As if I haven’t been thoroughly entertained already. While Laoise is wiggling in front of a shirtless Nate, Joe Black and his son John come out next, dressed in what I can only describe as black leather chaps with a glittering crotch. They are moving their hips in a jerking motion as they move forward—as if humping the air.
“Aye, ya have to be kidding me,” Ronan snorts.
“It’s not over, Mate,” Uri laughs.
That’s when Wyatt, Noah, and Ryan pop out dressed in white dress shirts and black pants. The shirts open at the top. Whenthey get to the front of the stage where Joe and John are, they tear their shirts away and then their pants. However, it’s when Joe and John turn to reveal their bare asses in the chaps that I double over in laughter.
All five begin the rocking motion Dean was trying to show Cass. Joe and John with their bare cheeks toward us while Wyatt, Noah, and Ryan are in glittering thongs. Cass runs up and slaps Joe’s ass before starting to wiggle around him.
I have tears running down my face; I’m laughing so hard. Even Ronan is laughing. I catch my wife’s eye and wink at her.
She’s always restoring the balance. This back-and-forth was never meant to be taken as disrespectful. Things just got out of hand last time.
This is the fun we’ve had with this in the past. I can see it as something we continue for a long time. Tasha winks back at me and mouthsI love you.
I mouth the words back with a grin and crook my finger for her to come to me. She comes down from the stage, saunters her way to me, then sits in my lap and wraps her arms around my neck.
“Told you we were going to be good.” Then she tosses a thumb toward the stage where the guys are still dancing, now joined by their wives. Ronan is even up there with Dean in his arms. “Now that, I wasn’t expecting.”
I palm Tasha’s face and capture her lips. A happy shout pulls my attention away from my gorgeous wife. I look up on stage and Ronan is on his knees as he kisses Dean’s belly.
“Danny getting a sibling?”
“I guess it’s okay to say something now. It’s really early, but yes. A test confirmed it this morning.”
“Should I bring in the albino?”
“No, I don’t think she’s planning on sitting down until this mess is over in Ireland.”
I laugh and shake my head. I should have known that would be the reply. I’ll make the call anyway. Ronan will have a much different opinion.
I get both sides, so I’ll cover them both. No members of the Alliance are ever left out to dry. We always have each other covered.
CHAPTER 41
Not Today
LaSalle
I sit scrollingthrough reports and drinking coffee as Tasha sits in my lap eating the bagel and fruit I had brought over to her. Placing a hand on her back, I begin to rub it absently.
“You have plans for today?” I ask as I turn my full attention to her.
“The girls have been talking about a volleyball game. The water is calling me. One way or another, I’m going to be out on the beach.”
“Sounds good. Maybe the guys will want in on the game. I’m game if I can get a team going.”
“Oh, you shirtless on the beach in shorts? I’m all for it,” Tasha says and wiggles her brows.
“In that case, I can’t wait to see what you bless my eyes with. I love these braids on you and the girls, by the way,” I say and reach to brush the little hairs at her temple.
I think she called the style boho braids after she and Karen got their hair done with them. Jess and Meg begged to have theirs done the same.
It’s cute how they have been coming to her to tie them up at night so the style will last. Although I don’t think theirs will be in much longer.
“Thank you. Jess and Meg are going to be heartbroken when I tell them they need to come down soon.”
“You warned them they wouldn’t last the entire trip and that you and Karen would have them for much longer than they would. If they give you any trouble over it, let them know I promise to bring someone in to do them again when we get back. That should keep the pouting to a minimum.”
