By the time the B&G were on the dance floor, cake cut, and toasts made, all Arianna wanted to do was take off her shoes, strip off her dress, and take a long bubble bath.

“They look like they’re they only two people in the world,” Harper whispered in her ear, and she shuddered, his warm breath tickling her skin.

She licked her lips, trying to remember that this was Harper touching her, running his hand over her hip. This was her best friend, not someone she should be thinking naughty things about.

And oh were they naughty.

“They look in love.”

Harper brushed a kiss against her temple, and she froze. “Dance with me.”

She blinked and then looked over her shoulder. “I’m the wedding planner. I can’t dance at the wedding.”

Harper shook his head, then took her hand, pulling her onto the dance floor anyway. “A dress like the one you’re wearing deserves to be shown off. Your job is done. Colleen and the minions you hired for the day are taking care of the rest of the event, and after you dance with me, you’re coming home and resting.”

She raised a brow, falling into his arms for a slow dance despite the fact that she’d refused. “You don’t get to dictate my actions.”

Harper grinned, unrepentant. The hand at the small of her back squeezed, and she pressed her body against his in tune to the music.

“Your crew dictated, Ari. They wanted to make sure that you actually relax after your hard work. You haven’t truly been resting even though you’re sleeping more than before you started this business, and now that you’ve gotten one wedding—one amazing wedding—under your belt, you can breathe. Let the people you’ve trained and trust finish up. Relax. If only for a night.”

What he was saying might be true, but that didn’t mean she could give up control so easily. “Harper…”

“Only for a night, Ari.”

One night. She could do that.

Harper twirled her on the dance floor, and she laughed, letting her head fall back, feeling giddy and a little drunk. Though she hadn’t had a drop of champagne. The man in front of her, her best friend, did that to her, and from the knowing gleam in his eyes, they both knew it.

By the time she’d said her goodbyes and ensured that her staff was ready to go—twice—Harper was practically dragging her to his truck. She’d left her car with Colleen so her friend could not only have a ride home but also have all of Arianna’s backup supplies in one place. Arianna had picked her friend up on the way to the site with Harper since they hadn’t wanted to take up too many parking spaces at the small winery.

Her shoes in hand, Arianna made her way up to her doorstep, Harper on her heels. She turned toward him, the moonlight glistening off his hair, the dark and promising look on his face making her stomach clench.

“Thank you for the ride…and the dance.”

Harper nodded then cupped her face. She blinked, knowing what he was going to do.
