“I haven’t had too much privacy with Reed, but his mom told him that she got Cara settled in a hotel down the road. She will pick her up and drive her back tomorrow to Orlando. Amy instructed Cara to stay far away this weekend.”
“Good call on her part.”
“Yeah, I’ve always been a forgiving person, but I don’t feel so lenient this time.”
“Nope, I would guess not.”
We don’t talk any more about Cara, but I do have to listen to Sophie ogle Jack and his body. At one point, I tune out because all I have eyes for is Reed. His hard, rigid muscles glisten from the water and his hair is slicked back. He’s laughing with the other guys and turns to catch me staring. I try to turn my head but know I’m busted. He starts to stalk toward me but I shake my head violently.
When he gets to my chair he leans over and drips all over me, and I squeal as I hold onto the sides of the lounger with all my strength. “Reed, no! There are too many people out here today. Not to mention the kids!”
“Angel, I don’t really care. I want you right now,” he whispers.
“Stop it; people are going to know what you are talking about.” I croak.
“Oh, baby, there’s no doubt people know what I want. Any man on this beach who sees you wants this. Luckily, I’ve already staked claim. This afternoon, my shower, you wrapped around me.” He kisses me deeply twirling his tongue with mine until I need oxygen.
He lifts back and kisses my forehead then adjusts his shorts, where there’s an obvious bulge. The other men start yelling at him from the water so he runs back down to them.
“Jesus Christ, I need sex. My nipples are tingling from that little display.” Sophie mumbles.
I don’t respond but blush slightly and shake my head.
“Give it to me, let go.” Reed rolls his hips into mine and I groan.
“Not yet, I want you with me.” I tug his hair and nip his exposed neck. The warm shower spray is hitting against my side and I’m pressed against the tile wall with my legs around his waist. We haven’t washed off yet and the smell of coconut oil and salt water fills the small space. I’ve been thinking about this since he kissed me on the beach and I want it to last.
“Oh, baby, I’ll be with you on the second one.” He moves his fingers to my clit and rubs gently on the bare skin. The sensation sets me off and I convulse around him. My fingernails scrape down his shoulder blades trying to catch my breath.
He pulls almost all the way out and then slams back into me. I arch my back and throw my head against the wall, thrusting hips in rhythm to his, which press my breasts higher. He takes one into his mouth and bites down harder than expected and I cry out.
“Shhh, baby. We still have a house full of people.”
“I can’t, it’s too intense.”
“Angel, hold onto my shoulders.”
I do as he says and he pumps faster into me. The movements hit me in the right spot and I try to pull back but he continues. The second orgasm hits full force and I squeeze my muscles as tight as I can taking him with me. He moans into my neck and slows.
“God, I missed this.”
“It’s only been two days.”
“Two days too long.”
“Reed, are you okay? You’ve been a little off today.”
“Yeah, Angel, I’m fine. I wanted you to know how loved you are today. You are everything to me.”
The words hit me hard. I stare into his eyes and know Luke talked to him. “You know don’t you?”
He sighs and holds me tighter. “Yeah, babe, I know. And I swear to you for the rest of your life, you’ll never doubt how much you mean to me.”
Chapter 21
Reed
“I’m going to hit the sack. DL asked me to sleep with him so I’ll be in there.” Luke tells me and goes inside.
“There’s a couch with a sofa bed in the den.” I tell Jack, who is finishing up his cigar. “Ari laid clean sheets and a pillow in there for you.”
“Thanks, I can’t tell you how much I appreciate you inviting me this weekend. Ari’s really something special. For what it’s worth, I’m glad you found her again.”
“Yeah, me too. You should tell mom and Ari your appreciation. They pushed me to call you on Friday.”
“I know.”
“There’s a big party here on the Fourth. You’re welcome to come.”
“I wouldn’t miss it. Think Sophie will be here too?”
“Yep, she and Ari are tight. From what I can tell, Sophie is a nut; she may give you a run for your money.”
“I like a little spunk in my women.”
