I lower my head, finding interest in the ground.I can’t tell her about the review or the complaint.I can bear the look of disappointment from my brothers, but my mum?I can’t handle that.
“Never better, Mum,” I lie.
She sighs like she doesn’t believe me.“Have you had a chance to meet the new family?”
“Not yet.I’ve kind of been hiding away in case Jaxon changes his mind and sends me back to work.”
“Come on, I’ll introduce you,” she offers, taking my arm.
I go to argue, wanting to stay in my own little bubble, but nothing comes out of my mouth.All thoughts flee from my mind as my attention is drawn to one of the hot tubs.
Instantly, my dick gets hard—which is seriously fucking uncomfortable with my mum right next to me.
I can’t take my eyes off the woman climbing up the steps to get into the hot tub—slender frame, with curves in all the right places.I can only see her from behind, but it’s all I need to see.Her fucking arse—so plump and tanned, with no dimples in sight.Something about how smooth it looks makes me want to take a bite out of it.
Sad and pathetic Reid has left the party.
Now the real Reid is here, and he wants to play.
CHAPTER FOUR
Summer
The warm water feelslike heaven on my muscles as I lower myself into the hot tub.Sitting behind a desk all day doesn’t do my back any good.I’m used to moving around, which has been hard since they confined me into that small office.
But this...
This, I could get used to.
“I’m saving up for one of these, babies,” I breathe out, leaning back to close my eyes.
“Or you could keep coming to use this one,” a deep voice purrs.
My eyelids fly open, my back straightening at the sound ofhisvoice.
Years ago, I went to a pub with my boyfriend after a long week of work.We hadn’t been there long before he broke up with me.Lost for words, I didn’t bother to argue with him about why he was breaking up with me since he had already left me there alone.He just walked out.At the time, I found it weird and childish.I swore off men all together after that, though since I’ve never been one to turn down a night out, I used my break-up as a reason to get sloshed alone.If there was any excuse to drink alone, being dumped would be it.
