All I heard was a familiar shriek, and then I was smothered in pink organza and vanilla spice. Bunny grabbed me in a pincer hold and forced my arms to my sides. She screeched in my ear while bowling me over from behind.

I prepared a defensive stance, but as soon as the dress swamped my vision and I heard her excited, “OhmyGod, Cat! You look ah-may-zing!” I eased off.

Close up, the dress was like a giant cloud of shocking pink candy floss. She bombarded me before I could stop her. It lasted only seconds before Dom and Harry distracted her.

I turned when she released me, and my gut dropped as all my senses went on high alert — sirens blaring, warning lights flashing, everything telling me to ready the guns as Max approached. He was still wearing his leather costume from the stage. I hated the strong need to run my hand through his hair and bring him close to me.

Max inspected me, lazily running his eyes over every inch of my body. My nipples hardened as heat coiled between my thighs, up through my belly and lungs, wrapping around my thundering heart. My chest grew tight as the rage that had been simmering since he’d walked out onto the stage began to boil. I mourned the fact we no longer lived in times where it was acceptable to carry a blade like the one Max had left on stage.

“Harry, ohmyGod!” Bunny pounced on him, and he let out an ‘oof’ as he rocked back, trying to support her. Dom held back a laugh. “I have literally not seen you for years, like, years! Where have youbeen? Honestly, I would’ve said you were avoiding me, but I know you would never do something like that to me!” She slapped him playfully on the chest.

She got an eyeful of Dom before leaning in for a kiss. His nose wrinkled at the force of her perfume, but he still grinned and let her go on. We all knew the best way with Bun was to surrender to her onslaught and ride the wave of her babbling.

“You’re looking lush, as always.” She adjusted her pink shawl, making sure her breasts bounced right in front of his eyes.

Subtle as ever. Bunny believed all men were in love with her, no matter how gay they were.

“Fantastic, naturally.” He flicked his gaze to Max and sent him a nod. “I have to say congratulations on the engagement. You hooked yourself a good one. Unexpected, too.”

She ignored him, singling me out again. “And Cat! Darling! I knew that dress would look fabulous on you! You have such fantastic tits, it just makes them pop!”

I could sense Max looking, admiring, appreciating. Another slow lick of heat coursed through me as he surveyed the slit in my dress that rode high on my right thigh. I hated how responsive my body was to him. It didn’t stop me from wanting to slam my stiletto through his shoe. If he wanted to look, he should do it on his knees, begging for a piece of me.

Dom twined his fingers through mine and lifted them to his mouth, gently kissing the back of my hand, grabbing my gaze, and holding me with a lush smile, dimples and all. “You do look stunning, my love.”

Tension bloomed as all four of us looked at him in surprise.

Max’s eyes sped from our hands to Dom’s body to land on me, questioning.

Giving no one time to ask what the hell was going on, Dom curved a hand around my left hip and moved behind me, sliding my body into his, stroking our clasped hands down my torso to rest on my belly. His grip was possessive, his body tight against my back as he rested his chin on my shoulder. His thumb circled my wrist, keeping us connected.

“Bunny.” Dom’s deep voice rumbled through me. “Aren’t you going to properly introduce me?”

Max was stiff while Bunny beamed, seemingly unfazed, her eyes glittering at the fresh development.

“Wow! Dom, I totally forgot to bring Maxxy over when we were at your office! Though I wanted to keep it a secret until the big day!” Despite parading Max through the corridors when they were there.

“And this istheMax?” Dom nuzzled my ear as he asked.

I tilted my head, giving him better access.

“The very same.” my voice dripped with contempt, holding Max’s gaze.

Max’s eyes flashed. He knew what we were talking about. There was no way he couldn’t.

“And you are?” Max asked, holding out a hand for Dom to shake.

Dom smirked, ignoring Max’s offer as he slid our hands further down my stomach, dangerously close to the centre of the spiderweb concealing my pussy.

He gently bit my ear. “I’m a friend from work.”

I grinned, loving the stiff look on Max’s face. It was obvious what Dom was doing now, why he was giving off such possessive energy. I liked it. It felt like a warning that I wasn’t here to be fucked with.

“Interesting.” Max smoothly pulled back his hand, taking Bunny's and pretending he hadn’t been slighted. “Have you been together long?”

Bunny threw back her head and laughed loudly enough to draw the attention of nearby reporters. She playfully hit Max’s arm, still giggling. “Don’t be ridiculous, honey. Dom is the gayest man I know!”

I felt Dom’s arms tighten as he lowered his lips to my throat. “Did you hear that, baby? They said I’m gay.”
