“Or he was scared stiff of the commitment?” Daniel parried as he put his arm around Meg and kissed her soundly.

“Don’t you spoil my fun.”

Daniel nuzzled her neck and whispered in her ear, causing Meg to blush beet red.

Usher’s DJ Got Us Fallin’ In Love Again began to play. “Dance?”

Autumn nodded. Taking her hand, Mitch pulled her to the middle of the dancefloor, and they began to move to the music. Watching her body move as she relaxed and let the music move through her was pleasure and pain. He wanted her so badly he could taste it, but more than that, he loved seeing the unabashed joy on her face as she laughed.

“You’ve got moves, Mr Quinn.”

“You sound shocked.”

“Well, you are getting up there in age.”

Her teasing made him chuckle as he snagged her waist. “You’re gonna pay for that later, Ms Roberts.”

Her laughter in his ear was his only response as she draped her arms around his neck and danced against him, her hips brushing his cock, making him groan.

As their friends danced around them, he relaxed knowing the company they were in understood what it was to let go when you had to stay so focused in everyday life with the danger they faced.

As Autumn leaned into him, putting her whole trust in him, his heart felt light as he also realised he’d fallen in love with the woman in his arms. They stayed that way until she lifted her head, eyes bright with joy.

“We should get a drink, I’m parched.”

Mitch grinned at her proper English and kissed her enjoying the way she wound her arms around his neck. Pulling back he took her hand and led her from the dance floor towards the bar.

As the moved through his friends he saw Zin and Celeste and stopped to congratulate the couple who looked beyond happy.

He shook the big Russians hand firmly. “You’re a lucky man, Zin.”

“Thank you. Yes, I’m the luckiest man in the world to have my Pixie.”

Mitch looked down at Autumn as she cuddled into him. “I think this room is full of couples that feel that way. We’re the lucky ones.”

“Yes. Yes, we are.”
