Always with the random facts.

And this is why I love her.

“And if I was a praying mantis, you would be eating my head right now.”

Her eyes grow wide, and she cackles out loud. “Well, for what it’s worth, I do look forward to having your head in my mouth.”

Jesus.

I smirk. “And I do look forward to putting it there.” Leaning forward, I lock my lips with hers in a few minutes of soft but sultry kisses and then pull back. “Babe, you can wrap your lips around my cock anytime you want, but we have a reception to get back to before someone realizes we’re missing.”

“Tonight then,” she offers.

I rub my nose against hers in a sweet butterfly kiss. “I should be so lucky.”

When Emily and I make our way back down to the party, Beckham and Hadley are still dancing the night away with their friends while Graham and Lacey and Asher are taking a drink break at our table. Emily takes a seat next to Lacey and I pull one out next to her. Asher sips his whiskey, but I can tell he’s hiding a smirk behind that glass.

“What?”

He raises his glass in a toast to me, smirking, and says, “Welcome back to the land of the vertical.”

___

Beckham:*Selfie on the beach* Greetings from sunny Oahu.

Graham:Fuckin’ lucky, man. B-town got another six inches of snow last night.

Me:Freezing rain here. The roads are a sheet of ice, but it’s funny trying to watch people walk the sidewalks to work.

Beckham:Beautiful here. I’m really enjoying the view. *pic of Hadley sunbathing*

Me:You better be calling her a nice view, or she’ll have your ass.

Beckham:Speaking of views…I hear one of you had a good one at the reception,

Graham:*picture of Graham looking to the left* That’s me looking at Emmett.

Asher:LOL

Asher:*picture of Asher looking to the right* That’s me also looking at Emmett.

Me:It was a lovely view. Thank you for asking. *smirk emoji*

Beckham:I had a feeling it was you. Bold move spilling the pickle juice in the hayloft.

Me:Uh, excuse me, but I’m pretty damn sure there wasn’t a drop left to spill when I was done. Thank you very much.

Asher:He was just dropping his kids off at O-town for the evening, Beckham. Give him a break.

Beckham:For the record, Hadley squealed when I told her. It’s about damn time you twomake something happen. I’m happy for you.

Graham:Same. Lacey couldn’t stop giggling.

Me:Emily will never know that y’all know. It’ll embarrass the hell out of her.

Beckham:Do you love her? Or was this just a one-time sex thing?

Me:What kind of question is that? Of course, I love her. I’m goddamn crazy about her.
