Mom admonished.
He grinned. “Am I wrong?”
“No, you’re not wrong,” I conceded. “But we’ll be revisiting this conversation when he finally puts it back in his pants.”
“You two are the worst,” Mom complained.
“Blame him,” I retorted. “He’s the parent. I simply mimic what I was taught.”
“She’s got you there,” Mom said.
“How would you feel if we eloped?” I asked.
“Elope, how?” Mom asked.
“Like, run to the courthouse and make it official, rather than a big wedding.”
“Oh, I don’t care if you have a big wedding,” she said. “I would love to be there when you say your ‘I dos,’ but if you don’t want a big wedding, I totally get it.”
“Thanks, Mama.”
For the next hour, I let the love from my parents sink into my soul. We talked a little bit about wedding plans, but more about the big party rather than the quickie marriage at the courthouse, and when I was ready to head home, I was armed with the goodness that was my family.

MONDAY MORNING, RABBIT woke me at nine and I reluctantly left our bed to step into the shower. He refused to join me, which kind of dampened the giddiness of my wedding day.
“I promise, I’m gonna fuck you the second you’re my wife,” he said. “Waiting will make it hotter.”
“I highly doubt that,” I grumbled, pulling the shower door closed.
He grinned as I closed my eyes and dropped my head under the water. When I opened my eyes again, he was gone. I took time with my hair and makeup and donned the white plunge-neck jumpsuit I’d bought for our special occasion, walking out to my family room to find Jasmine, Willow, Olivia, and Lyric sitting at my dining room table, laughing while eating whatever Rabbit had probably made for them.
“Oh my god, hooker, you look amazing!” Jasmine crooned, jumping up from the table and pulling me in for a hug.
“What are you guys doing here?” I asked, glancing at Rabbit who just grinned a shit eating grin before taking a sip of coffee.
“Like we’d miss your first big day,” Willow said, hugging me next.
“Quin’s going to meet us at the courthouse,” Jasmine said.
Quin was Badger’s wife. Badger was the treasurer for the club, and was also Dash’s bestie. Of course, bikers didn’t refer to each other as ‘besties,’ but that didn’t stop us women from doing it…behind their backs.
Lyric and Olivia took their turn to hug me and I bit back happy tears. “You guys left your babies to come see me get married?”
“Well, yeah,” Willow said, with a frown. “I can’t believe you’d think we wouldn’t.”
I waved my hands in front of my face in an effort to dry my tears, but it didn’t work, and I ended up blubbering the way I did at those stupid Folgers Christmas commercials.
“Babe,” Rabbit said, pulling me against his chest.
“You did this, didn’t you?” I accused.
“I plead the fifth.” He stroked my cheek. “You look beautiful.”
“Thank you.” I gave him a watery smile. “I love you.”
He kissed me gently. “Love you, too, Pebbles.”
A chorus of female voices let out a sing-songy, “Awww,” as I pulled away from my man and joined them at the table.
“Wait…before you eat…” Willow said, and grabbed my robe from behind the bedroom door, sliding it on me backwards. “Just in case.”
“Oh, good plan,” I said and sat at the table with my girls.
Rabbit rushed us through breakfast, and I chalked it up to him being eager to make an honest woman out of me, but when we got to the courthouse, I couldn’t miss the rows of Harleys parked in front.
“Oh my god, what did you do?” I breathed out as Rabbit took my hand and led me inside.
He stopped, facing me and cupping my cheeks. “Don’t be mad.”
I closed my eyes. “Which means I’m going to be, doesn’t it?”
“It’s your wedding day, Pebbles, so I let your girls run with a few plans. I think they’ve snowballed.”
“I think they invited every biker in Savannah,” I rasped.
Rabbit smiled. “More like Georgia.”
“There you are,” Stevie called as she came running toward us, a bouquet of flowers in her hand. “They just called the number before yours.”
She handed me the flowers and the line ticket to Rabbit.
“What are—?”
“Shadow and Otter are watching the store,” Rabbit said.
“Um…”
“I’ve been training them secretly for two weeks, Park,” Stevie said. “They’re actually really good.”
I looked up at Rabbit. “You did this.”
“Depends…” He studied me. “Are you happy?”
“So happy! Stevie’s one of my girls, honey, you know this.”
