Logan and Meadow grinned and waved back.
“It’s so cool to see the grownups bonding,” Meadow said happily.
“Definitely,” Logan agreed.
She sighed. “I really hope Santino and Roxanne will reconcile someday.”
“So do I.” Logan smiled, watching his parents. “Anything’s possible, right?”
“Absolutely. Look at us.”
They shared a tender smile.
Their friends had staked out spots in front of the stage. They were all coupled up: Reid and Nadia; Nelson and Bianca; newlyweds Luke and Ana; Scarlett’s other brother Lennox and his boyfriend, Cooper.
Apparently Dubinski and Jess had kissed and made up last night. They were hugged up like the other couples, smiling and swaying together to the music.
When Logan and Meadow sidled up beside them, Jess grinned at her and mouthed excitedly, I got my man back!
Meadow grinned and mouthed back, Thank God! You were a mess!
Jess laughed.
Logan stood behind Meadow with his arms wrapped around her waist, holding her possessively close. She leaned her head back against his chest, savoring their connection. He rocked her gently from side to side as they watched Scarlett lead her band through the adrenaline-pumping songs.
The crowd roared with excitement when Viggo climbed onto the stage for the band’s chart-topping hit “A You and Me Thing,” which Scarlett had written about him. Stroking his golden beard, he slowly circled her as she sang to him with a sultry smile. When he stopped behind her and kissed the side of her neck, the women in the audience screamed and swooned. The guys hooted and wolf-whistled.
“God, they’re sexy.” Meadow sighed. “I wish I could sing like Scarlett.”
“Yeah? You sounded pretty damn good to me last night.” Logan’s breath tickled her ear, sending a jolt of arousal through her. “I had you singing and hitting all kinds of high notes.”
She grinned. “Very true.”
He nuzzled into her neck. “I can’t wait to finish christening our new house tonight.”
“That’s a lot of territory to cover,” she said with a breathy laugh. “We’ll need more than a couple nights.”
“Says who?” he challenged.
She could feel his erection pressed against the small of her back. “Really, Logan?” she said in a scandalized voice only he could hear. “Here? In broad daylight with all these people around?”
His low chuckle rumbled against her skin. “What can I say? He wants what he wants, and he doesn’t care where we are or who’s around. You should know that by now.”
“Don’t I ever.” She grinned over her shoulder. “Tell him I’m trying to enjoy the concert.”
“Sorry. He’s not listening.” Logan twisted her in his embrace so she was facing him. As she stared up at him, he caught her face in his hands and slanted his mouth over hers. She shivered with pleasure and parted her lips beneath his, tasting his needy groan.
The loud music and the clamor of the crowd receded until all she could hear was her pounding heart and all she could feel was the achingly sensual power of Logan’s kiss. Sliding her arms around his neck, she melted into him as his tongue curled around hers, dancing and stroking.
When the crowd around them cheered encouragingly, they laughed against each other’s lips.
“See what you’ve done?” Meadow breathlessly accused. “You’ve turned me into an exhibitionist.”
He laughed wickedly.
Suddenly she felt a prickling awareness on the back of her neck.
She turned her head and saw a familiar man and woman standing under a tree across the lawn. They had their arms around each other and were watching her with radiant smiles, their faces glowing with love and pride.
