I know for a fact that Serena’s son Joey is at a sleepover—no kids at this event—so I’m not worried about doing anything inappropriate in front of him. If anyone else happens upon us, well, they’re adults. It wouldn’t be the first time something X-rated happened at a team party.

My only concern is Maya’s comfort and safety.

I’m not worried about West and Serena or even Coach and Viggo.

What I don’t know is whether or not Reid is still here. Even if he knows his sister is having sex, it’s not the same as seeing it happen.

“Has Reid left?” I ask her as she slips off her shoes.

She nods. “A long time ago—you didn’t notice him tap you on the shoulder and say good night?”

I shrug. “I don’t notice anyone else when I’m with you.”

“You’re sweet but that might be a bit of a lie.”

“I don’t notice much of anything else when I’m dancing with you?”

“Better.” She slides off the mountain of fake gold bangles running up her arm and disposes of the gold chain belt around her middle.

She obviously has no reservations about what we’re about to do. Then she pauses and cocks her head. “Wait—am I the only one getting naked?”

I chuckle. “No. I’m just enjoying the view so much I’m almost starstruck.”

She winks and tugs her dress over her head.

Now she’s standing in front of me in nothing but a very sexy thong, the nipples of her perfect tits standing at attention for me.

“Damn, you’re gorgeous,” I hiss, tugging at the tunic I’m wearing.

“Then hurry. Up.” She enunciates slowly and takes the first two steps into the hot tub, looking back at me over her shoulder, her gaze steady. Inviting. Seductive as hell.

“Fuck.” I have to squat down to get these crazy gladiator-style sandals off but then I’m down to my boxers and I splash into the water behind her. I grab for her but she wiggles away, chuckling.

“Catch me if you can…” she whispers playfully.

I take two long steps, catch up with her, and yank her back against me.

“You shy?” I ask quietly as I nibble her neck.

“Not particularly. If you mean, in front of Jamie and Viggo…I don’t know. I’ve never had sex in front of people before.”

“We don’t have to.” I want to be sure to reiterate that, given how much we’ve had to drink. “We’ve been drinking all night and⁠—”

“Shh.” She turns, pressing those perfect breasts into my chest and putting a finger on my lips. “I’m buzzed but perfectly capable of saying no. And I’m not going to. The only reason we would stop now is because someone asks us to.” She looks around but Coach and Viggo seem completely immersed in themselves, Felix is still fast asleep, and the last of the partiers are inside.

“So…yes?”

“Fuck yes.”

Chapter Twenty-Eight

Maya

He pulls me back toward the steps and he holds me with my back against his front as he trails kisses along my neck and shoulder.

“The physics change a little in the water,” he murmurs.

“Mmkay.” I know what I’m doing—what we’re about to do—but I’m definitely buzzed and relaxed. And horny. And excited about doing this with him.
