“Aww,” the ladies in the room coo.
“Just like that, panties dropping all over the place,” Maverick jokes.
“Don’t talk about my wife’s panties,” Declan grumps.
“He’s not wrong,” I speak up. “It’s sweet.”
“Right?” Kennedy agrees.
“Consider my panties dropped.” Jade chuckles.
“Hey now.” Orrin pulls her into his chest, dropping a kiss on the top of her head. “No one is dropping your panties but me.”
“Ramsey Setty has a nice ring to it.” Ramsey winks at her fiancé, and the smile that lights up Deacon’s face can only be described as blinding.
“So, hanging by the pool?” Rushton asks.
“Two more days to do absolutely nothing? Sign me up,” Merrick says, snagging a piece of bacon from the plate in the center of the island of this huge kitchen.
“Oh, I have something for us to do today.” Palmer grins.
“What?” Brooks asks.
“Just a little something I thought would be fun.” There is an evil glint in her eyes. That look alone tells me that we’re in for a treat.
“You holding out on me, beautiful?” Brooks asks her.
“I would never.” Palmer turns to look at him over her shoulder. “You’ll be involved,” she assures him.
“That’s really vague, but I’m in,” Maverick tells his sister-in-law.
“Eat up, ladies,” Ryder says, handing Jordyn a plate. “We’ve got a heated pool and some rays calling our name.”
Everyone does what he says and digs into the piles of bacon and pancakes that are on multiple plates on the island.
“You know,” Ramsey says. “I could get used to you all spoiling us like this.”
“Come on now, Rams.” Archer laughs. “We all know Deacon dotes on you. It’s all right. We’ve already taken his man card.”
“Pfft. I handed it over willingly,” Deacon counters.
“Little brother, there is nothing wrong with spoiling the love of your life,” Brooks tells him. “That’s how you earn your man card.”
Archer taps his index finger against his chin as he lets his gaze roam over his brothers.
“What are you doing?” Declan asks, laughing.
“I’m trying to decide which one of us is next to lose their balls,” Archer jests.
“We didn’t lose them,” Orrin tells him. “We just found good women to love with all we’ve got. You’ll get there. In fact, you might be next.”
“Stop!” Archer holds his hand up, shaking his head. “Don’t curse me like that.”
“You think that love is a curse?” Ramsey asks him.
“No, but I’m too young to settle down like these old asses.” He points to Deacon, Orrin, Brooks, and Declan.
“Love knows no age,” Brooks tells him.
