Chapter 27

Maggie woke first the next morning and just lay in his arms, listening to the waves and the seagulls calling as they flew around.

Liam stirred next to her and kissed her neck as he snuggled into her. She smiled as she felt his lips on her skin. Before she could say anything, Liam pushed his growing erection against her leg.

“Is there something I can help you with, sir?” she asked coyly.

“Indeed there is!” he said as he snuck his hand under her shirt and found her breast, drawing circles around her hardening nipples.

Maggie took a breath in as he worked his magic, and before she knew it, she was riding him at a furious pace, finishing her second orgasm as he gripped her hips and filled her up with his load.

She fell on his chest, listening to his heart race after their morning escapade.

“I love waking up next to you!” Liam said as he dragged his fingers up and down her back.

“I agree, babe. Now you need to feed me!”

Liam laughed and climbed out of bed. They went down and had some bacon, eggs, toast, and fruit, laughing and talking as they cooked and ate together.

It was after ten o’clock in the morning when they went back up and got dressed. Liam had finally got Maggie to agree to help him wash his cars. She met him outside, where four high-end vehicles were lined up.

“Can you help me?” Maggie asked as she handed him an elastic band for her hair.

Liam looked a little nervous but succeeded in pulling her hair back into a makeshift ponytail.

They had just filled the buckets when Liam’s phone rang. He groaned as he pulled it out but smiled as he saw it was his dad. He asked Maggie to hold on a minute as he walked into the house to talk.

“Hey, Dad! How are you?”

“Not as good as you, Liam. Congratulations on the case!”

“Thank you, I couldn’t be happier!”

They talked shop for a few more minutes before Liam told his dad he had to go.

“Why are you so anxious to go? Could it be the lovely redhead that Joanie sent pictures of?”

“Yes, it is! We are going to wash the cars and have a lovely afternoon at the county fair with Brett and her other best friend.”

“And of course, you will be a complete gentleman and keep your hands to yourself!”

“Dad, when you see her in person, you will understand that is not possible! She has got me in knots and I’m not ashamed to admit it!”

Charles laughed and could hear the change of tone in his voice when he talked about this young woman. He was so happy for his son.

It had him worried when Liam went from female to female, trying to rid his mind and heart of that slag Tessa.

“Okay, I will let you go. I look forward to your summary next week and I’ll talk with you again soon.”

“Thanks, Dad. Give Mom my love!”

“Win the girl a stuffy at the fair, that’s a way to a girl’s heart! And tell Brett to behave himself, as hard as that will be for him.”

Liam laughed and promised he would. He set his phone on the table by the front door, and the minute he stepped outside, he was hit by a spray of water.

Maggie laughed hysterically, hose in hand. He casually walked over and threw one of the sponges right into her stomach, splashing bubbles and water everywhere.

At that point, a full-on water fight broke out. Joan and Niall watched from their patio.

Joan took a video of them laughing, playing, and kissing through their fight and sent it to Beth.

“Haven’t seen him enjoying himself like that in a long time,” Niall said.

Joan sniffed. “I know! I am just so happy for him!”

Niall squeezed her hand and kissed it as they watched them fall in love.

Maggie called a truce as she was dripping wet. Liam promised he would be good, and they finally got all four vehicles washed and dried.

Still totally wet, Liam put Maggie over his shoulder and carried her up to his bathroom, when they stripped each other and got in the shower, kissing as they went.

After an intense round of shower sex, they took a nap on the couch.

Maggie woke first and saw they were going to be late to meet Brett, Makayla, and Mike. She woke Liam, kissing his lips softly, and then quickly got dressed.

He put on jeans, a polo shirt, and a pair of vans. Maggie swore that the pants and shirt were perfectly made for him. She didn’t know how he could look so good wearing the simplest things!

She put on a long flowery skirt and a layered tank top with a denim jacket over it, completing the look with her cowboy boots. Brett hated them and would definitely make some comments.

Liam raised an eyebrow but didn’t say anything.

They ran down to the BMW and drove to the fair. They were only five minutes late and could blame it on traffic and not their crazy afternoon of water fun.

All the friends hugged, paid admission, and went in.

“Mags, why the hell are you wearing those damn things? We don’t live in Texas, and there are no cows around!” Brett exclaimed.

“Well, I don’t remember asking for your opinion, so keep it to yourself!”

Makayla snickered, and Liam smirked as she told off their best friend. He thought he would add more fuel to the fire.

“I find them quite sexy and can’t wait to see them on her later!”

Brett groaned and got in line for the Ferris wheel. Makayla got on with Maggie as Mike stayed below, afraid of heights. Brett and Liam got in the car behind them and sat talking.

“Brett, I know that you are very close to Maggie and think of her as a sister—”

“I do, Liam and you are my best friend, but I have to tell you that if you hurt her, I will beat the shit out of you! This is just your fair warning!”

“No, listen, mate, I wanted to tell you that I love her and I want everything with Maggie. Everything! I will wait as long as it takes, but I am going to spend the rest of my life with her.”

Brett sat there for a minute and looked at his best friend. He saw the sincerity and truth in his face and knew he was being honest with his feelings.

After the ride, they set off down the midway and ran into Nick.

“Liam! I never expected to see you here!” Nick said, shaking his hand and eyeing Maggie.

“Hi, Nick! And Hannah, good to see you too! Still as beautiful as ever!” Liam said as he hugged her.

“Maggie, this is Nick, my tech wiz, and his wife Hannah. This is my girlfriend Maggie, her best friend Makayla, Mike, and you already know Brett.”

At the word ‘girlfriend,’ Brett, Nick, and Hannah’s eyebrows shot up their faces and straight into their hairlines. Nick recovered and shook her hand.

“Where is Lucy? Leave her with a sitter?” Liam asked.

“Yes, we needed a date night, and I can’t imagine bringing a nine-month-old out here with a stroller!” Hannah explained.

Brett invited them to walk with them, and the group took off down the midway. They played some games and won some stuffed animals.

The girls were carrying a teddy bear, unicorn, and elephant, each at least two feet high. They went on a few more rides and then headed to the food stalls.

They had an assortment of fried foods laid out on a big table, having a great time as they munched and laughed.
