Amid discussions with all parties, I’ve learned two things: the reason Brant is upset, and exactly how my husband managed to score such an amazing deal last minute.

Brant is pissed off about our spending too much to send him on a “fancy” vacation. To set the record straight, Rhys nabbed their flights for super cheap, and even managed to get them on our flight. It leaves from Grand Rapids, with one short layover in Dallas to pick up more passengers and top off on gas. Though the normal rate is nearly two grand, it cost us less than a fourth of the original amount. Combined with their hotel rooms—separate, I might add—we spent barely a hundred dollars over the two grand for an initial flight…for everything.

Basically, what I’m saying is, Brant can go suck an egg.

And if he doesn’t like it, he can suck a whole dozen—or go fuck himself, whichever he prefers. The asshole is coming to Cancun whether he likes it or not. Okay, I guess I’d like for him to want to come. A happy Brant makes me happy. When he’s brooding like he was when we gave him the gift, it upsets Rhys, and if it upset Rhys, it upsets me. I want everyone to enjoy their time in Cancun, regardless of why they’re there. If he wants to sit around at the bar and drink tequila all day, he can.

I’m on my honeymoon, so I know who I’ll be doing.

The man of my dreams comes strutting out of the bathroom, steam following him out. He’s wrapped in a towel with another in his hands, roughly drying his hair as he strides toward me.

“Hey, wife.” He smirks as he says it.

“Husband,” I purr back.

I’m not sure I’ll ever tire of calling him my husband. He’s always been my Rhys, first my friend, then my best friend and confidant. He was torn out of my life once before, and when we lost each other, I never thought we’d cross paths again. When I was running from Smith, I never for a moment believed my world would come crashing back into Rhys’. I am forever grateful it did though. He saved me in more ways than one. He claims I saved him, but we both know it’s me who was truly saved.

He could’ve kept working for Martinelli for life, and I doubt it would’ve made a true difference in the man he is underneath, the protective beast I know he is inside, the one he says was hiding, the killer he claims he was but deep down wasn’t. He only killed when he was in the army, never for hire. He wasn’t a monster—not like Smith.

“What’s spinning behind those lovely whiskey eyes?”

“Nothing much. I was thinking about how lucky I am to have found you again, and about how you called yourself a monster but truly never were.”

“Is that true?”

“Yep.” The word pops from my lips, and I know my one-word answer will bother him. Secretly, I want him a bit riled up.
