He takes off his bright red pirate’s cloak and tosses it to the crowd. I’m pretty sure at least three girls are in love with him from his dance moves alone. I shake my head and Gunner sighs. “I feel like the responsible one. It’s kind of an itchy feeling. Should we stop him?”
“Only if he tries to get Sophie on the table with him,” I decide.
“Or if he’s going to fall,” Gunner agrees. “How is our wife?”
“Satisfied,” I say, then give Gunner a wicked grin. “For the moment.”
Gunner nods and winds through the crowd to find her. One thing’s for sure, Sophie’s not getting any rest tonight. She’ll need until Sunday to recover from the fun, the sex, and the night we have ahead for her.
I do a tour, saying hello to people, getting Holden – now down to just his pants with dollar bills in his pants – off the table, and then see Sophie making out aggressively with Gunner. One of her thighs is wrapped around his waist, despite the fact he has on a floor length cloak as a king.
I wouldn’t be surprised if they were actually having sex right here and now. I glance over and see the time, midnight. I call the party’s attention and Holden motions to the table with a drunk smile.
I climb up and see Nick turn down the music. I still have to raise my voice. “Alright! It’s officially midnight. That means everyone has thirty minutes!”
People boo, but I wave my hands. “We’re not as young as we once were and I’m going to need the whole weekend to recover. There are two bars nearby open til three or four!”
Nick turns the music back up and when I look to where Sophie and Gunner were, they’re gone. Sophie and Valerie hug even as Chase is trying to throw his wife over his shoulder.
He finally gets her up there and she waves to Sophie. “I love you!”
“I love you too! Let me know when you get to the hotel.”
Lief nods. “I’ll make sure you know.”
I grab Sophie’s ass. “You’re going to be very busy the second this place is empty.”
“Oh, the mess.” She looks around.
I lift her chin and as our eyes meet, I see understanding bloom there. She trembles. “I’ve already come like-”
“Doesn’t matter. We all want more than a piece of you, Bambina.”
As soon as the stragglers walk out close to one a.m., Sophie starts working back toward her room, daring us with her eyes to follow. No one could resist that look, certainly not us.
“You get a five-second head start,” Holden says.
“What?”
“Anything you don’t want ripped off you?” I ask.
She gasps and takes off up the stairs. Gunner takes a step forward. “I think that’s five.”
Because none of us can wait to get our hands on her, especially since we have nothing to do tomorrow but love her.
“Ready or not!” Holden yells.
“Here we come.” Nick darts up the stairs first, but the rest of us aren’t far behind.

SOPHIA
Iwake up the next early afternoon with a pleasant warmth around me. I slowly open my eyes, thankful I didn’t have anything to drink. I could only imagine the hangover. Gunner’s head is on my chest on one side, Holden’s head is on my thigh, both his arms wrapped around one of my legs on the other side. My head is on Roman’s chest since he’s somehow above me and Nick ... where is Nick?
I make a soft sound in my throat and fingers run through my hair. I look up and see Roman smile. He greets me in husky Italian. “Good morning, lovely wife.”
Giving him a sleepy smile, I rub his cheek. “How are you feeling?”
