two months. He planned on changing that tomorrow at the wedding.
    It was about time they met, and if she was as hot as Fallon, then Phillip might need to find himself another prospect.
    Maybe there was another Parker sister.

Chapter 4
    If she had to hear “We always thought it was going to be you getting married first” one more time, she was going to kill someone.
    Audrey took a long sip of champagne. Maybe if she stayed drunk through the next couple of days, it wouldn’t hurt as bad. The jealousy would stay at bay. What kind of person was she to be jealous of her older sister, her best friend? It was disgusting, and she needed to stop that now, because Fallon was coming toward her with a radiant smile on her face and looking unbelievably beautiful. It was hard not to feel like the biggest piece of crap for being so envious.
    Fallon was holding Lucas’s hand, of course, and they both looked like they had just stepped out of some high-society fashion magazine. Audrey leaned against the railing and smiled at her sister as Lucas wrapped his arms around Fallon’s waist. They both grinned over at her. “I have a feeling you’re hiding,” Fallon said.
    Audrey laughed. “Your feeling is right. Those people are nuts,” she said, cocking her head in the direction of their family. “If I have to hear, one more time, that everyone thought I was going to be married before you, I am going to kill them … or myself.”
    Fallon laughed as Lucas looked at his bride-to-be. “I don’t see why no one thought you would ever get married,” he said to Fallon.
    She reached up to cup his jaw in her fingers. “When I said there wasn’t anyone else after you, I wasn’t lying.”
    Seeing his sudden perplexed expression, Audrey quickly said, “There really wasn’t, Lucas. Fallon was a real prude, while I was busy enough for the both of us.”
    A cocky grin crossed Lucas’s face, and he gave Fallon a sexy look before looking at Audrey. “You just haven’t found the right one yet.”
    Audrey eyed him before shaking her head. “Fallon told you Levi and I broke up.”
    Fallon look sheepishly at her as Lucas laughed. “She tells me everything.”
    “There was a time when that wasn’t true,” Audrey countered.
    Lucas continued to chuckle, his eyes full of love for her sister. “Things change, babe. It’s his loss.”
    “I just wish you’d let me hook you up with someone,” Fallon said. “There are a ton of guys on the team.” She meant the hockey team Lucas played for, the Nashville Assassins. Audrey knew the team. Hell, she watched and cheered for them on occasion. But she’d be damned if she was going to let Fallon hook her up on a pity date!
    Looking around the room, she reminded them, “I told you, I have a date.”
    “I mean a date of the adult variety,” Fallon said. “Aiden is sweet, but he is also your nephew, and he’s seven.”
    Audrey laughed. She loved Aiden more than she loved anyone in the world, other than Fallon. He was the perfect kid, her best friend. She had a special bond with the little booger since she’d basically helped raise him. She had always been his second person. That was, until Lucas came along, but again, she couldn’t hate Lucas for taking her family away. He was what they needed and she did love him. She smiled as she said, “Aiden will be the best.”
    Fallon shook her head. “Let me hook you up with Phillip, or even Sergi—”
    “No, not Sergi, he’s a man whore,” Lucas interrupted. “There is a new guy, Jakob Titov’s brother, Erik. He’s a good guy.”
    Audrey wanted to bash her head into the wall. Another reason why being single sucked.Everyone wanted to hook you up with someone. “I’m fine.”
    “I just wish Tate was a little older,” Fallon said, bringing Audrey’s attention back to her. “He is such a great guy, sweet as all get out.”
    Lucas nodded. “He really is. Best guy I know. Have you guys met yet? He said the other day he hadn’t met
