Chapter Twenty-Six

Taryn

“I feel like I haven’t seen you in forever,” Bailey says as I walk into the shop. “You’ve hardly been here in a month.”

After Donny & Marie, Nixon offered Reagan a plumb job as the official lawyer for Armónico Holdings, Inc., the multi-billion-dollar company that manages his casino and other venues. As soon as he knew his brother wanted to stay, he locked that shit down. That same day, Reagan and I signed the purchase agreement for a luxury home in Vegas’s best gated community. An acreage property just a mile down from Marcella and Nixon. The only thing missing is the horse, but I’ll leave that to my new friend, Marcella.

“Well, I’ve got a lot on my plate right now,” I say, blushing under the heat of her words.

“Yeah, I know,” Bailey says, moaning. “You think Ford is single? He’s the third of the smoking hot Caldwells. I’ve got to get a gander at Carter. He’s been the executive chef in the steakhouse. Do you think I should reserve the chef’s table just so I can see if he’s the fourth?”

I laugh and shake my head. “Sorry, Bails-of-hay, I think you’re out of luck. According to Reagan, Ford’s been in love with the same girl since college. But Carter…that I’m not sure about. I haven’t even met him yet. Apparently, he’s deep in some contest for a Food Network show.”

Bailey pouts, but it doesn’t last for long. Then she smirks at me. “In love with the same woman since college? Like Reagan. And you.”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” I say, shaking my head. Her words hit too close to home.

“Oh, please.” She rolls her eyes. “He’s been in love with you for years.”

“Well, it all worked out, didn’t it?”

“Now you need to find me a guy,” Bailey says. “Maybe you can hook me up with some groomsman at your wedding.”

“What wedding? That’s way in the future. I thought managing Strict Nécessaire was difficult, but seriously – wedding planning would take everything out of me.”

Just as I’m about to elaborate on the stress of being newly in love, the door chimes and Reagan strides inside. Running to him, I throw my arms around his neck and kiss him. I can’t help it. Just the sight of him makes me want to indulge in abnormal PDA.

When Reagan pulls away, he’s laughing. My Chanel lipstick is smudged all around his mouth, and I lovingly wipe it off.

“I’ve just marked you as mine,” I say, reaching into my pocket for a tissue and handing it over.

“Well, that’s fitting,” he says. “Get any singing telegrams lately?”

I roll my eyes. “Not from you. A girl can only have so many birthdays in one year. I’ll be lucky if I make it through this one without turning seventy.”

Reagan and I laugh together under Bailey’s watchful eye. “You guys are so gross,” she says. “That’s my cue to leave. See ya, wouldn’t want to be ya.”

“Proud of it,” Reagan says, nuzzling my neck until I burst into giggles.
