My orgasm slammed into me with such an intensity that I gasped, shoving the back of my head against the pillow, lifting my upper back. I didn't let go of his ass, just kept pushing him inside me, wanting every drop of pleasure. He thrust harder in one long push, and then he exploded.
We both collapsed and lay side by side, drawing in our breaths in short pants.
Tyler pushed a strand of hair behind my ear, looking me straight in the eyes.
"You’re amazing, Kendra. You're my woman, my partner.”
I smiled, inching closer to him. “I’m so happy we got home early.”
“Why?”
“I planned this whole thing to help you relax. The list was so long that I could only fit in a few things. But now we have time for so much more.”
“Like what?”
I grinned. “You’ll see. We’ll start with a shower, of course. And then you’re all mine. The whole night.”
He rolled on top of me the next second, pinning me to the mattress. Tipping his head, he drew his nose up the side of my neck. “The way I see things,youaremine.”
“Semantics,” I teased, tugging at his hair until he moved back a bit. “But either way, tonight will be epic.”
“Babe, it already is.”
CHAPTER 32
TYLER
Two weeks later
Several things weretrue in the Maxwell family.
One: birthday parties were huge events.
Two: Gran’s birthday party was not. She always insisted we keep it in the family. She chose a different way to celebrate every time. Sometimes we went somewhere outside the city, or we went to a restaurant. This year, she wanted a cookout in my parents’ yard. It was cold, two weeks before Christmas, but what Gran wanted, she got.
I arrived alone, later than all my brothers. Sam was here too, and he was staying over Christmas. Reese wasn’t here. She’d gone to Paris to visit Kimberly and was supposed to fly in this morning, but her flight was canceled, so she was returning tomorrow instead.
Kendra texted me that she was running late because of traffic.
My brothers were at the huge bar in the living room as usual. Travis was behind it, mixing drinks. Declan, Luke, and Tate were standing in front of it.
Gran, my parents, Sam, Lexi, and Paisley were sitting around the dining room table. I went to greet them first.
“Happy birthday, Gran.”
“Thank you, my boy.”
I turned to Sam. “Welcome back, brother.”
“Thanks.” He shook my hand, patting my shoulder. I took a good look at him. He had dark circles under his eyes. The first few days when he was back, he always looked exhausted, and I knew it wasn’t just because of jet lag. His work abroad wasn’t easy.
“Are we starting the cookout now?” I asked.
Mom shook her head. “We’ll wait for Kendra.”
“Okay.” I headed to the bar with Sam, inspecting the bottles when I came closer.
"Man, what's wrong with you?" Travis asked. "You look like you might need whiskey."
