Downstairs, the party is raging.

In my short absence, a troop of bare chested male fire dancers in grass skirts have appeared and are putting on an exhibition on the pool deck, spinning flaming swords and sticks into intricately woven circles of fire while doing some fusion of martial arts and hip-thrusting tribal dance moves.

I worry about the girls in the feather headdresses going up in exploding balls of flame, but no one else seems to care that they’re way too close to fire than people wearing highly flammable costumes should be. They weave in and out of the male dancers, shaking their asses and working the crowd into a frenzy as the music blares.

I catch a glimpse of Marcus’s broad back retreating toward the rave tent. He’s carrying a laughing Rihanna in his arms.

“If there’s one thing you can say about my man, he sure knows how to throw a party.”

I turn toward the sardonic voice. Standing next to me at the foot of the staircase is Kat, smiling wryly as she watches the scene. She glances up at me and her smile turns soft. “I’m thinking this probably wasn’t the greatest way to send you off.”

I sling an arm around her shoulder and give her a squeeze. “Don’t be silly. This is awesome.”

“Not really your style, though, is it?”

“Are you kidding? There’s premium whiskey. There’s my best friends all in one place. There’s fireworks, music, and good food. How could that not be my style?”

“Don’t forget the hot, half naked dancing girls.”

“They’re great, too. This is all really great, Kat. Thank you so much. I truly appreciate it.”

She gazes at me fondly, her pretty green eyes crinkling at the corners. “That’s one of the things I love about you, Barney.”

“What’s that?”

“The only time you ever lie is to keep someone else from getting hurt.”

I wave off the compliment. “Yeah, yeah. I’m amazing. How are you feeling? Better than earlier?”

“Tired, actually.” As if on cue, she stifles a yawn. “I must be getting old. I used to just be getting started at midnight!”

“You’re growing a person inside you. That takes a lot of energy. Why don’t you go up and go to bed?”

She looks around, shaking her head. “As if I could sleep with all this racket. God, what were we thinking?”

Noting the haze of smoke hanging in the air, the way everyone seems to be staggering on their feet, and the group of people writhing around half naked on the sofa, making out and groping each other, I chuckle. “The party does seem to have taken on a life of its own.”

“You makin’ moves on my woman, brother?”

Nico swaggers up, grinning, holding a cocktail in one hand. As she always does when she looks at him, Kat starts to glow.

I give her shoulders a final squeeze before releasing her into Nico’s arms. She wraps her arms around his waist and nestles against his chest, closing her eyes and sighing in contentment.

“I’m keeping her from getting hit on.”

I narrow my eyes at a guy strolling by who’s leering a little too hard at Kat’s ass.
