“I…” She nudged his ribs and he spluttered, “Yeah, yeah. We’ll see you later, okay?”
They hurried out of the den.
“What the hell was all that about?” Lily glanced at Ashleigh who shrugged. “You don’t think they’re… going to have sex, do you?”
Fuck, she was so adorable.
I nuzzled her neck from behind and let my lips trail up to her ear. “Does it matter if they are?”
A shiver ran down Lily’s spine as she pressed into my touch. “I guess not,” she said, a little breathless. Turning slightly, she met my heated gaze. “Hi.” The word formed on her lips.
“Hi.”
Jesus, I was so gone for this girl.
I’d transferred to Rixon High hoping to play some football and secure a ticket out of here. I hadn’t expected to fall in love. But Lily was everything I never knew I needed. And I was so fucking relieved her dad hadn’t strung me up by my balls because a) I kind of liked them attached to my body and b) they belonged one-hundred-percent to his daughter.
The entire day had been a surprise: from Coach showing up at my house, to going to Lily’s and getting on my fucking knees for her.
“What are you thinking about?” she asked me.
“You… us. The fact I get to keep you.”
“Kaiden.” Her eyelashes fluttered as she dropped her gaze. When her eyes settled on mine again, they were shining with happiness. “I was so scared about telling everyone,” she whispered. “But it feels like such a relief that I no longer have to hide how I feel about you.”
“That doesn’t mean we all need to watch you making out, Lil.” Aaron, the cocky fucker, laughed, and I reached around her to flip him off.
“You’re only jealous,” Poppy said.
“Jealous? I don’t have time for girls,” he shot back, and her expression fell.
“He’s so clueless.” I murmured against the shell of Lily’s ear.
“Yep. I hope he realizes before it’s too late.”
“We’re guys,” I said. “It usually takes us a while.”
Lily smiled, stealing a kiss, careful not to apply too much pressure. She was concerned about my injuries, despite my protests that I was fine.
When she went to pull away, I tightened my arm around her and anchored her to me. Gently parting her lips with my tongue, I curled it around hers, tasting her. Teasing her.
Someone groaned from beside us and I flipped the room off. I’d waited a long time to kiss Lily in public; no one was going to stop me now.
Well, maybe Coach Ford.
But he was my girlfriend’s dad now.
I had to make a good impression.

“Did you get his message?”Ashleigh asked me some time later.
“Yeah.”
“And?”
“I think they’re fucking ridiculous.” I snorted.
