Until the buzzing started up again.
“Fuck,” he groaned.“Sorry, sweetness.I gotta take this.”
Before I could say anything, he gave me a kiss and rolled out of bed, grabbing his phone on his way to the bathroom.“Swear to god, Max, you better kiss your wife goodbye because I am going to kill you if you’re calling to tell me we have club business to handle right now.”
The door to the bathroom shut, and the sound of the shower turning on drowned out any further conversation.I stayed in bed, enjoying the feel of the sheets against my bare skin, breathing in Reid’s scent, basking in the morning-after glow that hummed through my body.
Between my legs, I felt wet and swollen, the distressed tissue burning a little.Being devirginized was fun, but also messy and uncomfortable.I was definitely going to be walking slowly for a few days.
Worth it.
Sex was better than I’d ever imagined.Reid had been insatiable the night before, fucking me nearly unconscious.I’d lost count of how many orgasms he’d given me.
A short time later, the bathroom door opened again, releasing a cloud of steam.Reid had a towel wrapped around his waist as he walked toward his closet.
Damn.
Every cell in my body came alive at the sight of him in nothing but that towel, water beading on his hard body.He had that sexy V-cut with a toned six-pack of abs.His skin was sun-kissed, attesting to his time working outdoors with his hands.
Seeing that I was still awake, he changed direction to give me a quick kiss.“I’m sorry, Ev.I have something I need to help my cousin take care of.Not sure how long it’s going to take, but I shouldn’t be too late.Want to have dinner at Aggie’s tonight?”
Tucking the sheet under my arms, I sat up, trying not to wince when my core protested.“With you?”
He frowned down at me.“Of course with me, woman.”
I licked my bottom lip, suddenly nervous.“Like a date?”
“Everly, do you want me to spank that fine ass this morning?”
“I’m just asking.”I tried not to smile, happiness like I’d never felt before coursing through my entire body.
He shot me a glower.“Yes, babe.Like a date.Because that’s exactly what it is.”
“Okay,” I murmured, watching him pull on clothes.
Shrugging on his MC cut, he stomped back to the bed.Bending, he fisted my hair, tilting my head back for a deep kiss.“Seven.Be ready.I’ll pick you up.”
A little breathless from that kiss, I couldn’t find my voice until he was at the bedroom door.“Be safe, Reid.”
One hand in the knob, he glanced back at me.“Promise, sweetness.”
With him gone, the apartment felt too quiet.Every inch of my body ached in the best of ways as I found my clothes and dressed.That burning between my legs was growing more persistent and was starting to itch.But I put that down to healing.
After locking the door, I walked downstairs to my own apartment.When I saw the door was closed, I figured Evie had experienced her own sleepover the night before.Using my key, I stepped inside.
And had to swallow my scream when I found Evie sound asleep on the couch with her bloodhound.
Chance lifted his head, going from asleep to alert in a heartbeat.He glared at me, lifted a finger to his lips to signal for me to be quiet, then dropped his head back on the pillow.Pulling the throw blanket up over Evie’s shoulders, he kissed the tip of her nose and fell straight back to sleep.
Heart pounding, I stared wide-eyed at the sight before me.Once the initial shock began to fade, my heart gave a squeeze.
Evie was inside our home.
And the door was shut.
That was huge.
Perhaps Chance Reid was good for my sister after all.I could put up with the flea-infested bloodhound if he helped Evie.As long as he was good to her—and I sure as fuck would ensure he treated her like gold—I wouldn’t have a problem with them being together.All I wanted was for my sister to be happy.
