When we arrived earlier, the girls actually had to shoo him and the other men off. Jason, the president of the MC club, told Ben we’d be fine. That no one was going to mess with us. Which is true. I’ve noticed most of the other men here are giving our table a wide berth. I’m guessing they already know better than to mess with us. Well, at least with Ollie, Vee, and Pink, that is. I’m not sure what they think when it comes to me.
“Would you want a big wedding?” Pink asks, pulling me back into the conversation.
“I don’t think so.”
“What do you mean you don’t think?” Both Ollie and Pink speak at the same time.
“A wedding sounds nice, but I wouldn’t have anyone to come,” I admit. Sure, I’ve dreamed of the whole princess dress and all the things that come along with a wedding. Don’t most girls?
“We’d come, but none of that matters,” Pink says. “Even if it’s only going to be Ben and you there, you should have the wedding you want.”
“Really? Cause I think I’d want that. All of it. I don’t have a family, and this would be a celebration to not only get my husband but a family too.”
“You’re about to have more family than you can handle.” Ollie's smile lights up her whole face.
“Three sisters.” Vee holds up three fingers and wiggles them.
“Which means three bridesmaids,” Ollie adds.
“I think we’re getting ahead of ourselves.” I glance back over my shoulder again. My stomach drops when I don’t see Ben at the pool table with the other men. Where did he go?
“No, we’re not getting ahead. As soon as you agree to marry one of these men, they want it done like yesterday. If anything, we’re behind. Trust us on this,” Ollie says, pulling my attention back to the table, but my mind is still on Ben missing. My mind starts to race with where he might have gone.
Did some girl steal his attention? Did he get a call about something? One possibility after another flashes through my mind. Panic starts to rise inside of me.
“She’s right. We can start making an outline of some small details so we’re ahead.” Vee hops in, ready to help.
I shake my head no. “Snow.” Pink grabs my hand under the table. “Look at me.” I turn my head to meet her eyes. “That man isn’t going to ever leave you. He’s at the bar.” I jerk around to see Ben at the bar talking to Nelly, the pretty bartender.
I met her when we first got here. She was sweet—or so I thought. She has a big personality and a Southern accent that draws a lot of male attention. I noticed a lot of men would wait just for her to take their order. I know for a fact I told her Ben and I were together. Now she’s over there laughing and shooting him smiles.
“He’s not interested in Nelly.” Pink breaks me from my thoughts. “He’s just being nice.”
“I don’t like it,” I mutter as one of those green martinis is set on the table in front of me. I’d recognize Ben’s hand from anywhere.
“Don’t like what, Bunny?” He brushes my hair back off my shoulder so that he can kiss my neck. I tilt my head to the side, making sure he has all the room he needs to kiss me wherever he wants.
“That girl was flirting with you,” I admit. That drink really lets me say whatever I want. I swear it’s some sort of truth serum or something.
“What girl?” His mouth continues to travel up my neck to my ear, where he nibbles on me, making me giggle.
“Good answer,” Pink says.
“I really don’t know what you all are talking about.” Ben lifts his head, his hand going to my chin to tilt my face in his direction. “Bunny should know she’s the only woman I see.”
“I know.” I sigh. He’s always trying to reassure me. “I can’t help that my emotions get the best of me.” Ben has been so good to me. It’s rude. I keep getting worked up over nothing. I should trust him. He’s given me no reason not to.
“You’re scared. I get it. With time, you’ll see it’s only you for me.”
“It’s true. I’ve never seen him this way,” Ollie chimes in.
“Have fun, Bunny. I’ll be close. Always.” He drops a kiss on my mouth before he turns to go.
“So as I was saying. This wedding.” Pink smirks. I pick up my new drink and take a sip.
“I want Buttons and Dino to be in the wedding,” I say even if this is all pretend. Maybe it won’t be pretend much longer.

Ben
“You’re worse than me,” my brother Kane says from beside me.
We’re both leaning up against the far wall next to the pool table while Jason and Arch play their game. My eyes are focused on Bunny. They barely leave her.
