Piper, watching the dance floor and drinking more champagne than she needed. Piper was wearing a bright red halter top that was lined in stones along the bust. Her skirt was a sparkly black and her red heels were to die for. They made her at least six inches taller and made her legs look long and lean. She looked amazing with her long, light brown hair in big curls and her makeup done so perfectly that her eyes looked bigger than normal. She was one stunning chick.
    “Fallon is so pretty,” Piper gushed.
    Audrey nodded as she watched her sister break it down with her groom. “Yeah, she is,” Audrey agreed, downing the rest of her champagne. Her eyes swept around the room, taking in the gorgeousness of the men. “So are the men in here. Jeez, that hockey team is smoking hot!”
    Piper giggled. “Right! Man, that one guy, the one with no teeth, whoa! If he just kept his mouth shut the whole time, I could probably holler at him.”
    Audrey giggled as she shook her head. “Yeah, he is, but did you see Anderson? My God,Fallon was right, total eye candy. I could suck on him like a Blow Pop!”
    Piper laughed loudly. “You’re so bad!”
    Both ladies giggled, then Piper went quiet and Audrey looked down at her, confused. Piper was staring off to the side where her twin sister stood with one of the most gorgeous guys in the room. Reese stood tall in silver heels that matched her short, sparkly silver dress. It was open in the back and hung off her shoulder, showing off the amazing tree tattoo that took up her whole back and shoulders. Piper had one to match; it was their twin thing. Reese’s hair was braided down her back and her makeup was dramatic and gorgeous. Tall-Dark-and-Handsome stood only inches away, obviously spitting some mad game at Reese. She was shaking her head, laughing, but Tall-Dark-and-Handsome wasn’t giving up. He obviously had his sight set on Ms. Reese Allen.
    “What’s wrong?” Audrey asked.
    “Nothing,” Piper said, looking away. Audrey looked down at her until Piper looked up, and then saw the hurt in her eyes.
    “Who is that?” she asked Piper.
    “Erik Titov, Jakob’s brother.”
    “Oh, do you not like him?” Audrey asked. She hadn’t met Erik yet, but she’d heard of him. He was apparently a great guy, quiet but nice.
    Piper shook her head sadly. “More like totally in love with him. But he wants nothing to do with me. He wants Reese.”
    Audrey’s heart broke. She knew what it was like to lust after a guy who wanted her sister. She had lived it growing up. Thankfully, she didn’t have that problem anymore. She took Piper’s hand in hers and squeezed.
    “He doesn’t deserve you.”
    Piper gave her a watery smile before nodding. “Excuse me.”
    Audrey let her leave, and when a waiter passed with a tray full of champagne, she took one. She didn’t know what was up with Piper and Erik but planned to find out. She would give Piper some time before she forced it out of her. She would need cupcakes and maybe some vodka. Piper was a lush when it came to vodka.
    “Well, hey there, beautiful.”
    Audrey looked over and almost did a double take, seeing the guy she had left alone in her hotel room not more than a week ago. She took a quick breath as her eyes met his. How the hell did he find her? Even in her state of shock, she couldn’t help but notice he looked positively scrumptious with his big blue eyes and blond hair. That was probably the reason she slept with him. He was beautiful.
    “Hey …”
    Yup, his name wasn’t clicking at all. Eek, she was such a slut! Wait, she remembered now. She hadn’t wanted to know his name. And why did he look younger than he did the other night? He looked like he was sixteen! Oh, goodness! What had she done? She was a child molester! She was going to go to jail for sleeping with a minor!
    Oh, good Lord!
    Her one-night stand laughed as he looked around. “Should my feelings be hurt that you don’t know my name?”
    Oooh, he had an accent.
