In Bed With Her Shithead Boss (By Ellie Wynters) novel Chapter 325

Keira bit her lip as she hung up with her sisters, a feeling on longing washing over her. Alexei's hand moved to rest at the small of her back.

"They miss you," he said.

"I miss them too." She turned to face him fully. "Especially with Sutton's wedding coming up in a few weeks. I’m really surprised she didn't bring it up."

Alexei's brow furrowed. "You didn't mention that. I mean you did say she was getting married but not that it was coming up that soon."

Keira's eyes widened slightly. "I didn't? Oh God, with everything that's happened, I completely forgot to tell you." before adding, "Sutton and Luca are having their wedding ceremony in a month, but this is the big celebration they've been planning for. It would have happened sooner if Luca had his way. But Sutton went into premature labor with their son Miles."

Alexei studied her face, he could see how upset she would be not to make it. "And you need to be there."

Keira nodded in agreement. "She's my sister, Alexei. I'm supposed to be a bridesmaid. I can't miss it."

"Of course you can't." He said reaching up, to twist a lock of her hair around his finger. "We'll make it happen. No matter what."

"Really?" Relief washed through her. "You don't think your father will object? With all these public appearances scheduled and the engagement photos still pending?"

"My father doesn't control everything, despite what he might think." Alexei's voice was determined. "This is important to you, which makes it important to me."

Keira's shoulders relaxed slightly. "Thank you." She hesitated before continuing. "Would you... come with me? To the wedding, I mean."

"Try to stop me." His lips curved into a smile. "I'm not letting you escape back to New York without me. Besides, I should meet your family properly, don't you think?"

Keira's smile widened. "I think that would be perfect. Sutton would love having us both there. I just don't want to overshadow their day."

"It's settled then," Alexei said. "We'll speak with my father tomorrow and make the arrangements. We can schedule the official engagement photos before we leave. The sooner the better."

The thought of missing Sutton's wedding had been weighing on her more than she'd admitted. "Thank you. This means everything to me."
