I lifted my head from his neck. As I did, I surprisingly saw Lemon being carried out bridal-style by Bash. Mac was already out of the haunted house and was staring at Lemon and me with her hands on her hips. She had a look on her face that screamed,Really?
Reid smacked my butt lightly, then began rubbing it as if to soothe the nonexistent sting. “You still scared?”
“I’d prefer you spank me when we’re both naked.” I pecked him on the lips.
He didn’t hide his surprise. “You’d be okay with that?”
I understood why he’d asked. I shrugged. “I know you won’t hurt me. Plus, I read about it in this book I just finished and it sounded kind of hot.”
He snorted. “Roe told me about the books you’ve been reading.”
“He read one with me. I liked it more than he did, though.”
“There wasn’t any plot,” Roe said as he and Wyatt came over.
“What are they talking about?” Wyatt asked.
“Charlotte’s romance books,” Reid said.
“I’m a huge supporter of her romance-book addiction. I benefited from it the other night,” Wyatt said.
“What do you mean?” Roe asked.
I spoke before Wyatt could answer because the twins and the girls were right behind him. “Tell them in private, Wyatt.”
Still holding me, Reid leaned close to Roe and said in a low voice, “They did something she read in her book.”
Roe’s brows rose.
“Okay, people. Onto the next thing,” Mac said.
“Bathroom break first,” Lemon said.
Mac nodded and looked to me. “Let’s go, Lottie.”
“We’ll wait for you here,” Roe said.
I unwrapped my legs from around Reid, but he didn’t let me go. Instead, he started walking in the direction the girls were headed, leaving Roe and Wyatt behind with the twins.
I wiggled. “You’ve got to put me down.”
“Kiss me and I’ll consider it,” he said.
Smiling, I gave him a quick peck. “There, I kissed you.”
“Kiss me better than that,” he ordered.
“Come on, Lottie!” Lemon yelled.
I exhaled and kissed him again. Now I took my time, putting how I felt into it. His tongue brushed the seam of my mouth and I opened to him. He caressed my tongue with his in a way that made me dizzy and everything around us fade away.
“Charlotte, stop making out with my brother and let’s go before Lemon pisses herself!” Mac yelled.
I pulled away. “I have to go.”
He continued to give me shorter kisses as he set me on my feet. “All right. I love you.”
“Love you, too. I’ll be right back,” I said, and took off. It wasn’t until I was ten steps away that I froze, realizing what he had said and what I had said.
