“Why do you always have to sneak up on me?”

Grady chuckled. “It’s too easy.”

Maverick laughed and shook his head. “Are you done for the day?”

“Yep, unless you need anything?”

“No, go home. I’ll see you in the morning.”

Grady tilted his head. “So, you’re not going to tell me what, or… who, has you smiling? It must be that woman you wouldn’t admit to seeing.”

“If we weren’t friends, I’d tell you to fuck off.”

“I think you just did.” Grady grinned. “See you tomorrow.”

Maverick nodded and watched as Grady walked out of the barn. They were best friends, bonding quickly after starting at the Triple C ranch within a year of each other.

Finishing up his work for the day, Maverick hurried to his truck eager to get home to Parker. He was grateful she had decided to surprise him tonight; he had been disappointed thinking they wouldn’t be able to see each other. Despite spending the entire weekend together, he still wanted her every minute of every day. Plus, the fact that they didn’t have sex at his parents’ house only made him more desperate for her.

He started the truck and drove as fast as he could to his house. Parking next to the front porch, he turned off the engine and practically ran inside.

As soon as he saw her standing there, he pulled her into his arms and pressed his lips against hers. She pulled away slightly.

“You need a shower,” she said with a hand over her nose.

He chuckled. “If you had been working your ass off in a hot barn all day, you’d need one too.”

She ran her hands down his backside. “It doesn’t feel like you worked it off. Good thing, I like this ass.”

“I’ll take a quick shower.” He stepped away and headed to the bathroom. Glancing over his shoulder, he added, “Would you like to join me?”

“I thought you’d never ask.” She walked toward him.

He took her hand and led her to the bathroom. As it turned out, their shower wasn’t so quick after all.

Parker rolled over and looked at the clock on the bedside table, seeing it was almost two in the morning. She wasn’t sure what woke her, but she now felt wide awake. She turned onto her side to face Maverick. He was sound asleep. It amazed her that he slept so quietly. Brad had snored like a freight train.

She touched Maverick’s chest, but he didn’t stir. She wanted him again. Slowly, she moved her hand down his chest, stomach, and under the sheet draped across his waist, to his dick. When she wrapped her fingers around it, he groaned, but didn’t wake up. That was about to change.

Parker rolled on top of him and kissed his lips.

“This is a nice way to wake me up,” he murmured.

His lips were warm and urgent against hers, his hands fisting in her hair as he kissed her back with equal passion. She moaned into his mouth and slid her lips across his cheek, down to his earlobe and sucked it into her mouth. Moving down his neck, Parker left a trail of hot kisses on his skin, feeling the goosebumps rise beneath her touch.

As she circled her tongue around his nipple, Maverick groaned and arched his back. Encouraged by his response, Parker continued moving lower until she reached the happy trail that circled his belly button. She could feel his cock hardening beneath her body as she lay on top of him.

Scooting further down, she grasped him in her hand and put her mouth over him without hesitation. As soon as she heard him moan and felt his hands tighten in her hair, Parker knew she was doing something right. She felt powerful and confident to have this man react so strongly to her touch.

She sat up and looked into Maverick’s face to see him staring at her with intense desire. Without breaking eye contact, she lowered her head again and ran the tip of her tongue along the sensitive head of his cock before sliding her mouth over him and sucking hard. Maverick’s hips moved in rhythm with her mouth, guiding her movements and urging for more.

Parker didn’t stop until she heard Maverick groan out her name and looked up at him from between his legs.

“What?” she asked.

“You have to stop,” he said breathlessly.
