Page 81 of Forever Enough
My head turned to look at him. “You have.”
“Have I told you that I can’t stop thinking about last night?”
I felt my cheeks heat. “No, you haven’t mentioned that, and I’m glad you haven’t, since we’ve been with your parents and sister.”
He flashed me a huge smile. “I’m going to plan on us sneaking out early.”
“Before game night?” I asked with a mixture of relief and disappointment.
He laughed. “Oh, there is no missing game night. Another warning about that, though. Don’t let it bug you if…well…if things are said and voices are raised.”
“What?” I asked, frowning as I placed my hand over my fluttering stomach.
Bradly winked. “It’s going to be fun. Relax!”
Then he was out of the truck and walking around to my side as I felt the beginnings of a mild panic attack.
He opened the door and held his hand out for me, helping me down. We walked up the steps and through the door, into a beautiful open foyer that looked like something straight out of a magazine. The massive living room was in front of us, and to the left was a large kitchen, where some people were standing, a few sitting at the huge island.
To the right was a stunning double archway made of logs that led into the formal dining room.
“This used to be one of the original cabins on the ranch. Uncle Brock has added onto it a few times.”
“It’s beautiful,” I said as I looked around while Bradly took off my coat and hung it up. Reaching for my hand, he gently tugged me into the living room.
I glanced around as small groups of people held conversations. Until suddenly, all eyes were on the two of us.
“Oh, dear,” I whispered.
Bradly stood a bit taller and looked to the left of the room. “Mackenzie, you’ve met Uncle Ty.”
Ty tipped his head in my direction and flashed me a grin. Goodness, what was in the water here? Everyone was beautiful.
“It’s a pleasure to see you again, Ty.”
“Pleasure is ours,” he replied, as he put his arm around a beautiful older woman with blonde hair. “This is my wife, Kaylee.”
Kaylee waved. “It’s so nice to finally meet you, Mackenzie. Merit and Stella have talked about you so much.”
I felt my cheeks heat.
Bradly went on with introductions. “That insanely gorgeous couple right next to Uncle Ty and Aunt Kaylee is Uncle Tanner and Aunt Timberlynn.”
Waving, we exchanged hellos.
Then I was introduced to Blayze, who was Lincoln and Brock’s oldest son, his wife Georgiana, and their twins, Ryder and Rhett.
After that, I met Ryan and Morgan. Morgan was the daughter of Lincoln and Brock, and they had a little girl named Blakley .
Hunter Shaw was the youngest of Brock and Lincoln’s kids, and he was married to Kipton, who was very pregnant and shockingly beautiful. She kept one hand resting on her swollen belly and it was adorable.
Next was Rose, Ty and Kaylee’s daughter, and her husband, Bryson. Lily, Tanner and Timberlynn’s daughter, who was engaged to Maverick. He wore a cowboy hat and smiled as if he was the happiest man in the world. There had to be something in the water here in Montana with all the handsome men. Lily also had a hand on her stomach, and I couldn’t help but smile. I knew she and Maverick were getting married on New Year’s Eve, since I’d been invited. At my apartment, Avery had explained it was because Lily was pregnant and due in June, and they wanted to be married as soon as possible.
Last but not least, there was Joshua—who reminded me that he was single, to a chorus of groans. Then Nathan, Tanner and Timberlynn’s son. He walked over, took my hand, and kissed the back, taking a page from Joshua’s playbook. “If you ever tire of Bradly, I’m only a few—”
His words were cut off by Bradly pushing him out of the way, causing him to fall over an ottoman.
I gasped, but Nathan jumped up and declared he was fine. Glancing around the room, I realized no one acted as if their roughhousing was unusual in the least. A surprised chuckle slipped free from my mouth.
