“I haven’t hidden it.”
“You telling me this because you’re looking for my permission?”
“Nope, although that would save me a call when the time comes.”
He swings his face to mine, a grin playing at his lips. “You are an arrogant son of a gun.”
“I know what I want.”
“Not a man alive that wants to give away his baby girl. But if the time comes, you’ll do.”
I take a slug of my own whiskey to hide my smile. “Appreciate it.”
“You want something like this?” He juts his chin, indicating the elegance all around.
“I want what Rowan wants.”
He nods, going back to his thoughts.
“Something else?”
“What can you tell me about your new position?”
“I’m still MNPD. This is an assignment.”
“Is it dangerous?”
“Sitting in a cushy office building with air conditioning, reading reports, studying criminal profiles, and taking meetings. Least amount of action I’ve seen in twelve years.”
“Paper cuts are nasty injuries. Watch out.”
At this, I know he’s done.
Rowan’s squeal cuts through the air as Drake spins her. “Going to steal my woman before I have to lay out my best friend’s brother.”
“Hate to shed blood today.”
Rowan catches my eye, her smile wavering when she notes my mood. She mumbles something, causing Drake to focus my way.
The fucker has the nerve to smirk.
I prowl to them, stepping in and folding her to my side.
“Thank you for the dance,” she says to him.
“The pleasure is all mine,” he responds self-righteously, bending to kiss her cheek.
“I know how to kill a man without leaving a trail,” I growl.
Rowan gasps, and Drake openly laughs. “Fucking with you guys never gets old.” He slaps my shoulder as he leaves.
“That was beyond rude.”
“Have I told you how stunning you are?”
“Don’t change the subject.”
“Not fair to outshine the bride on her wedding day.”
