She still looks nervous. “I thought I had another year. I’m freaking out a little. Marriage. Bleh.”
Scarlett bites back a laugh, then Jade looks at me. “I’m sorry. I know you got engaged like three hours ago, so I don’t mean to be all anti-marriage over here. I am so happy for you and Tyler. You two are perfect together. I just thought I had more time, that’s all.”
“You can always say no.” Scarlett bumps her with an elbow.
“No. I’d be crazy to turn down this opportunity. The magazine is basically paying for my dream wedding, and I love Sam.”
I feel like there’s abutcoming; instead, she smiles. “It’s crunch time, ladies. Let’s plan some weddings!”
Jade makes me recap the entire proposal, then we do talk a little about weddings, but it isn’t long before Leo wanders over, followed by Tyler.
“Time’s up.” He kisses my neck.
Jade laughs good-naturedly. “Fine. Take your hot fiancées back. I need to go find my man and attach his ball and chain.” She gets a serious look on her face. “Where do you buy those? Target? The Container Store?”
“Ikea,” Leo and Tyler say at the same time.
A little later we escape the party and head home. We don’t make it all the way into his room before Tyler has his mouth on mine and his hands going for the button of my jeans.
Parties are the best foreplay.
Instead of taking my jeans off, he slides his hand down the front and inside my panties. The tips of his fingers brush over my pussy sending heat rushing to my core.
He deepens the kiss but doesn’t make any move to get us on the bed or undress me.
“You know you can take off my clothes, right?”
“Not yet.” His thumb drags along my clit. “I spent all night imagining how to get you off just like this.”
And get me off just like that he does.

We’re downstairs on the couch looking through pictures the next morning.
“Holy shit. This is you?” Ash asks Tyler as he picks up one of me and Tyler on the beach from that summer we met.
“He looks exactly the same,” I say.
“No way. I’m a good fifteen pounds heavier.” Tyler seems genuinely shocked by my comment.
“Okay, yes. You’ve added more muscle but look at this face.” I grab his chin and then kiss him.
When I pull back, Ash is watching us with a smirk. His tone is all sarcasm as he says, “Aren’t you two adorable.”
“Yes, we are.” I lean over Tyler and snatch the picture back.
He coughs and makes a face. “Whoa, Ty, my man. When is the last time you showered?”
My face heats, and Tyler starts chuckling. “It’s not me.”
“Throwing your girl under the bus?” Ash quirks a brow. “Real nice, Sharpie.”
“I’m serious.”
Ash leans closer again and then his eyebrows raise. “P. Vaughn. Wow.”
Tyler kisses me.
