I do a visual sweep of the room.This place brings backmemories.It’s only fitting that Zeus has his wedding reception at MountOlympus.I throw a glance to “our” corner and know my cheeks are flaming red asI remember Ethan finger-fucking me under the table at the fundraiser.I shiftin my chair as arousal spreads through my body.It’s bad enough that Ethan’sbeen grumbling about leaving for the last five minutes.
“Me, too,” I tell him.
“Huh?”
“I said me, too.”
“What are you talking about?”
“You said you can’t wait to get out of here… and I said me,too.”
“Casey, I didn’t say anything.”
“I’m not deaf—”
“No.I didn’t say it… but I thought it.”
“What do you mean?”
He cocks his head to the side and regards me carefully.
Are you reading my mind, minx?
Oh, my God!I heard that!He didn’t speak, but I heardhim!
And I just heard that.Holy shit!
Fuck.I can’t believe we can read each other’s minds.Is hedoing it now?
“Yes, I am.”
“Well, stop!”
“I don’t know how!”
Ethan….
It’s okay.We just have to take this one day at a time.We’ll learn together.
Okay.
What can I do?It’s not like I can stop thinking.Can youdo it with anyone else?
No… just you.Who knows?Maybe that will come later.
“Ladies and gentlemen, it’s time for the first dance.Joinme in welcoming Mr.and Mrs.Ethan McKenzie!”
The voice of the Master of Ceremony brings my focus back.It’smy wedding day, and I won’t let anything ruin it, goddamn it!
“That’s my girl.”
Ethan takes my hand and leads me to the center of the dancefloor as “our song” begins to play.I step into his arms, gazing into hismagnificent chocolate eyes.This is exactly where I should be… where I’m meantto be; I know it, because he’s thinking the same thing.He leans in, placing agentle kiss on my lips.
I love you, Ethan.
I love you, Mrs.McKenzie.
***Ethan***
