“You’ll thank me in about ten minutes,” she whispers and winks.

My mom starts jumping like a schoolgirl, clapping her hands.

“Laci, what did you do?” Stella a

sks nervously.

“Stella Bella, Dana told me the McCoy’s used to love a good pool volleyball tournament, followed by copious amounts of drinks and dancing. I brought bathing suits, towels, liquor, and overnight clothes in case we need them. I heard someone named Mason was having a birthday.”

She looks around and my brother actually blushes. I don’t blame him. Laci is a beautiful woman and her outfit hugs her body tightly. I quickly introduce everyone.

Laci and Dana start talking at once and I catch Stella’s eyes. She’s smiling widely, looking at all the people we love with kindness. Mia scoots up to me and starts whispering in Spanish. I listen and nod approvingly. She moves away and goes to get the blender, while I take the enormous bag to the patio.

“Girls to the house, boys to the cabana! Everyone change and meet back in fifteen minutes. Matt, please set up the volleyball net!” my mom yells and pulls Stella and Laci with her to the living room.

I yank Stella away and my mom’s eyes soften. The rest of the women disappear, dragging the bag behind them.

“You okay?” I ask, rubbing my finger along her jaw.

“Absolutely, you?”

“My mom hasn’t smiled this much in years. You’re a miracle worker.”

“It’s not me, it’s you. She loves you so much. I’m just happy to be here. Thank you for making me come.”

My shorts grow tight at her words, having her so close makes me want to lay her down and fuck her senseless. “Making you come has become one of my favorite things to do.”

“Maxwell!” She swats me playfully, smiling.

“You know how to play pool volleyball?”

“I’ve been known to do well in the past. You better watch it.”

“I look forward to it. Now, tell me where is Landon changing?”

“I’ll invite him in with the girls, if you’re uncomfortable.”

“I’m not uncomfortable at all. I know where my dick sleeps at night.”

Her breath hitches, which makes me grow harder. “Where is that?”

“Beside the most gorgeous girl in the world. Sometimes right against the sweet skin of her ass if her nightie rises, giving me full access.”

“Max—”

“Stella! Can you two lovebirds cut it out for a few hours? We have to get you ready!” Laci shuts the French door behind us roughly and I curse her existence. My hard on is raging.

“I better go. I’ll see you in a sec.” She kisses me quickly and disappears.

When I turn around several sets of eyes are watching me from the cabana and laughing. I adjust my cock in my shorts and run to them. I need to change and be in the cold water before my mom joins us.

“You’re gone, man,” Mason says to me as he throws me a suit.

“I’m not denying it. She’s perfect.”

Laci was right. I do want to thank her. And then kill her. The raise-my-blood-pressure moment is when Stella walked out in a hot pink, halter-top bikini. I grab the closest towel and stalk to her. Her eyes grow wide and my mom starts howling. Everyone else joins in, but I don’t see the humor. Laci tries to step in, but I side butt her and cover Stella in a single wrap.

“What are you wearing?” I growl.
