The slow song switched to a fast paced one and Bee gave me a bear hug, almost knocking me to the floor.
“Time to dance!” she screamed.
That was fine. I was happy to dance with her. As long as I stayed close to James all night. I didn’t want to leave him alone. Kristen would see it as a peace offering or something. And I didn’t want peace with her. I wanted her to stay away from my man.

I felt drunk even though I wasn’t. I just felt fucking alive. The sweat dripped down the back of my neck, and James’ hands were on my hips, pulling me closer.
I wasn’t sure how long we’d been dancing. But based on how overheated I was and how hard I was smiling? Probably a while. And I’d only had to practically shove Kristen away four times. Which seemed on the low side to me since James was looking fine as hell tonight.
I heard laughter and looked over at Justin on the dance floor. Tim was bent over in front of him and Justin was spanking his ass. I had so many questions. But it looked like they were all having the time of their lives. Including Kristen. Who was now spanking Justin’s ass. Maybe that was the threesome that was about to happen.
“Everyone is so drunk,” I said.
“Not me.” James’ hand swept over my stomach, pulling me closer. He nuzzled his nose into the side of my neck. “And I need you,” he whispered into my ear.
I tilted my head back so that I could see him. “Then take me.”
He bit down lightly on my earlobe.
I tried my best not to moan right on the dance floor. I expected him to pull me out of the tent. Especially since the song had just ended.
Instead, he spun me around so that I was facing him. I exhaled slowly as I stared up at him. Earlier today, I’d been terrified of this wedding. Like the whole world had been caving in on top of me. Like I couldn’t breathe. I exhaled slowly. But I felt so safe in James’ arms. James was the best thing I’d ever have. He was the best part of my life.
“Baby.” He ran his thumb beneath my eye. “You know it hurts me when you cry.”
“I love you,” I said.
“I love you more.”
I pressed my lips together. “Impossible.”
He ran his fingers through my hair. “Trust me, it’s possible. Whatever you’re feeling…I don’t know how it could be as consuming as what I’m feeling for you.”
“Our baby is going to have a best friend.”
James dropped his forehead to mine.
“This isn’t a slow song,” I whispered.
“It feels like one.”
Every song felt like a slow song with him. Like time stopped when our bodies were pressed against each other.
“Do you want to get out of here?” I said and looked up at him.
“You’re not scared we’re gonna miss something? They haven’t even cut the cake.”
“I’ve seen a cake cut before. It’s hardly momentous.”
James smiled. “In that case.” He stepped away from me and put out his hand. “Are you ready for the time of your life?”
I had no idea what he meant by that. But I’d always take his hand when he offered it.
Before he could pull me out of the tent though, Justin stepped in front of us. “Where do you think you two are going?” he asked.
“A walk,” James said.
