Page 22 of Another Shot At Forever
I became lost in the sensation building, knowing I was only one flick, lick,or blowaway from falling apart.
When I arched into him, Reed licked and sucked hard on my clit, my body riding out the orgasm until I was spent.
Inching back up to my face, Reed caressed my lips with his, soft and tender, like a raindrop on a flower. “You’re beautiful, sexy, worthy, and all mine if you’ll let me love you again.”

I awoke the following day to the sound of my phone vibrating.
When I reached for it on the bedside table, I found a note beside it.
Gigi,
It’s been a while since I’ve written you a love note.
This one is short and sweet.
Last night was amazing, and I’m looking forward to more of the same tonight.
I’m picking us up coffee and pastries.
Don’t shower without me.
Reed
I couldn’t help the giddy-schoolgirl smile that blossomed on my face.
Back in college, Reed wrote me little love notes every single day.
I missed them, and waking up to one was a welcome surprise.
When my phone buzzed again, messages from Stacy flashed across my screen.
Stacy: Hi! How’d the rehearsal dinner go? Wait. It was yesterday, right?? This goddamn London time difference sucks.
Stacy: I hope you got the chance to slap a bitch.
Stacy: Did Lava-Hot Cortez make it there?
Stacy: And if he did, please tell me you abandoned your silly inhibitions and fucked him dry. ??
I lay in bed reading her messages, tears falling from laughing so hard.
Me: Hi! The dinner went okay. No, I didn’t slap a bitch, but I sure wanted to. Lava-Hot Cortez made it here. I may or may not have fucked him dry. The stupid wedding starts in two hours.
Before I had a chance to set my phone back on the bedside table, my phone vibrated again.
Stacy: I hope Sofie and Chad get stuck on an elevator and miss their own wedding.
Me: That would be freaking hilarious.
Stacy: Gotta run. Send me pics of you and that guy you may or may not have fucked dry. Love you to the moon…
Me: And back.

“You’re glowing.” Noni sat beside me on a bench at the outdoor wedding reception as Reed slipped away to grab us glasses of wine.
