      Handle the Heat

      Or, How Sam and Jack Throw a Party

      by Jordyn White

      Jack

      My wife knows how to throw a fucking party and that’s the truth. Everyone puts out chips and salsa, but she has tiered platters with squares of cheese topped with almonds and dried cranberries, cut-up fruit arranged to look like works of art, and hands-down the best spinach artichoke dip on the planet.

      That woman of mine brings a whole other element, which is one of the many reasons why I love her. Sometimes I don’t know how I missed her being under my nose the entire time. She’s a sexy goddess, clever, confident, witty, and the most loyal woman I know. If you can get on her good side, she’ll do anything for you. And somehow, I got lucky. I am solidly on her good side.

      Which makes her extra fun to tease.

      Now, I’m not an idiot. I know when teasing is something that will make her legit mad and when teasing is something that will make her interested. It’s all about timing, boys.

      We cleaned the house together. We prepared the food together. We got everything ready for this party we’re throwing, together. Not until it’s all set and guests could walk in the door any moment without giving her stress do I decide to distract her.

      Because there’s nothing more fun than distracting my woman.

      Sam

      Hands on my hips, I survey the spread laid out on the kitchen island, making sure everything is in order. Plates and napkins, check. Serving utensils for all of our goodies, check. Chilled drinks, check. Have no idea why I think it’s so fun to throw parties, but I do. It must be the quarter Italian in me. I love feeding people. It makes me happy.

      Plus, this is the first time the girls and their guys have come over in
