“Borrowed from a friend.” I cross the small patch of front lawn until I’m inches from her, our toes touching. “Hi.”

She lifts her chin and greets me with a dick-hardening smile. “I’m glad you’re here.”

“I’m glad I’m here too.”

“Ruby’s going to be so excited to see you.”

“Is she the only one?”

Maia tilts her head to the side. “I mean, I guess you’re alright to look at.”

I glance up at her windows, and when I don’t see any nosey partygoers, I lean in and brush a light kiss across her lips. “There’s more where that came from. It’s just an appetizer.”

“I thought the appetizer was me sitting on your face.”

“Fuck me.” I scratch my fingers down my face. “You can’t say shit like that to me and expect me to go into your house without a fucking hard on.”

“That cold shower didn’t do it for you?”

“For about two seconds. As soon as I started drying off, I thought about you, and I’ve been hard since.”

“So me saying I want to sit on your face didn’t cause the heat you’re packing in your jeans. It was already there.”

“Jesus.” She didn’t say shewantedto sit on my face the first time, and I was hard as steel. Now that I know she’s looking forward to it...

I glance back at the truck. “Wanna hop in the backseat and give it a test run?”

“As tempting as the offer is, I have a feeling the princess is going to come storming out here any second looking for you.”

I soften my gaze and stroke my knuckles across her cheek. “Do I need to stay away for a little longer?”

She shakes her head. “It’s just my sister and her husband and Flynn.” I resist the urge to growl at the mention of his name. “And for the record, they know about you.”

The caveman growl quickly vanishes and I’m filled with a light, airy sensation in my chest. “You told them about me?”

“Not Adam’s parents, but his sister and my sister know.”

“And Flynn?”

She nods. “I’m still not comfortable with a lot of PDA in front of Ruby. I don’t want her to get...”

To get hurt. To feel abandoned when I jump ship, as Trey thinks I’ll do once I tire of playing family man.

“I’ll follow your lead.”

“Thank you.”

“For the record, as soon as you give me the go-ahead, I’m stripping you naked, sucking on those glorious tits while I finger bang you to orgasm, and bringing you to a second screamingOwith my tongue. When you can’t feel your legs anymore, I’m going to bend you over the closest surface and fuck you hard from behind while I fondle your tits and your clit. Right before you come again, I’m going to back you against the closest wall, wrap your sexy legs around my hips, and fuck you until you see stars. I’m not going to come until you do. On my cock. We clear?”

Maia stares up at me in a sexual daze and I haven’t even touched her yet. I kiss the tip of her nose and place the palm of my hand on her lower back, guiding her to the front door like a respectable gentleman.

When I reach for the door, she stops me.

“Wait. I need a minute.” She fans herself with her hands and takes three deep, calming breaths. “You’re a dirty man, Ryder Benton.”

“Mm. And I know how much that turns you on.” I nip her ear and push open the door.

“Ry-Ry!” Ruby, in all her crazy hair, puffy dress glory, runs across the living room and hugs my legs.
