She looks over at me with a hand at the door. “I’ve been in heels since high school. I’m not going to fall.”
“Whatever you say.” I’ve quickly realized that sometimes it’s best not to argue with female logic.
We walk into the crowded bar. Tables and chairs are occupied by a combination of Kiera and Jonathan’s friends and family.
“Mia, Jake,” Kami calls out to us.
“Hey, girl.” Mia and I walk to our designated seats. Mia is beside Kami, while I’m beside Jonathan.
An couple hours, food, a lot of booze, and some hilarious speeches later, we’re enjoying a late night of celebration. Mia and I are on the dance floor, dancing to a song sung by a woman about loving the fact someone calls herseñorita. I move my hips with hers.
“Do you have any idea how much I want you right now?” I growl in her ear.
“I could take a wild guess,” she teases.
Hell, yes. “All this wedding stuff, and you in this dress, has me hard as hell for you.”
She smiles a coy smile before kissing my lips.
She rests her head on my chest. I notice Nathan in the corner—talking up a petite blonde wearing a bright blue pantsuit and heels. Whatever charm he’s trying to put on, she’s clearly not buying it.
Huh. That’s interesting.
“What’s the deal with your brother?” I ask Mia.
She turns her gaze to her brother. “Nathan? I’m not sure.”
“Who’s he talking to?”
“I think that’s the wedding planner.”
I’m curious to know more, but the stopping of the music, followed by a tapping of glass, grabs my focus away from the interesting pair.
“Everyone, can I have your attention, please?” Jonathan calls everyone to attention with the DJ’s microphone in hand. “Thank you.”
He then passes the microphone to his bride-to-be. “Thank you to everyone who came tonight and who will be at the ceremony. We are so grateful for you to be in our lives, especially now. With that said, we have an announcement we’d like to share.”
Perhaps my best friend couldn’t keep control of his excitement because then he grabs the microphone from her hand. “It’s a boy.”
I hear gasps throughout the bar, followed by claps and words of congratulations. I look over toward the soon-to-be newlyweds at a smiling Mia.
Caressing Mia’s face, I guide her to my gaze. She leans her head against my touch before slowly meeting my eyes.
“I love you,” I tell her.
“I love you, too.”
I don’t know what the future holds for us. But I sure know we will be together along the way.
See Nathan Knight conquer love when he takes on a feisty female who challenges his bachelor status - and his heart.
