“Alex.” I step closer and smooth my hand against his chest. “I’d rather keep it to ourselves for a while. There’s a lot going on with the team right now. I don’t want anything with the team to affect us.”
He tilts my chin up. “I want to shelter you, Molls. My reputation with women leaves something to be desired. When the press finds out about you, they’ll probably go nuts. Especially since you are a national figure skating champion, you work for the team, you’re almost a decade younger than I am…”
“And I’m Beck’s little sister,” I finish.
He nods. “There are a lot of reasons why we shouldn’t be together, Mollie. You should probably listen to reason. But I selfishly hope you don’t.”
Then he kisses me, slow and deep and tender, so good it makes my toes curl and leaves me breathless.
“Hey, Alex,” I say against his lips.
“Mm?”
“Does this mean we can finally fuck?”
“Jesus, Freckles.” His eyebrows shoot up. “Eventually, yes. I’m enjoying taking my time with you, getting to know each other, finding out each and every thing that makes you moan. Is that okay with you?”
I huff and grumble, “Yes.”
He brushes my lip with his thumb. “It’ll be worth it. I promise.”
“I know.” I kiss him again, because he’s delicious, and right now, he’s all mine.
Myboyfriend.
We head back to his car. Alex drives with one hand on the wheel and the other holding mine. I text Indie with my free hand, which is harder than it sounds.
