“Is Madalyn here?” The taller of the two asks. He is wearing a Regret PD hat. Why the fuck are two strange men looking for my girl? I feel jealousy start to rear its ugly head, but there is nothing I can do to stop it.
“Who wants to know?” I demand, getting more pissed by the second. I widen my stance and cross my arms over my chest. The men just stare at me like I have two heads. They are about to get decked.
“I’m Dallas O’Grady and this is Cal Morgan. We are looking for Madalyn Stone. Someone at her old place said she lived out here now,” O’Grady says.
Out of the corner of my eye, I see Maddy sauntering down the hallway. I turn my head and see she just has on my tan uniform shit. Fuck no. These fucks aren’t seeing my girl like that.
“Stop right there, Maddy. Go put some clothes on. We’ve got company,” I say harsher than I mean to. These two have me on edge. Thankfully, she stops and turns around going back into the bedroom.
Then, out from behind the men, two girls peek their heads out. You can definitely tell that they are related to Maddy somehow.
“Forgive our husbands,” one of the blondes says. “I am Aubree Stone Morgan, and this is Meredith O’Grady. Maddy is our cousin.”
“Oh. Come in, please. She should be out in just a few minutes,” I say, leading them to the living room. I shake hands with the men. “I’m Leif Larson. Maddy is my fiancée,” I say as Maddy comes back into the room. She looks fantastic in a pair of tight jeans and one of my work t-shirts.
“Bree? Mere? Oh my God,” Maddy exclaims rushing over to them. The other girls stand and the three of them fling themselves into some kind of crazy hug/jump situation. Then the screaming starts. You know the kind. Girls screaming when they see each other after a long ass time.
Fuck, I love the look of pure happiness on Maddy’s face right now.
Chapter Eight
Maddy
I totally forgot my cousins were supposed to come into town today. I mean, I remember that they were coming in, but somehow, I thought it was like a few days from now. I guess that’s what happens when you’re in a love fog. And boy have I been in one. If Leif and I are not fucking, he’s making slow, sweet love to me. If we aren’t doing either of those then we are simply vegging out on the sofa watching movies and talking. Just enjoying each other. So yeah, mind totally not on cousins.
“I am so happy to see you two. I missed you so much,” I squeal as my cousins and I jump up and down like high schoolers.
“We miss you too. But oh my gosh! I can’t believe you are fucking getting married!!!” I snicker as I hear Meredith’s husband growl at her choice of words.
“Language, Meredith!!” She looks at him, giggles and rolls her eyes. I shake my head as I lead them further into the house.
“So, Maddy, are you ready to go?” Aubree asks.
“Go? Where are you going?” Leif asks. I am about to answer him when Aubree once again chirps in.
“We are taking her into town, and going shopping for the wedding and to see this gown she has told us so much about…” I smile at her obvious excitement. It’s nice to have some family here to celebrate this with.
“I see. Do you want me to come with you, baby?” I can tell by the look on his face he is not ready for us to be separated for the day and to be honest neither am I. But, if we are going to really do this, I do need to move things along and with my cousins here, I find I am looking forward to it.
“No. You can’t see my gown. Why don’t you show the guys around town? Maybe introduce them to the other guys or something because all of the girls are going to meet us there.” Just as soon as I send out the reminder text. He pulls me in for a hug and kiss.
“If you need me, you know where I am.” I nod my head. “Where Maddy? Tell me.”
“Never far from me.”
“Exactly. Now kiss me again. And this time like you mean it.”
He grabs the back of my head and when our mouths meet, I know the message in the way his tongue seeks mine. The possessive hold his hand has on my head as his other hand, hold my back. ‘You are mine. Never forget it.’ A message I never need him to remind me because I have been his since the moment we met.
We finally part, both out of breath and horny as fuck.
