He blew out a sigh and lifted his head to pout down at me. “I was hoping we could spend the morning in bed, sweetness.”
“You knew this was happening today. It’s all the moms have been talking about for weeks now.”
“But your appointment isn’t until noon.”
Laughing, I patted him on the cheek. “You’re so cute, but so clueless.” I rolled away from him and threw my legs over the side of the bed. “Go back to sleep. I’ll see you later tonight,” I tossed over my shoulder as I headed for the bathroom.
I took care of business, then brushed my teeth while the shower heated up. As soon as I was under the powerful spray of the water, I moaned in pleasure, letting the jets ease away the tension that was already filling my neck and shoulders.
The moment I felt the cool breeze of the shower door opening, I grinned. Harris grasped my waist with one hand and my right breast with the other, squeezing and massaging as I ground my ass back into his already straining cock. “I thought you were going to sleep? You didn’t get home until three this morning.”
“Sleep can wait,” he groaned against my ear. “I’m starving for you right now, sweetness.”
I turned in his arms, letting the water flow over both of us. “I’m pretty hungry myself,” I told him as I stood on tiptoes to kiss him.
“Don’t you have to hurry?” he reminded me with a smirk.
I snorted. “I’m the bride, what are they going to do without me there?”
“That’s what I wanted to hear,” he growled. He grabbed my ass in both hands and lifted me, pressing my back against the tiled wall warmed by the steaming water as I wrapped my legs around his waist. The head of his cock was lined up perfectly, and he slowly entered me while keeping our gazes locked. “Fuck, you feel so good.”

I was over an hour late for breakfast, which got me an earful from the moms and Aunt Emmie. But the others welcomed me with hugs and laughs. Mia, Trinity, Nevaeh, and Arella were there as well as Jenna and Kin. I tuned out Mom and Nat and even Aunt Emmie as I took my place at the table and Lana poured me a glass of orange juice from the half-full carafe.
“Your hair isn’t even straight,” Mom complained as she took the seat across from Lana, and a waiter appeared as if by magic to place a plate of scrambled eggs and pancakes in front of me.
“Why does that matter?” Nevaeh asked from where she was sitting with Mia and Jenna at the end of the table.
“It doesn’t,” Lana told her oldest. “And Aunt Layla is going to shut her mouth now before she pisses off Mommy,” my sister gritted out, shooting Mom a look that told her to shut up.
“Uh-oh,” Arella muttered from my left. “Aunt Layla is gonna get in trouble.”
Mom blew out a long breath. “I just wanted her to have the full effect with the dress and veil on today. Her hair is going to be down for the wedding.”
That had me sitting up straighter. “It is?” This was news to me. I hadn’t even decided how I was going to do my hair for the wedding yet. Kin and I had been talking about going to the salon to try out a few different styles.
“It would fit the dress the best,” Mom said with a shrug.
“How do you know that?” Kin spoke up for the first time. “She hasn’t even tried any on yet.”
“We’ve already talked to the designer, and we know which dresses she’s going to try on. I know which one she’s going to pick.”
“Yes, because it’s going to be my choice,” Natalie said from across the table. “You’re going to look so beautiful in the gown I picked out.”
I slowly set my glass of juice on the table. “You each picked a dress?” I glanced at Lana. “Did you?”
“Of course not. These three have been tight-lipped about the whole thing.” She clasped my hand, giving it a reassuring squeeze. “Don’t worry about it yet,” she murmured so low that only I could hear her. “Just try on the dresses they picked out, make them happy, and then we’ll start trying on the ones we talked about. Okay?”
Relieved, I nodded and began to eat some of my breakfast. I picked at the eggs and cut up the pancakes, but I never really took a bite. I couldn’t eat now, not when my stomach was fluttering with anxiety. This was the one thing out of everything th
e moms had tossed at me over the past six weeks that I had been looking forward to, yet they already seemed to be taking it over so completely I wanted to cry.
“Okay, ladies.” Aunt Emmie got to her feet. “Let’s get this group moving. We can’t be late. I had to call in two different favors I’ve been holding on to for years to get this appointment slot.”
I wiped my fingers on my linen napkin and started to stand, but Arella and Trinity came running up from behind and set something on my head. “What…?” I touched my hair and felt the tiara, my heart melting.
“We think you should look like a princess,” Arella told me.
