“Oh!” Lily exclaimed. “That’s so clever.”

“What is?”

“They’re Lara Croft and Nathan Drake.”

Dinah turned around and pointed at Lily. “See, babe, I told you someone would get it.”

I laughed. “Wow, okay, that took me a bit. Have you guys met Lily?”

Dinah nodded. “I’m hiring her to do my taxes. I’m a writer; I don’t do numbers.”

“We met at Blaise’s housewarming party and again at one of your games,” Lily explained to me.

“Right.” I grabbed a beer from the fridge and gestured to Lily if that’s what she wanted, but she was already pouring herself a drink of the spiced punch sitting on the counter. “I’d be careful with that. Mac has a heavy hand.”

Rox, who could drink the entire team under the table, shrugged. “Eh. It’s okay.”

Lily smiled at them. “Oh, how cute. Morticia and Gomez! I love it.”

Dinah tilted her head and squinted at me. “Oh! You two are from Dragonspire.”

Lily beamed. “Yes. We play online together.”

“I’m a gamer too, but I’ve only played their single-player games. You like the online version?” Dinah asked.

I nodded. “It’s fun to just drop in and do a dungeon crawl.”

Noah poked Dinah. “No gaming until you meet your deadline.”

She rolled her eyes at him. “So strict, this one.”

I grinned. We all knew that was not the case. Dinah definitely was in charge of that relationship.

We chatted a little with the other couples until Lily asked me if I wanted to get out on the dance floor. We joined the other couples, and I laughed when I saw Riley and his wife dressed up like Beauty and the Beast. He was hamming it up by flexing his muscles, but Fi seemed to love it. I was surprised to see them out so soon after Fi gave birth to their daughter, but maybe she needed to get out for a night.

Lily and I danced together, grinding against each other, making it harder for me to contain my boner. Damn, was she hot in that little outfit. Nerd fantasy came to life, and she was grinding her ass against me like she knew it.

I pressed a kiss against her neck. “You’re killing me, princess.”

She didn’t stop. “What are you gonna do about it, big tough warrior?”

“Take you,” I growled.

“Uh huh. Where?”

I groaned. That was a good question. The kids were at my place, and we drove here with Blaise and Veronica. It would have been a dick move to abandon them.

She spun around, dancing in my arms, and had a glimmer in her eyes. She got up on her tiptoes and pressed her lips against my ear. “Car. Now.”

My eyebrows shot up.

“You got a condom?” she asked.

I nodded.

“We can’t abandon V and Blaise. Plus, I’m not taking you to my mom’s to have quiet sex in my childhood bedroom. Car or nothing, warrior.”

She didn’t have to ask me twice. We crept out of the party and toward my car. I paused, pressed her up against the door, and slanted my mouth on hers. She kissed me like she was desperate, like she had been waiting for me to do it all night. She was pliable as I licked inside her mouth, holding her firm in my grip, dominating her. I only pulled away so no one spotted us outside.
