Evan
Iwatch Rose as she heads back through the lobby, her high-heeled shoes clicking over the marble floor.
Damn.
I’ve known this girl, this woman, since she was thirteen. How in the hell did I not notice her before? Not notice her doe-like blue eyes, her thick hair—her even thicker ass? Jesus, theasson that woman.
That little yellow skirt she’s wearing flicks back and forth across the top of her thighs and I’m hit with an unfamiliar gut-punch of lust. I wonder what she’s got on underneath. Silk thong? Cotton panties? Nothing?
Fuck me.
I’m not normally like this. I swear I’m not. But this is the effect this woman has on me.
I adjust my shorts and stride over to the elevator, punching the button, which immediately opens the door. After stepping into the elevator, I turn around just in time to see Rose across the lobby talking to the concierge. She unconsciously reaches down and adjusts the edge of her skirt, inadvertently giving me a glimpse of her plump thigh. Fucking hell.
I jab the button to shut the elevator door.
It’s going to be a long weekend.
I spend the rest of the afternoon trying not to think about Rose. I stop by my parents’ hotel room to say hi to them—they flew in a few days early to make a vacation out of the trip—and after Courtney gets out of the spa, I briefly meet up with her. After that I hit the hotel gym and work the weights until my body is fatigued, then I head out to the pool to cool off for a while. After a quick dip in the water, I kick back on a lounge chair and slide my sunglasses down over my eyes and survey my surroundings.
The poolside is littered with a bevy of women in bikinis that vary in coverage. There are tanned bodies and sunscreen-oiled thighs on display across the entire pool. If I were a different kind of man, I’d revel in the sight of all this flesh.
But the only woman I can think about is Rose.
Short, plump, and sweet-as-honey Rose.
Fuck, how I’d love to sink my hands into that thick ass of hers and pull her onto my lap, bring her mouth down to mine, and—
Shit. Why am I doing this to myself? If I keep this up, my dick is never going to rest. Exhaling a sigh, I stand up and dive into the pool again to hide my hard-on.
I’ll admit it:I wasn’t fully paying attention when Courtney told me Rose was her wedding planner. I love my sister, and I’m all for marriage, but I’ve never gotten the big deal about all the extra stuff that comes with the wedding day itself.
And yet when I walk into the private dining room for the rehearsal dinner that evening, I’m damn impressed. There’s a long, elegantly set table and personal touches all over the place that makes the room feel like Courtney and Leon.
“Isn’t this gorgeous, Evan?” my mom says as I take a seat next to her and my dad. “Rose did such a wonderful job.”
I nod. “She did.”
I look around for Rose and see her circling the room, checking on everyone. She’s changed out of her floaty little skirt from earlier and is wearing a dark red dress that skims over every one of her generous curves. My hands ache, wanting to reach out and run them over the slopes and dips of her body.
Midway through dinner, someone who looks like they work for the hotel pulls her aside. I keep a casual eye on her while the two of them talk. She looks frustrated when the conversation is over, and I can’t help but excuse myself from the table to go check on her.
“Everything okay?”
She looks up from her phone, a little startled to see me. “Oh. Yeah. It’s fine. There’s just been a small change to the wedding menu.”
“Anything I can do to help?”
She gives me a curious look. “No. Thanks for offering, though.”
I nod and glance over at Courtney and Leon, who are beaming as they talk and laugh with their guests. “How are you feeling about all of this?”
“Good.” She gives her phone one more quick look, then lowers it to her side. “I’m a little concerned about the forecast tomorrow, but I’m sure it will be fine. It should only be a little rain, if any.”
“I was actually curious how you’re feeling about Court getting married.”
“Oh.” She smiles. “I’m thrilled for her, of course. She’s my best friend. And Leon is perfect for her.”
