“It was really good sex,” Ethan admitted. “I’m easy when I’m distracted by a few things. Those things are naked people—Chris, Gene, Elizabeth, and Callen. Who here doesn’t know she’s got one hell of a mouth on her?”
Wasn’t that the truth?
Well, except Gene.
“Well, either way, it’s nice to have a date night. Who’s dancing with me tonight?” Callen asked. “Any takers?”
Everyone raised their hand.
“I like when I’m this popular.”
Only, their party of four just became a party of five.
“It’s your dick, Callen James,” Elizabeth said, walking into the room.
All of them turned, and they were caught off guard. Elizabeth wasn’t in some ridiculously fancy gown. She was wearing a simple black dress, heels, and looked beautiful, but it wasn’t her norm.
As of late, she wore Marine red and gold in honor of their son, Koda.
They all stared.
“What?” she asked, turning around. “Do I have toilet paper on my shoe? Is my dress tucked into my underwear? Why are you all staring like that?”
There was a good reason.
The men were befuddled.
“Where are the sequins and fancy shit?” Callen asked. “You packed a different dress than that. I know, because I packed the jewelry that went with it.”
She was honest.
“Tonight isn’t about me. This award ceremony is about other people. I want to blend in.”
Ethan was staring at her, and in that moment, he loved her so much.
That was for him and Gene.
He knew it.
Heading his way, Elizabeth went into his body and kissed him.
“You look handsome. In fact, you all do,” she admitted. “I’m a lucky girl.”
Ethan rested his forehead against hers.
“I love you. Thank you,” he said softly, knowing she’d understand.
Oh, he didn’t need to thank her. She loved the nuts in this family, and what wouldn’t she do for them?
Going to Chris, she fixed his bowtie, even though it was perfect.
It was their thing.
“Look at my handsome doctor,” she said. “As always, nice bowtie.”
He grinned.
“Well, I know what my girl likes. Nice necklace.”
