Maybe This Time (Maybe #1)(43)

“Man,” I correct, rolling my eyes.

“Where can I find this Quinn?” he asks in a suspiciously calm tone.

“Reid,” I say, trying not to laugh but failing.

“What?” He shrugs his broad shoulders.

“So, this is the first time we’re gonna make love after a fight,” I say huskily, changing the subject.

“Who says that’s what we’re gonna do tonight?” he asks, playing coy.

I sigh dramatically. “I thought I was in for a treat tonight, my man winning his fight, adrenaline pumping through his body…” I trail off.

Reid grins widely, showing his straight white teeth. “Be careful what you wish for, beauty.”

“Why? Cos I just might get it?” I bat my eyelashes at him.

“Just hope you can handle it,” he teases, his lips curving into a crooked grin.

“Oh, I can handle it,” I scoff, leaning over slightly and running my hand up his thigh.

He shakes his head at me, and as he parks on the grass in front of my house, I can feel the anticipation building. He walks around the car and opens the door for me, and I step out and stare up at his handsome face. A little battered, but handsome all the same. I smile and put my hand out, which he takes into his. He closes the car door, and locks it with a press of a button. Hand in hand, we walk to the front door. Before I can even open the fly screen door, Xander pulls the door open, grinning when he sees us.

“I was wondering what the hell happened to you two, I just rang Ryan,” he says, stepping back for us to enter.

“You okay?” he asks Reid, giving him a once over.

“Yeah, I’m good,” he answers, slapping Xander on the back.

I pull Reid towards my room. “Night, bro!” I call out.

“Night. I’m heading out,” he says.

I spin around. “Where are you going?” He just smiles cheekily and walks out. He locks the door behind him.

“Stop fussing over him,” Reid says, cupping my ass with his large hand.

“I don’t fuss over him,” I lie.

“I’m gonna take a shower,” he says, pulling off his hoodie. I don't miss his wince, and I know that he’s in pain, no matter how much he tries to deny it.

“Wanna join me?” he asks in a deep low voice.

“You sure you’re up for that?” I ask.

He glances down at his semi hard on. “I think so.”

“I meant, are you sure you’re not in too much pain?”

“I will be, if you don’t take care of it,” he says, stifling a smile. He pulls off his top, and then his shorts, standing before me looking like a slightly battered Greek god.

I sigh as I stare at his body.

Sexiest thing I’ve ever seen. Who knew such perfection existed in real life? In books, maybe. Or in movies. But in real life?

“You gonna stare at me all day, or you gonna get naked and join me?”

I bite my bottom lip, and start to undress. I try for a slow, sexy seduction, but end up having to lie down on the bed to shimmy my jeans off. Once I’m fully naked, Reid stalks towards me and bends at his waist, gripping my hips and throwing me over his shoulder.

“Be careful, Reid!” I plead.

“I’m fine, Summer,” he says, carrying me to the bathroom. Yeah, he is.

He puts me down on my feet, his arousal rubbing against my body as he releases me. Turning on the shower, he tests the temperature first, before lifting me in. I moan as the warm water hits my body, and at the promising look in his eyes. I stand up on my toes and kiss him slowly, a sensual tease. His tongue darts inside my lips, deepening the kiss as his hands roam my body. When his thumb swipes over my nipple, my body jerks in pleasure.

“I want you,” he growls, pulling his mouth from mine.

“You have me.”

He lifts me up in the air, and I instantly wrap my legs around him. “You sure you’re okay?”

“Nothing’s gonna stop me from taking you. Want you too bad,” he says before his mouth is on mine again.

“Then take me,” I gasp as he pulls his lips away, only to move them to my ear lobe, nibbling. He moves a hand down between us, and strokes me gently. He makes a husky sound in his throat when he feels just how ready I am for him.

When he slides into me with one firm thrust, a curse escapes my lips and exquisite pleasure consumes me. My back slams against the tiled wall with each thrust of his body, and I wrap my arms around the back of his neck, holding on. His lips return to mine, his tongue mimicking each thrust. I slide my fingers through his wet hair, tugging on it as my body erupts with waves of pleasure. A whimpering sound escapes my lips as he lowers his head to suck a nipple into his mouth, heightening my orgasm. He bites it gently before he pulls back, our eyes connecting. I watch his face as he finishes, the expression of ecstasy turning me on.

Reid pulls out and kisses me tenderly, his soft lips showing me how much he cares. We finish our shower, taking turns washing each other. He turns the water off and gets out first, taking a towel into his hands and holding it out for me. I step out and he wraps me up in it, kissing me on the nose. I look up at my man and sigh in contentment as he dries me with a towel.

Best. Shower. Ever.





Chapter Fifteen


“That’s fourteen dollars, thanks,” I tell the gentleman I’m serving. He hands me a fifty and I give him his change.
