Page 191 of The Billionaire's Christmas Bride
"What?" He grins.
"All this." I jerk my chin toward the Christmas tree currently being set up by his three friends, then to the bar where the other three are having an argument about the latest cricket scores.
The doorbell rings again, then the door is pushed open, and Isla walks in, followed by Sienna—Jace's wife, who pushes a pram with their newborn son.
Victoria follows her.
She smooths her hands down the green dress, as always, looking like she's stepped off a catwalk. She pauses halfway into the room, when Saint looks up. He closes the distance between them and pulls her into a kiss. His large hand covers her stomach protectively. Yep, these two are next in line to have a baby.
"Oh! How romantic." Isla waves a hand in front of her face. She turns to me and her face cracks into a big smile. "Well then, did you two make up your differences?"
"What differences?" Weston smirks, pulling me in for a kiss.
She chuckles, then her gaze widens, "Oh wow!" She gasps, then walks over to us, "Is that what I think it is?" She stares down at my hand.
I hold out my palm. She grabs my fingers and squeezes. "Ouch," I gripe.
"That's one big-ass ring, you bitch." She leans back, glowers at me, "You were holding out on me?"
"Relax," I assure her, "It happened only a few hours ago. He proposed—"
She squeals so loudly that everyone else in the room turns to us.
"Omigod, omigod." She claps her hands, " This is awesome! Another wedding to plan."
"Ah...no." I shake my head.
"What do you mean?" she asks.
"No way, am I going in for the whole song and dance of a society wedding."
"But Amelie," she whines, “you only get married once."
"Which is why it's going to be something low key, and romantic... Something with a specially-crafted menu of desserts."
Weston, bends his head. "Will it have cock pops?" he whispers.
"Chocolate cockups," I correct him.
"What-fucking-ever," He grumbles, "as long as you bake them only for us, and only you eat them."
"Possessive, hmm?"
"Just don’t want anyone else's mouth on my penis, except yours."
"You got a deal." I grin.
"What did I miss?" Summer flounces in, hair flowing around her. She's in a festive onesie with glitter threaded through almost every inch of it.
"Woman, you're too bright for me." Sinclair prowls toward her. He makes a grab for her, but she evades him and giggles. He swoops down, hauls her close and she melts into his arms. They kiss, until her phone begins to ring. She tries to pull free, but he doesn't let her go. "Sinner," she mumbles against his mouth, "I need to get this."
"Fuck it.," he responds.
"It may be Karma. I’ve been hoping that she'd call."
He releases her lips, but holds her in the circle of his arms.
She pulls out her phone from her bag, "Hello?” she says. Her face brightens. "Karma!" she exclaims. "Where have you been? I was beginning to get worried."
