I'd dated. For now, Wyatt and I had agreed we would enjoy being together, without really being together, till we figured out a way to tell her. Looking at Wyatt across the table, I wondered, now that he was home, how we could possibly manage to keep up the charade of being only friends in front of Beth.
    In an unladylike fashion, I drank down my current glass of JP and signaled for more. Pushing out of my seat, I reached out to Beth, asking her to come dance with me.
    She looked at me skeptically for a second then slammed down the remainder of her drink. Pushing Wyatt out of the way, she took my hand, letting me lead her to the dance floor. As the music started, our bodies began to move in time with the beat. We danced together quite often, so the movements were well rehearsed. We floated around each other in a perfectly timed rhythm.
    A shiver crawled up my spine as Wyatt's gaze burned into me. He pushed out of the booth and moved towards us as Beth and I continued our intimate tango For a short time, the world ceased to exist. I could die a happy woman at this moment; wrapped up in the love and happiness of my two favorite people.
    Wyatt spun me around, enveloping me in his arms. The tempo of the music changed as our eyes met, the new song slow and sensual. He snaked his arms around my waist, pulling my body close to his. He twirled us around in a slow circle while my head naturally came to rest against his chest. My hummingbird heart skipped a beat when he ran his fingers tenderly through my hair.
    We were the only two people who existed. The world disappeared, wrapping us in the love we had for each other. I tangled my arms around his neck, allowing Wyatt to lift me so our faces were close to one another. His musky scent assaulted me, leaving me breathless and aching with want. Everything about Wyatt spoke to my heart and soul - his strength, kindness and love.
    His lips brushed lightly against mine, taking my breath away completely. His tongue darted out, licking my lower lip and seeking entrance. Pushing myself closer, I obliged and opened to welcome him. Our tongues met, neither battling, just enjoying the sensation of each other. Everything went silent around us as I ran my hands through his hair and over his face.
    Wyatt held me against him with one arm, bringing his other hand up to cup my cheek. He pulled back, taking a much-needed breath as he kissed my nose, my forehead and then placed a small kiss on my lips again. We were both breathing heavily as our foreheads met, our eyes glued on one another.
    Wyatt gently set me down on the floor as the song ended. Reality quickly set in, as I remembered we were in JP's, performing a PDA in front of other people. Oh my god, in front of Beth! My heart pounded against my ribcage. What have I done? Twisting my head, I tried to prepare myself for the worst. When I met Beth's gaze, there was a look of shock on her face.
    Wyatt wrapped his arm around my shoulders and pulled me towards Beth. Heaven was quickly disappearing and hell was flaming hotter with each step.
    Tucking myself tighter into Wyatt's body, I hoped he would be the protector he'd always been. Being scared shitless wasn't an enjoyable feeling. Beth and I had always agreed honesty was the best policy, but right now, this was so far from the honesty we had always relied on.
    Everything happened in one fluid motion. I swore it was orchestrated as Wyatt stepped away slightly and Beth flew at me. I braced myself for a verbal onslaught which never happened.
    Beth's momentum forced me to take a step backwards. Her body crashed into mine while she jumped around in a circle, spinning me with her.
    "About fucking time, woman!" Beth's laughter was matched by her movements. "I was wondering how long it would take for you to tell me!"
    I followed Beth's jumps and spins robotically, completely shocked by her reaction. Words slipped from my mouth, “You knew?"
    Beth stopped her bouncing and pulled back, still holding me within
