Page 127 of Hate You Always

A blush hits my cheeks as a grin lifts my lips. “Yeah, it does.”

And I’m proof of that.

His gaze flickers to Ryder as he takes him in for a second or two. “If he makes you happy, then everything worked out for the best.”

“He does.” More than anyone else ever could. More than I ever thought possible. I spent years looking for love and here it was, right beneath my nose.

Aaron leans a bit closer before dropping his voice. “So…does he have any buff friends who might be interested in going out with a nerdy med student?”

My eyes widen and I’m just barely able to keep my lower jaw from coming unhinged. After swallowing down my surprise, I say, “I’m not sure, but I’ll check and get back to you.”

“Excellent. Keep me posted.”

With a nod, I throw my arms around his wiry form and hug him tightly. “I’m really going to miss you next year.”

“Same.”

We say our goodbyes before I beeline for Ryder. His gaze stays locked on me as I eat up the distance between us.

“Hey, babe,” he says when I’m close enough. “How’d your final go?”

“I don’t know. Hopefully, I passed.”

His blue eyes spark with humor as he shakes his head. “Please. We both know you’ll ruin the curve for everyone else.”

Maybe. We’ll see.

He sets the paperback down and I catch a glimpse of the cover. It’s one of those pretty special edition ones that are so popular right now.

“I’m glad you’re here. I was just getting to the good part.” He waggles his brows. “Chapter twelve.”

“Oh yeah?”

“Yup.” His voice dips. “It’s definitely giving me some ideas.”

I drop down beside him before pressing my lips against his. “What kind of ideas?”

“The sexy kind,” he growls.

His tone is enough to have my core dampening with need. “Those are the very best ones.”

“They are, aren’t they?”

“Maybe we should take this back to my place so we can explore them in more depth.”

“Jeez, can’t I go anywhere without seeing you two all over each other?” my brother yells from the cement path that cuts through campus.

We both turn and stare as he shakes his head in disgust. A couple of his teammates grin as they pass by. While Mav doesn’t mind us being together, he has zero desire to see any PDA.

And I can’t blame him for that.

Ryder’s lips bow. “I think getting out of here sounds like an excellent idea.”

It takes fifteen minutes to get back to my apartment. Thankfully, Carina is out, and we have the place all to ourselves.

And then Ryder makes love to me.

Several times.
