Broken Dreams (Broken 2)

Whitley smiled. “Come on, Layton, let’s be crazy and have—”

“No!” Courtney yelled out.

Two tables full of people turned and looked at her.

“Oh no. No more public sex until Reed and I catch up.”

I choked on my own spit. “What?” I yelled out.

Courtney stood up, reached for my hand, and began pulling for me to stand up.

I started panicking. “Where…where are we going?” I asked her as I saw nothing but determination in her eyes.

“We’re going to have sex in the rental car in the parking lot.” She turned and started walking toward the door.

My mouth dropped open, and I looked at Layton and then Whitley, who was trying to hide the fact that she was giggling.

“Oh my God. What happened to the girl I married?”

Layton shrugged his shoulders and lost it, laughing. Whitley followed his lead and laughed her ass off.

“Reed! Come on!” Courtney called out before walking out the door.

“What’s…what’s happening?” I said as I slowly followed Courtney outside.

I stood next to the rental car and waited for Reed to make his way over to unlock it.

Ugh. I can’t believe Whitley. Some best friend she is.

Reed walked up to me and gave me a weak smile. “Um…Courtney, you’re kind of freaking me out here.”

I placed my hand on my hip and looked at him. “Why?”

He put his hand behind his neck and began rubbing it while twisting his head like crazy. “Courtney, what happened in the club was hot—very, very hot. But something like that will never happen again. Baby, what’s gotten into you? Please tell me this is just some crazy thing because you’re pregnant, and you’re not thinking straight.”

I dropped my hand and leaned against the car. I stood there for a few moments before looking at Reed, horror filling my eyes. I slowly put my hand up to my mouth and said, “Oh my God. What were we thinking? We’re gonna be parents!”

Reed closed his eyes and whispered, “Thank you, God. She’s coming back to me.”

I tried not to giggle. “We should have at least gone into the restroom and done it in a stall.”

Reed snapped his eyes open and gave me a shocked look. “What?”

I started laughing uncontrollably.

“What is so damn funny?” he asked.

“You! I wish you could have seen your face just now.” I pushed off the car, walked up to him, and placed my hand on his chest. “Okay, I’ll admit that I got a little crazy with the whole thing. I’m a bit…competitive.”

Reed smiled and pushed a piece of my hair behind my ear. “A bit?”

I let out a giggle. “Okay…a lot. I had no intentions of having sex in the rental car. I just wanted to see your face…and Whitley’s.”

Slowly shaking his head, Reed pulled me closer to him and placed his finger under my chin, slowly pulling it up until our eyes locked with each other. “I love you so much. Do you know that?”

“I think you should show me.”

He leaned down and took my lower lip in between his teeth, and then he sucked on it as I let out a moan. He let it go and began kissing me so sweetly. When his hand moved around my back and pulled me in closer, I wanted to fall apart in his arms. Being in Reed’s embrace, feeling his love pour into my body, was the most wonderful place in the world.
