“Don’t forget to pick a card every day,” he said softly.
A wicked thought struck me, and I motioned for him to bend down so I could whisper in his ear. “If I pick the hour of uninterrupted Skype time, can you make sure you’re alone? Because I might want to manage some more mischief during that time.”
He cracked a grin. “I’m sure I can come up with a way to get rid of Koz for an hour.”
“Longer wouldn’t be a bad thing.”
“Are you going to get away from Katie and Dani for that?” he asked.
“I’m sure I can arrange that. I can have time alone, even if we’re doing a girls’ weekend.”
“You have a wicked streak. Is your brother aware of that?”
“Probably. Just wait till Connor hits puberty. Cam can think of me as training, to prepare him for dealing with that boy.”
“I doubt anything could prepare someone for dealing with your nephew.”
“Probably not. Still…” I gave him another quick peck on the chin. “I’ll pick my card in the morning and text you with what I want.”
“I doubt I’ll sleep from the anticipation.”
“Maybe we can both stay up…”
“We’d have Koz for company,” he said.
I pouted. “That doesn’t sound as good.”
“Know what having to leave you now is making me realize?”
“Not a clue. But I’m desperate to know.”
His eyes roamed over every inch of my face, as if he were trying to memorize how I looked at exactly this moment. “It’s that I don’t ever want to be without you. We haven’t been together all that long, and it’s way too soon to be talking about getting married or anything. But when I’m with you, it’s easy to think about forever.”
That wasn’t even remotely what I’d been expecting. My lips formed an O, but nothing came out, and this amazingly warm sensation spread from my belly all the way out to the tips of my fingers and toes.
“I only want you to know I’m thinking about it. With you.” Then he kissed me again, a long and lingering one, before being dragged out of the owner’s box with the rest of the team.
I headed back over to see if Katie and Dani were ready to go, surprised to find Dani grinning like a loon—much the way I suspected I might be, after what Levi had just said to me.
“What?” I asked, dropping down into my seat to gather up my purse and coat.
Katie shook her head, laughing. “Dad’s going to murder you. Not to mention Harry.”
“Seriously,” I said. “What happened? You’re killing me.”
“I kissed him.” Dani beamed. “He’s a very good kisser. And his hands! Oh my God, his hands are huge. And so strong. And he understands how to use them. The thought of what he could do with those hands if we were alone… But Dad came up before I was done, and I think Katie’s probably right. It looked like he was going to murder the poor guy. And Harry looked like he wanted to murder me. I probably shouldn’t have done that with Dad around…”
“It was way worse than the way Dad ever reacted with me and Jamie. Ever. Even when I was still only seventeen.”
“Now I really want to find out what Harry did to end up in jail,” I said.
“I couldn’t care less,” Dani said. “I just want him to kiss me again. And maybe try that move you were talking about. The one on the kitchen counter? Yeah. I think if I was with Harry, I could totally manage that one. He’s more than strong enough.”
“You’re a mess!” I said.
Katie rolled her eyes. “And you’re going to get him killed before you ever get to try it.”
“Maybe not,” Dani said. “They kind of need him on D right now. I doubt Bergy’ll let Daddy kill him.”
