“That’s definitely a prom thing. And I know I’m getting lucky. I scored us a room at the hotel and everything.” I hadn’t. I was taking her somewhere much better than a hotel room. Not that there was anything wrong with the hotel Club Onyx was in. After all, Mason owned it.

“As long as I end up in a hotel room with you instead of a different Untouchable, I’ll be very happy.”

“I am definitely not sharing you with James tonight.” My hands slipped to her ass. “Did I tell you how sexy you look in this dress?”

“Hey, lovebirds!” Rob said. “Get in the limo!”

Brooklyn grabbed my hand and pulled me into the limo. She sat down in the empty seat next to…James.Damn it.I put my arm around her shoulders. But I knew I didn’t have anything to worry about because James was oblivious to Brooklyn’s presence. Since he was currently making out with Penny.

I heard the laughter all around us. But all I could do was stare at Brooklyn. In just a few hours, she’d be my fiancée again.

“A toast,” Rob said. “To Penny. Happy birthday you sexy MILF.”

Penny stopped kissing James just long enough to laugh.

“And to Sanders. The oldest and newest addition to our family. Let’s party like it’s the early 2000s!”

Everyone cheered.

“Time for shots!” he said.

Yeah…now it felt a lot like our first prom. But I wasn’t planning on getting shit faced tonight. I wanted to remember every second of this.

Brooklyn nestled into my side and looked up at me. “You know, I never really pictured our prom. I was so focused on our wedding. What do you think our prom would have looked like?”

“A lot like this.” I gestured to our friends. “Although, it probably would have been my parents taking pictures of us tonight instead of the photographers I hired.”

She laughed. “Yeah, I can definitely imagine your mom wanting a thousand photos.”

I saw the unasked question in her eyes. Had my mom done that before? When I went to prom without Brooklyn back in high school?

“I barely remember prom,” I said. “I had too many shots in the limo with Rob. And spent part of the night sobbing in the bathroom.”

“No.”

“I wish I was kidding. I had to throw out my tux.”

“What do those things have to do with each other?”

“It was…wet.”

She laughed. “That makes it sound like you pissed yourself.”

“It was a lot of tears.”

“Maybe this one will be a bit better than that,” she said and smiled up at me.

“Just a bit?” I shook my head. “This is going to be a thousand times better than that. A night to remember for sure.”

The limo pulled to a stop in front of the Caldwell hotel.

Brooklyn looked out the window. “Why doesn’t Mason live in this hotel if he owns it?”

“The maids are always way too busy here,” Mason said with a laugh. “They’d never have enough time to clean my apartment too. My wife is filthy.”

“Hey!” Bee said with a laugh.

“What does that mean?” Brooklyn whispered to me. “That the maids are too busy?”
