“I’m really glad I brought a vibrator with me.”
My cock surged at the thought.“Fuck me.You’re going to kill me with that thought.”
She snickered.“You’re going to kill me with these kisses.”
I tugged the cups of her bra down and used the move to pull her to me again.I scraped the rough pads of my fingertips over her nipples and swallowed the moans that told me she enjoyed that as much as I did.
Our mouths collided.Her tongue battled mine for position and dominance.I teased her nipples until she whimpered and rocked her hips against mine.I tore my mouth from hers and ducked my head to take one nipple in my mouth, plucking the other with my fingers as she cupped my head and pressed her breast into my mouth.
Laughter outside had us both freezing.
“Fuck,” slipped from her lips.
I extracted myself from her body, wishing I could carry her to my bed and finish what we started but knowing there wasn’t a chance in hell.“I got carried away.”
“You carried me with you.I’m not letting you take any blame.”She righted her bra and smoothed her hands over her shirt.“I might need new batteries tonight.”
I choked out a laugh and shook my head.“I might have blisters tomorrow.”
She laughed with me.“You’ll have to show me in the morning.”
“Don’t wear a bra tomorrow morning,” I breathed against her neck.
“I never do,” she replied.
“Definitely going to kill me.”
The laughter outside rang out again, and we both sighed, then moved into the kitchen.I picked up the platter of shish kabobs, but Reegan stopped me.
“You might want to calm down a little before you go back outside.Otherwise I won’t have to say a thing to Ashlyn.”
I looked down at the erection pressing against my zipper and knew she was right.
“I’ll take these out and tell them you had a phone call or something.”
She reached for the platter, but I caught her hand.Before she could say anything else, I kissed her hard, knowing we were blocked by the fridge.She trembled against me, her hands sliding into my hair.
I was having trouble letting go of her.I needed to get over that before the end of summer, but for now, I was not going to complain.
I finally pulled back, enjoying the dazed look on her face.
“Best summer ever,” she whispered.
I chuckled.“It will be when I get you in my bed.”
She winked at me, then grabbed the platter.Her sashay toward the door promised getting her in my bed would only be the beginning.
I groaned, and she walked outside laughing.
Damn, I could get used to that sound.
Ten
I couldn’t rememberthe last time I laughed so much during a meal.Ashlyn was funny, and the way she engaged with Evie made me wish I’d gotten to know her better since she moved in.I always held back because of Hannah, but Ashlyn was a kind person who knew my daughter better than I realized, letting me know I was the jerk and my kid had risen above me to do better.
And then there was Reegan.She jumped right in with Ashlyn, showing me more of who she was.She didn’t back down from saying whatever she wanted to say, even when it made Evie wince with the hard truths dropped on her.
“College is fun.You will have more freedom than you ever thought, but you have to be smart.You have to step back and decide every moment if the person you’re being is the person you want to be,” Reegan said.
