Page 62 of No Fear
The curvy redhead in white, holding her slightly swollen belly but swaying and laughing as she yelled something over the music to her friends. The tall, willowy blonde in a little black dress that left nothing but tan skin and tattoos on display swaying her ass in a provocative way clearly intended to get her in trouble from the way she bit her lip and looked over her shoulder at his brother. And right in the middle of them, the center of attention, as bold and outgoing as he’d ever seen her, his pretty little brunette bopping her head and dancing right along with her best friends as they happily sang loudly to the music.
“Yeah, they do.”
“It’s because they’re ours.” Cash gave a sigh that could be considered nothing but contentment, “I’m glad they’re all friends.”
“Family.” Colt shook his head, “They’re all family, our family.”
Remy swallowed hard, “Yeah.”
“You gonna make an honest woman out of Sky?” Cash grinned at his twin and Colt flipped him off.
“Better question is when she’s gonna make an honest man out of me.”
“Touché.” Cash nudged his shoulder into his older brother, “What about you? How are things going with Rachel? You two seem…”
“Happy.” He finished with a shrug when his brothers exchanged a look across him, “We’re good, still figuring things out, but we’re happy. She makes me happy.”
“She looks pretty happy from where I’m sitting too, bro.” Colt chucked him in the arm, “I don’t think I’ve ever seen her quite like this.”
“What do you mean?”
“She’s not hiding in the corner, pretending she’s invisible. She’s out there, having fun, and Sky didn’t have to drag her out tonight. Being with you, she seems to finally be coming out of her shell so whatever it is you’re doing… keep doing it. Happy looks good on both of you.”
Remy felt the smile curl at his lips as he watched Rachel and Skylar spin around each other. Colt was right. She never would have been on that dance floor two months ago or even two weeks ago. Before they’d gotten together, she’d hidden her light in the shadows, too afraid of being seen by the wrong people. But she didn’t hide with him and that was extending past just the two of them into the rest of her relationships now.
It was beautiful to see. It was even more beautiful to know he had a hand in it. He was helping her see who she really was, who she could be. She was a gorgeous, lively, intelligent and sexy as hell woman and she deserved to be seen. She deserved to shine. And he was only lucky that she’d let him get close enough that her light erased his shadows too.
“I told her I love her tonight.”
“Woah.” Cash grinned.
Colt chuckled, “Good for you. I know you told me that you did but it feels better to tell the woman you love right? Feels better when you hear her say it back.”
“She didn’t say it back.”
He almost laughed at the way both of his brothers’ heads whipped to face him at that. So far, none of them had been able to tear their eyes off their women. Despite their conversation, their attention had remained on the three girls on the dance floor. But now he had their undivided attention.
“Wow, I’m sorry bro. I really thought she…” Cash trailed off, a deep line etching itself between his eyebrows.
“I told her not to say it.” Remy cut him off, hating to worry him on his wedding day, but the line only deepened.
“What? Why?”
“I didn’t want her to say it just because I did. I want her to take her time and say it when she’s ready, when she means it, because when she does, I don’t intend to ever let her take it back.” He cleared his throat when he saw the twins exchange another look, “She’s mine. She knows she’s mine. But there’s something going on with her, something she hasn’t decided to trust me with, and until she does I don’t want to push her.”
Colt frowned now too, “Her brother?”
Remy nodded.
“Any news on that front?” Cash sighed as he glanced around the reception hall, “I know Lincoln wanted to talk to her, talk to you about her, but I haven’t seen him. Did he not show up?”
“No. He text earlier and said something important came up. He’ll be back tomorrow. I told him to come by the trailer and we can talk then.”
“If you want us to be there…” Cash started but Remy held up a hand.
“You just got married. It’s your wedding night. You and Jemma need to be alone and enjoy your honeymoon. Don’t even think about showing up at the trailer tomorrow.” Remy frowned when his brothers started to argue, “That goes for both of you. I got you out. You’re out. Whatever Link thinks is going on with Rachel’s brother… I’ll handle it.”
“I don’t like it.”
