agreement.
    “What?” I ask them, I’m a little lost at what’s going on here.
    Jace is the one who answers. “Viper talk does not exist today.”
    “But we haven’t spoken in months!” I exclaim. I need to know what’s been going on. I want to know how much hell is pouring out onto the streets of New York City because of me. “I need some ounce of closure.”
    “And you will, Lee, tomorrow. For today, it’s just about enjoying the weather, the company, and the events of tonight.” Jace is remaining unmoved on the matter. He is stern in this decision. “Tomorrow, you can ask whatever you want. For today, we’re going to get the drinks flowing and have us a pre-wedding party.”
    Giving up, I change the subject snappishly. “When is our wedding?”  I ask him, a hand going to my hip, my eyebrow cocking. I want to know some idea of what will be happening. Then it hits me, Jace’s words. “Tonight’s events?” I question and it makes sense, the boys being here, Barbados, Jace’s latest proposal. “We’re getting married tonight?”
    He gives me a nod. No verbalized response, just a quick head nod and I find myself propelled toward him. I feel like my wildest dreams are coming true. Life doesn’t run like this for me. I don’t have luck and life ruling hand in hand in my life, but right now, between the three men before me, I feel like my luck might well be changing.
    “Thank you,” I whisper to him, not sure what else will gratify what I’ve been given. I kiss him, my hands clasping upon his face to strengthen the power behind the gesture. I feel his arms around my waist tighten, lifting my body up with it. I’m on tiptoes, enjoying the newfound lust driven into our love.
    “Not in front of us, please!” Eli interrupts, disgust oozing from his voice at our moment of PDA. When he catches me looking at him, he breaks down into a bright smile and winks. “It’s nice to see this , but I’m currently battling jetlag for you two. Don’t make me fight my stomach contents from making a reappearance.”
    Josh chuckles besides him. “I’m with him here. That was a turbulent flight.” He holds his stomach to aid his comment. “And knowing my wife is missing out on this place is a bit gutting.”
    “I did offer,” Jace commented, his tone lightened with regret. “We just didn’t know how safe it’d be to get you both out here.”
    “Are you sure this is safe?” I quickly interrupt. I want to enjoy this time together, but there is always such a dark shadow cast upon everything. I feel all three of them react, their bodies becoming startled by my worry and fear.
    Jace is first to react. He turns and grabs me, steadying me to look at him. “We will discuss this more tomorrow, but can you please just let your hair down and enjoy this, like you were in the Dominican Republic? That was the most relaxed I have seen you in months, Joely.”
    “Listen to him, Gilbert,” Eli steps in, his voice is laced and pained with concern. “We’re just here for a few days, do not let her ruin it. Enjoy having us here with you while you can.”
    “We don’t know when the next time will be.” Josh exacts the final sucker punch, and I weaken.
    “Fine,” I relent to them all and mentally try to shake myself of all my woes. I’m in a sunny paradise, what do I really need to worry about besides my imminent wedding? That’s when it hits me. I pale, I don’t have a dress! “What am I going to wear?”
    “I’ve already sorted that,” Josh interjects with a bright smile. “So get your butt out on a sun lounger while we go and get some drinks.”
    I listen and allow Jace to drag me poolside while Josh and Eli go inside and make us drinks. I settle in with gentleness and ease, allowing the rest of the day to go by. When they come out to us, we end up talking like it hasn’t taken months for this moment to occur.
    I end up sitting here with them, listening to them interact as men will. There’s talk of
