In Bed with the Wrangler Page 15
“She won’t.” Royce had had most of his life to come to terms with his parents’ secret, and it had still colored him in ways he hadn’t even realized. It had almost cost him the love of his life.
He caught Amber’s gaze.
She sobered at the sight of his expression, eyes narrowing. Then she unobtrusively stood from her seat to move toward him.
He smiled and snagged her wrist, pulling her into his lap to wrap his arms around her.
“What’s wrong?” she asked.
“Nothing.”
She raised her brows to Jared.
Jared shook his head. “It’s all good.” His smile was back, and it was easy. “Except you can’t seem to decide on a wedding.”
Royce knew Amber wasn’t buying their jovial mood, but she played along. “This is not a decision to take lightly. I’m only getting married once.”
“In Vegas,” said Royce.
Amber socked him in the arm.
“Tahiti, maybe.” Melissa joined in. “On a beach, just family?”
“I vote for Tuscany,” Stephanie called out. “Or Paris in the spring.”
“She’ll be pregnant by spring,” said Royce, and Amber gave him a wide-eyed look of surprise.
“And we’d better damned well be married by then,” he growled low.
“Babies?” she mused.
“I want babies,” he confirmed.
“Good,” she whispered and hugged him tightly, pressing her face into the crook of his neck, sighing in contentment, while the rest of his family joked about wedding plans.
