George looked to me quickly then answered, “Just a bit.”
“Good, good.” She nodded. “Get some cracks in for me.”
The look of yearning on Jace’s face chopped me in the throat. I threw my arm around him. “You’ll stick up for me, won’t you agori mou?”
He smiled quickly and nodded.
I released him and he opened the bag to show George what they chose for Alex. Ruby and I walked on ahead.
I slung my arm across her shoulders, and she leaned into me.
“You’re going to suffer for the next two nights,” she snickered.
“I am?” I asked, surprised. “Why?”
She gave me a funny look. “The boys are right down the hall.”
“So?”
“We can’t let them hear us,” she hissed.
I laughed. “Remember last night? Consider that to be practice for this weekend.”
“Hmm,” she teased. “So, I’m the only one getting any action this weekend?”
I laughed and shook my head. “Nope. I’ll be taking mine, too.”
“Are you sure?” She teased. “You didn’t have a practice session. Maybe you should just abstain and focus on me.”
I grinned at her wickedly. “Oh, I think I’ll be okay. I’m not the one moaning, and begging, and ‘oh, oh, oh’-ing.”
Her mouth fell open and she pulled away from me. “Vander!” She snapped. “I do not beg.”
I slid a sideways glance at her and took her hand. “Would you like me to put that to the test?”
She snapped her mouth shut and turned away, but not before I saw her smile.
“Is that a no? You would not like me to put that to the test?” I teased.
“Maybe I will say no.”
I pulled her closer. “You threatened me with that before. If I remember correctly,” I dipped my head down to hers, “and I do, that was the same occasion that you begged.”
She laughed and threw herself into my arms.
I grinned down at her, so petite, so fiery.
Her eyes smiled up at me. “I love you. Do you know that?”
A hint of my underlying anxiety revealed itself. “Are you doing okay with everything?”
Instead of answering, she asked, “You love me?”
I nodded seriously. This was not a joke or a game of any kind. “With my whole heart, for my whole life.”
She lifted her chin for a kiss. “Then I’ll be okay.”
