I watch as she grabs her cell from her purse and sends a message, a response is quickly received.
She smiles. “I have a date when I get back home.”
“I’m still not sure dating Deacon when you’re in love with Blake is the right thing to do. Won’t you be hurting Deacon?” I hold my hands out when she turns and looks ready to snap at me. “Don’t shoot me. I’m playing devils advocate here.”
“I’m done wanting someone who will never see me the way I see him.” Shrugging she turns and I follow her back to the table.
“Thought we were going to have to send a search party after you,” Mateo comments.
I take my seat next to Sawyer and slip my hand into his, intertwining our fingers.
“I needed a minute,” Violet volunteers, and smiles. “And in that minute, I did what Blake suggested, and accepted Deacon’s date.”
The table goes silent, but Violet acts as though she doesn’t notice by looking through the menu. I’m sure I’m the only one who must notice the tremble in her hands as she keeps them tightly together on her lap.
Chancing a glance at Blake, his furious eyes are on the top of Violets bent head. His anger is palpable and it’s only when his sister nudges into him that his attention moves.
“What was that about?” Sawyer whispers into my ear, sending shards of pleasure down my spine.
“I’ll tell you later.” I kiss along his jaw. “Much later.”
His eyes darken and he lets me see everything he’s feeling; lust is there, but most notable of all is the love that shines back at me.
He slips an arm around my waist and as he nuzzles into my neck, oblivious to my family chatting around us, he whispers, “I have this fantasy of you in sexy lingerie.”
“Hmm, and what would I be doing?” I slip my hand to his thigh and slowly slide it along. I grin when he quivers under my touch.
“You’d be,” he chokes when my fingers graze his trapped cock, “bent over my desk.”
“Good to know.” I press against him before pulling away.
I smirk at the blush coating his cheeks.
“Can you two stop playing around over there and pay attention,” Kasey says, and laughs when Felicity nudges into him. He wraps an arm around his heavily pregnant wife and kisses her on the top of her head.
“We’re not playing around,” Sawyer says. “In fact, I’m very serious.” Raising our hands, he kisses my knuckles.
His love for me is there for anyone to see. “I love you.”
His smile is so wide that my belly flutters with the love that I’ll never be able to describe even if I tried.
“Let’s eat,” Diego suggests. “We need to celebrate your graduation in style.” He turns to the waiter. “Can you bring us a couple bottles of champagne, please?”
The waiter dashes away and everyone starts talking at once and as Sawyer starts whispering into my ear, I notice the sadness surrounding Blake. Violet seems to have changed since our talk in the restroom, but Blake...I just want to wrap him up and tell him he has nothing to be afraid of and to go for it with Violet. The sad part is that I don’t think he will as long as he’s in the wheelchair.
THE END
