His breath is hot against my lips as he digs his fingers into the backs of my thighs, leaving marks I am going to appreciate later. I take in his flushed face, the sweat along his brow, and his eyes that are tightly shut.
He’s stunning.
Without warning, his lips move against mine as he tells me, “But I’m not scared anymore, Maggie.”

Dermot
Me: Thanks.
Tessa: YASSSSSSSSSS!! DID YOU GET LAID!
You LIKED Tessa’s text.
Tessa: Is that a yes? Did you like my text to tell me you finally got laid after twenty years?
Me: It’s been six, jackass, and stay out of my love life.
Me: But thanks.
Tessa: LOLOLOLOL! Anytime, Mot. Anytime.
I usually don’t likethings out of order, but I love the idea of all our clothes and shoes at the door with our food.
Forgotten.
I can hear Kip sniffing at the threshold of the bathroom door, but if I let him in here, he’ll be in the bath with us.
And there might be room for him, but I don’t want to share Maggie.
The water is steaming, up to my chest, and Maggie lies between my legs, her stomach to mine as her breasts press into my chest. Her hair is wet, her eyes bright and her lips swollen from my needy kisses, while she strokes her fingers along my skin. I’ve never met someone who is always staring at me. Her eyes trace everything, and I swear her mind is always going. I tangle my legs with hers, and she smiles contentedly as her eyes drink me in.
It almost makes me feel self-conscious, but I know she likes what she sees.
She doesn’t shy away from telling me what she’s thinking.
“Did you read Liam’s book?Safe in His Silence?”
I take pride in the fact that her voice is raspy from screaming my name.
Makes me want to make it so she can’t do anything but whisper.
I feel the heat of my embarrassment inch up my neck. “I did.”
She runs her finger along my nose. “I have a secret.”
I smile; I can’t help it. I squeeze her ass, and her grin grows. “Tell me.”
“I based his nose on yours.”
I raise a brow. “How? That came out six months ago.”
“I’ve had a crush on you since I set eyes on you.”
Pride swells in my chest as I hold her gaze. “You should have said something.”
