Infatuation (Club Destiny #4)(104)
Author: Nicole Edwards

When her eyes filled with tears, Tag held his breath, unsure what that meant. The house was eerily silent, which was strange, considering the number of people standing around them, but Tag didn’t exhale as he waited for McKenna to respond.

“Yes,” she whispered, dropping to her knees in front of him. “Yes. I’ll marry you.”

Tag crushed his mouth to hers, holding her as close as he could get her and ignoring the whistles and applause that erupted around them.

Chapter Forty One

McKenna sat quietly in the back of the room, grateful that she didn’t have to speak to this group of people today. As each person passed her, she felt their inquisitive eyes on her, probably wondering why she was there. She wanted to save them the question because she didn’t know why she was there either.

Luke and Logan called an impromptu meeting, insisting that all members be present, and Tag had insisted that she come. At first McKenna attempted to persuade him otherwise, but in the end, she had lost. Well, in actuality, she had won – big time – but she wasn’t going to think about that now. This wasn’t the time or place for her to daydream about that man’s sexy, wicked mouth and all the things he did to her with it.

She sipped from the bottle of water Tag had gotten for her as she waited for everyone else to show up. She recalled all of the faces as each person came in, realizing these were the full-fledged members. She was a little surprised when Samantha, Sierra and Ashleigh filed in, their eyes scanning the room until they landed on her. She smiled.

McKenna didn’t know what to think of this group of women. She’d had the pleasure of their company for the last few days, unable to say no when they invited her to lunch, or the one night they insisted she meet them at the bar for drinks. They were an interesting bunch and as different as three women could be.

Despite the uproar that the images of Sam had caused, she still seemed to be trying to be the woman she wanted to be. McKenna didn’t know her all that well, but she sensed Sam was battling some internal demons of her own these days. At one point, McKenna had heard that Samantha’s usual method of coping with stress to this degree was to run. She hadn’t though, and she wondered whether that was due to her deep, profound love for the man she married.

They were an interesting pair, Logan and Sam. Not that McKenna liked to think about it, but she did hear about the couple’s recent decision to avoid threesomes. At least for the near future. Apparently, Sam didn’t think she was cut out for it. According to her, she enjoyed the thrill, but she didn’t like knowing that one day, for whatever reason, it would come to an end. Since she had Logan for the duration, she felt her time and energy was better spent on loving him. McKenna admired her for that. For a woman many people called selfish, she seemed anything but when it came to her husband.

Then, of course, there was Ashleigh and Alex and those two needed to get a room. McKenna couldn’t stop the smile as she thought about them. It made sense that they hadn’t been together all that long, but according to what she heard, they’d been fighting an attraction for many years. Well, in case they didn’t know it, their attraction was still burning bright and hot. Sometimes, their reaction to one another was hot enough for even McKenna to feel it when they were close.

As for Luke, Sierra and Cole, well, there wasn’t much McKenna knew about those three, aside from the fact that they were totally in love with one another. Sierra’s pregnancy was driving both men absolutely crazy, making them even more protective of her than they already were. As Sierra would tell it, she wouldn’t want to be anywhere else. McKenna couldn’t blame her.

The one thing that still shocked the hell out of McKenna was the way Luke and Cole were toward each other. Being on the outside looking in, she originally thought that both men were in this for Sierra, but that clearly wasn’t the case. There was a passion between the two men that was as rugged and unrestrained as the two of them were. They might not show it often, but McKenna had seen it a time or two and, well, she had to admit, it was hotter than hell to witness.

As for her and Tag… they were making headway. He was trying to dominate her, and she was learning to be dominated. There were a few things they still disagreed on, but that was something she knew would take some time getting used to. For two people who were determined to move through life solo, they were learning what it meant to have someone to lean on. McKenna loved him with everything she was, and she felt every bit of it in return.

As for the wedding, well, they were still arguing about that one. McKenna’s parents were hoping for the whole nine yards, and for some reason, Tag wanted to appease them. She, on the other hand, would prefer to go to Vegas. Originally, Tag liked the idea, but after her father spoke with him, he changed his tune. She was working diligently to change it back. She smiled at the thought. She liked changing his mind.
