“What did she say to you? I hate this sad look in your eyes.”
“Nothing I’ve never heard before. Kiss me and then get us another drink. Surprise me with something fun.”
He delivered on the first, making her rethink the idea about going upstairs, but not to collect herself from the showdown with her mother. To have his wicked, delicious hands on her body making her scream with pleasure.
When the kiss ended, he stood up, giving her another adorable wink. “You’re going to love this next drink. It has a crazy name, but it’s damn delicious.”
She had no doubt whatsoever on both accounts. She couldn’t wait to try it.
And erase the memory of her mother’s dead-eyed stare and harsh words.

Brick watchedas Jezebelle took a sip of the drink he set in front of her. She had eyed him funnily, her eyes narrowing and her lips turning down. Probably by the twinkling of laughter in his eyes and the devious wink he had given her. She had worried it would taste gross. He’d never give her a drink that went down rancid.
“Mmm. Pineapple, for sure. This is delicious. Which I had no doubt it would be. Tastes like juice. Is there even any alcohol in it?”
“There is.” He leaned closer, licking her neck before nipping the bottom of her ear. “You looked slightly worried there it would taste gross.”
“Why did you look at me so weird?”
Brick peppered more kisses along her neck, not giving a shit they were in a room full of people. This woman was now his wife. He would never get enough of her, and nothing would stop him from showing her how much he loved her.
Plus, it was fun to tease her.
His lips stopped near her ear. “Because of the name of the drink. Dom even winced when I told him to make it for you. It was slightly uncomfortable for both of us.”
Her head twisted enough so she could look him in the eyes. Her lips were less than an inch away for him to claim.
“What’s it called?”
“Panty ripper.” His lips brushed against hers. “Just wait until we get upstairs.”
He nearly jumped in his seat when her hand landed on his hard cock. He hadn’t been prepared for that and he wasn’t sure why. Probably because they were in a room full of people and Jezebelle usually tried to blend in with the crowd, not stand out.
“Oh, I can’t wait,” she whispered against his lips as her hand rubbed against him, making him wish they were alone and he could rip her panties off without restraint.
“Yo, get a room, you two.”
Corey’s voice penetrated the small bubble he had thought they were in. He swiped another kiss before backing away from her. Her hand disappeared from his lap and he wanted to groan from the loss.
“It is your wedding night. We’d understand if you want to enjoy the rest of the evening alone,” Gabby added.
“Not yet. We’re having fun here, and Brick ordered me a new drink.” Jezebelle took that opportunity to take another sip.
“What is it?” Jaxson asked.
The question obviously embarrassed her and she coughed as the drink went down wrong. He rubbed her back, smiling, but wisely kept his laughter inside at her discomfort. Hell, the question was a little awkward for him as well. It was one thing to tease Jezebelle and get the mood set up for tonight, it was another thing to share it with his friends.
“Well?” Dane prompted, waving his hand for one of them to share.
“Oh, it’s just a little coconut rum and pineapple juice,” he replied, unable to say the name of it out loud. He never thought he’d be embarrassed to say the name of a drink.
“A panty ripper. Not subtle at all what you’re looking forward to later, bro,” Corey boomed with laughter.
Everyone joined Corey, even him and Jezebelle. He should’ve known his brother would guess the drink by the ingredients. He did own the bar with him, after all, even if he hadn’t been in the picture the last three years.
Which was going to change.
