“The backyard will be completely transformed. Tents will line the perimeter of the grounds, forming a u-shape of the dance floor and podium for the bands. Bars will be set up along the patio, but waiters will serve as well.” Harley and Amanda babble on, showing everyone the sketches of the wedding set-up.

“Did you say bands?” Mom asks, and Harley snaps her mouth shut, her eyes filling with panic.

“Oh, shit! I didn’t mean to say that.”

“Cat’s outta that bag now, chica.” Charlie snorts. “You are the worst. People say I’m bad at keeping secrets.”

“I can keep secrets!” Harley shoots her an evil glare.

“It’s okay to be excited.” I fill her glass with champagne. “But you have lost your touch.”

“Fine! I’m too excited to keep it in. I have a surprise guest singing our first song.”

All eyes swing to Raven, who’s sipping her own flute. “Don’t look at me, it’s not Sayge.”

“So who is it?” Shayla’s puzzled. “This is news to me.”

“Everyone will be surprised,” Harley sing-songs, then points to the plot of land on the other side of the property that currently backs up to the only spot that allows you to see the neighboring street. “This is where we will hold the ceremony.” Her voice cracks at the ‘oohs and ahs’ as the women understand. In the background is the slimmest glimpse into their new home.

“I can picture it now,” Mom sighs wistfully, “My husband will fight me, but if he’s too busy, I’ll have the barn and stables painted by a contractor. It will be perfect.”

Everyone agrees.

“We’ll put the horses out to pasture and make sure Doobie is washed to perfection for pictures.”

Lots of nods come from the group.

Wait… Her suggestions sink in, and I glance around at the fading faces. Does no one realize she mentioned our barn, stables, and horses? This is Harley…

A rush of cool air fans over my legs before strong, warm arms snake around my waist. The scent of Major’s soap fills my nostrils, and I snuggle into him. A hand grabs my knee, pulling it up and settling back so his calf weaves with mine. Soft stubble runs along my jaw and throat, warm lips kissing the path.

I link my fingers in his and settle into my pillow.

Subconsciously, every ridge and muscle of his body ripples to mine, pulling me deeper into the dream.

“Say you love me, Julianna,” his rough voice demands, and I smile.

Even in my dreams, he’s bossy.

Then my eyes pop open. I squeeze my hands, and he pulls my earlobe between his teeth.

“Good morning.”

I jump, slamming him back and almost falling off the bed until he catches me by the hips. He hauls me up, positioning us so I’m straddling his lap and he’s against my headboard.

“I’ve missed waking up to you.”

My hands swipe at my face and hair, knowing I must be a mess. I’m not hungover, but the trio and my mom kept the party going when we returned from Harley’s shower.

“Major?” I rasp.

His grin widens, and he tucks my hair behind my ear.
