okay if it did,” Kira said. “That’s natural and -”
“It didn’t upset me. I’m really happy for both of them,” Addison said. “I swear, Kira.”
“Okay.” Kira hugged her again and picked up the pitcher of lemonade. “C’mon, let’s get back out there.”
“You go ahead. I’m going to use the washroom first.”
“All right.”
She waited until Kira left the kitchen before walking toward the guest bathroom. She wasn’t upset about Grace’s engagement - she really was thrilled for her. It was being around Preacher that had her all tied up in knots. He’d basically ignored her for the entire barbeque, which wasn’t unusual. They rarely talked at the social gatherings. Why would they? They had nothing in common.
But that was before she knew what it was like to have him inside of her and now that she had, his ability to pretend that there was nothing different between them was… well, it was kind of hurtful.
Stop it, Addie. See, this is why a casual thing isn’t good for you. You’re not in a relationship with Preacher. Hell, he’s not even going to continue lessons with you, so stop acting like such a baby. You got to have sex with him a couple of times, enjoy it for what it was and move on.
She stopped in front of the bathroom door, worrying at her bottom lip with her teeth. Inner Addie was right. The weird little interaction with Lucas aside, Preacher was clearly sending her a message and that message was –
“Hello, Sunshine.”
Preacher’s low voice brought immediate lust to her belly in a slow wave. She froze with her hand on the handle of the bathroom door as his hand smoothed around her hip and rested against her lower abdomen. He brushed her hair away from her throat and pressed a kiss against her skin.
“You smell good,” he said.
“Th-thank you,” she said. “Are you enjoying the barbeque?”
“Hmm,” he said as he traced her throat with the tip of his tongue. “What are you doing in here all by yourself?”
“Just going to wash my hands,” she said.
“I’ll come with you,” he said.
“What? No, that’s not a good idea,” she said.
He opened the bathroom door and pushed her inside before following her and closing the door behind them. He crowded her up against the wall and she moaned softly when he pressed his erection against her stomach.
“Everyone is just outside,” she murmured, glancing at the open window. It didn’t face directly into the back yard, but they could hear the voices of the others perfectly clear. “Gideon and Grace and – and my brother.”
“I know,” he said. “It’s the perfect time for lesson two.”
“Lesson two?” She stared at him in shock. “I – we just had lesson one yesterday.”
“I remember, I was the guy whose face you were sitting on,” he said.
She flushed bright red as he grinned wickedly at her. “Seems like you remember too.”
“I didn’t think you wanted…”
“Wanted what?”
“To keep going with the lessons.”
He tugged on the pearls around her neck before rubbing his thumb along her collarbone and just like that, she was soaking wet.
“That’s odd,” he said. “Why would you think that?”
“Well, because…” laughter drifted through the open window of the bathroom and she tensed against him. “Everyone is just out there,” she whispered.
“Like I said, perfect time for lesson two.”
“Wh-what’s lesson two?”
“How to have public sex without getting caught,” he said.
“Not a chance!” She pushed at his chest. “We’ll be caught and -”
He kissed her softly on the mouth, licking at the seam of her lips until she moaned and parted them.
“Good girl,” he whispered before kissing her again.
She kissed him feverishly and didn’t object when he reached under her dress and stroked her panties.
“Are you wet for me, Sunshine?”
“Yes.”
“Good. Let’s get these off.”
He tugged on her panties and she let him pull them down her legs. She stepped out of them and glanced at the window when more laughter drifted in.
“I want to take you bare,” he said in a low voice.
“I – you don’t have a condom?”
“I do,” he said, “but I want you bare. I get tested regularly. I can show you my results later. Are you on the pill?”
She nodded. “Yes. I, um, I was tested too… after I found out Harrison was cheating on me. I didn’t, uh, get anything from him.”
“You good with not using a condom?”
She hesitated and he pressed a kiss against her neck. “It’s fine if you’re not. I’ll use a condom, Addison.”
