Chapter 12

The food at the reception was wonderful, and the bride and groom were finally getting to eat some of it. Casey watched Lauren leave Jim standing in the middle of the dance floor and sighed. Another mission blown all to hell, he decided, when Jim put his hands in his pockets and walked away.

When Casey felt Alexa’s arm link with his, he turned to look into his wife’s concerned face. “Have I ever told you how much I appreciate your don’t-give-a-damn approach to life? You are a hell of a woman. In a sick and twisted way, I’m a little sorry you and Gallagher didn’t hook up a little more when you dated. You might have influenced him to abandon his puritanical views.”

Alexa looked at her new husband, sure she had not heard him correctly.

“Did you just tell me on our wedding day you wished my list of lovers had been longer? Why couldn’t you have mentioned this yesterday when I could have rectified the situation?” she asked, laughter crinkling the lines by her eyes, despite the perfect makeup. “And since when are you so magnanimous about sharing me? What happened to all that you’re mine stuff?”

“Try flirting with someone today and I’ll show you where it is,” Casey said, glaring but laughing too. “Maybe I’m just feeling a little guilty for taking you off the market in your prime.”

When she laughed and didn’t get mad at him, Casey was relieved. Progress, he thought, smiling back at her. They were both coming to terms with each other’s strong feelings.

“Prime? At fifty?” she said on a laugh. “You should have seen me twenty years ago.”

Casey shrugged a shoulder. “I see that every time Jenna comes to visit. I prefer the older, more settled version. Besides, I like having more sexual energy than you do. I need the edge to keep an experienced woman like you interested.”

“Interested? I’ve lost ten pounds since we’ve been sleeping together. I get to eat anything I want now. That alone is worth marrying you. The only complaint I have is you do get a little rough sometimes.” She took a sip of champagne and licked her bottom lip, while he looked longingly at her mouth. How Casey could arouse her at her age with just a look was something she still hadn’t figured out.

“I won’t be rough tonight,” Casey promised, his gaze watching her tongue as it stroked across her lip. “I have something special planned for my new wife. It’s going to take a very long time.”

“Oh? How intriguing, tell me—oh damn. Speaking of Jenna, her date is over there talking to Seth. Can’t you have a talk with Allen about not flaunting his relationship with Jenna in front of Seth?”

Casey looked over at Allen and Seth and snorted.

“Allen is Seth’s damn personal trainer now at the gym. Don’t ask me to get in the middle of that cluster fu—I mean mess. I’m not planning to buddy up with your old flames. That—” Casey said, nodding with his chin to the two men, “is beyond my understanding.
