Regent hadn’t wanted to wait to make her his wife. But all his siblings had already booked their wedding dates, and he hadn’t wanted to encroach on their big days. So they’d waited until now.
“I’d apologize for them all,” Mia said, approaching them. “But then I’d spend all my time apologizing and you must be used to us all by now.”
“I am,” Jilly agreed with a grin.
Mitch smiled at her from where he sat on Flick’s hip, his face covered in chocolate.
“Someone has been having fun,” she said.
“Yes, he found his way to the cupcakes.” Flick grinned. “I need to go clean him up.” She walked off with Mia, joining Hannah and Lara.
These Malones were a lot.
But damn they were also fun.
“Lottie, sit down,” Nico ordered. “You’re not supposed to be walking around.”
“I’m fine,” Lottie told him. “Stop fussing. I’m sick of sitting. I just want to see Regent.”
“I’ll go get him and bring him to you.”
“No.” Lottie gave Nico a stubborn look.
Uh-oh. That was going to get her into trouble. Jilly adored Regent’s sister and the way her men took care of her. She knew that Regent would rather she lived close by so he could keep aneye on her. But Lottie already had two overprotective men telling her what to do.
“Lottie, do as Nico tells you,” Liam warned, walking over with a bottle of water. “And you need to drink this.”
Lottie pouted. “I wasn’t doing anything.”
“No, you’re going to sit down and do nothing,” Liam ordered. “That’s the whole point.”
“I’m pregnant, not injured or sick.”
“You’re precious is what you are,” Nico told her. He brushed her hair off her face as Liam helped her sit.
Lottie softened. “All right. But someone get Reggie for me.”
“Of course, baby,” Liam told her before turning away.
Lottie glanced up at her. “Can you believe these guys? Are they being ridiculous or what?”
“I think it’s sweet.”
Lottie gave her a wry look. “You wait until you get pregnant, then you’ll find out. I bet Regent is crazier and more overprotective than the rest of them all together.”
Hmm.
Regent walked over to them, lightly kissing her cheek. “All right, baby?”
“Never better,” she replied.
He smiled at her before turning to crouch in front of Lottie. “Are you all right, darling?”
“Yes, I’m fine. But Liam and Nico are being ridiculous. They won’t let me do a thing. I need you to tell them to stop. I’m not fragile.”
“Darling, if they didn’t treat you like delicate glass, I’d have them killed and move you back here so I could treat you like you’re precious.”
Huh. Maybe Lottie was right.
