“Mason,” I whispered, dropping my head to his chest.
“Can’t Help Falling in Love” by Kina Grannis was playing. He’d remembered that I said I loved this song.
“When can we get married?” Mason asked.
Lifting my head from his chest, I smiled. “When do you want to get married?”
A wicked smile appeared on his face. “I want to say as soon as possible, but I don’t want to deny you a wedding.”
I glanced down to the right, and my heart nearly burst from my chest when I saw Charlie dancing with Lily. “Apple doesn’t fall far from the tree,” I said.
Mason followed my gaze and laughed.
Turning back to him, I spent a moment taking everything in before I spoke. “I’ve always wanted a big wedding right down on the beach.”
“Then a big wedding you’ll have. And it just so happens that I know a couple who have a house on the beach.”
“Your mom and dad! Are they here?” I asked, looking around the room.
He laughed. “They are here. I think they’re sitting with your parents.”
It didn’t take long to find them. The four of them were laughing at something. It warmed my heart to see how well they all got along. Dan and my father had hit it off immediately and had already made plans to go on a fishing trip. Much to my brother’s dismay, they were chartering a boat out of Boston. My mom and Jennifer had both discovered they shared a love of quilting. They were planning a trip to Sisters, Oregon, to go to a quilting festival together.
My parents had planned all of this after hinting that they’d be retiring before the babies came. They hadn’t made an official announcement yet.
A thought hit me, and I looked up at Mason, who was gazing down at me with so much love in his eyes that it made my knees weak.
“I have an idea, and I think it’ll be the perfect solution to me wanting a big wedding and you wanting it to happen quickly.”
“Talk to me.”
I chewed on my lip. “We could go to Vegas and get married now. Then have a big wedding ceremony this summer.”
His brows shot up and a wide grin spread over his face. “I like this idea very much.”
“Addie and Sutton are both due this summer, so I’d have to take that into consideration. Both of them are due in July, so we could easily plan an August wedding.”
“Is that enough time to plan it?”
“Six months?” I looked up in thought. “I think so.”
“Then let’s do it. Let’s run off to Vegas and get married!”
Laughing, I asked, “When?”
“This coming weekend. We can leave Friday night, spend a couple days in Vegas, and come back Monday night.”
“Don’t you have patients on Monday?”
He shook his head. “No, the office is closed. I’m having the heating unit replaced.”
“Oh my gosh, are we really going to do this?”
The corners of his mouth rose. “I think we are.”
I wrapped my arms around him and whispered, “We should sneak away and celebrate.”
His eyes darkened. “Where?”
I took a quick look around, saw Addie and Gannon dancing nearby, and approached them.
“Addie, can you watch Charlie for fifteen minutes?”
“Twenty,” Mason said.
She gave us a look that only a mother would give. “And may I ask why?”
“No, you may not.”
With that, I took Mason’s hand, and we snaked our way through the crowd. We pretended to head to the drink table and then quietly snuck out and down the hall.
“All the doors are locked,” Mason said as he jiggled another knob.
“Here! This one’s open.”
When we walked in, he stopped.
“The bathroom? You want to have sex in a public bathroom?” he asked.
I locked the door and leaned against it. “What’s wrong, Dr. Bryan? Afraid to be adventurous?”
“Pffft. Afraid. I’ll show you afraid. Turn around.”
My stomach dipped, and I spun around.
“Put your hands on the sink.”
Glancing over my shoulder, I gave him a sexy smile. “I like this bossy version of you.”
Mason lifted my dress—and then moaned when he realized I wasn’t wearing panties.
“Fuck, Palmer.”
“I didn’t want a panty line.”
Of course I wasn’t about to tell him that I’d planned on having sex in this dress and wanted easy access.
I heard him rustle with his pants and then felt him at my entrance. He teased me for a few seconds before he pushed inside.
“Yes!” I hissed. “Mason, yes!”
He moved fast and hard, and when his hand slid around to find my breast, I moaned softly. Sex with Mason was amazing every single time. When we were one, I felt so complete.
“More,” I whispered as the sound of his body slapping mine drove me close to the edge. Our parents were only yards away. Not to mention damn near the whole town, and the local doctor was in the bathroom having sex with his new fiancée.
I giggled, and Mason stopped. “You know, it doesn’t really bode well for the guy when the girl laughs during sex, babe.”
