“I’m getting the turkey dinner, so if you want to get the chicken pot pie, you can always have some of my turkey.” Reid put his menu down and reached across the table. I put my hand in his. I knew that we looked like lovesick fools. I could see it on his face, and I knew mine must look the same.
Oh, well. I liked feeling his skin against me. I liked knowing that he wanted to touch me just as much as I wanted to touch him.
I knew what I felt for Reid wasn’t just an attraction or even lust.
I loved him. I was in love with him.
And there was no doubt in my mind that he felt the same.
The server dropped off our dinner, and Reid and I had to drop our connection so we could eat.
Reid pushed his plate across the table. My brow furrowed.
“Move over,” he said as he got up and came around to my side of the booth.
“Reid,” I chided. “We don’t need to sit on the same side of the booth.”
My bottom lip pulled into my mouth as my eyes danced with amusement. I pushed closer to the window to make room for him. Sure, we didn’thaveto sit on the same side, but I kind of liked that we were.
“I couldn’t put my hands on you from over there without having to reach across the table. This is way easier.”
My face was split into a big grin as I laughed at him. There was no decorum with Reid. There was no pretense or playing around. He was who he was. I was a little envious of his confidence in showing himself without restraint, but morethan that, I loved it about him.
Reid kept his hand on my thigh while we ate.
It was only five months ago that I would have been in a Michelin-star restaurant, sitting across from someone who wouldn’t be caught dead holding my hand across a tabletop.
Calla Bay had changed me in more ways than I could count. I found that I liked who I was here.

I woke up on Monday morning in Reid’s bed. Instead of dropping me off at my place last night, he brought me back to his house. The shower was running, so I decided to help him conserve water by joining him. I opened the bathroom door, wearing nothing but one of his T-shirts.
Reid’s heated gaze raked over me. He looked like a god standing in the stream of water. His broad chest tapered to a slim waist, iliac furrows sculpted into his hips. His muscular thighs looked like they were made of steel. But it was his swollen cock that stole the show.
I pulled the shirt over my head, letting it drop to the floor.
“Do you mind if I join you?”
“Damn, love. You have no idea the number of fantasies I’ve had that start this exact way. Get your ass in here.”
I stepped into the spray of water and rubbed my hands up his chest before wrapping them around his neck. His kiss was like fire. He wound one arm around my waist, trailing his hand over my butt, his other hand massaging my breast.
“Mmm,” I moaned. I reached between us and wrapped myhand around him, stroking him. “What was next in your fantasies? Would I get on my knees for you?”
“Yes. You would take me in your mouth, all the way to the back of your throat.” His growl was pure lust. I dropped to my knees and looked at Reid from under my lashes. He fisted my hair in his hand, holding on to me.
I licked up his shaft, watching him intently. I circled his tip with my tongue before taking him into my mouth. My eyes closed as I took him deep, feeling him hit the back of my throat just like it wanted.
“Eyes on me, love. I want to watch you,” he said, his voice strained.
My eyes were watering, but I kept my suction tight and worked him relentlessly.
“God, you have no idea how sexy you look.” He thrust his hips into my mouth, his hold on my head setting the pace. I let him fuck my mouth, trying not to gag but knowing that he liked it when I did anyway.
He was close. His thrusts were becoming wilder, his hold on me tighter. I cupped his balls, tugging on them lightly. Reid growled, and I had never felt more powerful or desired. He pulled out of my mouth just as his orgasm hit, his warm jets of release covering my breasts.
Reid bundled me from the shower floor and wrapped me in a tight embrace. He leaned back against the wall, breathing heavily. “Holy shit. I didn’t even have time to warn you, it hit me so fast. You are incredible.”
