I keep moving, riding him faster now. Each pulse of pleasure wrings a cry from me. All the while, Linc keeps swirling his thumb over my clit, pushing me higher and higher. His hips surge upward, thrusting into me from below, intensifying my movements. In seconds, he lets out a guttural groan and I can feel him pulsing inside me with his own release.
“Fuck,” he pants, kissing my neck.
His hands are resting on my splayed thighs. I’m still straddling him and his half-hard cock is still inside me. I’m too exhausted to move just yet, so I hope he doesn’t plan on making me. I lean forward, resting my head on his chest.
“I don’t think my legs are going to work after this.”
He huffs out a laugh and his hands begin to knead my thighs. “Maybe after a nice massage, I can coax them into working properly.”
“Mmm,” I say, leaning in to kiss him again. “That sounds nice.”
When I lean back, Linc is looking at me intently, his gaze serious.
“What?” I ask, a stab of worry hitting me.
He shakes his head. “I can’t believe how stupid I’ve been all these years. We could have been doing this for the last 10 years.”
I smile at him, simultaneously touched and saddened by his words. “Maybe this is the way it was supposed to be, Linc. Besides, we might not be the people we are today if we'd been together all this time.”
He nods. "Maybe you're right." Then he grins. "I guess we’ll just have to make up for lost time then.”
Chapter 26
Linc
“Thank you guys for coming with me today,” Luke says. “It really means a lot.”
“Of course, man,” I say. “That’s what the best man is for, right? You know I’m here for you, no matter what.”
“Hey!” Cole says. “The head groomsman is important too.”
Luke and I laugh.
“I told you,” Luke says. “You’re first alternate. If something terrible befalls your brother, you get to step into the role of best man.”
Cole narrows his eyes at me. “So, if he were to—I don’t know—die in his sleep, between now and the wedding, the job is mine?”
“No, dumbass,” I say. “You’d be in prison because you suck at deception. There’s no way you’d get away with something like that.”
Cole makes a face at me, but then shrugs. He knows I’m right. He’s never been able to lie or keep a secret. Besides, I know he’s not actually envious of my best man status. If Luke could have 2 best men, I know he would. But he and Piper are planning on a simple affair with a small wedding party. Only 2 attendants for each of them. Today Cole and I went with Luke to try on tuxedos. The big day isn’t for a few more months, but the preparations are already well underway.
“Regardless,” Luke says. “I still appreciate it. I know you’ve been busy lately.”
Cole points at me. “He’s certainly been busy these days. With a girl.”
He says the last part in a sing-song voice that makes me wish I could punch him in public without causing a scene. But since we’re seated at the bar in Peach Fuzz, surrounded by a bunch of employees who are loyal to him, I decide against it. I settle on glaring at him. He really is terrible at keeping secrets. Not that Harlow and I are a secret. It’s still new, is all. It’s only been a few days since our first date.
Remembering the way that date ended brings a smile to my face. Since that night, I’ve worked at her salon every evening. It’s been hell trying to keep my hands off her and focus on finishing the job. Not that either of us are complaining. We’re too busy enjoying ourselves. Just yesterday, I bent her over the counter in the back and fucked her until she screamed. Needless to say, the second faucet didn't get installed yesterday. I guess that means I'll need to come back another day and finish the job.
“Oh, yeah,” Luke says. “How was the date?”
My gaze shoots to his and I almost worry he can see my dirty thoughts on my face. “How do you know about that?”
He rolls his eyes. “First thing you need to learn about being part of a couple is that there are no secrets. If Harlow tells Piper, chances are good that Piper is going to tell me. Apparently, there’s a group text with them and Layna. I caught Piper laughing and squealing at her phone the other morning. When I asked to see the funny video I assumed she was watching she told me what happened.”
I narrow my eyes at my best friend. “Just how much did she tell you?”
Luke laughs. “Just that you stayed the night and that you were taking Harlow on a date. No dirty details. Thankfully.”
