They blink the lights to let us know that it’s time to head into the dinner. I help Lexie down from her bar stool and walk beside her toward the ballroom with my hand resting on her lower back. The dress makes her luscious ass look even more amazing. My groin tightens, my fingers wind around to the side of her waist and squeeze lightly. She reaches her hand back and runs it along the front of my thigh. Another inch and she’d be palming me.
A small groan escapes my lips before I can stop myself. She glances up at me and smiles, her face mischievous. I raise an eyebrow at her. She blows me a kiss.
Oh, this is going to be fun.
My phone buzzes as we enter the ballroom. It’s my dad letting me know they are headed down now. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t a little bit worried about how this is all going to go down. Until I remember that I’m supposed to have Mavis with me anyway. I decide the best plan of action is to meet them and bring them with me to the table.
“Hey, sweetness, I’m gonna go get Miss Mavis and escort her down, I will meet you at the table, that okay?”
“Of course,” she says.
“We’ll take care of her,” Remi says with a wink. The girls head into the ballroom, and I turn back toward the elevator bays to wait for my parents and the grandmothers.
Deep breaths.
It’s going to be fine.
