I hand my phone to Darin so he can read the message. As soon as he does, his face lights up. “How soon can I meet her?”
“I need to talk to Vanessa, but I’ll let you know, Darin. I promise.” I can’t help being amused as I see the disappointment on his face. So far, I’ve gotten nothing but good vibes from him.
As Darin walks away, Max grabs my hand, pulling me over to the motorcycle he’s been working on. He grabs a stool that I can sit on and once I’m settled, he returns to working on the motorcycle.
As I watch him work, a coy smile is on my lips. “I was thinking about our bet. How about we run on Friday? That way, I’ll finally learn your middle name.”
A smirk is on his lips as he regards me. “That confident you can outrun me, huh?”
“I am.” There is a determined glint in my eye as I wiggle my brows at him.
He laughs, shaking his head. “I hate to burst your bubble, beautiful, but you did lose the first bet. What makes you think you can win this one?”
“Easy. I love to run. I’m good at it, and I really want to know your middle name.” I slide off the stool, sauntering toward him, an extra wiggle in my step.
His eyes heat as he watches me, his eyes sliding over my body. “Trying to distract me, huh?”
My smile widens. “Do I have to try?”
He stands, his hands slipping into the back pockets of my jeans, squeezing my ass, and pressing me tighter against him. “Nope. Just existing is enough of a distraction for me.” His eyes soften, sincerity in his gaze. “Since the moment I laid eyes on you, you’re all I’ve seen, Irelynn.”
My heart squeezes in my chest. “Ditto, handsome. Ditto.”
Chapter thirty-two
Max
August31,2018,9:00a.m.
Letting out a long whistle as Irelynn walks out from her bedroom, my eyes slowly peruse her curves in her black running tights and sports bra. She twirls around slowly, and I drink her in, my breath catching in my chest. Irelynn is capable of making me forget anyone other than her even exists.
Her chocolate eyes sparkle mischievously as her gaze slides down my body, lingering on my hard dick that is painfully obvious in my sweatpants. A seductive smile is on her lips as she comes closer, running her fingertips lightly up my abs to the center of my chest.
Pressing my hand over hers to stop her upward motion, I cock an eyebrow at her. “Is this how you plan to win? By seducing me until I’m a pile of mush at your feet?”
Her throaty laugh floats through her living room, coursing through my body and straight down to my cock. She hitches one eyebrow up in a challenge. “Whatever works.”
Before she can react, I reach under her legs, lifting her against me, the center of her body pressed against my erection, and spin around, pushing her against the door as my lips devour her mouth. Her arms wind around my neck as I grind against her center, swallowing the loud moan that comes from her lips. My hands squeeze her ass as she grinds just as hard against me.
Pulling back, I lower her to her feet and step back. She stands there, slack-jawed and wide-eyed, her chest heaving. “Two can play that game, sweetheart.”
She puts her hands on her hips, staring at me, fire in her gaze.
Oh, I’m going to pay for this. And I’m going to love every fucking second of it.
Acting as though I’m completely unaffected by her, I bend down and tie my running shoes. Looking up at her, I give her a polite smile, then stand. “Are you ready to go?” Turning away from her, I grab my water bottle, taking a huge sip.
Her blonde ponytail whips back and forth as she shakes her head. Huffing out a breath, she crosses her arms. “I’m ready. Bring it.” She turns around, angrily grabbing the doorknob.
But my hand reaches up, stopping her, my body pressing into the back of hers. “Baby, don’t be angry.” My lips go to the side of her neck, kissing gently. Her pulse thrums against my mouth as I nip, then lick the spot on her neck that makes her come undone. She sucks in a breath as my arms move to her stomach. Her body relaxes against me, and I know she’s no longer mad, but turned on.
“That was unfair. I’m going to make you pay for that.” She pushes against me, and I loosen my grip so she can turn to face me.
I can’t help the smirk that’s on my lips. “Are you threatening me with a good time?”
A smile tugs at the corners of her lips, but she suppresses it. She looks away, then glares at me. “No. Just for that, I may just have to hold out on you.” She spins around, tugging on the door and opening it.
Shaking my head, I step through the door, locking it behind me with her key. I hook an arm around her waist, pulling her to me. “Beautiful, look at me.” I patiently wait until she raises her eyes to mine. I lightly rub my nose against hers. “I was just teasing inside. Trying to distract you, like you do to me. I didn’t mean to piss you off.”
