Free Get a Grip (Hollywood Nights) by Cara North Page B

been married to his brother for a good three and a half years, approached and put her well-manicured hand on his shoulder. She was leaning in for a kiss on the cheek when Ivy did something unexpected.
                  “Excuse me,” Ivy said as she possessively moved her hand next to Adele’s and then pushed Adele’s hand off his shoulder. Adele didn’t kiss him on the cheek. She stood up suddenly and looked a bit taken aback. Bo’s pride and cock swelled from the reaction. He liked that she was possessive of him. Ivy continued, “I’m sorry, but I don’t know you.”
                  “Well, I don’t know you either.” Adele retorted. She looked a bit bewildered. Her blue eyes darted around at all three of the brothers, but no one, not even Alex was going to help her.
                  “Yes,” Ivy acknowledged politely. “But I’m not touching your husband.”
                  “He’s my brother-in-law.” Adele clarified as she flipped her blonde hair over her shoulder. She had been making that move since Bo had forgiven them. He knew it was a way for her to constantly plant a seed of jealousy in Alex’s mind. “I was just saying hello.”
                  It wouldn’t be weird if any other in-law did it. It was weird because of their history. He could forgive. They could all forgive. No one would ever forget.  Ivy lifted her hand to Adele and said, “Hello. I’m Ivy.”
                  “Like they don’t know who you are sugar plum!” Gabe returned with a round of fresh drinks. “Our Bo finally landed the girl of his dreams.”
                  Adele made a slight snorting sound that went unnoticed by no one. Ivy, such a mild mannered woman who had never even played a role that caused her to pretend fight, looked like she was going to punch Adele. Bo couldn’t control his smile if he tried, which he didn’t. Alex put his arm around Adele’s waist and escorted her to a seat at the end of the table. They sat together like royalty looking down on their subjects.
                  From Bo’s point of view, their three amused and one murderous subjects. His brother and brother-in-law across the table were both just as happy to see Ivy react that way. He knew it was because they both disliked Adele for several reasons. After they were busted, she pretended to be pregnant and married Alex under that pretense. The fact that she was never pregnant was just one reason among others to dislike her.
                  Gabe winked at Ivy and said, “We are going to plan the most gorgeous wedding for you two.”
                  Dale perked up at the mention of wedding. Gabe worked for one of the largest event planners on the planet. They specialized in making the rich and famous look even more rich and famous than they were.
                  “Nothing crazy, guys. I mean it. Ivy has full veto rights on all of it. Don’t forget she has a mother and sister who might want a say in this too.” Bo slid his hand from the back of her chair to place it on her back. “Don’t let them include live animals.”
                  She laughed, and so did Gabe and Dale. Alex barely smiled and Adele visibly fumed.
                  By the time his mom and sister had made their way to the table to announce the food was done, Dale had been through a good portion of his act and everyone, including the statues at the end of the table, were laughing.
                  “That’s my boy.” His mom said. Bo smiled as his momma scruffed up Dale’s hair as she passed, and then leaned over to kiss Gabe on the cheek. “Hello gorgeous.”
                  Gabe smiled at the compliment.
    His momma had already greeted Ivy earlier and took a seat next to her at the table. “Sam, sweetheart, sit.”
                  His seventeen year old sister took a seat
