Once there, I see Reed chatting and having coffee with Johnny and Stevie. They smile over at me, and Stevie offers a cup of coffee.

“Oh, yes please.”

“I’m sure we’ll all be needing the caffeine today. It was a late night. But so fun!”

Stevie sounds happy, if tired, and I thank my damn lucky stars that it doesn’t look like she or my brother know what happened.

Reed’s eyes catch mine for a moment, and we both struggle to hold back a smirk. I have to break eye contact all too quickly because I’m seconds from giggling to myself.

“It was fun. I should have a birthday every weekend.” Johnny smiles and sips his coffee.

As Stevie puts some eggs and bacon on, she rolls her eyes. “We could also just have more get-togethers. It doesn’t have to be someone’s birthday for our friends and family to come hang out.”

No one misses how she cocks a brow at Reed, and I smile as I bury my face in my mug.

The food smells divine, and it’s just what we all need to ease our hangovers. After scooping up some breakfast on a plate, I sit across the table from Reed next to Johnny and dig in.

“Thank you, Stevie. This is perfect.”

“Of course. But I wouldn’t turn down some help cleaning up as payment.” She raises her brows at me.

I nod and offer a salute. “Aye, aye, captain.”

We all laugh, and then I’m staring at Reed again. I can see his eyes flicker to my cleavage as he takes a bite of eggs, and my cheeks burn ever so slightly.

“How about you, Reed? Are you willing to stay and help?” Johnny asks.

“I would, truly. But I need to get back to Henry. Heather will want her house back.”

I smile over at him, taking another gulp of lifesaving coffee. “What are you guys up to today? I know Henry has mentioned going to the park at least once a day this week. You could take him. It would be an easy way for him to play and you sit on a bench and relax a little.”

Reed grins back but then shakes his head. “Unfortunately, we can’t. We have some family we have to visit today. His grandparents. But maybe another time.”

My heart squeezes. It’s probably an important trip, one that Reed planned, but I still don’t like seeing Henry’s desires always put on the back burner.

“Well, just be sure to go before it gets too cold.”

Reed nods. “I will. Maybe next weekend.”

We all finish eating, and when I excuse myself to the bathroom again, I’m surprised to see Reed just outside the door when I come out from swishing some mouthwash.

“Oh, hi. What’s up?” I pause in the doorway.

“Up? Oh, just me.”

Reed pushes me back into the bathroom, closing and locking the door behind us. I can feel his erection as Reed presses me against the wall.

“Reed, what are you doing?”

His hands roam over my body, hiking up my dress and finding the wetness growing between my legs. My head falls back on a moan.

“I had to get one more taste. Tomorrow seems way too far away.”

His hushed words cover my skin in a layer of blossoming arousal that leaves my knees weak. His fingers dip inside my panties, sliding deep as he strokes my sensitive core.

“Keep quiet, Lil Bit. Keep quiet and come for me.”

Reed moves his fingers with quick, decisive strokes while applying pressure to my clit with his thumb, melting me into a puddle of bliss in seconds. It’s beyond impressive how fast he can work me up to an orgasm.
