taller than Hunter.
Neither of them mind.
There's something about being eye to eye with the woman you love—
Not that I—
Fuck, I still can't think that word.
Not the best way to start my married life. But she has to know what a mindfuck it is.
It's not like she's said it.
I do. I feel that way about her. I have for a long time.
But after the way my dad threwI love youaround like a weapon—
My stomach twists.
"You all right?" The teasing drops from Hunter's expression.
I nodyeah. "You two taking bets on when it ends?"
