ALEX

I've never wanted an event to end as bad as I want this reception to end. But it seems I'm suffering alone because my wife is having the time of her life dancing and hugging everyone.

Including men I don't approve of.

Who invited these guys anyway?

But I let her.

Have the time of her life, I mean. Not the hugging part, I'll break the next male hand I see trying to touch her bare back.

She's changed into this body-hugging dress that's doing things to my sanity. It clings to her curves like a second skin, low in the back, high on danger. And every time she turns, her bare shoulders and that damn smile are on display for the whole world to see.

And I hate it.

Not because she doesn't look good.

Believe me, she looks exquisite. It's just the possessive part of me that wants to keep her to myself so no one else sees her like this.

Temptations....

"Are you okay, dear husband?" Her sweet voice reaches my ears, and when she places a hand on my back, I feel a jolt of electricity shoot to all parts of my body.

"Unless you want to end the celebration early, I suggest you refrain from touching me, baby."

I murmur the warning, my jaw tight as her fingers continue to brush teasingly along my back. She only grins at that. Of course, she doesn't stop touching me like she knows exactly what she's doing to me.

"You started it," she whispers, batting her lashes up at me, her lips curved in a way that makes it very hard to behave. Then she winks and walks away to greet someone else, swaying her hips in the process.

I groan under my breath.

I am not surviving this night.

"Congratulations, son."

I turn to see my father extending his hand before pulling me into a solid hug.
