Blue and Libby are setting up in the far corner and wave at me when they see me.
Gosh, Libby looks like she’s ready to explode.
Am I allowed to say that? I bet that’s rude.
But I know she’s due soon?
That makes me sigh. More diapers. At least I won’t have to change them.
As I restock, I take a quick tally of the other stuff I have to grab. Crap, it’s a lot.
By my second trip, Blue’s playing music and a ton more people are showing up.
It’s weird seeing it this busy.
The tequila and whiskey are full, but it looks like I need a case of vodka next.
Another round trip and I can barely weave through the crowd moving with the music.
Wade and his girl come through the entry just as I’m dodging some guys in slasher masks. It makes me bash the side of the box against his elbow.
“Sorry, Wade,” I mumble, making a hard right.
I have half the bottles unloaded when I catch a glimpse of bare legs in black stilettos under the kitchen entry.
“Sawyer? Come here.” Val’s finger appears above the gap, beckoning me to her.
Setting down the rest of the case, I push through, then freeze.
Every joint in my body is seized as the blood rushes out of my brain.
“You need a costume and this is all I could find.” She stands with her hip cocked and a pair of white wings dangling from her long nails.
But it’s what she’s wearing that has me panting.
She’s the sluttiest looking nun I’ve ever seen. Her full breasts push up with a tightly laced black corset that brings startling attention to the pale skin.
And her thigh-high stockings are fastened with tiny buckles to the smallest form-fitting body suit that exists.
I want to see if I can undo the latches with my teeth.
The thought that other men out there will set their eyes on her makes my stomach tighten.
Her full red lips turn up into a sultry smile. “Like what you see?”
Fuck. I’ve been standing here like a damn idiot.
Clearing my throat, all I can do is nod.
Her husky laugh shakes me from my stupor.
No.
Don’t do that, stupid.
“Uh, what did you need?” I have an insane urge to cover my crotch before she catches a glimpse of the effect she has on me.
Then she steps closer, a single finger reaching out and touching fire to the center of the chest.
