all laughed at their antics. It was all done in good humor, though, with a lot of ribbing, without anyone
getting upset.
Time for Charades, Max called out, which had the group of people groaning. If they d been
competitive before, it would be nothing compared to how they d be playing charades.
Girls against guys, Emily called, making the men groan.
Okay, but no cheating, Mark said as he quickly bent down and kissed his wife.
We wouldn t even think about it, Jennifer defended with a wicked smile.
Soon, the real competition was on, and Cassie found herself laughing so hard, her stomach was in
pain. The women were ahead by three points and the men were huddled together as if it were a game
of football. They broke apart and the deep concentration on their faces caused the women to go off in
another round of laughter.
Max stood at the front of the room and looked at his card. Amy started the clock. He held up his hand
with one finger.
One word, Lucas shouted, as if he d just solved a complex puzzle. Max nodded yes, then looked
around in a bit of panic. Cassie could see he was having a hard time trying to act his card out. Finally
he dropped onto his hands and knees, which caused her to start laughing again. He started moving
around the floor slowly, taking huge, exaggerated steps.
Cow, horse, rhino, Mark shouted. Max turned his head and glared at his cousin. He moved his head
back and forth, and the girls couldn t help but laugh even harder at the ridiculous picture he made on
the floor. Then, he stuck his arm in front of his face and started moving it up and down. Cassie figured
it out and quickly whispered it to her team, but had to wait for the timer to run out.
You suck, Max, Trenton called out, earning his brother a glare. The buzzer went off, and Cassie
called out.
Elephant. The girls cheered when Max glared at his partners, before nodding his head at the
women.
Great job, Cassie. We won! Jessica shouted as she jumped from the couch and did a little dance.
Alex quickly grabbed her up in his arms and gave her a long kiss, which quickly became heated.
Don t mind us, Max said with a laugh. The two of them broke apart, but it was obvious they were
done with the games and ready to be alone together.
Thanks for putting this all together, Max. I haven t had so much fun in a while, Jessica told him
before first giving him a hug, then Cassie. Everyone went around the room, saying their goodbyes and
promising to make the game night a monthly thing.
I love my kids more than anything, but having adult time is just too much fun. It makes me feel young,
again, Amy said as she and Lucas also got ready to head out.
It took about ten minutes for everyone to say goodbye, then Cassie found herself alone with Max once
again. She couldn t believe how exhausted she was, considering she d slept on and off for about
twenty-four hours. Her foot was starting to hurt, too. It looked like it was time for another pill and
then bed.
I shouldn t have kept you down here so long. The time tends to get away from me when we re all
together like that, Max apologized. He slipped his arms under her, and carried her up the stairs. She
was amazed he didn t even breathe heavily after reaching the top of the stairs. She knew she wasn t
huge, but it was a long set of stairs.
That was the most fun I ve had in a long time, thank you, she said with a bright smile. His eyes
locked on hers, and his head slowly bent forward. Her arms were wrapped around his neck and it
seemed the most natural thing in the world for him to take her lips in a soft kiss. She didn t even think
about protesting.
He started soft and sweet, then his grip tightened on her, and his mouth became more aggressive, as he
started demanding a response from her. She pulled his head even closer, and slid her tongue along his
lips, loving the taste of his slightly minty breath. She felt her body respond to his touch, and forgot all
about her foot hurting. She had nothing on her mind but Max s kiss, and his arms wrapped around her.
He pulled back, and both their breaths were labored as they looked into each other s eyes.
I think you re going to be the death of me, woman, he said with a grin. He bent down and gave her
one more chaste kiss before taking her in the bathroom and setting her on the tub. He really was
considerate of her needs.
She quickly got ready for bed, anticipating the night to come. She needed to make love to him again,
she didn t care if her heart would shatter when it was over. She refused to think about tomorrow, she
would only think about right now, and right now she needed him to relieve the ache in her body.
Max came back and she tried to show him with her expression how much she wanted him how she
wanted their wonderful night to end. By the flair of passion that ignited in his eyes, he got the
message. He picked her up and carried her to the bed, where he laid her down, before stripping his
clothes and joining her.
No words were spoken as they embraced, both of them staying up long into the night, not seeming to
ever be able to get enough of the other.
