“I sure did,” London replied.
“He’s a good one,” Summer told us. “And he’s not married.”
All eyes turned to Val and hers widened when all the attention became focused on her. “W-What?” she stuttered.
“Someone looked interested,” I told her.
Her blush deepened and she shook her head. “You're silly,” she said.
“Project!” Alley exclaimed, clapping her hands in glee.
All the women joined in. “Project!” they yelled in unison.
“Oh no!” Val told them, shaking her head.
Some of the guys wandered up to the group.
Kace shook his head, just as Val had seconds ago. “Here we go again.”
“Poor Val doesn’t know what just hit her,” Lyric said as Val looked at us with a panicked expression.
“Hit who?” Gyth asked.
Kace smacked him on the back. “You’re late to the game dude. Go sit down, buddy.
Gyth gave him a feral growl.
Ignoring the duo once again—after laughing at their antics of course—I focused on the woman next to me. “It’sgoing to be okay,” I soothed, giving her the words she gave me earlier today.
Wait until Huntley found out his mom was part of the ladies’ new matchmaking scheme.
And I was fully onboard.
Chapter Forty-Eight
HUNTLEY
I wantedto be with my fiancée.
Not for a second would I have changed making love to River the night before, but I would have liked to have had a lazy morning in bed doing just what she'd asked.
Showing her just how much I loved her.
After pulling my phone out of my pocket, I shot her a text in case she was in the room with her sister.
Me:How about a week from today?
I watched as the three little dots started and stopped before seeing her reply.
River:I have to wait for round two for a whole week?
A deep chuckle vibrated my chest. I was pretty sure she was messing with me again and knew exactly what I was talkingabout.
Me:No. I promise to show you how much I love you when I get home tomorrow.
Seconds ticked by and my phone pinged.
River:If I have to wait a week to marry you, I will. But I meant what I said, I’d do it today if it were possible. I love you, Huntley. So much.
