[This is a Jack Grierson story, following from the 10 Chapters of Her Fiancรฉ's Father.]

1. "Everyone is horny at weddings," said Jack, leaning back on the bar. "You just have to press the right buttons."
"Most everyone at weddings is already hooked up," countered Howard. "So what's the point?"
Jack Grierson and his old friend Howard Wentworth were at the wedding of Howard's older daughter, Taylor at the Old Ivy City Club. The Wentworths were old money and she was marrying Bradley Morgan, alum of an elite prep school and Harvard, now a rising star on Wall Street. The evening ceremony was just over, the Best Man and Maid of Honor had both done their speeches and the toasts had been drunk. The reception party was in full swing. Howard had booked the entire club and half the guests had changed into swimsuits to take advantage of the pool. Howard had flown in one of the best DJs in the business and the small dance floor was also full.
"That's exactly the point. Almost everyone's hooked up and taking their partners for granted. It's a potent combo -- horny and ignored. You can take your pick of women."
"For example?"
"Look at the Maid of Honor, the little Pakistani girl, Jia Khan. She's definitely a hot little number, let me tell you. And secondly, check out that woman who's just pulled herself out of the pool, the one in the black bikini."
The woman Jack alluded to was wet up to her neck and dripping, but she'd kept her head above water. Her dark hair and dangly earrings were dry. Her powder blue eyes were clear, with no redness from the chlorine.
"That's Nikotai Mathieson, she's in Art School with Taylor. See the guy right by her? That's her fiancรฉ, Russell Paine."
Nikotai was in her early twenties, with just enough fat to give her a mouth-watering shape. She was not classically pretty, but had just the right curves set to a man's pulse racing -- a generous, but tight ass, full, rounded breasts and an incredibly sexy abdominal swell, set off with a perfect belly button.
"She's hot and looking for it," said Jack.
"She's getting married to Russell next week. If she's hot, she's hot for him."
The DJ put on a new track and as the heavy beat drifted out, Nikotai began to gyrate her hips and undulate her shoulders, causing her firm breasts to jounce in a sensual manner. She backed her ass into Russell, running her butt crack up and down the front of his shorts. He continued to talk to one of his buddies, oblivious to her movements. However, her sexy display got Jack half hard.
"Just look at him ignore her," Jack breathed. "She's asking for it and he's giving her the brush-off."
"I wouldn't waste time with her," said Howard.
"And why not?"
"She was complaining to me earlier this evening. She said you've been staring at her since the champagne brunch this morning. She says you give her the creeps. She called you an 'old geezer'."
"So she knows I'm interested. I'm going to talk to her."
"Now don't make a scene, Jack."
"When have I ever made a scene?" asked Jack.
"When have you not made a scene?" countered Howard, rolling his eyes.
"Wish me luck," said Jack, walking way.
Jack seated himself on the picnic table just by Nikotai, staring at her quite obviously now. He was so close that she could not miss him, though she continued to swivel her ass against Russell and pretended not to notice him. Jack knew she was glancing at him from time to time under lowered lashes.
"Hi," Jack said as the heavy beat of the music from inside died down at the conclusion of the number. "I'm Jack Grierson."
She did not respond, but Russell broke off talking to his friend, leaned over and extended his hand saying, "I've heard about you, Mr. Grierson. I'm Russell Paine, how do you do?"
Jack shook Russell's hand and then forced the issue by sticking out his hand towards Nikotai saying, "And you are?"
She took his hand reluctantly and shook it gingerly.
"Nikotai Mathieson," she said.
"Interesting name, where does it come from?"
"Inuit," she said without elaboration.
"But we call her Nikki," broke in Russell.
"Blue eyes, white skin, you can't have much Inuit in you," said Jack. "What do you do, Nikki?"
"Art School," again she was brief, inviting no continuation. Russell went back to talking to his friend, discussing the off-season football trades. A water fight was breaking out in the pool and Nikotai turned away, as though this was of great interest to her. She had her side to Jack now -- her rounded breasts and the smooth curve of her belly made for an incredibly sexy profile. The cold of her wet bikini was making itself felt and her stiffening nipples made prominent indentations in her bra.
"What kind of art do you specialize in?"
"Modern. I work on symbolism using body parts." She thought that the technical jargon would shut him up.
