Time and Time Again (Maybe #2.5)(16)

So good.

He knows just how to touch me—the only plus side of being with a man with so much experience.

Wet kisses start at my neck and end on my hip bone before he nibbles on the inside of my thighs. Then, finally, his mouth is on me.

“Fuck,” I grit out, my hands holding onto his head, silently begging for more.

He gives it to me.

And when I come, I scream his name.

“So you’re just seeing each other? But not dating?” Summer asks, looking confused. “Does that mean you’re not exclusive?”

I sigh, putting down the glass in my hand. “I’m trying not to overthink it. Can’t I just enjoy myself without questioning it?”

Summer tilts her head to the side. “I don’t know, can you?”

“He’s Tag. He’s amazing, sweet, and incredible in bed,” I say. “Oh and generous. He’s damn generous in bed.”

In fact, I’m pretty sure I’m ruined for all other men.

“I knew it,” Summer says, shrugging. “What? He seems like he would be.”

“Does Reid know you wonder about what his friends are like in bed?” I tease.

Her eyes widen. “No. And if you want them to live, you will never repeat it.”

We both burst out laughing.

“As long as you’re happy,” she says. “That’s all that matters. I know Tag says it isn’t serious, but he acts like it is. Sometimes you need to go by actions not words, and his actions are saying he’s in deep with you.”

I didn’t want to feel hope at her words, but it was there.

“I guess I’ll just have to wait and see what happens,” I say, looking out over the empty bar. Tag and Ryan were outside looking at Ryan’s new car, and Summer and I were manning the bar. We only had two customers, so we were having a chat.

“Yeah. He’s a good man though. I’m sure he will surprise you.”

I wasn’t so sure. He was honest in what he wanted, and I needed to respect that.

“I haven’t told him yet,” I say. “But I found a room I can rent in a shared house. It has two uni students living there, and they’re looking for a third. The rent is cheap, and it’s a great location.”

Summer gives me an odd look. “You think Tag will be okay with that?”

I shrug. “I appreciate him helping me out, but I can’t stay at his house forever.”

“Are the two uni students male or female?” she asks, her eyes narrowing.

“One male one female,” I reply. “Why?”

Summer smirks. “You’re gorgeous. You living with another man is going to drive him insane.”

Well, he is going to have to deal.

Tag and Ryan walk back into the bar. They are both good looking. Anyone could see why this place was normally swarming with females. It was early still, only five PM, and the place would be filling out by about seven. Tag’s eyes are focused on me, and mine on him. We are drawn to each other, always. It is a weird sensation, but one I am getting used to. It is almost as if I can feel when he enters and exits a room.

“Clara, do you want to make out in the back of Ryan’s new car?” Tag calls out, eyes bright with mischief.

“Hell no,” Ryan replies, smirking. “Christening the back seat is saved for Taiya.”

I’d never met Ryan’s wife, Taiya, but I’ve heard she is beautiful inside and out. Summer and her were really good friends. Taiya was pregnant and didn’t come out to the bar much, or so I was told.

Tag’s arm comes around me as he pulls me back against his chest. “Working hard I see.”

I playfully elbow him. “Everything is done, and you know it. Just waiting for the place to fill out now.”

His eyes dart to the back door leading to the office. Then, he glances at Ryan, who cracks up laughing.

“What’s so funny?” I ask, glancing between the two of them.

Summer smirks. “Ryan used to use that room as a f*ck pad before he settled down.”

My gaze cuts to Ryan. “Really?”

He shrugs sheepishly and leans against the counter. “It’s not very comfortable.”

Tag kisses the side of my neck. “Ryan, Clara and I need a break.”

“That can’t be very sanitary,” I whisper to him, frowning.

Summer laughs. “I’ll disinfect the room after.”

“And their hands,” Ryan adds.

“And mouths,” Tag says, grinning.

I look between all of them “Yeah, no. This is weird.”

Tag’s body shakes with silent laughter. I spin around and rest my breasts against his hard chest. “Why are you laughing? You have to wait all night until we get home to get some action now.”

“Home?” he asks, expression softening.

I shrug. “It’s my home for now.”

“Until she moves in with some sexy uni dude!” Summer calls out.

Tag looks at Summer then back at me. “What’s she talking about?”

I give Summer a less than impressed look then look Tag right in the eye. “I found a place to rent. I’ll be sharing with two students, one guy and one girl.”

He’s silent for a few tense seconds. “When were you going to tell me?”
