“Touch me,” I dare him instead of telling him to stop because, apparently today, I don’t care about rules.
He slips under the fabric of my panties, and his fingers brush over me, drawing circles over my skin until the pads of them get slick. He starts to massage my clit, and I bite down hard on my lower lip to keep from making any sort of noise.
The fireworks are just loud enough, and the two of them are a good ten-plus feet away from us on the other side of the fire pit, but it still feels dangerously close.
His fingers work me over in a slow rhythm. He takes his time working me up, and his breath against my neck and his heartbeat follow the same pattern. It doesn’t take much for him to get me to the edge, the desperate way I feel for him and the proximity to my ex enough that I’m already ready for him to push me over it.
“Oh fuck. You’re so sweet like this. You getting close for me?” he asks quietly.
“Yes,” I whisper back. “Please.” It’s take everything I have not to writhe in his lap and draw more attention to us.
His fingers splay over my clit, the pads of them working the sides and then pulling in and circling to a tight heavy rhythm that has me gasping when the next firework explodes. I turn my head, burying half my face against Coop’s T-shirt as I start to come hard.
“Let him hear you. I want him to know how well you come for me.” Cooper’s voice is husky and rough.
There’s another loud boom, and I open my eyes to watch the firework explode at the same time I do. But instead of the brilliant flash of red in the sky, it’s Rob’s sharp blue eyes that are on me. My heart skips a beat and I gasp when Coop pinches my clit and gives me one last wave of pleasure in the process. I’m lost in it, too overwhelmed by how good it feels to care about the opinions of the audience.
“The sounds you make wreck me,” Coop whispers before he slips his fingers into his mouth, and I nearly burst into flames. I can feel Rob watching us, the way he’s working out what we’ve just done and the fact that Cooper knows my body well enough to get me off this easily.
“Fuck, you taste so sweet, Trix. You think you’re ready for bed yet? Or you want to make me give you another round first? Let me edge you a little this time.” Cooper’s voice is quiet but he kisses the side of my neck, and I feel the answering shiver down my spine.
“I’m ready for bed.” Hoping we can sneak away for a quick round before his family returns from town.
When I stand, Cooper jumps up, grabbing me and tossing me over his shoulder as I giggle. The noise wakes Carly up, and she stirs, opening her eyes and giving us a sleepy smile. My eyes flash to Rob again of their own volition, and he looks furious, but Cooper playfully slaps my ass and carries me away before I can have another thought about him.

Cooper
When I go out to the kitchen to get us some water, Rob’s there in the dark. The small nightlight Mom keeps plugged in under the cabinets is the only thing lighting the room. He looks up when he sees me, almost like he’s been waiting for me to show up. He downs the last of his drink and pushes it across the table.
“That was some great acting with Bea tonight.” His eyes lift, and there’s a challenge in them.
“Acting?” I want to bait him, tell him he might not be able to recognize the real thing when he sees it on account of how many times she had to fake it for him. But I hold my tongue. Trix didn’t want drama, and for her I’ll try not to cause any.
“I assume she told you I wanted to keep the past in the past.” He ignores my question.
“She mentioned it.” I’m weary of where this is headed.
“So you thought you’d what? Take advantage of that? Press your luck?”
“Is it luck or advantage, do you think?” I taunt him. I know I shouldn’t, but I can’t help myself. That he’s out here waiting to fight tonight is too much.
“I think you’d better keep your hands off her.”
“I don’t think you get to decide that.”
“I think I do. Whatever the fuck that was out there, you don’t do it again.”
“It’s a little late for that. My hands have been all over every square inch of her, reminding her of how perfect she is, even if there were people in her past too stupid to know it.”
Rob stands and kicks his chair back. It slides across the floor, almost silently, and his nostrils flare.
“Stay the fuck away from her.”
“Why? Having regrets now that you remember how much better she is than anything else you’ve ever even had a shot at having? Realizing you pissed it all away for nothing?”
“She’s mine. Always was. Always will be. Just because we’re not together anymore doesn’t mean that changes. You can’t change that no matter how hard you try, brother.”
