Her father led her through the steps of the dance as he spoke, “I have to say, I’m so proud of you, mija.”
“Thank you, Papi.”
“You have so much of your mama in you.”
The compliment was bittersweet. “I wish she were here.”
“Me too.” He spun her around. “Camila would be delighted to meet her grandchildren.”
Pippa chuckled.
“She’d be happy with who you chose, Pip. Mason is a good man.”
Her attention turned to her boyfriend who was dancing with Aspen, both of them smiling and laughing as he added his own flair to the routine.
“He’s the best,” she replied. Mason had proven his word true. Every day, he’d been there for her. And when the difficult moments came, he turned towards her rather than away. He was brave, just like he’d promised.
David, who now went as Danielle, walked over to Aspen, tapping on her shoulder. Danielle’s usually short hair was pulled back into a neat bun. She’d come out as trans to her mother just this week, from what Brynn had shared with Pippa.
Her father spun her closer to the teens and Mason as Rachel carried over two cups of punch to the friends. Rachel and Aspen had eased back into a friendship and were once again inseparable, along with Danielle.
“What?” Aspen’s jaw dropped open and her eyes rounded.
“My mom and Aaron are getting married,” Danielle said loudly and smiled.
Pippa gasped, pausing mid dance, and looked at Mason. His shoulders rose as if he were just as shocked by the revelation as she.
Brynn and Aaron weren’t even dating. Over the past year, she and Brynn had gotten closer, and as far as she knew, Brynn had no plans of even dating a man, much less marrying one.
What is that about?
She’d have to find out next week at the shop.
“May I cut in?” Mason asked.
“Yes, sir. I’m gonna go get some punch.” Her dad waved before he walked towards the buffet table.
Mason’s arms enveloped her, tugging her close. His clean aftershave tingled her nose. Shivers raced down her limbs, leaving goose bumps in their wake. As long as they were together, this feeling would never get old. His touch made her body hum with electricity.
Mason brushed the scruff of his beard over the crook of her neck before whispering kisses over her sensitive flesh.
“Mmm, you better behave yourself, Mr. Wright.”
His low chuckle reverberated against her chest. “You turn me into a beast, wanting you.” His fingers gripped her hips as he pressed his arousal against her.
Pippa gasped.
“What do you say we get out of here?”
Heat pooled in her center. “But it’s early, and Aspen won’t want to leave yet.”
His eyes lit with mischief as his hand trailed down over her ass. “Your dad can bring her home later.”
She turned towards the crowd before making her decision. “Lead the way.”
Thirty minutes later, they crashed into their bedroom. Her hands slipped under his suit jacket, slipping it over his broad shoulders and letting it fall to the floor.
Mason spun her around, his hot fingers probing behind the zipper on the back of her dress. Such a delicate touch made her quiver with building anticipation. Soon, those expert hands would be all over her, leaving no inch untouched.
