Jake, Rocky, Smitty, Big Ron, Pretty Boy, and Snape were just a few of the names that were thrown out
. It was totally overwhelming. My head was swimming as I turned my head back and forth, taking everyone in. That’s when I realized that their vests had patches on the front with their names on them.
I breathed a sigh of relief and muttered, “That makes it easier.”
“What?” Cade said, leaning down with his ear toward me.
“Oh, nothing,” I replied, my face reddening as I hoped that no one else had heard me talking to myself.
Get it together, Lila, I chided myself. This time, keeping my voice in my head.
Cade pulled me to another group, and began the introductions again. This happened three more times before we were close enough to the keg for him to ask, “Want a beer?”
“Yes,” I practically shouted, causing him to grin at me again. Warmth filled me at how happy he was, introducing me to his “family.” I felt tears welling as I realized Bea was right; this was a big step, for him and for me. He was finally letting me fully in to his life. No, I hadn’t met his family in Hawaii yet, but these people had been his family for over twenty years.
My heart pounded and my eye twitched as I took in my man in his element, proud and happy to have me on his arm, and I knew without a doubt that I was a million percent, ass over feet, in love with him.
“Are you okay?” he asked, stopping to take my face in his hands.
I figured my eyes were wide and teary, and I probably looked like I’d swallowed a sour grape.
I’d been in love before, and I’d been burned … bad. But, I trusted Cade, and I knew he was more than the best sex I’d ever had. He was the best man I’d ever met.
This wasn’t the place to tell him I was in love with him, but I could convey my feelings another way.
Reaching up, I put my hand behind his neck and fisted his ponytail in my hand, then I simultaneously pulled him toward me as I lifted up on my toes, and kissed him with everything I had.
It didn’t take long for Cade to take over, slant his head, and move his hands to gather me even closer, the thick ridge of his cock pressing deliciously against my stomach. What I’d meant to be a sweet declaration of love quickly turned into a passionate embrace, and I became vaguely aware of the whistles and catcalls surrounding us.
Cade pulled back slowly, his lips meeting mine one more time, before his hot eyes were on mine and the fog began to clear enough for me to realize we had an audience. A loud, rowdy audience, who wanted us to give more of a show.
I blushed and stepped back, then moved toward the keg and began filling a plastic cup. Once the heat left my cheeks, I turned to Cade and offered him a beer, my pulse pounding at the look of promise on his face.
I blew out a deep breath, then breathed in, trying to calm myself down for a different reason, and I pulled myself a beer.
I heard a male voice come up behind us, ribbing Cade for his public display.
“Didn’t know you had it in you, brother,” the man said, a smile apparent in his voice. “I been waitin’ years for you to find a woman who could make you forget to be tall, dark and mysterious for once.”
Cade didn’t respond, so I turned to see him shaking his head, a wry grin on his lips, then looked to see if the man was someone I’d already met, or if introductions were about to commence again.
The blood froze in my veins when my eyes locked on the man with long greasy hair and a full bushy beard.
The man from the bathroom, who we’d stopped from raping that girl. My eyes took in his vest, and I felt a ball lodge in my throat.
He was Cade’s VP.
“What’s this bitch doing here?” the man asked, his tone changing from teasing to menacing in a split second.
Cade’s body went tight, and he glared down at his VP.
I’d never seen him look like that before. It was a scary look.
“What’s that?” Cade asked, menacingly.
“This is one of those bitches I was telling you guys about. The ones at the bar who busted into the men’s bathroom after that chick conned me inside.”
Suddenly, I was thrust behind Cade’s body, and I had to peer around to try and see what was happening.
