“Oh, that’s a relief.”
“So you’ll come with me?”
“I don’t know. Celeste….”
Jace strokes my arm. “Best way to put any rumors to bed is for you to be seen with me. I’d hardly take you on a date if you’d got me expelled from university.”
That’s true. It would shut people up. “But I don’t know anything about soccer.”
“And I know nothing about Walt Whitman. Perhaps we can teach each other something.”
Smiling, I settle back down into the crook of his arm. “Okay, well, I’ll have to check I’m free.”
“Oh, you’re never going to be free again, sweetheart. From now on, you’re mine.”
I snuggle a little closer. His? I like the sound of that. It’s early days, of course, but I want to see where this goes. As Jace continues to caress me, I close my eyes and sigh. In his arms, I feel a deep contentment. It’s like I belong here and there’s no place I’d rather be.
