Free Take Me [Dungeon Masters 1] (Siren Publishing Menage Everlasting) by Cara Adams

constantly fidgeting?” she asked Simon.
    “You know what they say. A moving target is harder to hit.”
    Tammy laughed and let them lead her back to the ballroom. “We aren’t supposed to be here,” she said softly as Leif opened the door.
    “I know, but I have business to take care of.” Leif slipped through the door and stood in front of the big sign with the table seating arrangements listed on it. He took a pen out of his pocket and carefully colored through two place settings altering them. Then he tiptoed to the tables and switched two cards.
    It didn’t take Einstein to work out what he’d done. Once they were outside the room again she stared at him. “Which poor person did you move?”
    “A man by himself. I wouldn’t touch anyone listed as a couple. We’ve found you. Perhaps he’ll get lucky and find his Ms. Right as well.”
    Tammy liked the thought that she was their Ms. Right even though she was pretty sure she was only their Ms. Right for one more night. But that was okay by her. This was the best weekend she’d had in so long she couldn’t remember being this happy before. Monday and real life would come soon enough, She had one more night with them yet and that was twice as many nights as she’d expected to have so it was all very good indeed.
    They went and had a coffee downstairs and then she returned to their room to check her makeup before going back downstairs again. People were already flooding into the ballroom and crowding around the notice board but Leif took them directly to their table.
    As an unimportant umpteenth cousin, Tammy had expected to be hidden away down the back of the room which suited her perfectly. Hopefully there’d be so many tables between her and her parents and aunts they’d never even notice if she didn’t pay attention during the speeches or left before the end of the evening. Although if there was dancing she was more than ready to be held in her men’s arms. If they danced, of course. She didn’t know that about them yet.
    Her guess was correct. Their table was in the second back row, and toward the side of the huge room. The meal was nice, but not outstanding, the speeches were mostly boring, and with so many people to serve everything took an enormously long time. But Tammy didn’t mind. She was with Leif and Simon and they really did use the time to learn about each other. They told stories of their childhoods, they talked about their likes and dislikes, and they laughed a lot. The people at their table were mostly a similar age to themselves, and they also talked and laughed in a general conversation with all the people at their table.
    The meals were served alternately, the idea being that if a person didn’t like their meal, they swapped with the person sitting beside them. Which worked fine with the fish and the entrée, but not at all with the dessert. Everyone wanted the pecan pie. Tammy had one and held onto it refusing to swap, as did most of the others lucky enough to be given one. The entire group dissolved into laughter as one of the men offered to auction his dessert to the highest bidder.
    By the time the bridal waltz was announced, Tammy was relaxed and laughing, enjoying herself more than she would ever have believed possible.

    Leif watched Peter lead Sophia onto the rather small dance floor for their exhibition dance. Peter was so obviously in love with Sophia his face glowed with happiness, and the tender way he took her into his arms made Leif’s heart beat faster. It was exactly how he felt about Tamara. He might have only met her this weekend, but already he knew absolutely that she was the perfect woman for him.
    Leif’s gaze was on the dancing couple, but his mind was busy picturing the way he’d use his ropes to decorate Tamara’s body. She would be the centerpiece of all his future designs. Her lush curves would look even better decorated with the intricate twists, and turns, and knots he’d make in his
