“I thought so. Unless you want to go back to sleep.”
“I think I’ve slept enough.
He slid down her shorts and panties and before she had time to grasp what was happening, his tongue was on her clit, swirling, sucking, and nipping. The sensation was glorious, and her instinct was to wiggle away, the pleasure too much, but he held her hips firmly in place as his tongue invaded her. He shifted a little and suddenly two fingers were inside her, then three as his tongue worked its magic.
She cried out as her climax gripped her. Pleased with himself, he kissed her, and she could taste herself. Something she’d never experienced before. And a man going down on her at all was something else she’d never experienced. Mark had been too much of a prude, and Jordy thought it was disgusting.
“I’ve been wanting to taste you for a long time,” he whispered into her ear. “Now I need to fuck you.”
In one swift motion, he was buried inside her to the hilt. He slammed into her relentlessly, and she pushed back against him, wanting more.
“I need you deeper,” she said.
He pulled back and slipped out of her, then he flipped her onto her knees. He was inside her again, deeper than she’d ever felt, and she groaned into the pillow as he plowed into her. She could feel her second orgasm rising, and when he reached around to massage her clit, she was seeing stars. Another primal scream erupted from her as she clenched on to his cock. Unable to hold back any longer, he came inside her, collapsing next to her, his chest heaving.
“Reese, you’re going to ruin me,” he said, trying to catch his breath. “Every other woman will be compared to you.”
She thought about that statement as he led her to the shower. It lingered in the air as he gently washed her and thumbed her nipples. Every woman would be compared to her. It repeated itself, and each time it did, a little hole widened in her heart. This wasn’t forever. He knew it just as much as she did. She had to keep telling herself this was all fun and sex, and then it would be over. Just like all her other failed relationships, real, or otherwise.
ChapterTwenty-Eight
“I’m so excited to meet you. Preston has been bragging about working out with you, and now I finally get to meet you. I’m Marie, by the way. I can’t believe I haven’t properly introduced myself. I’m too busy fangirling. Please don’t hold it against me.”
Reese and Grady had arrived at the small party minutes before. Reese had been a little nervous meeting everyone, but she hadn’t expected Grady to be nervous too. But then he’d explained it to her. He was going to meet many of his teammates for the first time, and he wanted to make the best impression. But Reese wondered if her presence and all her baggage added to his anxiety. He didn’t say and she knew he wouldn’t.
“I would never do that,” Reese said. “And I want to say that Preston is a great guy and an even better workout partner.”
Marie smiled. “He’s a good man. And so is Grady. Dylan too. That’s why I’m glad they’re friends. I call them ‘the three amigos.’ Look, I don’t want to start gossiping and scare you away, but some of these guys…it’s about partying and women. The three amigos aren’t like that.”
“Good to know.”
Marie grasped Reese’s hand. “Let me introduce you to some of the other wives and girlfriends.”
For the next hour, Marie made the introductions and Reese put on her game face. She knew how to make people feel special and that they were interesting, but Reese’s problem was keeping them reeled in as future friends. She had no idea where she made her mistakes. She suspected it was her lack of follow-through. Her main concern had always been that she’d come off too needy and high maintenance, when she was really the opposite. Did people then think she was aloof? Uninterested?
“I’m sorry about all this crap you’re going through,” Hilary Partridge said. She was the wife of Gavin Partridge, the team captain. She’d steered Reese to a quiet corner where they were enjoying glasses of wine on her spacious deck. The party was going on around them, but for the most part, it was eating and drinking and nothing rowdy. “I think we’ve all had to deal with a Jennifer in our lives. Unfortunately, your Jennifer has made it very public and personal.”
“She definitely has.”
“Dylan and Preston have filled us in. We know you’re cool, so don’t worry about anything going on here. We all support you. We’re like family around here, so that makes you family, too.”
Reese’s face flushed. She couldn’t let herself cry.Family?“Thank you. That means a lot to me.”
“The Renegades look out for each other. We’ve all faced tough times, whatever those times may have been. So if you need us, we’re here.”
Reese blinked back a few tears. “I haven’t had a lot of support recently, so I appreciate this.”
“Grady hasn’t said much, and if I’m honest, we’re still getting to know him, but he’s a good guy, and while we don’t know you yet, I’m pretty sure you’re awesome. And if I can let you in on a little secret…a ton of the ladies around here are so excited to have you in the fold. You’re a legend, Reese. If they get a little awestruck, don’t hold it against them.”
“I never would.”
Hilary then took the time to introduce Reese to everyone individually. The guys seemed to like her, while the women easily embraced her. They asked about Cam, if she’d ever dated him, about Jennifer and the scandal. Several offered to help in any way they could, and Reese offered them the same, although she was pretty sure no one was interested in her help just yet. Not until she could rid herself of the Jennifer stench.
“We get together every few weeks for a girls’ night. You’re invited,” Hilary said. “If you’d like to come, give me your number, and I’ll add you to the group chat.”
“That sounds like fun,” Reese said, beaming. She’d never been a part of a big group of friends before. This was all so new.
“Now, I don’t want to sound pushy, but we all follow each other on social media. It’s part of our solidarity. And the way it’s looking for you right now, you could use all the support you can get. I can send you a list of all our handles for you to follow, and you and I’ll do the same.”
