CHAPTER TWENTY

Tessa

“Ladies and gentlemen!”

Holding hands, my husbands and I have just entered the cocktail party, and we pause inside the wide-open double doors.

I’m stunned to see internet billionaire sensation Jaxon Mills on a small stage, acting as our emcee and at least double the number of people who attended the ceremony.

“Smile,” Link coaches.

“Please welcome Link Merritt, Pax Gallagher, and their beautiful bride, Tessa Merritt!”

On either side of me, my husbands raise my hands, and our guests turn to cheer and clap.

For someone who has tried to hide for so long, being seen like this is still surreal.

From in front of us, Marcella repeatedly snaps the shutter on her camera, just like she had when we emerged from the bridal room a few minutes ago.

My hair is a mess, with curls framing my cheeks and several cascading down my back. It must be obvious what the three of us were up to while people were waiting.

But I don’t have a moment to think about that.

Finally they allow me to lower my arms.

“Show time,” Link says.

“We’ll stay with you,” Pax promises.

Good thing. I’m not sure I could navigate this without them.

The reception line should have helped me remember who people are, but I’m drowning in a sea of names and faces.

Maybe that shouldn’t surprise me. After what my husbands just did to me, I can barely recall who I am.

The first people we make our way toward are Lorenzo and Zara.

Obviously Link is strategic with the way we’re greeting people.

As we approach, Lorenzo raises his champagne flute in greeting. Zara is sipping what appears to be soda water with lime. Which makes sense as I recall Link asking how their baby daughter is doing.

Zara hugs me. “You’ve got your hands full with this pair.”

Link shrugs in agreement.

Lorenzo shakes hands with my men, then acknowledges me.

“Thank you for coming,” Link says beside me, his voice warm with genuine affection. “Zara, we’re delighted you could get away.”

“We’re so happy to have shared your celebration,” Zara says. “Forgive us if we don’t stay much longer.”

“Gabriella’s waiting for us at home. This is one of Zara’s first outings.”

With a laugh, she looks at her husband. “You should see this one with her,” she says, nudging Lorenzo playfully. He responds by sliding his arm around her waist and easing her closer. “Gabriella has her daddy wrapped around her little finger. It’s adorable.”

Lorenzo doesn’t even try to deny it.

This formidable man lights up at the mere mention of his daughter.

“What can I say? I’m powerless against her beautiful eyes. Reminds me of my principessa.” He smiles at Zara. Then he returns his attention to us. “Your guests are waiting.

“I hope to spend more time with you in the future,” I tell Zara, and I mean it. She’s warm and inviting.

“If you are in Las Vegas long enough, I’d love to have you come and meet Gabriella.”

I look to Link. “I’d like that.”

Gently Link’s hand returns to my back, and he guides me toward three men who are standing in a circle.
