Maybe they could reboot their weekend together. It would be so easy to fall back into old habits with Luke. Just for a couple of days. A couple of fun, sex-filled days with Luke might be just what she needed to get out of her head and relax.
“Yes, I know, Luke. Maybe we can reboot our weekends together. It might not be such a bad idea.” Abbey held her breath, wondering what he would say.
His mouth fell open. “Really? I think that’s a great idea. But before we reboot, I want to have a chance to explain that night, Abbey.”
Abbey got angry all over again. They didn’t need to talk about that fateful night ten years ago. It didn’t matter. They were over and a reboot weekend wouldn’t change that fact.
Before she could tell him she didn’t want to rehash the past, servers brought out the first course. He was right, though. She washungry and the food at Antonetti’s was wonderful. She joined in with everyone else tapping their glasses and laughed when Jake placed a napkin over his and Cassie’s faces while he kissed her.

Luke couldn’t believe Abbey had finallyagreed to let him explain what happened the night she walked in on him. He was confident once he explained what happened she would find it in her heart to give them another chance. He was ready to pick right up where they’d left off. Fuck a reboot weekend. Luke was looking for a lot more than a weekend. And he had every intention of getting it. He would not stay on the ropes any longer.
Luke filled Abbey’s and his plate with chicken carbonara and Antonetti’s chopped salad. The room quieted down as everyone started eating. He couldn’t help but wonder about her secrets. He’d overheard a little of the voicemail message she’d listened to and then immediately deleted. It sounded like a work issue. And it was not like her to ignore a work issue even though she had taken a few days off because of the wedding. In a way, he was glad she ignored the call. From what Cassie had told him, OSG needed to hire at least one additional person to help Abbey with the amount of work they dumped on her. They were just too cheap to do it.
As the first course bowls and plates were being cleared, Luke leaned over to her. “While we’re waiting for the main course and side dishes, let me explain what happened that night real quick. I want to clear—”
Abbey shook her head at him. “No, that’s not necessary. It was ten years ago. We’ve both moved on, right? Let’s enjoy our dinner and have some fun tonight, okay?”
No. That was not okay with Luke. The prospect of getting between Abbey’s legs again had his cock getting hard, but he was determined to clear the air first before fucking her later. And he would fuck her later, over and over until he had his fill. He had ten long years to make up for.
Luke looked out at the guests as he enjoyed his chicken marsala, made with Antonetti Vineyard’s own blend of sweet Marsala wine. He’d been looking forward to dinner all day. The chicken was moist and a perfect companion to the sweet flavor of the Marsala wine, and the sliced mushrooms were an excellent finish to the dish. He glanced at his Uncle Darren’s table and his uncle seemingly sensing him looking, turned to him and nodded. Luke smiled and nodded back, trying to keep his feelings about Darren’s recent diagnosis pushed aside. There’s nothing that can be done about it right now anyway.
“All right folks, as you can see, the sweet table is just about ready for everyone. Enjoy,” the DJ announced.
Luke felt Abbey perk up next to him as the servers finished setting up Antonetti’s Signature Sweet Table. He couldn’t blame her. Antonetti’s served up some delectable desserts. Not as delectable as his sweet princess’s pussy though, he thought to himself. He’d be eating that later. Luke would make sure of it.
“I’m so ready for dessert,” Cassie announced beside Luke.
“Me too, babe,” Jake agreed.
Luke turned to the happy couple, love and joy radiating from both of them. “Jake, you making sure your baby mamma’s well fed?” Luke whispered.
“Damn straight.” Jake laughed and kissed his bride on the cheek.
Abbey made to get up and get dessert, but Luke guided her back down to her chair. “How about I get us something and we can share?”
Luke held his breath, not sure what she would say.
“Thanks, that sounds … nice.”
Jake had shared the evening’s menu with him, so Luke knew which items were on the sweet table. “There’s cheesecake, taffy apple pie, brownies, those mini dreams with chocolate dipping sauce, lemon pound cake, tiramisu, and assorted cookies.”
Abbey smiled her angelic smile and Luke’s heart swelled. God, he loved her. “Yes.”
“Me too—all that sounds perfect,” Cassie agreed beside him.
Jake stood with Luke. “I’ll go with Luke and get some of everything for us too,” Jake said to Cassie.
“Get extra.” Cassie grinned and discreetly patted her tummy.
Luke leaned over and called over to Heath. “We’re getting desserts to share with the ladies. You want to come along and get some for you and Leah?”
It hadn’t escaped Luke’s attention that Heath and Leah had cozied up during dinner. He hoped Heath took Jake’s suggestion about pursuing a relationship with Leah to heart. Luke’s oldest brother deserved some happiness in life too. What was the point of making out of Afghanistan alive to then end up alone?
Leah looked at Heath expectantly, waiting for him to answer. Heath offered a small smile and nodded. “Yeah, sounds like a good idea.” Leah’s smile warmed Luke’s heart. Maybe there was a chance for her and Heath after all.
As the three of them approached the dessert table, Rocco rose from his seat next to Hannah and joined them in line. Luke was relieved someone had the forethought to stack larger dinner-sized plates in addition to smaller dessert plates.
