“My wedding has kind of become urgent too.”
“What?”
“Callum wants to move it up. To next weekend. Before he takes the cure.”
“WHAT?!”
Emma laughed.
“Emma, that isn’t enough time to plan a wedding! Fuck, we really do need to order a cake right now. Are you being serious?”
She nodded. “Just in case something bad happens when Callum takes the cure. So I’ll always get to be his wife. Even if he’s no longer here.” Tears started welling in the corners of her eyes.
“Oh, Emma.” I pulled her into a hug. “We’re not going to let anything bad happen to him.”
“He’s already convinced to take it though.” She sniffed.
“Then we’re going to make sure it’s safe. All while planning a wedding in one week. Totally doable.”I hope.
Emma pulled back and quickly wiped beneath her eyes. “I don’t know what I’d do without you.”
“Does that mean I’m your maid of honor?” I smiled.
“Oh my God, yes. I should have led with that. Zoey, will you be my maid of honor?”
“Absolutely. Let’s go order this cake. How many people are coming to the wedding?”
“We haven’t really talked about that,” Emma said.
“Well where are you going to hold the ceremony and reception?”
“Um...”
“It’s fine. We’ll figure it out.” My maid of honor duties were going to be a good distraction to my pestering thoughts. I didn’t trust Kebe. One bit. But one of my main other worries about the cure was that the guys would no longer want to share me. I just needed a little more time to show them how perfect this arrangement was. Starting with tonight.
Chapter 17
Friday
Zoey
I checked the timer for the chicken potpies I’d made. The guys would be home any minute from work, and dinner would be ready and waiting when they arrived. I’d be ready and waiting too.
The fridge was packed. The house was clean. And Emma and I had even made progress on her wedding plans. We were going to hold it in the town square at the gazebo. Everything was all booked for next Saturday night.
I’d been so busy that I hadn’t even gotten a chance to snoop in any of the locked rooms upstairs. Which was probably for the best. I’d already gotten in enough trouble for breaking and entering recently. It would be more fun to be invited into each of my boyfriends’ rooms anyway.
I tied Bennett’s dress shirt a little tighter. I’d ditched the see-through tank top underneath to show off my stomach. When the guys got home, I wanted them to want to eat me just as much as they wanted to eat their meal. And my naughty school girl outfit was perfect. All that was missing was them being here to teach me a lesson.
My boyfriends had shared girls before. But never a girlfriend. This was as new for them as it was for me. Ileaned against the kitchen island, doing my best to strike the perfect pose.
I could already imagine Ace coming up behind me and running his hands up the backs of my thighs. As Huxley bent me over the island.
My stomach actually felt a little sick as I thought about it. Not because I didn’t want it. I did. Desperately. But being so horny for so many hours was really messing with my body. I’d been looking forward to this moment all day. It was like this tension inside of me that needed to be snapped.
The buzzer dinged on the oven.Crap.I hurried over to the oven and pulled out the potpies just as the front door opened.
The guys were laughing about something.
