Story: Three Grumpy Groomsmen
“Of course.” I squeeze his hand. “And everyone whoreallyknows you knows that you’re not the type to do something like that.”
He lifts my hand and presses a kiss to the knuckles. “You’re right. But my imagination gotveryinappropriate.”
“Promise to give me a demonstration of a few of those imaginings later.”
His gaze is hot, but also full of affection, when he says, “Any time, anywhere.”
We claim seats on a log near the fire and Ford reaches behind the log and pulls out a guitar. To my complete delight, he starts strumming it as if he does it all the time.
I put my arm around him and give him a side hug. “You play the guitar? You get sexier by the minute.”
He gives me a slow smile. “That’s what I was aiming for.”
Harrison sits down on the opposite side of me. “Play her a song and get her sexy ass all turned on for us.”
Ford plays a few chords, then he starts singing.
Instantly, I’m transfixed. He has a warm smooth voice as he sings, “Hey there Delilah,” alternating between looking at me and the guitar strings.
“Damn, he’s good,” Liam murmurs, sitting down beside Harrison.
Harrison slips a hand over my knee and puts his other arm around Liam.
Wanting all of us connected in a chain, I ease my hand into Ford’s pocket so I don’t disturb his playing but I’m still touching him.
Not many people seem to be taking much notice of us, and those who do are smiling or look amused.
I wouldn’t care if they were glaring.
Nothing can ruin this moment.
Because I realize without a single doubt that I’m in love with all three of these men.
CHAPTER 28
Harrison
Ivy was absolutely fantastic tonight.As was Liam.
I’m not surprised, but I’m thrilled.
They fit in with our family and friends so easily, and they seemed to actually enjoy themselves.
I haven’t stopped smiling.
As we walk up the path to my house, Ivy and Ford lead the way, holding hands, her laughing at something Liam just said from behind them. I realize that everything is going according to plan.
I mean, I shouldn’t be surprised. Things usually work out for me. But I realize at this moment that I’ve been worried about this.
Worried that Liam and Ivy wouldn’t be comfortable here. That Honeysuckle Harbor is too small for them. That our families would be too much for them.
Okay, I’ve been worried thatIwould be too much for them.
For Liam.
It’s not the first time that I’ve been at risk of overwhelming or annoying someone to the point they bail. But it’s the first time I’ve really cared.
I love him. And I need him.
