Hells yeah, I’m going to buy some kick-ass outfits for the twins to show their mama how proud I am of her!

I noticed when Heather whispered something into Josh’s ear. I saw his whole face blush.

Wow. That boy has it bad for her. There is no doubt about it. My little manwhore is no more.

When the DJ announced “Lady Marmalade,” Ellie and Amanda both let out, “Eeeppp,” as they headed toward the dance floor. I walked up to Heather and hooked my arm in hers.

“Let’s show these bitches how to really dance, like the sluts we’re not but they are,” Heather said.

Josh and Jeff tilted their heads as they just stared at her.

“Don’t listen to her. She’s just trying to be a badass.” I looked at Heather and smiled. “Baby steps, sweets. Baby steps.”

We walked onto the dance floor right when Lil’ Kim began singing. Ellie started dancing, and then Amanda, Heather, and I followed suit. I turned and smiled at Jeff as he watched us dance. Using my finger, I motioned for him to come and dance with me.

Jeff got up and walked right up to me. He grabbed me, pulled me right into him, and started grinding on me. I laughed as I watched Josh, Gunner, and Brad get up and start dancing with us.

Jeff laughed as he leaned in toward my ear. “Jesus, Amanda can move that pregnant stomach, can’t she?”

I looked at Amanda and smiled.

Ellie grabbed Jessie as she was walking by and dragged her out onto the dance floor. I looked around for Scott, but I wouldn’t dare go get him. Jeff would have a heart attack.

Then, I saw Heather run over and pull Scott out to the dance floor. She so strategically put him right next to Jessie. When Jessie turned around and saw him there, she blushed, and he smiled.

“Do you think Scott likes Jessie?” I asked Jeff.

He looked over toward them. As he turned back to me, he smiled.

“Yeah, I thought so, too!” I said.

Brett Eldredge’s “Don’t Ya” started to play. I watched as Josh grabbed Heather, and they took off two-stepping. Gunner picked up Ellie and spun her around before they went back to sit at our table. Amanda and Brad took off dancing.

I looked at Jeff and winked.

“I’m reading your mind, baby!”

Jeff walked up and took Jessie’s hand. “Two-step with this cowboy,” he said.

Jessie started laughing.

Scott gave me a smile and shook his head. “He’ll beat my ass!”

I laughed as he took me in his arms, and we started dancing.

Scott and I only danced around the floor one time before Jeff brought Jessie right up next to us. I saw Jeff’s smile a mile away, and I had to giggle.

“Partner switch!” Jeff yelled as he spun Jessie right over to Scott.

“Wait! What?” Jessie said.

Scott smiled and held out his hand.

The moment he swept her away, I jumped into Jeff’s arms.

“Take me home and make love to me, cowboy.”

“It would be my pleasure. Let’s blow this place, and take advantage of a free night.”

I raised my eyebrows up and down as he took my hand and led me off the dance floor.

Ellie smiled as we walked up. “Heading out, I take it?”

“Yep, but I have to piss like a racehorse again,” I said as I grabbed Ellie’s arm to go with me.

Heather came up behind me. “Oh hell, so do I. I’ll go, too.”

“Me, too! This kid, I swear, is camped out on my bladder.” Amanda kissed Brad before joining us.

While we started making a beeline to the restroom, Ellie and Amanda were taking bets on whether Heather or I would deliver first.

“That’s not fair,” I said over my shoulder as I walked into the restroom first. “Heather is having twins. She’s gonna pop before me.”

When I turned around, I came face-to-face with Rebecca. I instantly balled up my hands into fists. Then, I looked over at Victoria.

She looked down at Heather’s stomach. “You sure got knocked-up fast.”

I went to say something, but Heather stepped in front of me.

“Hello, Tori. Your eye healed nicely,” Heather said.

Victoria looked over at me and smirked. “So, how far along are you?” Victoria asked Heather.

Heather just stared at Victoria.

“I heard you and Josh were getting married. Did he get you pregnant and feel sorry for you?”

I saw Ellie coming up from the side, but Amanda grabbed her and started laughing.

“Holy shit, Victoria. This is your dark alley, sweetheart. If you were smart, you would just keep your mouth shut and take you and your lying whore friend here and leave,” Amanda said.

Rebecca let out a gasp and started to walk over to Amanda.

I stepped in front of Rebecca and pushed her back. “You take one step toward her, and I’ll make sure you’re limping out of here, you fucking bitch. I’m so sick of you and your bitch-ass friends doing nothing but causing drama. You lost.” I looked at Victoria. “You both lost something you were never even in the running for. So, move on, ladies, and go find your own men.”

Rebecca looked at me and laughed. “Come on, Tori. They’re not even worth it.”

Victoria started to leave, but then she stopped right in front of Heather and grinned. “I bet you’ve never even given him a blow job before, have you, Smeather?”

The next thing I knew, Heather reached back and then knocked the hell out of Victoria. Rebecca screamed and jumped out of the way. She looked at me like I was going to punch her. She stepped back and then took off for the restroom door.

Victoria grabbed her jaw and glared at Heather. “You bitch!”

Heather walked up to her and gave her a push, causing her to fall back into the sink. “If you ever so much as get within ten feet of me, Josh, or any of my friends…I’ll make sure I break your goddamn nose next time.”

I stood there, stunned. I looked back at Ellie and Amanda. Ellie’s mouth was hanging open, and Amanda had a smile as big as the Texas sky. I looked back at Victoria.

“Don’t worry. I have no intentions of being anywhere near you or your crazy-ass friends!” Victoria started to walk off, and she made sure to stay as far away from Heather as she could.

The moment the restroom door shut, Heather grabbed her hand. “Oh my god! Oh holy shit! I think I broke my hand!”

Ellie went running over and looked at Heather’s hand. “Oh no. It’s swelling. Josh is going to kill us!” she said.

“Oh. My. God! I’m getting married in two days, and I just broke my hand!”

I walked over and turned on the cold water. “It’s okay, sweets. It’s your right hand.” When I turned around with a wet paper towel, Ellie, Heather and Amanda were all staring at me. “What? It’s not like it’s her left hand for Christ’s sake.”

When we walked out, Josh was making his way toward the restrooms. He took one look at Heather holding her hand, and he ran right up to her. “What happened?”

“Oh my god, Josh! I punched her! You would have been so proud of me. I threatened her, too!” Heather said proudly.

Josh looked like he was stunned. He glanced over at me, and I just shrugged my shoulders.

“I think she broke her hand, Josh. We need to get her to the hospital,” I said.

“Wait. Who did you punch?” Josh asked as Jeff, Gunner, and Brad walked up.

“Baby, are you okay?” Brad asked Amanda.

“Oh hell, I’ve never been better! Ari told off Rebecca and pushed her against the wall, and then Heather pulled out her inner bitch and knocked the hell out of Victoria. It was one of the best moments of my life.”

I looked over at Jeff. The smile that spread across his face made the butterflies in my stomach take off.
Shit, I want him so badly.
I smiled and winked at him.

“My feisty mama!” Jeff walked up and grabbed me.

“Only you would get turned-on by that, Jeff,” Gunner said. He turned to Josh. “Do you want to leave and take Heather to the hospital in Fredericksburg?”

Josh smiled as he looked at Heather. She blushed as she started to laugh.

“My little Rocky!” Josh said. He kissed Heather, picked her up, and carried her out of the dance hall.

We all spent the rest of the night sitting at the Fredericksburg hospital while they X-rayed Heather’s hand. Heather quickly came down from her high when the idea of wearing a cast on her hand during her wedding hit her full force.

When Josh and Heather walked out, her hand was wrapped in just a bandage, and we all let out a sigh of relief.

“It’s just a bad sprain,” Josh said with a smile.

I glanced over toward Ellie, and we both laughed. It seemed like just yesterday when that had been Ellie.

Jeff stood up and walked over to Josh. He slapped him on the back. “Well, let’s get you two home and rested up. We’ve got a wedding in two days.”

“Whose idea was it to go out tonight? I’m never going to be able to drive to South Padre Island tomorrow,” Brad said with a yawn.

“Brad, are y’all sure you want to stay at the hotel tonight? You can stay with Heather and me,” Josh said as he looked back at Heather and smiled.

“No, dude. We appreciate it, but I got my girl a nice room at the Inn on Barons Creek.” Brad smiled at Amanda.

Josh grinned, looked around at everyone, and then took Heather in his arms. “Alright, y’all, let’s get some rest, so we can head out tomorrow. I’ve got a very important date with the woman of my dreams in a couple days.”

Once we walked into the house, I headed over to the sofa and collapsed onto it. I was so tired, so hungry, and so proud of myself for not beating the living hell out of Rebecca.

When Jeff leaned up against the wall and smiled at me, my heart dropped to my stomach, and I had to push my legs together.

I love him so much.

“No baby in the house, and it’s the middle of the night, so no Garrett knocking on our door.”

He started to walk over to me with nothing but pure passion in his eyes. He dropped to his knees and pulled me to him. After I wrapped my legs around him, he stood up and began walking us toward our bedroom. I put my arms around his neck and just held him as tight as I could. He smelled so good, and I just wanted to lick every part of his body.

He made his way over to our bed, and he slowly began to place me onto it. When I was lying down, I looked up at him and smiled.
He’s so damn handsome.
I still had a hard time believing he was really all mine.

He stood up and gave me the most smoldering look I’d ever seen. “Stand up, Ari, and take off your clothes. I want to watch you.”

Oh. My. God. I think I just felt a rush of water between my legs.

I got up and stood in front of him. He walked backward, sat down in the chair, and just stared at me.

You can do this, Ari.
I smiled at him. I wanted to turn him on as much as he was turning me on. I leisurely started to pull my T-shirt over my head. Once I had it off, I put my hands on my stomach and moved them up and over my chest and then around to my back to unsnap my bra. I never took my eyes off of him. I gradually took off my bra and dropped it to the floor. I placed my hands on the sides of my neck and slowly moved them down. As I started to play with my nipples, I watched as Jeff licked his lips and adjusted in his seat. I smiled, knowing that I was driving him crazy.

Time to step it up, Ari.
I gently moved my hands down and started to unbutton my pants. I slowly took them off and kicked them to the side. Then, I placed my hand into my panties as I used my other one to touch my nipple. I threw my head back and let out a long low moan.

“Motherfucker,” Jeff whispered.

I smiled as I heard him moving around. I snapped my head forward and watched as he started to undress. When I began to remove my panties, he stopped undressing to stare at me. I took a few steps back and got onto the bed. Lying down, I continued to touch myself.

The next thing I knew, he was crawling on the bed.

“Not so fast.” I held him up and away from me. I slid out from underneath him. “Lie on your back, Jeff.”

He smiled, and I’d never seen him move so damn fast in my life.

I got off the bed, stood at the end, and smiled at him. “Feel on yourself, baby.”

He lifted his head and looked at me, confused. “What?”

I glanced down at his harder-than-rock dick and licked my lips as I snapped my eyes back up at him. “You got to watch me touch myself. Now, I get to watch you.”
