“Always will, you know that. Now, how about we go home and watch our two favorite movies and chill out?”
“Let’s do it. I think we should watch Star Wars first because you just saved the day,” she said as I moved her off my lap and climbed out of the truck.
Once I was in the driver’s seat, I glanced over. She was still staring down at her phone as he continued to text her.
It bothered me that he kept fucking with her head. He’d cut her off, had gotten fully into another relationship, and didn’t have a care in the world about Reese.
Until he found out that she was coming home and that she was with me.
And the minute he thought she was happy without him, he wanted to swoop back in.
That didn’t sit well with me, but I wasn’t about to take this moment from her. She was happy, and I’d just have to deal with it.
“How exactly did I save the day?”
“Well, that kiss clearly sent him sideways.” She chuckled, tucking her phone back into her purse.
“Yeah. It was a spur-of-the-moment decision.”
“It was a good one.”
“Good decision or good kiss?” I chuckled as I pulled into my garage.
She turned to face me. “I mean, I haven’t kissed anyone in over a year, and you are a trained actor.”
I barked out a laugh. “Damn straight. And I’ve always loved kissing, so obviously I’m good at it.”
“If you say so, Romeo.” She jumped out of the truck, and I slipped out and shut the garage door.
“Well, I didn’t say it first; you did. Just admit it. Best kiss you’ve ever had.”
“I’m not going to say that.”
“Because it isn’t true, or because you feel guilty admitting your ex-boyfriend is a terrible lover?”
She set her purse down on the kitchen island and gaped at me. “I never said that. I said he has some medical limitations with certain things, but he’s a great lover. I mean, not that I have anything to compare him to. You know that he’s the only guy I’ve ever been with.”
“That still breaks my heart,” I said, pressing my hand to my chest dramatically. “You should have had a fling in London. Had some fun. Only being with Carl would be like never eating anything but a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.”
She rolled her eyes and crossed her arms over her chest. “Just because I’m not like you does not mean my way is the wrong way. I found a guy I loved my senior year of high school, and I like monogamy.”
I grabbed two bottles of water from the fridge and motioned for her to follow me to the couch. My home had one big open great room with a large brown sectional couch that Reese had picked out a while back. I set the water bottles down and kicked off my favorite cowboy boots and sat down. Reese did the same and reached for the throw blanket on the back of the couch.
“I’m not saying you have to sleep around. I’m just saying… being with one person, especially Carl, for your entire life—never having an orgasm…” I shrugged. “Where’s the fun in that?”
Her cheeks pinked, but I didn’t regret saying it. Reese and I had always been honest with one another. I wasn’t going to stop now.
“I never said that I’ve never had an orgasm. I said I’ve never had one with Carl.” She raised a brow.
My motherfucking dick responded like a caged bull breaking free after the gates opened. He sprung to life and was ready for action. I adjusted myself as inconspicuously as possible, but her eyes moved down, and she shook her head.
“You’re unbelievable. All it takes is the slightest breeze, and there he is again, showing off.”
But it wasn’t a breeze my dick was responding to.
It was Reese.
But I’d write it off to my lack of sex lately.
“Let’s finish this intriguing conversation,” I said.
“Only you would find a conversation about orgasms intriguing.” Her tongue dipped out to wet her lips, and I couldn’t look away.
Had she always had such pouty pink lips?
“I will not apologize for knowing the importance of the orgasm. I always make sure my lady climaxes first. I’m a generous lover. So, tell me, when was the last time you orgasmed?”
“Oh my God, Chewy. Why are we talking about this?”
“Hey.” I held my hands up and laughed. “You want to fix things with the asshole, and part of that will be improving your sex life. Trust me, Miney. If the sex had been fabulous, you wouldn’t have considered leaving him for a year.”
