Avery starts to shimmy and shake as she rubs her front up against Maddox’s chest. The look on his face is fucking priceless! When she steps back and dances to the beat of the music, she reaches down and grabs a hold of his belt buckle. She slowly starts to pull the belt end through the buckle until the belt is wide open. She whips it out of his belt loops in one fast, fluid motion that makes me wonder if she’s done that before.
Everyone starts cheering and cat-calling even louder. Avery takes the belt in one hand and turns around. She starts to grind her back against Maddox’s front as she dances along with the music.
Maddox’s eyes crash into mine and all I can see is the panic. Well, panic mixed with arousal. A lot of arousal. He mouths, “She’s doing it!” to me.
I just nod my encouragement and quickly try to think about Avery being anyone else right now – my little sister is not dancing around and stripping a guy in front of me. Shit! Maybe I didn’t think this through completely when Holly suggested it as a way to embarrass her.
Just then Avery turns around and grabs Maddox’s pants. Her fingers wrap around the button on his jeans. Maddox looks like he’s about to piss himself. He’s pretty much standing in front of our entire family, friends, and co-workers while his fiancée dances for him and strips him. But the funny thing is that as embarrassed as I’m sure he is, I can also imagine he’s hard enough to break glass right now.
I smile at the display in front of me and hug tighter on Erin. When Avery pops open the button on Maddox’s jeans and slides down the zipper, her hand lingers on his stomach over the top his underwear. I can only pray that her hands stay above his underwear elastic. Please for the love of God, she better keep that hand above his waistband! Avery continues to rub her hands up and down his chest, dipping them down lower and lower with each pass.
Just when I think we might get a little more of a show than we bargained for, Avery jumps up on her tiptoes and slams a hard kiss onto the very stunned lips of Maddox. Everyone bursts out laughing and cheering when she throws her arms around his shoulders and jumps up on his chest, wrapping her legs around his waist.
When he throws his arms around her, essentially holding her up, she reaches up and removes her blindfold. The ornery gleam in her eyes actually makes me pretty damn proud as big brother.
Maddox throws another kiss on her smiling lips while everyone starts to go back to drinking and talking.
“I can’t believe you figured it out,” Maddox says to Avery as they walk towards Erin and me, stopping to pick up Maddox’s t-shirt on their way.
“How did you know it was him, Avery?” Erin asks with a big smile.
“I could smell him,” she says with a smile as she gazes up at her fiancé.
“You could smell him?” I ask.
“Yep. He has a very distinctive smell. I could pick him out of a full auditorium if I had to,” she replies with a little shrug of her shoulder.
“Holly! Did you know Avery could smell Maddox?” I yell over their heads as I shake my head in disbelief.
“No way,” Holly says as she walks over and joins our conversation. “You really knew it was him? Did you peek?”
“No, I didn’t peek! I knew it was him as soon as I stood up and he put my hands on his chest. I know this chest very, very well,” she says with a giggle as she gives his bare chest a little rub. “So, since everyone else didn’t know I knew, I decided to have a little fun with it.”
“You were going to show everyone here, including our mothers, just how excited I was to have you rubbing all over me and stripping me. Three more seconds and everyone is this room was going to know exactly what effect you have on me,” he says with a wolfish grin as he slides his t-shirt back over his head and refastens his pants.
“I wasn’t going to go that far.”
“That’s a good thing for you because as soon as you would have pulled my pants down, all these girls would have been attacking me. You’d have to beat your friends off me with a big stick, babe.”
“Oh, shit. Here we go,” I say, rolling my eyes and shaking my head as I grab on to Erin’s hand.
Maddox and Avery walk away laughing, heading to mingle with their party guests while Holly heads over to get another drink, leaving Erin and I alone finally.
“So, what is your end of night plans?” I ask.
“I was hoping to find some hot guy to go home with tonight,” she says deadpanned.
“Really?” I ask, eyebrow sky high and a sly little grin on my face. “Maybe I can help you out. I just might happen to know a guy.”
“Is he tall, dark, and devastatingly handsome?” she asks with a cute little grin.
