A beat of silence, and then he says, “Are you okay with getting closer?”
Am I?“Yes.”
I don’t dare move a muscle as he grazes the tip of my ear with his teeth and smooths a hand down my leg, stopping at the inside of my knee.
“How much closer?”
“Get on my lap, Braxton,” he orders softly.
I might not have had anything to drink tonight, but I’m drunk on something. There’s no other explanation for why I follow his command and move to stand in front of him.
For a rare moment, I watch him from above, taking in the full image of him. The slightly spread legs, wide chest, and thick arms.His confidence.It would be damn near suffocating had I not spent most of my life acclimating to it.
“My lap,” he repeats, hands smoothing down his thighs in a silent invitation.
I swallow hard, staring at his fingers, lust making my thoughts drift.Yes, sir. Anything you want.
Next thing I know, there’s a pair of thick thighs beneath mine and a hard chest against my back. Maddox wastes no time before touching me again, resting one hand back on my thigh while the other dances over my hip.
His touch nearly undoes me, each one cautious but sure. Like he knows I won’t reject him but isn’t sure ifhecan handle more.
“Jesus, Liam. Don’t you have a hotel room you can go to?” Bentley barks, drawing everyone’s attention.
Darting my eyes to Liam and the girl on his lap, I flush at their new position. It’s not embarrassment that has me turning red, but the look of pleasure on her face as her hips swirl in his lap, his face buried in her neck.
A rumble builds in the chest at my back as Maddox follows my line of sight and presses his forehead to the side of my head.
“Do they make you uncomfortable?” His voice is gravel.
“No,” I reply, shocking myself.
He shifts in his seat, that ghost of a touch on my waist becoming a firm one. “Fuck.”
“Does it makeyouuncomfortable?” I ask nervously, unsure of how to read his discomfort.
He pulls his head away and drops it back against the couch, eyes to the ceiling. “They’re not what has me feeling this way, Braxton.”
My mouth dries up. “Oh.”
This time, his laugh isn’t bitter. It’s genuine, and it settles some twisted-up part inside of me. “Thank you for coming tonight.”
I twist to knock his shoulder with mine, but the move has my ass brushing something hard and thick.So thick. Oh, my God.
He hisses a breath and stills me with his grip on my hip.
“You’re welcome. I agreed to help you, and even if I hate places like this, I won’t go back on my word,” I rush out, attempting to hide the fact I now know that his cock is just as big as I thought it would be. And that he’s hard.For me.
“This won’t be a regular thing. I don’t plan on going out much more this season. This is just for Alex.”
“I know. But still.”
He nods. “Thanks.”
Suddenly feeling Liam’s eyes on us, I blurt out just loud enough for Maddox to hear, “We should kiss.”
“I thought we said no kissing.”
“We broke that rule already. Plus, Liam obviously doesn’t believe us. Do any of your teammates?”
