but she wasn’t about to hurry. Making her men wait was something at which she excelled; why they expected today to be any different was beyond her. Besides, she wanted everything to be perfect.
“I swear I think you love driving Jackson crazy.”
Lori smiled over her shoulder at Alex and Michael, who were supposed to have walked her down the aisle about five minutes ago. Alex, who’d just spoken, fidgeted in his tuxedo, casting glances at his watch every few seconds. To the world, she was the beloved fiancée, soon to be wife, of Jackson McAllister. Here, in their own private little world, she would be the wife to all three. They were even having a private ceremony after the wedding guests had gone to solidify their pact. It was more than a dream come true -- it was an absolute fantasy.
“Just Jackson?” She couldn’t even bring herself to fake a pout. She was just too happy.
“You know you have us all wrapped around your little finger.” Michael didn’t hesitate to come up and wrap his arms around her. “But if you don’t get your sexy ass going, Jackson might come up here and throw you over his shoulder to get you to the altar.”
Too true. Her Black Jack had been champing at the bit for days, more anxious for this day than even she was. It was so cute to see the big, bad head of the family sweat every last detail for their wedding, wanting it to be perfect for her. Lori understood his need to make sure she was legally married to at least one of them. It gave them all a sense of security.
“Okay, I’m ready.”
No nerves, no doubts. Lori stepped boldly between two of the three men she loved with all her heart, ready to begin their lives together.
