“I didn’t want to assume—”

He nearly cackles. “What-the-fuck-ever. Get in here.”I like it when he’s bossy.

“How about aplease?” I say.

“I’d love a please.” He grabs my side.

After shaking my head at his stupid joke, he drags me back to his bedroom, and I peel off my shirt. He kicks off his shoes and hops onto the bed, crossing his arms behind his head to watch.

“Why aren’t you getting naked?”

“Whyareyou?”

“I figured because—”

“Oh, you figured right. But first I want to cuddle.”

I think he’s fucking with me and finish removing my top and climb into bed topless next to him. He doesn’t seem to notice, he simply tucks me into his side and pulls out my hair tie, gently running his fingers through my hair and then presses a kiss to my forehead. I close my eyes and focus on his touch.

“I want to see you.”

My eyes pop open, and I turn to look at him.

“My face?”

He grins. “No, smartass. I want toseeyou. And I want to seeonlyyou. And I want you to see only me.”

A giggle slips out. “Are you asking me to go steady?” I tease.

He grips my ass, and I yelp.

“Yeah, maybe I am.” He beams. “I like you, Freya... I really fucking like you.”

He tucks his chin down, and I taste his lips. I’ll never get enough of his kisses.

My voice softens, and a blush rises to my cheeks.

“I like you too.”

He closes his eyes and exhales, relieved that we both feel it. “Say yes.”

I bite my lip and hold my breath for a second, relishing the moment. I like the idea of us being exclusive.

“Yes.”

We’ve done aftercare together, but that was always after sex. There was a reason for it. Now I question if it was always more than that, but I was just too mad to see it.

“Good.” He kisses my forehead and snatches the TV remote off his nightstand. “You want to watch something? I DVR’dSecond Bite. The new season isn’t streaming yet. I thought you might like to see it.”

I’ve fallen so hard.

TWENTY-EIGHT

“Kucy! Who’s in your seats?” Conway nods to the stands.

“What?” They are usually empty unless I give them away to other players for their families or charities.Or Freya.Crouching on the ice, I adjust my skates. When I stand and spin around, I see my girl in the crowd.

“That the bartender from Tops?”
