“Maybe we should have taken that inside.”
I gasp out a laugh and Max joins me, pulling me against him.
Hugging me against him. He kisses the side of my head and the simple gesture kicks a hole through the wall I’ve kept around my heart.
I can’t catch my breath and I can’t blame the lovemaking. Because that was fucking, that was sex, but it was also something different. So different.
And I don’t know if I’m ready for it yet.
“It stopped raining,” I say.

“Jesus Christ, man, the whole beach must have heard you out there this morning,” Nick grumbles after I finally leave Cady to find coffee.
After the balcony, I took her back to bed. And after a suitable period of rest when I may have fallen back to sleep, I took her again.
I wanted a third round, but Cady escaped to the shower.
With a pretty big smile on her face, I noticed.
Not as big as mine, though.
“No one heard us because there was no one out there,” I correct. “I don’t know how you did.”
“I had the misfortune to get up to pee at the wrong moment, and my bathroom is beside that balcony, or wherever you were having that monkey sex. You might have been hanging from the building for all I know,” Nick gripes. “By the way, those windows aren’t as thick as you’d like.”
Despite the grumbles, he gives me a slap on the ass as I pass en route to the coffeemaker.
“Don’t tell Cady,” I say. “I don’t want to embarrass her.”
“Wouldn’t dream of it. Hey, remember in second year when we met those girls at Marcus’s cottage? They were so wild—perfectly cool with us hanging a rope with towels in the room so we’d have our own space. Yours was a screamer.”
I wince at the memory. “I like girls who vocalize, but that one gave me a headache.”
“And you made sure there was no mention of it the next morning, so she wouldn’t be embarrassed. Although I don’t think she would have cared. She didn’t care about fucking you six feet away from her friend.”
“I always thought she might have been into a foursome,” I muse. “She kept saying they’re over there? They’re staying over there?”
Nick throws up his hands. “Lost opportunity, dude. That’s something we’ve never done.”
I slap his shoulder. “And never going to.”
He laughs, his face softening as he studies me. “You got it bad for her?”
“Bad enough.”
“So this isn’t just a weekend thing?”
“I told you last night, I don’t know what this is. I hope maybe, but I don’t know what she wants.”
“Well, we’ve got the wedding tonight and those things always get women weepy and in the mood for looove.” He drawls the word, before looking up with an expression of horror. “Holy shit, you’re red, dude!”
Cady walks into the kitchen, hair pulled up onto the top of her head, wearing the loosest thing in her suitcase, which is a voluminous dress that does nothing for her figure.
I’ve seen it, so I know what’s under there. The thought stirs my cock, even after two go- arounds, so that must mean something.
