I fist his shirt, and a moan escapes me as he takes my bottom lip between his teeth.
“Jesus, Soph. One sound from you is all it takes to make my dick so fucking hard,” he breathes between kisses.
Unable to stop myself, I reach down and run my hand against his hard length, feeling him straining against his pants. Growling, his hands move under my sundress as he cups my ass and digs into my soft flesh.
Some part of my brain hears a knock on the window, and I feel Travis pull away. “Um, guys? I got nominated to break this up. We’re all waiting on you, and the steam from this truck is practically pouring out of the window seams.” I hear Bella giggle, and I start laughing.
“We’ll be right out,” I say to her as she walks back over to the group.
“On a scale of one to ten, how mad does Mav get when his sister is mauled in front of him?”
“He’s only seen me make out with one other person, and the guy did get a fist to the face. To be fair, though, I was only seventeen and had been drinking way too much. Looking back, it wasn’t a smart decision, and Maverick probably saved me from the guy.”
“You think? Fuck.” He runs his hands through his hair and looks pissed. “Remind me to buy your brother a bottle of expensive bourbon for watching out for you all these years before I could.” He lets out a long breath and closes his eyes before searing me with his greys. “Just the thought of another man’s hands on you makes me want to hunt them down and strangle them.”
“I’m not too fond of thinking about you with other womeneither,” I mutter, straightening my sundress and grabbing my purse that had fallen to the floorboard during our heated kiss.
“None of them ever came close to what I feel for you.” His eyes soften as he brushes a piece of my hair back that has fallen in my face.
“Same,” I whisper, reaching out and placing my hand along his jawline. He takes my hand and kisses the palm before threading his fingers through mine.
“We better get out there before I change my mind and give your brother and the rest of them something to really look at. I have no self-control when it comes to you.” He opens the door, and I scoot out alongside him.
“We almost gave up on you two,” Emma grins as we walk to where they are standing.
“I owe you both a bottle of bourbon,” Travis says to Noah and Maverick. “I don’t know how you managed to keep this one safe, but I owe you. It must have been a full-time job.”
“You have no idea.” Mav chuckles.
“I wasn’t that bad.” I do my best to hide my grin when I catch Bella’s eye.
“Really? The bonfire night where you two snuck off with a bottle of tequila and got lost in the woods. We spent the whole night looking for you only to find you both curled up, sleeping under a tree in the middle of the field.” Noah ticks off a finger and holds up another one. “The time you showed up at one of our friend’s pool party at only seventeen, I might add, wearing swimsuits so skimpy that you might as well have been naked.”
“They were just thong bikinis, and all the other girls were wearing them too.” Bella laughs.
“I thought Maverick was going to have a stroke that night when he forced you two to put our t-shirts on over it,” Noah laughs.
“Always the party pooper.” I stick my tongue out at my brother.
“And don’t forget the time you guys decided to go skinny dipping in the ocean, and those teenagers came by and swiped your clothes. We got a late-night phone call to bring you something to put on so you could get out of the ocean. Mav and I were winning that night at pool and had to quit mid-game to save your asses. I’ve never seen Maverick get out of a bar so fast in my life.” Noah laughs. “I thought we were going to die on the way over there or get arrested because of all the laws he was breaking to get there as fast as he could.”
“To be fair, the beach was completely deserted when we did that. I don’t know where those kids came from.” I laugh at the look Travis is giving me and hug his arm I’m holding hands with as we walk to the bar.
“That was a fun night,” Bella giggles.
“I’ve had better nights,” Mav mutters. “I never did ask how you guys called us. I was so pissed when I got there, and then I spent an hour trying to find the stupid kids. One of you had to have gotten out of the water butt-ass naked to get to your phone. Thank God they left your bags sitting there.”
“I lost to rock, paper, scissors.” Bella holds back a laugh but sees me and busts out laughing as I try to catch my breath.
“I don’t think I laughed so hard in my life seeing your naked ass run up to grab your phone before joining me back in the water.” I hear Maverick groan, and I know he’s picturing the teenagers hiding somewhere to take a peek at her naked body.
“Make that two bottles of bourbon each,” Travis mutters, causing us to laugh harder.
We walk inside, and the girls and I grab a table while the guys head to the bar to order drinks.
“So, how’s it been living with Travis?” Emma grins over at me.
“Perfect. So perfect, it’s like I’m waiting for the other shoe to drop.”
