Hugo, along with several of our Marine brothers, are circling us. All of them have the same shit-eating grins.
“Go away,” I demand.
“Not a chance.”
“I’m next.” Rand wiggles his eyebrows at Rowan. “Ready to take a spin?”
Rowan giggles, trying to loosen my grip. “I’m not sure he’s letting me go.”
“We can take him.” Hugo links his hands, cracking his knuckles.
“Please don’t mess up his tux. He’s very handsome tonight.”
“Handsome? Jesus. What the fuck? Have we entered a new dimension? Mad Jack’s ugly mug is handsome?”
Rowan’s face falls. “Is handsome an insult to Marines?” she whispers.
“No, babe, he’s fucking with me.”
Her pep returns. “In that case, I’d love to dance.”
“Don’t push it.”
“Tone it back, Romeo, and let your lady dance with your oldest buds,” Hugo goads. “We need to get to know this one.”
“You can get to know her without touching.”
“I could use a drink.” Rowan links her hand with mine. “Anyone else?”
“Hell yeah. Thank God Powers didn’t skimp on the alcohol.” Rand jiggles his empty glass. “Finest Kentucky bourbon.”
“That would be why my dad is on cloud nine. Uh oh…” she trails off.
I catch Shayla, Ginger, Harley, and my sisters stalking toward us.
“We need Rowan,” Addie announces.
“Why?” Rowan tightens her grip.
“We’re all taking pictures with Doobie before she goes back to the farm.” Shayla motions to the field.
“Doobie?” Hugo raises his eyebrows.
“The white mare,” Rowan explains.
“They named her Doobie?”
“Jewls’ brothers have a unique sense of humor.”
“Holy shit. I thought that horse belonged here. They brought their own horse?”
“She’s very special to Jewls, and it was important for her to be here.”
“Go take your picture and meet us at the bar.” I sweep my lips over hers.
“You sure?”
“Yeah.”
