Page 54 of Wanting the Winger

I turn slightly in front of Mara’s full-length bedroom mirror, admiring the fit of the fitted, floor-length sapphire gown I’m wearing.There are sparkly little crystals sewn into the bodice, trailing away past my waistline.The strapless cut emphasizes my full breasts, as does the hundred-and-ten-dollar bra I bought.I didn’t own a strapless one, and this one pushes my breasts up perfectly.

“You just have amazing boobs,” Mara says.“That dress is lucky to be touching them, and Bash will be, too.”

I laugh, giving myself one more appreciative look before I turn to face her and Suki.“This must be what a wedding day is like.Where everyone knows you’re having sex that night.”

“Not my wedding day,” Suki quips.

“Really?”

“Long story, but we hardly knew each other.I fell for my husband after we were already married.”

“I want to hear that story at some point if you’re okay sharing it.”

“Of course.”

Suki looks like a goddess in a red halter-cut gown that hugs her curves just right.Her long hair is styled in big waves and she’s waiting for Mara to do her makeup.We decided to go full high school and get ready together at Mara’s apartment.

Mara is wearing a short, black-sequined dress.Her dark hair, which she usually wears flowing down her back, is straightened and styled in a French knot at her neckline.She’s a walking thirst trap, and I don’t know how she’s still single.

I didn’t know what to do with my hair, so I let Mara decide.She put loose curls in it and then did a half-down, half-up style I love, with loose pieces framing my face.I don’t think I’ve ever looked so elegant.

Mara has a two-bedroom apartment, and she has a lighted vanity for hair and makeup in one room.She works on her own makeup while Suki and I slow dance.

“I’d dip you, but I’m not very coordinated,” I say.

“I’m saving all my fanciness for tonight.Carter and I have been practicing theDirty Dancinglift.”

Mara gasps, meeting Suki’s gaze in the mirror.“You whore!You already married a pro athlete and got three beautiful girls with zero vaginal stretching, and now you’re doing theDirty Dancinglift?”

“Nobody puts Suki in a corner.”She grins and twirls me beneath her arm.

“At least I can dance with Dex,” Mara murmurs.“Harry’s going to be all wrapped up in his boyfriend all night.”

“I can’t wait to meet him,” I say.

“Same.”Suki does a sexy pose in front of the mirror.“You guys, I’m wearing crotchless undies for the first time.I sent my husband a photo of the bra and panties lying on the bed before I got dressed and he responded with a GIF of a cartoon dog with its tongue rolling across the floor.”

Mara groans.“Just keep rubbing the salt in.You guys are both getting railed tonight and I’ll be alone with my overworked vibe.”

I laugh.“You’re gorgeous.If you’re not getting any, that’s a choice.”

“Right?”Suki says.“Carter has single teammates.”

“Ugh.Who, Leo?Hard pass.”

She finishes her makeup, then does mine and Suki’s.We take a selfie of the three of us and I send it to my mom.Then we relax over a glass of wine until there’s a knock on Mara’s door.

My heart pounds as we all stand up.

“It’s for you,” Suki says.

She and Mara go into Mara’s bedroom, leaving me to answer the door.When I do, Bash is standing there in a perfectly fitted tux.He’s clean-shaven and his hair is tamed.This Bash is so much...broader and filled out than the high school guy I crushed on.He’s all man, the affection and desire in his eyes directed at me.

“You look incredible.”He slowly rakes his gaze down my body and back up again.

“Thanks.”I take a deep breath, trying to calm my racing heart.“So do you.Come in.”

He steps inside, a boxed corsage in hand.“Why are you already blushing?We haven’t gotten to that part of the evening yet.”
