bump. I love having this little person inside of me. But he or she does not make it easy to feel sexy.
“Yeah. That’s true. And speaking of naked, Cass, where is the rest of your dress?”
I raise a brow at her low cut backless dress that barely covers her ass and she gives me back innocent wide eyes.
“This is it. What? Don’t look at me like that, Ali. This might be a girls’ night out, crashed by the boys, but you two are getting laid tonight guaranteed. You…” she picks up her glass and points it at Lindsey, “…you and Mason won’t even make it back to one of the rooms. He’ll probably jump you in the elevator. And the second Roamyn decides he’s had enough he’ll just swing Ali over his shoulder and let the whole room know exactly what he’s about to do.”
She chugs down the entire glass of champagne before setting it down. I scrunch my nose up, muttering, “I’m not quite sure the swinging over the shoulder thing will work with the belly and all.”
Lindsey answers at the same time as I do, our voices meshing together. “Mason would probably do that.”
Cass pulls her lipstick out of her purse from the nightstand. “Yeah, yeah, so my point is made ladies. I’d like to get some action too.”
She reapplies it in the mirror with a gorgeous gold frame, much like everything else in this hotel. Mason and Lindsey spared no expense for the weekend, we’re living it up in luxury in one of the finest hotels in Vegas. Now if I can just get through the next twenty-four hours without feeling nauseous, it will be perfect.
“So Trey won’t be getting lucky tonight?” I ask, Cassidy stops applying the shade of pink to her lips and her face contorts like I’ve suggested something foul.
“Not with me he isn’t.”
Lindsey comes up beside Cass, fluffing up her long loose hair before walking over to the door. “You’re hard on the guy you know. He likes you, Cassidy.”
Yeah, he really does. He might flirt with everyone—men, women, hell it doesn’t matter—but when Cassidy’s in the room, he only has eyes for her. Neither of them will admit what the whole lot of us already see. I slip on heels I know I’m going to regret wearing in about two hours.
Cass tucks her lipstick away. “I’m sorry, have you two met Trey? The man screws anything with a vagina and the only person Trey likes… is Trey.”
A laugh rumbles up my throat. “Yeah, that’s not completely untrue.”
Within a few minutes we’re grabbing the keycard for later and on our way to meet the guys.
Cheers rip through the bar as everyone watches the fight on the television, the excitement amplifying the vibes amongst the crowd. Everyone’s smiling, happy and ready to let loose. Mason, Elias, Trey, Oliver and I sit around one of the round tables in the back. A half-dressed waitress smiles as she sets down our drinks. Trey and Elias flirt with her when Trey hands her some cash for the drinks. Oliver, on the other hand, takes no notice of her and Mason’s too busy watching the entrance for the girls.
I put my drink up to the guys. “Cheers, boys. To Mason’s last nights as a free man.”
Our glasses clink together, the boys’ holler, their deep voices echoing around us.
I throw my arm around Mason’s neck. “Two more nights, brother. Two nights until you’re an old married man.”
I let go of Mase and we all fall back into our seats.
He smiles. “Wouldn’t have it any other way.”
Trey groans. “Dude. Enough with the sappy shit, Lindsey isn’t even here. And I’m not certain on this, but I’m pretty sure that’s not her thing. She’s kinda scary sometimes. All quiet and shit with her perfect smile, while secretly plotting my death when I make fun of her cooking.”
Oliver’s head tilts back as he laughs. “Oh man, you have no idea.”
Mason raises his voice over the growing loudness of the crowd. “She’s the most stubborn and challenging woman I’ve ever met in my life. Her attitude gets my dick harder than stone and now I get to marry her and have her in bed for the rest of my life. When you meet the woman that does that for you, Trey, you’ll get it.”
My heart burns and I think of Ali. He’s right. When it happens, you’ll get it. It happened to me when I least expected it. I didn’t recognize it or
