“Make them wait. I’m kissing my fiancée, and I’d much rather be doing that than sitting with a bunch of men.”

He pushes me to the desk, and I wrap my arms around him, holding him close as his kiss consumes me.

This is what I’d been hoping for, and never in my wildest dreams did I think it would actually happen.
