Maverick breaks our kiss, much to my disappointment. I try to keep him in my arms by locking my legs firmly around him, but he’s way stronger than me.

“Please, don’t stop kissing me,” I tell him.

I need more. Lots more, and I’m not just talking about kissing.

His expression is serious and focused, and I wonder what he’s thinking.

“Hold on to the edges of the tub,” he demands.

I do as he asks. When he puts his hands on my ass and pulls my hips out of the water, I let out a yelp of surprise. What the hell does he have planned?

He swings my legs over his shoulders, and I tightly grip the edges of the bathtub so I don’t sink back into the water. I probably look like a plank. One with curves, but still. Maverick doesn’t seem to mind one bit. His gaze is transfixed on my pussy.

He bends forward, and his wet lips close around my center. He sucks my lips and nub, then glides his tongue over my skin. Jesus Christ. This is… this is…

I close my eyes. I'd grab a handful of his hair if I didn’t have to hold on to the bathtub.

“You showing up here is a real gift, Little Sloane. This morning, I was doing chores, and now I get to taste you,” he rumbles.

“Hmmm,” is all I manage.

He puts his lips around my clit again and gently sucks. His tongue darts out, licking me with a passion I didn’t know existed. I’m swollen and ripe, ready to burst.

“Fuck,” I whisper, pushing my hips further against his face.

I writhe underneath him, his mouth on my clit, his hands digging into my ass. I can’t take this any longer. I need to come.

“I’m close,” I huff.

“Good. Come for me, Sloane,” he growls, lapping my pussy with a fiery urgency. “I want to see you come.”

His words make me lose my last shred of control, and my clit throbs. His tongue keeps flicking, and I scream his name as he pushes me over the precipice.

Holy smokes, thank the gods for finally making that love spell work.

I sink back into the water and take a minute to catch my breath. “That was amazing.”

Maverick leans back and grins. “You can say that again. I loved eating you out.”

I wrap my legs around him and position my pussy over his cock. He pushes against my entrance, eager to enter me.

I lead his cock inside, inch by wonderful inch. My pussy needs some time to adjust to the size of him, but I push through the tinge of pain until he’s buried to the hilt inside me.

I move my hips, and he slides in and out of me. Water splashes over the edge of the tub, but I don’t give a fuck. All that matters in this instant is being with Maverick.

He puts a hand on my back and sucks on my nipples. My walls clench around him with every thrust and flick of his tongue over my breasts.

“I want to take you too,” he says hoarsely.

He picks me up, his cock still inside me, and carries me out of the water. “Turn around.”

Fuck, I love it when he gets all bossy. I hope he never stops.

I get on all fours on the floor and push my ass in the air, giving him an unapologetic view of my pussy. He gets behind me, puts his hands on my hips, and slides back inside. His hips slam against my ass, pushing his cock deeper and deeper until my eyes roll back in my head.

“Yes, fuck me, Maverick.” I choke out the words.

I’ve never felt this primal need to be fucked, but I’m enjoying every second.

“You feel so good,” he pants.

He pulls out and flips me onto my back. His gorgeous face hangs above me, and I grab his chin to kiss him senselessly.

I let my legs fall open, and he enters me again. I put my head against his chest and bite him. He growls, increasing the speed of his thrusts.

The world falls away, and it’s just the two of us exploring each other. This is the closest we can get, but I still try to push him even deeper.

His eyes fall shut, and I can tell he’s going to come. He moans and whimpers, calling out my name as he fills me with his release.

Feeling him come undone pushes me over the edge, and a second orgasm floods me like an inescapable wave.

I moan and shudder in his arms. It takes me a full minute to get my breathing back under control. Maverick lays down beside me, pulling me into his arms.

“You’re the best thing that’s ever happened to me,” he says.

I snuggle into his arms, and we fall asleep right there on the bathroom floor.

It takes another full day for the storm to subside and the roads to clear, but I don’t want to leave Maverick. We’ve talked, laughed, and had sex for the past twenty-four hours, and it’s been nothing short of a dream.

We’re about to heat some soup when someone pounds on the door.

“Are you expecting anyone?” I ask with a frown.

Maverick grabs the soup pot from the stove and shrugs. “It’s probably the mountain road team to tell us the road blockages have been cleared.”

I set the table while he answers the door. When I hear yelling, my blood freezes in my veins. I swallow and make my way to the living room.

“Sloane!” Benson stands by the couch, looking furious. “What the hell, sis? I thought you were in a ditch somewhere.”

“What do you mean?”

“What do I mean? You never returned my truck, so I got worried. I called you, but you didn’t answer, and I couldn’t get up the mountain because of the bad weather and road conditions.”

I give him an apologetic smile. “I’m sorry, Benson. A tree fell on your truck, but Maverick saved me and took great care of me.”

More care than I dare to admit to my brother. The thought makes me chuckle.

“You think this is funny?” He bristles. “And why are you wearing Maverick’s shirt?”

I blush. “Oh, well, funny story.”

Maverick steps between my brother and me. “Please don’t get angry. We can explain.”

“What’s going on here?” my brother asks, his gaze alternating between Maverick and me.

I grab Mav’s hand in mine and hold my head high. “We’re together, and there’s nothing you can say to break us apart.”

Benson stares at us, his jaw dropped. “You? My best friend and my sister?”

“Before you get angry, you need to know that I love her, man,” Maverick says.

Now, my jaw hits the floor. “You do?”

He turns to me. “Sloane, I’m never letting you go. You’re my girl, remember? You’re funny, sweet, hot, and you know what you want. How could I not love you?”

Tears spring to my eyes, and I stand on my tiptoes to kiss him.

My brother clears his throat.

“Oops, forgot you were here,” I say with a sheepish smile. “Please don’t be mad.”

He shakes his head and laughs. “Mad? I’m fucking relieved you two finally got together.”

“What do you mean?” I ask.

“Come on, you’ve had a thing for him since you were a teenager,” he says, turning to Maverick. “And you. Deep down, I always knew you had a crush on my sister.”

“So you’re okay with this?”

“Hey, I’m the one who sent you up here to do these deliveries. Lily was sick, yes, but I could’ve found a sitter and done the work myself. I was hoping you two might hit it off. But imagine how guilty I felt knowing I was the one who sent you up the mountain right before a storm. After I saw how bad the weather had gotten and I couldn’t get hold of you, I thought I’d sent you to die.”

I smile. “Well, I’m alive and kicking.”

“And I’m glad. Anyway, I should go. One of the SAR guys gave me a ride here, and he’s waiting outside. Oh, and Maverick? If you ever hurt my sister, I’m coming after you.”

Maverick nods. “That’s understandable, but I promise I’ll never hurt her. I love her.”

Benson closes the door behind him, leaving Maverick and me to ourselves.

“What do you want to do now?” I ask him.

He gathers me in his arms. “Oh, I have a thing or two in mind,” he says and kisses me.
