“You trying to get rid of me?”
The ridiculousness of the question made her frown. “No. Of course not. I need to make sure you’re doing this for the right reasons.”
“Which are? Cock’s still not happy, by the way.” He nudged her belly with his displeased appendage. “It may need a big kiss.”
She ignored his affection-seeking penis. At the moment she had bigger fish to fry. Okay, not bigger. More pressing. “Don’t walk away for me. I’ll be here. Whatever happens, I’ll be with you even if we’re apart. There are months you’re not playing and I have time off and—”
“You’d never ask me to walk away and that’s part of why I can. You love me with or without baseball.” He averted his gaze. Almost as quickly he returned it to her. “To you, I’m more than that. And you know what? I am to me now too. I’m always going to be a recovering alcoholic, but I am recovering. I go to meetings. I’m figuring out how to run a business that has nothing to do with the game. Hell, Jax even signed me up for some frigging martial arts classes after the tour. We’re doing good work and we’ll do better.”
“Yes, you are. Very good. And Jax seems to be enjoying himself. He’s a natural at the whole security thing. Even Cass said she thought so and she won’t compliment Jax about anything.” Summer pursed her lips. “You think there’s something there? With Jax and Cass? Every time I see them they act more uncomfortable around each other.”
“I’m uncomfortable right now. Hello?” When she only giggled, he drew her closer and pressed his lips to her forehead. “I wasn’t finished.”
“Sorry. Go ahead.”
“I have you. I don’t need anything else. In fact, I’d dare say I’ve hit the lotto on all fronts. So don’t ask me if I’m sure. I’m so sure I didn’t even have to think twice when my manager called. I told him I wasn’t interested any longer.” He grinned. “That felt fucking awesome.”
Since that was the most he’d said since—well, ever, she swallowed hard and nodded, not trusting herself to speak.
“Besides, I’m in love with an almost-famous singer. I’m content to be her boy toy.” With a smile, he b
ucked his pelvis in obvious insistence. “Now that that’s out of the way…”
“I’m so proud of you,” she whispered, throwing her arms around him and rocking up and down until he groaned. “I love you so much.”
“Summer, baby. Duly noted and appreciated, but for God’s sake, please.”
She laughed and eased back. Only one more question loomed in her mind. “You did not ask your doctor if you could give me oral upside down.” When he only arched a brow, she added, “Did you?”
He flipped her onto her back on the loveseat and parted her slick thighs. Maybe his doctor hadn’t given his approval, but her body sure had. He flashed her that utterly wicked bad boy grin she adored most. “What do you think?”
“I think I won’t ever question if you decide to go down on me that way again. Or is that going up?” He tickled her side and she twisted away, laughing. “Now about that whole ‘owning me’ thing…”
“On it.” He thrust deep and caught her moan with his mouth. Instead of immediately launching into a brutal pace, he swiveled his hips and sent her a lazy smile. “But this is just an appetizer before your show. Afterward, I’m going to spend my night loving you nice and slow.”
“As long as I’m not late for church tomorrow,” she gasped with the last bit of sanity she had left.
“I wouldn’t dream of it.” He nuzzled her collarbone, tilting his head to show her he’d caught her gold cross necklace between his sinful lips. “Especially since I intend to give you plenty to confess.”
