Always With You (The Connor Family 6)

The change took me by surprise, and I instinctively moved toward him, but he stopped me with a hand pressing gently on the middle of my back as he slipped inside.

I felt so utterly alive and so very... loved. I couldn’t even... oh God, how could he make me feel so many things at the same time?

“Reid, ffffuck.” I stuttered on every syllable as my body lit up. I became oblivious to anything except the exquisite pleasure. The muscles in my belly contracted. Our sounds filled the room, our bodies urging each other closer to a climax. My legs started to shake. I wasn’t prepared to come again so soon, and my whole body gave in, reveling in the pleasure, in hearing Reid cry out my name.

I felt like putty as I collapsed on the bed, smiling when Reid dropped right next to me. He feathered one hand up and down my back. After a few minutes, I pushed myself up. I had to go clean up.

When I returned, Reid was on his feet, casually leaning against a wall, still as naked as the day he was born. When I was close enough, he dipped his head, circling one nipple with his tongue before gently sucking it in his mouth.

“What was that for?” I fake-chastised him.

“Didn’t give them enough attention before. Was just making up for it.”

I giggled. “By all means, go on then. Just make sure your arm is around my waist. Or you pin me against a wall.”

“Why the specific instructions?”

“My knees are a bit wobbly.”

“Really? And why is that?”

“Might be because a certain someone just had his wicked way with me. His very wicked way.”

He kissed my forehead, pulling me into a naked, messy hug. I loved it. He still hadn’t showered, but I loved it.

“Your plan extends beyond getting into my pants, Mr. Davenport?”

“Why, Ms. Connor. I thought you had the midnight fireworks on the lake on your list.”

I opened my mouth. “You looked at my list? And here I was, thinking I took you by surprise with my hidden gems. You cheated.”

“Had to know when to book the massage, didn’t I?”

“Uh-uh. You’re taking sneaky to a whole new level.”

“I do what I can. So, come on, cover that pretty ass with a dress while I shower, and let’s head out.”

I put an extra sway in my hips as I walked through the room, looking over my shoulder at his huge grin. My heart felt ten times its size. I wanted to enjoy every single moment, and I was rubbing off on him. Mission accomplished.

Chapter Twenty

Hailey

“Hey, stop it, you’re not carrying that,” I told Val on Friday, while we were bringing the food to the living room.

“Hailey, it’s not even a pound.”

I bit my lip. “You’re right, sorry. I’m overreacting.”

“You think? You already banned me from my own kitchen.”

“Hey, that’s not how it happened,” Lori protested.

Val liked being the boss in her kitchen, but between all of us, we’d convinced her to let us cook dinner and just oversee us.

“You got to boss us; we felt as if we were actually useful, so win-win for everyone,” I said.

Cooking for more than a dozen people was no small feat. At the rate the family was growing, we’d need a caterer soon for our Friday dinners.
