THATCHER

We are the first to arrive at the cabin, even though we stopped for snacks and supplies at the grocery store. I use the code Ty sent us to unlock, and step into the rustic space. There are high, vaulted ceilings with exposed wood beams, and the massive stone fireplace takes up one entire wall. I wasn't sure what to expect, but the cabin is furnished with deep leather couches, and the huge wooden table is set with candles.

Emma flicks a switch, and the whole place is aglow with twinkle lights inside and out. "Oh!" she gasps. "It's magical!" She wanders out through the sliding glass door onto the patio and I hear her exclaim, "There's a hot tub!" I laugh, knowing my brothers are going to drink too much and try to drown each other in there if we don't watch out.

I check my phone to read over the email from Ty, where he claimed the biggest bedroom for Juniper and him "because we're the fucking couple of honor," he wrote. Chuckling a bit, I peek into the next closest bedroom and toss my bag in the door. I feel Emma walk up behind me, and then she makes a small sound of surprise.

"There's one bed," she says.

I look over at her. I mean, I had assumed this, but I hadn't stopped to think that this would mean we'd be sharing. I suck air through my teeth for a minute and rub my beard, trying to think fast. I'm about to offer to sleep on the floor, but I see her collecting her wits. "Ok," she says. "We'll just build a pillow wall."

"A pillow wall?" I raise an eyebrow at her and grab her bag, placing it on the dresser.

"Yeah. A barricade. Because you can't keep your hands to yourself," she says, and without another word she starts unpacking her stuff.

Fuck, I think, seeing a glimpse of something black and sheer as she tucks her clothes into the top drawer. I'm going to be in a bed with Emma. I'm relieved when I hear my brothers pull up. They rode together because they came straight from the Stag Law offices where Tim and Alice and Juniper all work.

Soon, Alice is pulling out containers of dips and homemade pita chips, Juniper is mixing drinks, and Tim has even brought Emma a swing-top bottle of sparkling lemonade. When Alice plunks a sprig of fresh mint in her glass, they share a smile, and damn if I don't feel horny just looking at this woman fitting right in with my family.

Juniper brought a card game called Sushi Go, and soon, Emma and Tim are in a fierce battle for the win. Emma catches on really fast, and eventually, the rest of us stop really trying. We just want to watch Emma and Tim fight over sashimi and pudding cards. He starts yelling at her about tactics, and she doesn't miss a beat, dishing it right back to him, playing a defensive game. Emma isn't intimidated by Tim at all, and I love that.
