waiter arrived with their wine. As the wine was being poured, Dean’s hands climbed higher up her thighs. Jenna felt her face flush and her whole body quiver with need. Dean exchanged words with the waiter, but Jenna couldn’t comprehend them, not with Dean’s fingers brushing over her damp curls. When she widened her legs, Dean dipped into her heat.
Oh. Good. God.
After the waiter left, Dean glanced at her. His playful grin turned wicked, his fingers pressed deep into her. Within seconds, she was on the brink of an orgasm. The man sure knew his way around her body.
“You’re a very naughty boy, Dean,” she managed around the lump in her throat.
“I told you that I couldn’t be responsible for my actions with you dressed like that.” His gaze went to her cleavage. He licked his lips. When his thumb found her clit and circled slowly, the world around her faded. She gripped the table and orgasmed right there. Her sex muscles clenched and pulsed around his fingers. She heard his soft growl of delight.
“God, that feels so good,” she said breathlessly.
“Well, well, what a surprise to see you two here without the rest of the bridal party.” The sound of a woman’s voice snapped her back to attention. Dean’s hand slipped from between her legs. Jenna straightened and smoothed her dress.
“Hello, Kate,” Dean said, annoyance in his voice.
Jenna glanced up to see Kate Saunders, the lingerie model. “Hi, Kate,” Jenna piped in and worked to keep her voice steady. “I’m so glad to see you’re feeling better.”
“Thanks.” Kate shrugged her thin shoulders. “I only had a mild case of food poisoning. Some of the other guests at the dinner party were much worse off.” Her mouth twisted like she’d sucked a lemon. Her hand went to her chest. “But after what I had to endure, the health inspectors had better stick to their word and shut down All Seasons Caterings.”
Jenna paused, wondering why that name sounded familiar.
“Do you two know each other?” Dean asked.
Kate eased her long, lithe body into the chair next to him. “Not really. I saw her hanging around The Hose with Cassie and the other bridal party members, and I was supposed to do a lingerie show for her the other night.” Kate flashed her lashes at Dean. “Would you like to formally introduce us?”
Dean glanced at Jenna. “Kate, this is Jenna Powers, my date. Jenna, this is Kate Saunders.” He angled his head toward Jenna, offering Kate his back. “Now, if you’ll excuse us, Kate, we were-”
Kate cut him off. “What he failed to say is, this is Kate Saunders, my girlfriend. Or rather, ex-girlfriend.” She put her fingers over her mouth. “Oops, excuse my slip.”
A pang of jealousy whipped through Jenna’s blood. Even though she had no claim on Dean, she still didn’t like the way Kate mauled him or threw around their past relationship, wearing it like it was some sort of badge.
Jenna stood, needing to go freshen up, needing a moment to pull herself together. “Actually, if you two will just excuse me for a second…”
“Jenna, wait,” Dean said.
“It’s okay. It sounds like you two have a few things to work out.” With that, she made her way into the washroom.
After splashing her face with water, and taking a few minutes to compose herself, Jenna dried her hands and turned to leave. With any luck, Kate would be long gone by the time she made it back to Dean.
As she pulled open the door, she came face to face with Kate. “Kate,” she greeted her, attempting to step around her.
Kate backed up, but didn’t let Jenna pass. Hands on hips, Kate panned her eyes over Jenna making her feel self-conscious in her revealing, body-hugging dress, with no panties beneath.
“No baggy pants and sweatshirts tonight?” Kate asked, a derisive twist to her lips. “Dean sure did a fine job with
