“It’s not her time of the month, is it?” Jeremy asked in a hushed whisper.

I shot him a warning look. “Don’t you dare even think about asking her that.”

“Mmm,” I murmured as Jeremy’s head lifted from between my thighs.

He crawled up the bed and settled in beside me, taking my hand and entwining our fingers. We were both post double orgasm, and I could’ve stayed in bed the rest of the day.

It was the last day of the reunion. Things seemed to be going well with Jace and Lexi, so Jeremy and I had decided to spend our final full morning making love to the sound of the waves. It was incredible.

“I love vacation sex,” I informed him, stretching and wishing we could stay here forever.

“You just love sex, Sierra,” he said, his cocky grin widening. “And you love my dick.”

I rolled my eyes, and he rolled on top of me, pressing his still-semi-hard erection in between my legs.

“Say it,” he beckoned.

“Mmm mmm,” I refused, shaking my head.

My hips arched of their own volition when the now rock hard length of him pushed into my core. I whimpered as soon as he withdrew, then plunged back inside.

“You don’t get it if you don’t say it,” he warned with a leisurely rhythm that was both calculated and electrifying.

Jeremy knew exactly what he was doing. He was bringing me to the brink, then retreating just enough for my orgasm to dissipate. Over and over again until I was writhing beneath him with pulsating need.

“I love your dick,” I panted, rising up to meet his urgent thrust. “I fucking love your dick, Jeremy. Fuck.”

I couldn’t help it. He was right. I loved his dick, and when he rolled to his back, I rode it hard and fast until I was coming again.

“Okay, now that you’ve successfully quenched my thirst, let’s go get Ava so Jace can do the same for Lexi.”

He gave me a quick peck. “Love you, babe. Love your sister. But I don’t want to think about McAllister’s dick when mine’s inside you. Not a good mental image here.”

I laughed then gripped him. “I guess I better replace it.”

A little while later, we took a break from our sex filled morning to join our family at the pool. As soon as Jeremy and I stepped onto the patio, I stopped in my tracks. I released a sigh, practically melting at the sight before me.

Jace, Lexi, and Ava were splashing around in the pool.

Correction. Lexi and Ava were ganging up on Jace, and he was taking the brunt of it in perfect stride.

“Huh,” Jeremy said beside me.

I looked up at him through my sunglasses. “Huh, indeed,” I replied. I gripped his arm and laid my head against his bicep. “I think we did good.”

He grinned down at me, his glasses falling just a bit so I could see his eyes. “From the looks of things, I’d say we did great.”

They didn’t even notice us. Ava was hooting and hollering. Lexi was laughing in a way I hadn’t seen her do in so long. And Jace? Jace was smiling wide. He looked like a man in love.

I was pretty sure that’s exactly what he was.

As Jeremy laid our towels out, I tore my cover up off and scampered across the pool, splashing the three of them with a cannonball.

Jeremy was laughing his ass off at the drenched trio. He held his hands up in Jace’s direction. “I’m glad they’ve found another man to torture. So much so that I think I’ll sit this one out.”

“Daddy, come in the water so we can play!”

“Sorry, baby, but Daddy’s staying out of the water this time,” he said, causing her to frown from Jeremy to Jace. “You’re no fun! I need you to come in here and play sharks with me. Jace tried to but he didn’t make a very good one. He was kind of slow.”

I couldn’t help my snicker. “Getting slow in your old age, eh, McAllister? I’ve heard you’ve been having issues with…your speed.”

Lexi, having heard me, shut me up with a splash of water to the face. Ava decided that it was time for another water war, so the three of us went at it. I barely noticed Jace make his escape because Lexi’s smile was so bright that I was nearly blinded. She was radiating happiness, and I couldn’t help but feel a sense of pride that I’d helped put it there.

I was still laughing when Jace joined me on the patio. The girls were up in arms, splashing each other incessantly. I couldn’t miss the happiness radiating from Lexi. Happiness I hadn’t seen in nearly two years.

“I don’t know how you do it, man. Those three are crazy,” he said.

I couldn’t really argue, so I nodded, all the while smiling widely. “Dude, they’re a handful, but I couldn’t imagine my life without them. It’d be so boring. They’re my girls and I love ’em.”

Jace continued to stare after them while we sat in silence, watching as the girls continued playing.

“So, how’s everything going, man? Sierra’s pretty excited you and Lexi have been hanging out so much.”

He tore his gaze from the pool and glanced at me, trying to figure out what to say. How much to say. “Things are going really well. It feels like nothing’s changed, like we weren’t just apart for so many years. We’ve been able to catch up on the last decade of our lives, and it’s just been great to be around her again.”

“That’s good to hear. We always wondered what the hell happened, but she’d never tell us. I know Sierra planned out this whole thing so you two would have to interact again. I have to admit I was nervous because I wasn’t sure if Lexi was ready. But I gotta tell you, man. I haven’t seen her this happy in a really long time.”

So I was embellishing a little. I hadn’t been nervous at all, but I wanted to gauge his reaction. Which was a huge smile—and it told me all I needed to know.

“It’s nice to hear you say that. She seems like she’s been happy, and that’s all I want for her.”

He returned his gaze to the pool, and I knew that that was all he was going to give me. So I switched tactics.

“Good. Now, Sierra told me you haven’t hit it yet. What gives?”

He choked on the water he’d just downed. “Seriously, Banks? That’s your sister-in-law.”

“Come on, man. She was married for seven years. I know she’s no virginal flower. Speaking of…” I couldn’t help myself. I gave him a bro-tap on the shoulder. “You freaking dog. We had no idea you took her virginity until the beginning of this trip. That. Is. Awesome.”

Jace’s mouth dropped open, so I quickly continued.

“I mean, everyone knew you two had a thing for each other. We had bets on how long it was going to be until you guys started making out at the lunch table. I didn’t think you’d make it past junior year with the way you followed her around like a lost puppy.”

He protested even though it fell on deaf ears. “We were best friends who hung out all the time. That’s natural.”

I laughed and slapped him on the back. “Whatever you say. All I know is that I’m glad you’ve reconnected. She needs a good man in her life again, and I know Ty would approve.”

I wasn’t lying. No man wants to think about his woman moving on after he’s gone, but I had known Ty. Lexi’s happiness had been everything to him, and he’d be thrilled if she found it again. Then I cursed under my breath. Had I spoken out of turn?

“Has she talked to you about that at all?” I asked hesitantly.

“Yeah, we’d actually just finished talking about it when you two came back last night,” he said.

The night before Jace and Lexi had spent the night in our condo, watching Ava while Sierra and I were at the bar. When we got back, I’d found them out on the balcony and it’d looked like they were in a pretty serious discussion. Apparently, that’d been about Ty.
