My head tilted. I wanted to hear her say it again so damn bad. “Have I what?”
Her face looked so adorable as she scrunched her nose. “You know!”
“No. I don’t know. You’re going to have to spell it out for me, Maebh.”
“Have you…done it on your bike?”
Jesus, why are you being so cruel.
“Done what on my bike?” I asked with the biggest shit-eating grin on my face, more turned on than I’d been when I kissed her.
She covered her face and issued a loud groan. “Have you had sex on your motorcycle before?”
“No. I’ve never fucked a girl on my bike.” But my God, if she wanted that right now, I’d part the fucking seas to make her wish come true.
Her brows pulled together before she went back to barely swinging. “How come?”
Christ Almighty. Was I having this conversation with the only woman I’d ever had reoccurring dreams about? The only woman I wanted more than air? The one woman I couldn’t allow myself to take because I wasn’t worthy of her?
“I guess I’ve never found the girl I wanted to fuck on my bike.”
“Are you always so crude when describing sex?”
“Yes. Because that’s what I do, Maebh. I fuck.”
Her mouth fell open a little before her tongue made an achingly slow swipe across her lips. My cock was painfully hard and jumped when her teeth sank into that pretty pink lip of hers.
“I’m sure your family is missing you in the house,” she finally said, breaking our intense stare.
That was my signal that she no longer wanted to talk. Maybe I’d scared her off with my blunt words. I got the feeling Maebh wasn’t the type to want a guy to whisper how much he wanted to sink his cock into her pussy. More like the type who wanted a man to whisper sweet nothings and make slow, passionate love to her.
I wish I could test my theory.
“Does it bother you when I use the word fuck?”
She shook her head, and what she did next shocked the living shit out of me.
Maebh stood in front of me. With a steady face, she replied, “Just the opposite, Cord. It turns me on.”
My pulse shot off like a rocket as I watched Maebh give me a sexy little smile then head back toward the house.
Had I heard her right? Her accent was known to throw me off. Did she just say I turned her on? My dick pressed against my jeans even harder.
Scrubbing my hands down my face, I mumbled, “Fucking hell. It’s going to be a long night.”
My phone vibrated, and I glanced down to see it was Tammy. I picked up.
“Hey, I know it’s your birthday and you’re with family, but I need you to come to the bar.”
“What’s wrong?”
“One of the draft beers is stuck.”
“Stuck?”
“Nothing is flowing out, and I’ve tried everything I could think of. It’s the Belhaven.“
“Shit,” I grumbled as I headed back to the house. That was one of our best-selling beers, and I wanted it to be fixed before tonight. “I’m on my way.”
“Sorry, Cord,” Tammy said, her voice filled with regret for having to call me in.
I made my way back into the dining room where everyone was still going on about Harley and Tripp’s good news, or asking Amelia a million questions about her book being made into a movie.
I walked up to Amelia first.
“Hey, sis. I’m so proud of you. I know I said it earlier, but I really am.”
She leaned up to kiss me on the cheek. “Thanks, Cord. It’s all still up in the air what I’m going to do, but I’ll figure it out.”
“I wish I could hang around and ask you about it, but Tammy has an emergency at the bar.”
Amelia frowned, and I pulled back. “What’s wrong?”
With a shake of her head, she smiled. “I just hope you don’t end up working on your birthday.”
I winked. “Aww, it’s not so bad. I do need to talk to you later, though.”
Her brow quirked. “Oh? Why?”
My eyes lifted, and I looked right at Maebh. “I’m a little curious about why you brought Maebh.”
Her hands went to her hips. “I brought her because she’s my friend. Not just mine, but Paxton’s, Harley’s, Corina’s, and Waylynn’s. We like her and want her to feel welcome here. Unlike you.”
I pushed my fingers through my hair. “Knock it off. That’s not true. I do want her here. I mean, I want y’all to be friends with her. I mean…shit. Listen, I can’t argue with you about this. I’ve got to run. I love you.”
Her face softened. “I love you more, Cord.”
After making the rounds and thanking everyone for coming, I glanced in the direction of Maebh and said, “See ya around, Maebh.”
She smiled and my stomach jumped.
Fuck me, was that another wink?
Leaning down to kiss my mother, I said, “Thank you so much. I’m so sorry I have to leave.”
