“Let’s swim now,” she says, her eyes dancing with suggestion.

I groan loudly and lean back.

“We can’t … yet.”

“Why not?”

I rub the back of my neck.

I really should have done this alone.

“We sort of have a party to attend.”

“I don’t even know whose party it is,” Shay says, now reaching for the bottom of her dress.

It pains me, but I place my hand on hers to stop her from undressing.

“It’s our party.”

“What?” She freezes.

“Come on.” I grab her hand and tug her back to the new building. “Everyone is waiting for the future Mr. and Mrs. Asher to join them.”

She squeals and then takes off at a run, pulling me with her.

She bursts through the door and holds up her left hand. “Luca Asher is off the market!”

Then she leans into me, kissing me once more before our friends and family swarm us for hugs.

Our eyes lock over her mother’s shoulder, and the biggest smile touches her lips.

Then she mouthsmy office, five minutes.

I grin and nod, knowing it’ll be nearly impossible to sneak away right now.

But when it comes to Shay, whatever she wants, it’s hers.
