Chapter 140: Stolen Moments
“On your honeymoon?” Leo spluttered. He gave me an astonished glance before he turned back to the triplets. “Are you sure that’s—”
“If you don’t want to come, that would be even better,” Levi interrupted with a playful smirk.
“I’ll be there,” Leo replied immediately, narrowing his eyes at Levi. “Someone has to make sure she gets a break from you three occasionally.”
Liam and I exchanged amused glances. The rivalry between Leo and the triplets had softened into something closer to brotherly teasing, though they’d all deny it if asked, especially Leo and Levi.
“I can’t wait to be back at the beach house,” I said, thinking of the private island paradise where the triplets had proposed. The memory of dropping to one knee in perfect unison, the gorgeous ring held out, still made my heart race.
“Our first night there as husband and wife,” Liam said softly against my ear. “As your official mates.”
A shiver ran down my spine at his words. Though we’d marked each other a while ago, there was something different about being officially married in front of our pack.
“I’ve packed your bags,” Lucas said, his hand resting possessively on my hip. “We can slip away whenever you’re ready.”
“After the first dance,” I decided. “I don’t want to miss that.”
As if on cue, the music shifted to a slow, romantic melody. Lucas led me to the center of the dance floor, his brothers and Leo watching from the edge with identical expressions of hunger that made my pulse quicken.
Lucas’s strong arms encircled my waist, pulling me against his solid chest as we began to sway to the music. His green eyes held mine, full of promises that made heat pool low in my belly.
“You look breathtaking,” he whispered, his thumb tracing small circles on my lower back. “I’ve been fighting the urge to steal you away all day.”
