I was now faced with three decisions. I could get up and walk around to his other side, but he’d just switch hands. I could let him have my food, but the competitive streak in me didn’t want to give up that easily. Or my third option was, I could climb into his lap to straddle him, and then I would be within range of both of his arms.

But did I have enough guts to do it? I didn’t want to scare the guy off.

He looked at me from the corner of his eye. “I don’t know what you’re thinking over there, but you’d best stop,” he teased. “This popcorn is mine now. You lost fair and square.”

That’s it. Challenge accepted.

I swiftly pounced on his lap before he realized what I was doing and could block me.

I thought I’d stunned the guy because when I reached for his hand, he didn’t seem to bother to even tighten his grip on the bag.

I looked down into his face and smiled. “Thank you very much for giving it back to me.”

I started to move back to sit on the couch when I was flipped onto my back. I held the bag of popcorn over my head even though half of it had landed on us because I wasn’t going to give up that easily.

Unfortunately for me, Liam’s arms were longer, and he swatted the bag right out of my hand. I heard it hit the ground, and my mouth fell open.

“I can’t believe you just did that.”

He smiled. “You left me no choice. This way, no one wins.”

I wanted to wrap my arms around his neck and kiss him, but since I couldn’t, I decided the fight wasn’t over. “Not true. I’m going to put another bag in the microwave.”

When he didn’t move off of me, I arched my hips to let him know he needed to move back.

Except my pussy rubbed right over his hard dick.

Hisharddick.

Wait. When did he become aroused?

Liam looked as shocked as I felt, and we both froze.

Now was the time to do what I hadn’t been brave enough to do a few seconds ago. I should just take him in my arms and plant one on him.

But I waited too long. Because Liam sat up and backed away from me. All the way to the other side of the couch.

He cleared his throat, and I knew whatever he was going to say next was going to disappoint me.

“I think it’s time for me to head to bed. I got up early this morning for work, so we could get here at a decent time. And with—”

I cut him off before he could say anything about not wanting to get involved with me, “No, no, it’s fine.” I faked a yawn. “I’m tired too.”

I literally watched as his shoulders relaxed.

I’d had no idea the thought of kissing me was so stressful.

Not wanting to sit there any longer in case he could see the discontent written all over my face, I got up and began to clean up the mess we’d made during our play fight.

“Let me help you,” he said, getting up.

“It’s okay. I got it,” I said, picking up the bag from the floor and carrying it over to the garbage. “I saw a hand vac charging in the bedroom. I’ll go grab it.”

I jetted to the bedroom, took a couple of deep breaths, grabbed the vacuum, and went back out into the main room.

“Speaking of bed, where are we sleeping tonight?” I asked with a normal and casual voice. I was pretty proud of myself.

“You can have the bedroom, and I’ll sleep out here.”
