“We thought we’d finish at school today, but no such luck, huh, Amy?”He frowned.
My pulse calmed down.He was a teacher at school—which would explain why he looked like that.Just a teacher, and they were just working together.
I glanced at her kitchen table.It was full of crafts.Now that I paused to think about it, the air smelled like glue.
I finally offered him a hand to shake.“Knox Sterling.”We shook hands, and Amy looked at me with confusion.“I brought you this,” I said, handing her the cup.
“Coffee?”She grabbed the cup, and the second she realized it was cold, she frowned, then took a sip.I noticed her face open up into a huge smile.“Margarita!You brought me a margarita.Are you a dream guy or what?”
Gregory’s smile faded completely.
Yeah, take that, fucker.
“I didn’t know you were busy,” I told Amy.
She smiled, lowering the cup from her mouth.“I did tell you that I was making stuff for the kids.”
“I know.I just hadn’t realized that you had company.”
Her mouth formed an O.“Oh, right.Gregory and I still have a ways to go, but if you want, we can meet later.”
I shook my head.“That’s okay.This looks like it’ll keep the two of you up for a while.”
She wasn’t sleeping with this geek.I was sure of it.Fuck, I couldn’t believe how bothered seeing her with another guy made me.But they were just working on crafts together, so I needed to calm the fuck down.
“Did you eat?”I asked her.
“Yeah.Still have some leftovers if you want.”
I shook my head.“Nah, I’m good.”
I pushed a strand of hair behind her ear, and Gregory frowned.So I wasn’t wrong—hehadbeen looking at her far too closely before.This guy had a crush on her.Well, it was time he learned that she was off-limits.
Without any further ado, I captured her mouth.I’d missed kissing her, which was crazy.I’d been here just yesterday, but I couldn’t get enough.I wanted to make Gregory Potter disappear into thin air so I could have Amy all to myself.I deepened the kiss, but she pushed me back, eyes wide.
“Knox,” she murmured, then looked at Gregory, who’d turned his back to us and headed to the crafts table.
Yeah, that’s right.Run along, Potter.
Amy blinked and then mouthed, “What was that?”
“I missed kissing you.”I shrugged, knowing damn well I was staking my claim.
Since Gregory wasn’t watching, I did it again, though a bit more gently, but she pushed me back.Amy was pissed, but I didn’t really care.Yeah, I was an asshole, but now there’d be no mistaking who Amy belonged to.
“All right, then,” I said loudly.“I’m going to leave the two of you to finish up.Enjoy your drink, Amy.Gregory, sorry, I didn’t know you were here, or I would have brought another one.”
“There’s no need.Thank you,” he said in a mousy voice.
Amy shook her head.I’d have to make amends with her later, I knew.
As she walked me out the door, she said, “I’m upset.”
“I know.You look fucking sexy when you’re annoyed.”
“This isn’t funny, Knox.”
“I disagree.”
