I smiled and looked across the room to find DJ Summer, a good friend of Dirty’s, all set up at the far end of the dance floor. Long, dark hair, scarlet-red jumpsuit, big smile. She blew me a kiss as she turned the music back up, and everyone applauded forme.
I clung to Katie’s hand until she passed me off to Zane, who was waiting forme.
He took in my dress… and my bare legs… and the hint of cleavage bared by the deep V of my neckline, and he nodded in approval. “Holy fuck, Maggie. You clean upnice.”
I rolled my eyes. “Yeah. I really came in here inrags.”
He smirked. “You look fucking gorgeous. You always look gorgeous. I’d be happy to do this thing with you in those pink sweatpants of yours, if youwant.”
“No, thanks. I’ll keep the dress.” I did a little spin so the flared skirt did its thing and he got an eyeful of thigh. Plus the sparkly, sexyshoes.
His pierced eyebrow went up in a look of appreciation and pure sex. “Think you can dance in thosethings…?”
“Yes. I’m a professional. I can fuck in them,too.”
He pulled me up against his hard body and growled. “Careful what you wish for. We’ve got a lot of guests here, waiting onus.”
Then my eyes went wide. “Don’t tell me you’re actually planning to dance with metonight.”
“I might. Have a few things planned. Maybe a special song for you, later… First dance for the bride and groom. You know, after thevows.”
I stared at him. “What vows? I thought this was just a weddingreception.”
“It is a wedding reception. We’re already married. Doesn’t mean we can’t renew ourvows.”
I swallowed. “Uh… we’re renewing our vowstonight?”
“Yeah. I thought we could,” he said, kinda nonchalantly. But I knew this wasn’t nonchalant. I knew he’d planned the hell out of this. “If you want to.” His gaze moved over my face. “I don’t know about you, but the first time I was pretty nervous and emotional. Have a hard time remembering it all. Might be nice to do it again, with our loved oneshere.”
“Yeah.” I blinked at him. Just…wow. Was he for real? Who was this man? “Me too. I mean, I was nervous,too.”
He leaned in and kissed me softly, his lips just brushing mine. So soft… It was very possibly the sweetest kiss he’d ever given me, and I felt it all the way to my toes.Tingles.I was tingling allover…
“You’re not gonna be nervous and emotional this time?” I asked him, swallowing, feeling kinda nervousmyself.
“Emotional, probably. Nervous, no. This time, I’m not so afraid of losing you rightafterward.”
“Because you won’t.” I kissed him again, wrapping my arms around his neck. “I can’t believe you did all this forme.”
“For us,” he said. “Definitely wasn’t easy, planning a surprise for the girl who planseverything.”
“You did an amazingjob.”
“Yeah?”
“Yeah. I like your spontaneity, too… but it makes me horny when you planstuff.”
He kissed me again, his lips lingering this time like he wantedmore.
Much, muchmore…
“You think we could slip away and fuck without anyone noticing…? I’ll bequick.”
I groaned a little.I wish.“Maybe later. After I’ve had a chance to at least talk to everyone and thank them forcoming.”
And “everyone” was prettyaccurate.
Everyone who was important to me was in this room. Zane had managed to pull them all together, somehow, and I was incrediblymoved.
