Hunter looked up. A smile broke through the emotion. “The way you run, they’d be more likely to think I’m breaking up with you.”
“You can kiss my ass.” His phone chimed, and Gabriel didn’t even want to look at it. Probably Michael, whining about some job.

He smiled.

His phone chimed again.

your math homework.
He scowled. The words were full of highs and lows. His house!
She wanted to come back to his house! But . . . math. Math.
Another chime.

Well, that set his heart pounding. He typed fast.

This time, her response was lightning quick.

“Come on,” he said to Hunter. “Let’s go set things on fire.”
“Got a date?”
