him into the throng of dancers. Frank, Randy and Wade included them in their circle, the four men surrounding a laughing Georgie. Laura studied the dance floor and realized the entire crowd was dancing just as Georgie had said.
    “Looks like one giant orgy.”
    Kristen laughed. “You can say that again. Kevin was hot. Imagine the confusion you could cause at family occasions if you showed up with that sexy young thing on your arm.”
    “Very funny. But I’m not the one on the prowl tonight. That would be you. Any promising prospects? I have to admit, I can totally see you as a cougar.”
    Kristen frowned. “Ugh. Hush your mouth. I do not have the patience to teach some hot young stud what to do. I fully intend to find myself a ready-made man, one with the skills required to make me come at the drop of a hat.”
    “Then look no further,” a deep voice said behind them.
    Laura laughed when she spotted Kristen’s law partner, Jason, standing behind them. Kristen and Jason had a love-hate relationship. There was nothing the two of them loved more than to annoy the hell out of each other.
    Kristen rolled her eyes. “Hell will freeze over before I have sex with you.”
    Jason grinned. “No problem. I just bought a thermal hiking jacket from Patagonia. Bring on the cold, baby.”
    Kristen ignored Jason, looking at the man standing with him. “I thought I told you to have Nick wait in the car. Georgie will go ballistic when she sees him here.”
    Nick winked at Kristen. “That’s why I came in. Where is my ex-fiancée?”
    Laura pointed toward the dance floor. “Getting it on with Mr. Gorgeous and his friends.”
    Nick’s eyes narrowed when he spotted Georgie mastering the orgy-style dancing she’d been trying to teach Laura. “Those guys are kids. Are they even old enough to be in here?”
    Kristen held out her hand. “Give me the damn paper to sign, Jason, and then you two need to vamoose.” Jason had texted earlier to tell Kristen she’d forgotten to sign a document he needed for a meeting out of town. He’d offered to stop by the bar tonight or her house very early in the morning as he needed to be on the road by six a.m. Kristen had opted for the bar. From the look on her friend’s face, Laura suspected Kristen was now regretting that choice.
    “Fucking buzzkill,” Kristen murmured as she took the pen Jason offered and signed the paper. “Don’t know why you wouldn’t just forge my damn signature like I told you to. God knows you sign my name better than I do.”
    “And miss all this fun?” Jason took the paper and stashed it away in a file. “Blue Moon is hopping tonight. Nick and I were going to get a couple beers at McMillan’s, but maybe we should stay here. What do you think, Nick?”
    Nick was still scowling at Georgie and her dance partners. “Here is good.”
    Kristen put her hands on her hips. Uh oh. She was about to erupt. Laura had witnessed enough scenes between Jason and Kristen to know it was always better to escape early.
    “I’m going to go to the ladies’ room.” Laura excused herself from the table. No one acknowledged her departure. Kristen was telling Jason to get out, while Nick was inching closer to Georgie.
    “Hey, Laura.” Kevin was back, grasping her hand and pulling her toward the dance floor. “Dance with me.”
    She tried to retrieve her hand, shaking her head, but Kevin was tenacious. She glanced behind him, hoping to signal Georgie for help dissuading the man, but her friend had spotted Nick.
    Cue yet another World War. Tonight was about to implode. Quickly.
    Kevin spun her, resuming his earlier dancing position. This time there was no mistaking what he was packing in his pants as he tightened his arm around her waist, grinding closer.
    She tried to push his hand away, struggling to break free of his grip. While she knew he didn’t mean her any harm, she was more than uncomfortable with his inappropriate rubbing and touching.
    “I really need
