“Are you pissed at me?” Connie searched his face. “Don’t you dare think about throwing me over your shoulder again. I’m not wearing panties.”

“Oh, Lord. Is she always like this?”

Ray nodded. “Unpredictable? Yes.”

Connie’s big brown eyes snapped with amusement. “That’s not fair. Kresley told me to lose the panties. She said she tried it with your brother and it worked like a dream. They had sex on their first date.”

“They were already married on their first date.”

“Your brother didn’t know he’d married Kresley. All he knew is he woke up with six naked women and a marriage license. He didn’t have a clue whose name was on it along with his.”

Thorpe slapped his thigh and tipped his hat. “Six naked women? I’m hanging with the wrong crowd.”

“Shut up, Dino.” No panties? She’s naked under that short skirt!

Connie moved closer. “Is something wrong with you?”

Dino clapped him on the back. “And here I thought this high-society wedding reception would be a snore.”

Naked? No panties?

Connie grabbed hold of his hand. “Don’t you dare do anything to embarrass me in front anyone again.”
