Page 85 of Anything To Be With You

"It does not. I don't have dead eyes." They all start laughing and I join in.

Dani turn against my arm. "Are you laughing?" she questions, tilting her head. All that honey blonde hair falls over her bare shoulder and all I can picture is all that hair fanned over my pillows, in my bed.

"Yeah," I answer.

"You can do that?" Dani questions.

Carrie snorts and Elle spits her Rum and Coke all over the table before they both break out in fits of laughter.

Tangling a hand in her hair, I lean in and say, "I'm a man of many talents. In and outside the bedroom." My lips brush the shell of her ear as I speak.

Her breathtaking eyes lock with mine and a slow smile grows on my lips.

"Dimples." Dani whispers.

"I want to see the dimples!" Erin yells, bouncing in her seat.

I turn and flash Erin a smile. Her face goes red and she ducks her head.

"Damn, dude." Jake says. "This is the first time I've seen my wife embarrassed by dimples."

Erin backhands Jake's chest. "Shut up. I'm not embarrassed."

"Then why is your face red?" Dani asks with a grin.

"Because I'm a redhead with pale skin who happens to be drunk and my face is showing it." Erin replies.

"But it didn't get that way until after Luke smiled at you." Elle points out.

Erin mock cries, crossing her arms on the table and dropping her head on them. "Why are you all picking on me!"

The girls burst out laughing, while Jake meets my eye and winks.

Dani's hand wraps around my forearm and squeezes as she tries to catch her breath. She leans her head against my shoulder and I drop a kiss on the top of her head.

"Erin, you're a horrible liar." Dani wheezes.

Erin whips her head up. "Am not. I am an excellent liar." Erin nudges Jake's arm. "I had him believing I was sweet and innocent for a good six months before the truth came out."

"I knew you were lying," Jake says with a grin. "Innocent girls do not do what you did the first time we had sex."

Erin's face turned a deeper shade of red. "I don't know what you're talking about."

Dani's hand shoots in the air. "I do! I do!"

"Don't you dare!" Erin yells.

"We want to know." Carrie says, flicking her hand between her and Elle.

Dani leans forwards, resting her forearm on the table. "Let's just say Erin is extremely flexible. You should see how high she can get her leg."

"Daniella Lynne, you shut your mouth!" Erin shrieks.

"She can kiss her knee," Dani tells us.

"While she's standing, I might add." Jake chimes in.

Erin punches Jake's arm, almost knocking him off his chair. "How did this turn into tell everyone Erin's dirty secrets."
