Page 71 of Tomorrow's Never Promised

Selena and Kil walk over to the far side of the pool and remove their robes, tossing them onto a nearby lounge chair. They waste no time sinking into the spill-over spa. Selena sits in Killian’s lap and lays her head on his chest.

Liam finishes off his drink and runs his hands through his hair, sighing. “I’m sorry, baby. I feel like he’s been purposely playing games all night. We don’t have to stay here. We can head back to our room.”

Fuck that.

I straddle him, and kiss him like my life depends on it. “No way. I want you to make love to me in that pool. There is something sexy about the idea that someone could be watching us,” I say giddily.

He chuckles against my lips. “Ya. Killian and Selena will be the ones watching us.”

“Not if we scare them away.” I grind myself against him. “Mmmm,” I moan loudly against his lips.

Liam undoes the tie to my bathrobe and shimmies it down my shoulders. He dips his nose between my cleavage and inhales deeply. “Fuck, I love how you smell. Your perfume drives me wild.” His cock twitches underneath me, making me clench my thighs tighter around him.I need him inside me more than ever right now.

Kilenaneeds to get lost.Now.

“I need you,” I whisper in his ear.

He groans and yanks my robe all the way off. Determined fingers untie the strings of my bikini top. I cover myself as he removes it and tosses it aside. He stands abruptly, and throws me over his good shoulder, slapping my bare ass.

“Liam, don’t you dare!” I’m laughing and flailing, enjoying our fun.

His lighthearted laugh booms into the night air. He runs full force along the pavers to the deep end and jumps in. We break the surface of the water, and I wipe the hair out of my eyes, laughing hysterically.

“Liam, you asshole. You haven’t changed a bit!” Selena shrieks with laughter from behind us. Now soaked.

Killian is the complete opposite. His face could be carved from stone, looking royally pissed—and wet. He wipes the water off his face, throwing Liam the bird.

Liam wraps his needy fingers around my waist and swims us up against the wall. I wrap my legs around his hips. He cages his muscular tattooed arms around my head, shielding me from them. My arms circle his neck as he brings his lips to mine. We make out, not giving a fuck about the nearness of Killian and Selena.

The two of them start talking in hushed tones.

After a few lingering moments, I see them stand to get some towels.

Liam laughs and places his lips against my neck. “I knew that would work,” he mumbles against it.

“It definitely did.” I roll my hips against his erection.

It’sinsane how quickly weeks turned into months of us being on lockdown. The Cubans have been quiet while we have more than tripled our recruits. Killian felt confident enough to lift the mandatory lockdown today.

What perfect timing. Today is Madison’s birthday.

I planned a weekend getaway to Vermont for us to get some much-neededalone time. It’ll be just the two of us in a cozy cabin overlooking the mountains. Madison is ecstatic. She's already packed and ready to go. I need to finish up a few contracts and we are set.

I plan on asking Killian if we can use the jet, but I’m not sure if I’ll be getting Jekyll or Hyde today.

Having Killian’s room next to mine has been horrendous. He and Selena have been going at it like rabbits. If he isn’t working or at the gym—he's fucking her multiple times a day. I’m so ready to get Madison the fuck away from here.

I can’t say I blame him.

If I wasn’t so busy with my work, I’d be doing the same thing. Madison has been studying for her NCLEX. As much as I’d love to distract her, I know how important it is to her. She’s been super stressed out and anxious over it. Her graduation ceremony is approaching on May 1st. Her goal is to pass her test before she graduates so she can take a position at a hospital in New York. We have many connections here. She could choose any hospital she wants…but she doesn't want or need our help.

Maddy wants to discuss looking into hospitals in Connecticut too. We both would love to move back to my place. I’ll do whatever she wants—I’ll sell my place in Connecticut and get us a larger space in New York if she prefers to work here.

Life’s been getting back to normal. I think Killian is finally coming to terms with the idea of Madison and me. He has played fewer games over the weeks, but I still catch his eyes tracking Madison when we are around him.

He and Selena still haven’t made things official—at least—I haven’t heard anything. Madison goes to the gym with her a few times a week, and she hasn’t mentioned anything to her either.Poor lass.

I am going over a contract in the upstairs office when Killian knocks on the door. I look up from my paperwork. “Hey, Kil.”
