"Oh, for goodness' sake! We're going into the hot tub with the others. There won't be any men in them with us. Stop acting like Netherlanders." Sofie shakes the material she had been holding and slips it over her head. Judean does the same. "Happy now?" She grabs Judean by the elbow and tugs her forward. "We'll get going."
They step around us. It takes a few moments to realize that I haven't asked Sofie about Ryland and Tisha. "Wait up! I need to borrow Sofie for a moment." I take my woman and walk her back inside the cabin while Colton takes her place beside Judean.
"Maddox, what's gotten into?—"
My mouth finds hers the second the door shuts behind us. I grab her butt, hoisting her up against the door, and move in to press my body against hers. Our tongues slide together as the kiss deepens into languid strokes. I shudder when her fingers slide through my hair. Her pussy rubs frantically against my hard dick while Sofie moans into my mouth. I didn't bring her in here for this. I've lost my mind. For her. This is nuts.
I use my body to keep her pressed against the door and tug on the string holding her tiny panties together. Her mound is perfect, lightly dusted with hair. Her breasts heave as I hold her gaze and slip a finger between her legs. Her body quivers, andwhen I feel how wet she is for me, I nearly lose it completely. The moment I slip my finger inside her warm, wet pussy, she falls apart. Her back arches, thrusting her breasts into my face. Her head slams against the door behind her. I descend on her breasts, biting down on a hard nipple. Her fingers dig into my shoulders. She lets out a loud, keening wail, and her body pulses around my digit as she comes.
My dick is so hard that I don't know how I've managed to stave off my orgasm. I want to shove my jeans down and pin her to the door with my cock. I'd come just from being inside her. That's how wound up I am right now.
"Oh," she whispers once she's come back down to earth.
I drop my forehead to hers, panting harshly, and grin. "You're fucking beautiful when you come." Her cheeks are red, and her lips are swollen, which causes my heart to clench.
"We shouldn't have done this."
My heart falls to my feet.
Her fingers dig into my arms. "I mean, I haven't told Richard that I can't marry him yet." She pants. “I’ve removed the ring.”
Delighted to hear that, I turn and carry her to the bed, being careful not to crush her as I follow her down. I surround her and brush my lips over hers. "You need to tell him." I whisper, feeling a rush of excitement when one of her leg’s curls around my hips.
"I will." She places her hands on my face, using her fingers to brush my hair behind my ears. With her hands still on my face, she looks deep into my eyes and says, "I need that part of my life to be over."
My heart pounds against my breastbone, and I close my eyes in relief. Opening them again, I notice a soft smile on Sofie's lips. I lean down and kiss her before climbing off her. Wincing, I adjust myself and offer her a gentle smile. I offer her my hand and help her off the bed. I retrieve her cover-up and panties.
"You do know there are only going to be women in the hot tub, right?" She says struggling to fasten the strings of her bikini panties.
I gather one side and fasten it for her while she does the other. Then, I take the cover-up and slip it over her head, exhaling when she’s covered. "My brothers have perfect vision, Sofie. I trust them around you, but I don't want them seeing you half-naked." I shrug. "I'm a possessive asshole."
Suddenly, she wraps herself around me. "I like the possessive asshole in you." She moves away and pokes me in the belly. "I'd better go rescue Judean." She snickers. "Your brother has a thing for her, huh?"
"My baby brother needs to keep it in his pants with the guests."
She raises an eyebrow. "Really?"
"He's twenty-three. He plays the field. Your friend is too nice for Colton to fuck and then walk away, which he will do."
"Oh."
I run my hands through my hair and offer a wry grin. "I was coming to get the story about Ryland and Tisha." Her eyes shoot up, so I continue, "She's filed an official complaint with the sheriff's office."
Gasping, Sofie gives me a startled look. "I can't believe she did that." Pause. "Actually, I can." Puffing out a breath, she stands with her hands on her hips. "Tisha was trying to take a picture and stood too close to the edge. Ryland pulled her back. She said he touched her without permission. From the looks of things, she would have fallen into the river if he hadn't grabbed her. I didn't see it all go down. I heard about it." She winces. "I'll talk to her.”
"I'm not sure that's such a good idea. She'll want to know how you know." I shrug. "Let's get you and Judean into the hot tub.”I wrap an arm around her shoulders, give her a brief hug, and open the door.
As Maddox ushersme out the door, I can still feel his touch on my skin. I meet Judean's flushed gaze, then look at Colton, who looks disgruntled. I hide my snicker behind a pleasant grin. "Judean, are you ready to get wet?"
Her eyes widen. Maddox huffs, trying not to laugh. Colton smiles as widely as he can.
"Oh my God! Get your minds out of the gutter!" I move forward and grab Judean by the elbow. As I move past Colton, I shoot him a glare. He snaps his mouth closed, but his eyes dance with mischief. "Keep walking," I whisper to Judean.
As we approach the end of the path, we see the others are already in the hot tub. I look back at Colton and Maddox, who are standing together with their arms crossed and grinning mischievously at us. I can't help but laugh as we reach the deck.
It's difficult to choose which hot tub to get into because Catherine is in one and Samantha in the other. I decide to go for Samantha's, as there is room for the two of us. I shake off my cover-up, step into the water, and sit down, sighing. "Whoever made the decision to do this, thank you!"
"That would be me," Samantha says.
