Brick glanced at the priest, who looked at him in pity.
Not good.
Time kept on ticking by.
He heard a text message coming from Ally. “They’re on their way down.”
“Okay, here we go.” He moved through the brothers and Lord rounded them up to get into position. Silence fell on the room once they settled into place.
Brick moved toward the door that led up to the bedrooms. Running fingers through his hair, he stopped. Then, the door opened.
“He’s going to go crazy when he sees you,” Ally said, her voice loud and clear in the hush. She was talking a mile a minute as she pulled Callie into the main room, and Brick fell in love all over again.
Ally had shown him six dresses. He’d hated all but this one. Tight to the body, highlighting every single curve of her luscious figure. The fullness of her tits and hips, the small waist. The only downfall to the dress was it went down to the floor, hiding her thick, juicy thighs that were designed to be wrapped around his waist as he fucked her hard and fast.
“Brick?” she asked.
“Callie.” He was mesmerized. Lost in thought. She was even more beautiful than he remembered.
“What’s going on?”
He had no idea. He couldn’t look away, nor did he want to. Ally patted his shoulder. “This is the part where you go down one knee.”
“Oh, yeah, right.” He slid down and reached into his back pocket. “Callie, I’m in love with you. Have been since I walked in as a chicken farmer. I love you more than anything else in this world. I want to marry you. To make you happy, to put my kids inside you.”
“Be careful, there’s a priest,” Lord whispered.
Righteous had wanted to perform the ceremony, but he wasn’t fit to stand up. It had pissed him off because he’d asked Brick to wait, but he couldn’t be patient. He had to put his ring on her finger as soon as possible. Waiting around wasn’t an option for him.
“Ask her to marry you,” Ally said.
He glared at her.
“Marry me, Callie. Please, and make me the happiest man on earth.”
He stared at her, waiting. Hoping, his nerves firing hot.
“You did all of this for me?” Callie asked.
Had he been presumptuous? What if she didn’t want to marry him at all?
“Yes. I need you, Callie. I didn’t want to wait.”
“Which is the only reason I’m not up there,” Righteous said, interfering. “I wasn’t getting healed fast enough for the big guy.”
Callie laughed.
“Is that a yes?”
She cupped his cheeks and laughed. “Of course, it’s a yes. It’s a big fat yes.” She slammed her lips down on his, kissing him hard. “I love you, and yes, I will marry you. I want to spend the rest of my life with you.”
Wrapping his arms around her, he stood and pulled her close. It was the best answer he could have hoped for.

One week later
Callie stared down at her wedding band. When Ally had trapped her in her room, she had no idea what the hell was going on or what Brick had planned. She’d brought in a dress and some crazy explanation about her trying it on. Callie usually humored her friend, but everything felt off.
At first, she’d declined. Ally had gotten emotional, and Callie had panicked since she was expecting another baby. But it had all worked out in the end.
After the priest had declared them man and wife, and Brick kissed her, he’d told her everything. How he’d originally intended to have their wedding. She was really pleased Ally had stepped in. Brick’s plan had sounded cute, but it wasn’t the kind of wedding she would’ve wanted.
She’d only get married once, and well, this was her first and only.
Much to her surprise, Lord had presented them both with a honeymoon package. They’d been taken away on an all-expenses-paid trip to a luxury island that offered sun, sand, sea, and relaxation. The resort was peaceful, quiet.
When they arrived, she had seen loads of people, but since being shown to their private villa, with their own view, she hadn’t even heard anyone else.
Brick had loved it.
So had Callie when he showed her exactly how good it was to be all alone. It had been her first time on a plane, her first vacation ever. They were able to connect on a new level.
The ocean was hard for her to go into as she had this fear of sharks and giant sea creatures. Brick had distracted her by making love to her.
He’d told her the island offered tours and other amenities, but she was happy to be left alone with only Brick for company.
He told her things might be a little stressful when they got home. Callie had been even more surprised when he’d told her exactly why they would be.
