Saint Jude: Los Angeles Bad Boys
Page 14
“You make me a better man, a better father. And more than anything, I want to be your husband. I want to be yours. Marry me. And make me the happiest man on earth.”
“Jude.” Her word is an echo, her face flooded with tears. “Jude, of course I’ll marry you. I love you.”
I slip the ring on her finger and stand, wrapping her and my baby girl in a hug, feeling like the goddamn luckiest man in the world.
“This is insane,” Cash hollers. Everyone’s clapping, laughing, surprised.
Trish pulls us into a hug, and my mom does, too. Everyone exclaims their surprise. Bex takes Etta from Cat, and I pull Cat into my arms.
“Jude,” Cat says, her arms around my neck. “You planned this?”
“Of course I did. I just didn’t plan on the other two engagements today.”
“I love you,” she tells me, kissing me, and the world around us disappears for a moment as we melt against one another.
“I love you more.”
“Do you love us, too?” Evie asks, breaking the stolen moment. “Because we want to know if you’re in.”
“In what?” Cat asks, laughing. She turns to face our friends, but her eyes are on the engagement ring. Precious stones in a rainbow of colors, set against gold. There’s no other ring like it on the planet.
“In for the triple wedding,” Bexley asks. “It’s a go.”
“What are you talking about?” Cat asks, laughing.
“Are you in? Or are you one of those bridezillas who needs things perfect?” Holden asks, teasing his sister.
“I do not need things perfect,” Cat says. Looking up at me, she adds. “I mean, I already got pretty damn lucky.”
“So it’s a go?” Evie asks, laughing. “I mean, it would be pretty epic.”
“And pretty….” I trail off, not wanting Catalina to feel any pressure about this crazy idea—an idea I happen to like. I mean, my two best friends, their women, and the start of our lives? Pretty epic, actually.
“Pretty cool,” Catalina finishes. “I mean, only if the wedding was as crazy as this concept.”
“Right,” Cassius adds. “Like, it would have to be in Vegas or Monte Carlo or something insane.”
“A Vegas wedding?” my mom asks. “That sounds like … exactly what I’d expect from you three.”
“Is this for real?” Holden asks, laughing. “I mean, on a bullshit scale, how much bullshit are we talking?”
“I’m not bullshiting,” Evie says. “I think it sounds fun.”
Cash pipes up. “And my buddy Jack Harris has connections in Vegas. His best friend Ace owns a hotel. We can get married there.”
“This is bananas.” Catalina shakes her head.
“Like, good bananas or bananas-bananas?” Bexley asks.
“Like banana splits with a freaking cherry on top,” Cat says. “I mean, who does this?”
“Apparently, we do,” Holden says, laughing, raising his glass.
“To a triple wedding in Las Vegas,” I say, pulling Cat close to me.
“To us,” she says, the rim of her glass clinking against mine. “To us all.”

"Everly," he growls. "I'm claiming you as mine, right here, right now."
SILAS
I want a wife who knows what it means to live off the grid, cook my food, and keep my bed warm.
In exchange, I'll give her a lifetime of happiness in the form of my c*ck.
But d*mn, Everly's more than I bargained for and I don't think she has any idea what it means to be mine. Hell, I wanted a wife, but I'm not sure I know how to live with a woman.
EVERLY
Did I expect to be a mail-order bride at twenty-two? No. But honestly, my life could be a helluva lot worse. The agency says this Alaskan mountain man is rich, hot as heck, and willing to pay off my student loans.
I'm crossing my fingers he's everything I signed up for.
But I may be a little over my head. Mostly because I'm marrying a stranger and also because I've never dated. Period.
Clearly I have no clue how to be a wife ... but it's too late to back out now.
*WARNING: This story features a mountain man who knows exactly what he wants. And how he wants it. Don't one-click if you want a tame mail order bride story ... this is a classic Frankie Love romance ... steamy as hell with a HEA.
