“I really am sorry about what happened when I was in Lubbock,” Penn said over the music.

“Honestly, it was for the better. Bad timing, but it got it all out there.”

“I felt so bad about it, so I got him wasted.”

I laughed unabashedly. There was something about Penn. He gave off diverging vibes. I could tell that he was a good guy, but then sometimes, I’d see his eyes slide to mine or a smile touch his lips, and I’d take it all back. I’d met guys like him in college. The ones who could charm your pants off with a glance. He was a wild card.

“It’s really fine.” I put my hands over my head and circled my hips to the beat. “Are you and Katherine…”

He raised his eyebrows. “Together?”

“Yeah. You seem compatible. Like…really easy around each other.”

“We’ve been friends since we were children,” he said and left it at that.

“Ah, like David and Holli.”

Penn frowned. “Oh, yeah, that was a tragedy.”

“It sounds like it.”

I dragged him a little deeper into the crowd. I could feel people watching him. He was that attractive. When Annie had first seen him, I’d thought she was going to faint.

“Well, are you dating anyone?”

“You interested?” he joked with a wink.

“My best friend thought you were hot,” I offered.

He laughed. “Currently unattached.”

“She’ll be glad to know that. Are you coming back to Lubbock for Jensen’s wedding next weekend?”

“I’ll be there. Are you going to play matchmaker?”

“Oh God, no,” I told him on a chuckle. “You couldn’t handle her.”

That devious smile returned. “Try me.”

For a split second, I could see that maybe even Annie would be out of her league with a guy like this.

David appeared then at my shoulder. “Mind if I cut in?”

I snapped my attention away from Penn and up into David’s smiling face, thankful in that moment that I’d snagged the one nice guy from the Upper East Side. “Please do.”

Katherine’s arm slithered around Penn’s waist and up the front of his suit. “Hello, lover.”

David drew me into him until our hips touched as we swayed to the music.

I wrapped my arms around his neck. “I missed you.”

“Didn’t fall prey to Penn in the meantime?”

I shook my head. “Was thinking of how lucky I was that I got you actually.”

“That is not the normal reaction to Penn Kensington.”

“Well, I see that your sister is enamored with him.”

“Always has been, but it’s one-sided.”

But, when David spun me around and pressed himself up against my ass, I let all thoughts about Penn and Katherine flutter out of my mind. His hands were on my body. His lips against the shell of my ear. Our hips moving in a rhythm I was well aware of.

We refilled my champagne glass endlessly while we danced to the pulsing of the music and soaked in the aura that encompassed New York City. I knew that I was going from tipsy to drunk to wasted when my movements became slow, and I felt like I was about to fall over at any minute, but I was having the time of my life.
