His blonde eyebrow rose suspiciously over his beautiful eyes. “You sure?” She nodded.
He leaned in and touched his lips to hers again. She kept her eyes open this time but it didn’t stop the heat of Luka’s earlier kiss from flooding her senses. Damn. Skylar laid her hand on Tag’s chest to steady herself.
“Does Grammy have Ava?” He whispered.
She hated it when he referred to Luna Shaw as Grammy. Luna wasn’t his Grammy. It was dumb. Just plain dumb. “Yes she does,” Skylar replied.
“Want to stay the night with me tonight?” He asked.
Not a good idea. “I uh, she’s keeping Ava at my house.”
He stepped back. “Why? I thought she was going to Luna’s tonight.”
Skylar sighed heavily. She didn’t want to tell him. Not here. Not now. Not when someone might hear her. She didn’t know how much more drama she could take today. “Because Luka decided to come home.”
“What?” He nearly shouted. “What the hell does he want?”
“Look, I really don’t want to discuss this in the town square where somebody might hear us.”
“Fine,” he snapped. “Let’s just go to the dance.”

An hour into the dance she was bored as hell and sitting on a bale of straw off to the side watching Tag make his usual rounds. He was staying gone longer than usual because he was angry that Luka Shaw was home. He’d really have something to be mad about if he knew that Luka had kissed her.
“Why is a pretty girl like you sitting here all by yourself?” Brett asked her perching on the straw beside her.
She glared at him over her shoulder. “Don’t you have some little barmaid with big breasts to torment?”
“I actually was at the bar tormenting Ramona who also happens to have a really great rack.”
She rolled her eyes at Brett. “That is my sister’s rack you are talking about.”
“Why doesn’t she like me?”
“Because you’re an ass to her Brett and you say sexist things about her rack.”
“Spoken like a woman who loves me.”
“I do and you know I do but you are an ass to my little sister.”
“So Little mess’s mom why are you sitting here and not playing the mayor’s leading lady?”
“Because Mr. Mayor is pissed that Luka is home again. He is giving me the cold shoulder.”
They both watched him. “Come on,” he said.
“Where are we going?” Skylar asked.
“You’re two-stepping with me. Twinkle toes over there wouldn’t know how to dance if a fairy bit him in the ass and injected him with her best magic dust.”
“This is exactly why Ramona doesn’t like you,” Skylar told Brett as she let him lead her to the dance floor. “You like to cause trouble.”
They fell in step with everyone doing a perfect two-step. They had plenty of practice as they were always partners in gym class all through high school. His arm rested across her shoulders and he held her left hand. He twirled her in a perfect circle before she stood by his side again under the protection of his arm.
They continued with their footwork moving in circles at times, then dipping under each other’s arms as they circled each other. Then they were back in a normal pose, this time facing each other before he twirled her again and she was back to his side.
