He took her hand and led her off the dance floor, grinning as people showered them with applause and whistles.
He steered her to the bar and ordered two club sodas, his mind flashing back to the night he’d taken her out for drinks at the skybar. It was her first night in town, the beginning of their new journey together.
Her smile told him she was reliving the same memory.
They got their drinks and were walking past Hunter’s booth when Jupiter threw him a teasing grin. “Do you want me to teach you how to dance the bachata?”
Hunter chuckled. “Thank you, but no.” He looked toward Cynara and seemed to reconsider. “Maybe.”
“Over my dead fucking body,” Logan growled.
Hunter and Jupiter laughed.
Scowling, Logan possessively wrapped his arm around his fiancée’s waist and tugged her away.
She cooed sweet nothings in his ear as he led her up two flights of stairs to the club’s rooftop bar and patio. Several other people were already up there drinking and enjoying the view over the city. Viggo and Scarlett sat in a corner making out like horny teenagers, oblivious to everyone else.
Logan and Jupiter staked out a private spot at the rail and stood close together, quietly sipping their drinks under the moonlight. When they finished, they set their empty glasses aside and smiled at each other.
“Want another one?” Logan offered.
“No, I’m good.”
Logan moved closer, bending his head and dropping a kiss on her bare shoulder. When she shivered, he smiled before easing back to look at her. “Guess what?”
“What?”
“Landrieu offered Santino a front office job with the team.”
Jupiter’s eyes widened. “Really?”
“Yup. He’s been trying to woo him away from the Capitals for a while. He just offered him a pretty sweet deal that Santino is seriously considering. But he says it’s not just about the money. Now that we’re getting married, he wants to be around for us.” Logan grinned wryly. “He also wants to keep a close eye on me.”
“Thank God,” Jupiter joked. “I could use all the help I can get!”
Logan laughed and playfully squeezed her ass, reveling in her throaty laughter.
After a few moments, she sighed blissfully. “I’d love to have Santino here. I hope he takes the job.”
Logan smiled. “Me, too.”
Jupiter grinned at him. “You know what’s funny? On the way to the game tonight, my dad told me he’s thinking about applying for park ranger jobs in Denver.”
Logan grinned. “For real?”
“Yes! He loves the mountains and parks here.”
“No surprise. Colorado is an outdoorsman’s paradise.”
“That’s what he said.” Jupiter beamed. “Of course, the main draw for him is being closer to his family. Aunt Rosalie and Cam and I are the only family he has left. He wants to be near us, and the feeling is definitely mutual.”
“That’s awesome, baby,” Logan said warmly. “It’d be great to have your dad here. What about Trish?”
“She’s totally on board with relocating,” Jupiter said excitedly. “She’s always wanted to open her own real estate brokerage firm. She says moving here would give her the impetus to branch out on her own.”
Logan grinned. “Wow. Good for her.”
“I know, right?”
