Summer's Indiscretion (26 page)

Epilogue

The following weekend…

Taylor Vance sat with his friend and his beautiful blind date at a table in The Dancing Pony, talking about work. His job consumed a lot of his time, and he loved talking about it. Jessica sat beside him after finishing with her important text message from work and listening intently as he explained the intricacies of designing the signal distribution for a high-end home theater system he’d recently sold.

His coworker at Thorne Home Theater, Rachel Wolf, walked up and nudged him with her elbow as she interrupted him and said, “Can you not see that your date is bored
to tears
with your yammering on about amplifiers and subwoofers? You begged me to set you up with my friend and I did it, even though you were on my shit list for the way you acted with Summer. Major fuckup on
your
part, by the way. Your loss is
their
gain,” she said, gesturing toward the dance floor.

He rolled his eyes at her pronouncement, knowing full well that Jessica was riveted by what he was saying, even though she was now looking in the direction Rachel was pointing. He squinted at the darkened dance floor and finally saw what Rachel gestured at.

Summer Heston was on the dance floor, but he couldn’t see her very well for the two men she was currently pressed between. Adele’s “Rolling in the Deep” was playing so loudly he almost couldn’t hear himself think.

Taylor said, “I thought this was a country and western nightclub. That doesn’t sound like country music to me.” The beat of the music throbbed in the air.

Rachel shrugged dismissively and said, “I doubt Ethan and Ben follow anyone else’s standards but their own.”

Taylor wondered how Rachel’s husband put up with her sassy attitude.

Jessica turned to Rachel and asked, “Is she dancing with
two
men?”

Rachel smiled broadly and replied, “Yeah. Her fiancées, actually.”

Gasping, Jessica’s eyes widened, and she whispered, “No, really?”

Rachel chuckled and said, “Really.”

Jessica asked, “And she got them
both
to go dance with her to
that
song?”

Rachel nodded and replied, “Yeah. I think they pretty much give her whatever she wants, judging by the size of that rock on her ring finger.”

Just then, a popular song all the women in the nightclub seemed to enjoy dancing to started to play. Rachel asked, “Want to dance with the girls, Jessica? I’ll introduce you to Summer.”

Taylor wasn’t done talking about the home theater system and was surprised by how fast Jessica hopped from her seat snuggled close beside him.

She turned to him, patted his muscular forearm, and said, “I’m sorry, Taylor, but I don’t think this blind date is working out. Don’t worry about me. I’ll be sitting with Rachel and her group. It was nice to meet you, though.”

As she turned away with Rachel, Taylor thought he heard Jessica call Rachel her wingman.

THE END

WWW.HEATHERRAINIER.COM

lives and writes in South Central Texas. Her stories offer up the content of her fantasies, with autobiographical humor, triumph and tragedy mixed in. With great pride, Heather writes erotic romances exclusively for Siren Publishing, under their Ménage Everlasting and Everlasting Classic imprints.

Heather's love of romance fiction began as a teenager when her mom gave her copies of Kathleen Woodiwiss’s “The Flame and the Flower” and Bertrice Small's “Skye O'Malley.” To this day she's pretty sure that was her mom's version of the “birds and the bees” talk.

Heather writes the type of novel she loves to read: More erotic and edgy than the mainstream, with plenty of sweet romance mixed in and a happily ever after guaranteed. Heather's favorite type of hero is the gentle, lovable giant but readers will discover a wide variety of heroes and alphas on the pages of her novels, from nearly perfect to very flawed. Heather hopes that readers relate to her heroines and the challenges and dilemmas they face head-on.

Heather believes that life doesn’t always present love to us in neat little sanitized packages. Sometimes we have to seize the day, live life with no regrets, forget the past, never give up, learn to trust, and dare to live, even in outrageous circumstances. Those themes are woven throughout her Divine Creek Ranch Collection which debuted in November of 2010.

When not happily typing at her keyboard, Heather is usually busy corralling her kids, volunteering as a reading tutor, or loving on her smokin’ hot
husband, who thankfully loves to cook.
