Maverick can’t see what’s going on, but I nearly cry out as the orgasm hits. I stop myself by biting down on Heath’s bare shoulder.
I miss whatever exchanges between them and I’m coming down, body still shuddering, when the door closes. My head falls forward into his chest as I catch my breath.
Heath pulls me into a hug and kisses the top of my head.
“Did that really just happen?” I squeak, apparently out loud though not intentionally.
He chuckles, deep and throaty. “God, I hope so, but we can try again if you need to be certain.”
I lift my face and wrap my arms around his neck. “I should go before Dakota comes looking for me.”
He steps back and adjusts himself.
“Are you going to be okay?” I bite my lip. Maybe there’s time. Hand jobs for him and her.
“Go. I’m fine. I’ll see you in the morning. I’ll still be hard then — don’t worry. Seems to be a constant thing around you.”

“My brother will be home any minute.” I squirm as Heath’s hands slide up my shirt and his hot mouth sucks on my collarbone.
“All the more reason to get naked quicker then.”
The door opens and I sit up straight and elbow Heath inadvertently. He groans and leans back in his chair as Adam and Rhett walk into the house.
“Hey guys,” I say cheerily and reach for a pencil on the table.
“Ginny?” Adam’s brows pull together. “What are you doing here?”
“Studying with Maverick.”
Adam quirks a brow.
“He’s on his way over. He had to let Charli out.”
“Oh, cool. You wanna stay for dinner?”
“Actually, I promised Reagan and Dakota we’d grab food when I was done.”
“Invite them too. Mav can grill.”
“You cook?” I ask the always shirtless Maverick as he walks in the front door with Charli.
“I grill.”
“Is that different?”
“It’s manly and awesome.”
“Which is different than cooking?”
He grins. “Open flame.”
Dakota and Reagan agree to come over to the guys’ place for dinner and the seven of us sit around the outdoor table.
My brother might be oblivious to me and Heath, but my friends are not. Dakota corners me when I go inside to grab ketchup.
“What is going on with you and Heath? More kissing since last weekend?”
Reagan is right behind her, shutting the door and joining us.
“It’s no big deal,” I try, but I’m sure the smile on my face gives me away.
Reagan’s dimples pop out and Dakota shakes her head. “You absolutely slept with him!”
“No, we haven’t yet, but you cannot tell anyone that we’re… whatever. Promise?”
Dakota looks to Reagan. “She’s talking to you.”
Reagan tries to look offended but then rolls her eyes. “I already knew. Besides, I’m good at keeping secrets of the heart. I won’t say anything.”
“Do you really think your brother would care?” Dakota asks. “I mean, he’s one to talk.”
“I’m not sure, but I don’t want to cause a big thing. Heath and I are just… hanging out. If Adam finds out, he’ll be all overbearing about it, and I don’t want that. Judgment free fun.”
“And hot, dirty sex?” Dakota smirks.
I feel my face warm.
“How are you planning on keeping it from him? They live together, G,” Reagan reminds me.
“I don’t know. I haven’t thought that far ahead.” I don’t like the idea of outright lying to my brother and I hope it doesn’t come to that.
Dakota snickers. “Well, you better figure it out because the two of you are beyond obvious. He’s going to catch on.”
There’s no reason to worry tonight, though. As soon as dinner is over, Adam leaves to go to Taryn’s and Rhett goes to his room to call his girlfriend. Maverick already knows so when Heath pins me against the counter in the kitchen, I let him kiss me like I’ve been dying to for the past two hours.
He hums into my mouth as his hands come up and wrap around the back of my neck. My fingers fly to the hem of his shirt, craving the feel of his skin against mine.
“I need to get you naked,” he mumbles into my mouth.
“You two want to watch a movie?” Maverick asks.
Neither of us answers as we keep on kissing. Heath’s hard and he presses into me with a groan. A pillow flies by our head and hits the cabinet door to my left.
“What the hell, Mav?”
“You two are a major bummer. Everyone’s getting laid but me. Come hang out with me. Let me feel up your girl a little. Seems fair.”
“Like hell,” Heath growls, but he pulls me to the living room.
I can tell by Maverick’s smile that he’s just trying to get a rise out of Heath. Not that I doubt he’d like to feel me up because I think Mav is game to feel up just about anyone, but there are zero sexual vibes between us.
Heath’s possessive side is hot though, so I follow him. He sits in the chair and pulls me on top of him. I hesitate to get comfortable, knowing Rhett could catch us at any moment. Heath doesn’t seem to give it a second thought.
We watch the first half of some action movie. Heath teases me, fingers absently roaming over my skin. He doesn’t seem all that affected, minus the huge erection poking me, until suddenly he stands and carries me to his room, calling out to Mav as we leave, “Sorry, buddy, you’re on your own.”
I giggle as he lays me down on the bed and stands tall to remove his shirt. “What if I wanted to watch the rest of the movie?”
He unbuttons my shorts and pulls them and my panties down before he answers. “Say the word and we can move this back out to the living room.” His head dips and then his tongue flattens over my center, sending a jolt through my body. He glances up, eyes dark and taunting. “What do you say,
