My brow furrowed. “What about the security staff? It would be embarrassing if they saw me.”

“I’m having a secondary residence built for them. They won’t be with us.”

I wrinkled my nose. “But I can’t walk around naked outside. They’ll see me.”

Oliver smirked. “Let me figure out the details. I want you in as little clothing as possible. Maybe we can take our honeymoon there.”

“Honeymoon? We haven’t even picked a date,” I protested.

He leaned back. “I spoke to Sebastian Wyatt, and the garden room at the SW in New York is ours.”

“What if there’s another event on the date we want? He can’t just bump them.”

Oliver smirked, stretching his arms on the back of the couch. “Sebastian owes me a favor. If we pick a date, that garden room is ours, no questions asked.”

I raised an eyebrow, intrigued. “How do you have that kind of pull?”

“Let’s just say it’s good to have powerful friends. So, when do you want to get married?”

“I’m not sure I’m comfortable with that arrangement. I wouldn’t want to be bumped from my dream venue. Can’t we just find a date they have an opening?” I asked, a hint of worry in my voice.

“They have nothing for the next two years, and I’m not waiting that long to make you my wife,” Oliver said firmly.

“At this point, why don’t we just elope? Find some little chapel and get married right away.”

“Ryleigh, don’t give me that option,” he warned, his eyes gleaming with a mixture of mischief and sincerity.

“Why?” I asked innocently.

“Because I’ll take you right now to get married.”

“Even braless?” I teased, a playful smile tugging at my lips.

“Even braless,” he replied, without missing a beat. “Pick a date for our wedding and Sebastian will see that it’s taken care of.”

“It has to be next year. I have so much to do. I have no idea what type of wedding dress I want or cake flavor to choose.”

“We’ll hire someone to handle decorations and schedules. We just need to choose food, cake, music, and a few other items. The wedding planner can help us with all that. As for your dress, Rachel and Rigo Vicaria are friends of mine. I’m sure they would be happy to make you the dress of your dreams.”

I squealed, “You know Rachel Vicaria? I just read an article about her in the New York Times. She’s probably booked solid.”

“They’ll make room for your dress,” Oliver said with a confident smile.

I stared at him, amazed. “You really have connections everywhere, don’t you?”

“It’s all for you, Ryleigh. I want you to have everything you’ve ever dreamed of.”

I threw my arms around him, burying my face in his chest. “I don’t need a fancy dress or a perfect venue. I just need you.”

Oliver kissed the top of my head. “And you have me, now and forever. But I want you to have the wedding of your dreams too.”

I looked up at him, my eyes shimmering with tears. “Thank you, Oliver. For everything.”

“Anything for you, my love. Now, let’s figure out a date so we can start planning our perfect day.”

“I want the summer, but we can’t go to the island during that season,” I said, contemplating.

“Why not?” Oliver asked, curious.
