May I have this dance?

Vinny headed to the hotel bar he got the bottle of champagne from last night. It was busier than he’d expected. Normally just reserved for guests stay at the hotel, the numbers had swelled in anticipation of Alexa and Daniels wedding. Still he was able to walk straight up to the bar and get served. More importantly he was alone for now, not a single bridesmaid in sight. Vinny could play the victim and claim that he was getting worn out from all the attention he’d been receiving but truth be told he was absolutely loving it. The thrill of it making him almost feel as alive as he did before a fight.

After a steadying whiskey and a handful of peanuts off the bar, Vinny felt he was ready for whatever the women of Alexa’s wedding could throw at him. After relieving himself in the toilets, Vinny checked his reflection in the bathroom mirror. His hair was slicked back, so typical of Italian Americans but Vinny made it look good on himself. He’d trimmed his stubble back to be on point with the current fashions and pulled a pair of dark sunglasses out of his pocket. It’s show time.

Vinny found the other members of the bridal party milling around at the entrance to the reception right on time. He joined the other groomsmen surrounding Daniel and behind his shades was able to get a look at the competition. Alexa was talking with Astryd and Melissa but the conversation looked friendly enough. If Melissa had going to raise her suspicions with Alexa, it didn’t look like she’d done it just yet. Bernice and Gillian were also standing together, they were good friends even before the wedding. On seeing Vinny, Bernice flashed him a glowing smile and a ‘hey’ once again.

After waiting like that for no more than 10 minutes, the MC for the wedding, one of Alexa’s uncles, took the microphone and called the guests to attention.

“Hello everyone. If I could have your attention please. If you could all please be standing and with a big round of applause, it gives me great pleasure to present to you Mr and Mrs Rigby!”

There was a warm out breaking of cheering and clapping as Daniel linked arms with Alexa and lead her into the room containing all their assembled family and friends. Daniel and Alexa headed to the head table on a small podium in front of everyone and took their seats as the cheering continued until they had finally sat down.

In due course the rest of the bridal party was introduced, Aaron and Melissa first, down the line until Bernice and Vinny were brought in together. Vinny was seated next to Christopher on the end of the long table. It was a good place to be as he didn’t have to squeeze in between two people and it made it easy for him to get up and out whenever he pleased.

The reception continued in the normal fashion. Good food and a good number of drinks. Vinny was feeling merry and starting to let his normal guard down. The beautiful bridesmaids Alexa had chosen causing him to fill his mind with lusty thoughts. Vinny and Alexa had been having their clandestine romps for so long now, these four beautiful women were new and to Vinny that was exciting. The incredibly sexy Melissa; hot but deadly looking as only Asian women can be. The seductively flirty and friendly Astryd who’s tawney skin excited Vinny no end. The tight and compact Gillian with her golden yellow hair and bubbly and adorably sweet and innocent personality. Finally, the banging redhead Bernice with the knockout curves.

When it came time for the bridal waltz Alexa and Daniel were first up for their solo dance. The smiling couple couldn’t be more opposite in that moment when they danced together. Alexa was all sensual swaying and hip movement. It was what had drawn her to him in the club the first time he’d met her. Vinny’s mind going back to their first encounter as he watched her dance for her new husband. Daniel’s dancing was another thing all together. He looked about as comfortable as a fish that had crawled up onto land for the first time and been told to walk.

Their moment alone was brief thankfully for Daniel as soon the MC called the rest of the bridal partner up to join them. Vinny stood up and was surprised to find he swayed a little bit when he did, perhaps a water before his next alcoholic drink might be a good idea. Bernice, his partner, was soon on him and leading him out onto the floor with the rest. Feeling flushed with Alexa still in his mind, it felt good as Bernice pressed her body close to Vinny. The heat he felt under the collar spreading to more parts of his body.

Vinny and Bernice stayed like that for second song of the evening, their bodies touched together as Vinny felt the satiny material of Bernice’s dress rubbing up against the material of his suit pants. It felt good around his groin. Bernice too didn’t want to give Vinny more than a centimetre between then now that she had got her hands on him.

As the sounds of Ed Sheeran’s latest wedding clanger come to an end Vinny was flushed. More and more people were joining them on the dance floor until he couldn’t see more than a couple people deep around him. He could stay dancing with Bernice, he was sure she wouldn’t complain, or he could seek out a dance with someone else. Dancing with the rest of the bridal party in turn not unusual.
