No way am I peeing out here in the wild like an animal. I remember seeing a long row of those blue, portable bathrooms far away from all the tents.

“I’m going back inside. They had port-a-potties.”

“You would rather use a port-a-potty than go in the grass? Those things are disgusting.”

“I’m not an animal,” I huff before I hurry away as fast as my staggering legs will take me.

I make it to the empty john at the end of the row without a second to spare. That champagne went right through me, making me piss like a racehorse for several long minutes.

I’m lighter and feel so much better when I zip up, then step outside in the cool night air again. I’ve just rounded the corner, headed back to the parking lot, when an arm comes out of nowhere, grabbing me by my throat from behind to stop my boots in their tracks.

The next thing I know, my back is being slammed into the plastic potty I just used. I hit so hard it rocks behind me.

“What the…”

A snarling face appears right in front of mine as his fingers readjust and tighten their hold on my neck. “Who the hell are you?” he asks.

“Ah…nobody?” I croak.

He eases up the pressure of his fingers when I swallow hard. “Nobody? Good one. Try again.” The guy is standing so close to me that I can’t see anything but a blurry, unfamiliar face. The scent of his minty gum is strong every time he speaks.

“My name is…Ryan. I’m a friend of the bride’s.”

Eyes that look inky black in the dark narrow. “Liar. I didn’t see you at the wedding ceremony.”

“I was running late.”

“I don’t think you’re a guest. I saw you sneaking around the liquor tent earlier.”

“Right. That’s because I work for the liquor company.”

“What are you really doing here?” he growls like he’s losing his patience.

“Ah, taking a piss?”

“What are you doing here, at the reception?”

“Nothing. I just wanted to see what was happening and had to piss.”

“Do you know whose wedding this is?”

“Uh-huh.”

“So, you know it’s the daughter and best friend of the president of the Devil Hounds MC?”

“Right. I knew that.”

“So, you know Isaac?”

“Sure. Everyone knows Isaac Perry.”

“So then how about I drag your ass over to him to say hello right now?”

“Ah, no, thanks. He’s probably busy.”

“Give me one good reason.”

“A reason for what?”
