“And you’re fine with that?” Piper asked.

I guided a strand of her hair behind her ear. “What? Everyone knowing I’m gone for the hottest girl here? Yeah, I’m fine with that.”

She tilted her head and smiled. “I like that.”

“You better.” I kissed her, dragging my tongue along hers, and got lost in her taste.

Her laugh vibrated against my chest. “Did you want to go to your place instead?”

I groaned and rested my chin on her head. “I do…I really fucking do, but I want to show you off even more.”

The place was packed, and from the roar of noise, the team was located in the back corner. It was an older bar with wood tables, perfect for getting together with friends. I guided Piper to where Jax and River sat in the corner booth, and Alex leaned against the wall, making out with a girl with long red hair.

The team went silent before an uproar of questions came through.

I raised my hand and silenced them. “This is Piper, and all you need to know is she’s special to me, and if you do anything to piss her off, you’ll be bag skating for the month.”

That was met with a mix of chuckles and low groans. Bag skating was basically just skating until you couldn’t breathe, recuperating only to do it again. They knew I’d do it too.

Jax got out of the booth and pulled Piper into his arms. “You came!”

She tilted her head. “Did you know I was coming?”

“Oh, I knew Lucas was asking you, but I sorta hoped you turned him down. I’m enjoying watching him suffer now that he finally pulled his head out of his ass,” Jax said, then proceeded to rub his hand over her hair and muss it up.

Piper squealed and wiggled away from him, and I pulled her into my chest, flattening her hair with smooth motions. “You’re gorgeous, babe.”

She took Jax’s spot and shifted further into the booth, and I followed after her, wrapping my arm around her back. If there was any hint of question that she was off-limits, everyone knew now.

“Glad you two worked it out,” River said and took a drink of his beer.

I shook my head, and he dropped the topic, his eyes catching on Alex before he lifted the menu. “Feel like pizza?”

“She can’t eat cheese,” I replied.

River’s brows pulled together. “Oh, shit. I would’ve picked you up special stuff when I grabbed groceries if you’d told me.”

“Someone beat you to it.” She glanced at me, but I just shrugged, playing it off like I didn’t know what she was talking about.

Piper shifted closer and rested her head in the crook of my arm. The crisp smell of green apples filled my senses, and I kissed her temple, contentment filling my brain. Jax brought over a round of drinks and an assortment of appetizers, including several dairy-free options, and within minutes, our table was packed with players.

Their voices turned to a muted hum in the background. My focus was caught on Piper. The way she lit up when she laughed or her cheeks tinged pink whenever anyone mentioned me. My gaze roamed over her features, and my ribs contracted until it felt impossible to breathe. I was so fucking in love with her. I wished Marcus could’ve seen it because he had nothing to worry about. I would never hurt her again.

Piper glanced up at me, and her eyes widened, noticing I was already looking at her. “You’ve been quiet.”

I circled her thigh just below the hem of her dress and lightly squeezed. “I’ve been thinking about you.”

“Cheesy,” she laughed, but her cheeks flushed red as I moved my palm an inch higher on her bare thigh.

I dropped my mouth to her ear and grazed it with my teeth. “I’m working on it.”

She sucked in a deep breath and tucked her chin into my chest. I arced my thumb over the soft skin of her thigh in agonizingly slow motions as I barely paid attention to the conversation around us. Within the hour, the guys’ eyes turned glassy, and their focus turned to the girls lined up for their attention.

I shifted my hand under the fabric of Piper’s dress and dragged my fingers up the inside of her thigh. She stiffened, sucking in a breath, and I paused for several moments until she sank further into my side. I bit back my groan when she spread her thighs just enough for me to reach higher. Fuck, my dick ached it was so hard.

She watched everyone around us, but I watched her. The way her breaths froze when I grazed over her panties and her sharp inhale when I slid my fingers under her panties and into her soaking wet core. A silent growl vibrated my chest, and I whispered in her ear. “You like me touching you with everyone here?”

Her cheeks flamed red, but she gave me a barely perceptible nod. That’s all I needed. I filled her slowly until my fingers bottomed out and my palm pressed against her clit. This was somehow the worst and the best idea I’d ever had.
