“You should keep that foot elevated,” he says, staring down at my ankle.

“I know, and I will.” I pat the space next to me. “But just sit here with me for a minute. I want to tell you something. It’s important.”

“Okay.” As he takes a seat, he looks concerned and adds softly, “Babe, you’re worrying me. Is there something else going on?”

“Nothing bad,” I assure him with a laugh.

He’s so sweet, worrying about me like this. And the way he came to my aid earlier, with no questions or hesitation. Our earlier argument now just seems silly. I’m glad he didn’t hold it against me.

Thinking about his amazing response to my mishap, calling the team trainer and everything, I take his hand in mine. “Hayden…”

As I take a deep breath, his pale blue eyes meet my gaze. “Yes?”

Exhaling quickly, I say in a rush, “I know this isn’t the most romantic of circumstances, but there’s probably never going to be a perfect time. Even if there were, I’m tired of waiting. The simple fact is, Hayden Harrington, you drive me crazy sometimes, and you certainly know how to push all of my buttons, both good”—I waggle my brows—“and bad, but I freaking love your annoying, and also hot and sexy, ass.”

First he looks shocked, but then it dawns on him what I just said.

Suppressing a big-ass smile, he volleys back, “Wow. You love my ass, huh?”

I smack his arm. “Stop it. You know what I mean.”

“I know, sweetheart.” Scooting closer, he takes my face in his hands. “Addison Knight, you are the woman for me. I’ve known it for a while now. You make me want to be a better man, though I know I’m definitely a work in progress. That being said, I want to be my best for you, because, babe, I fucking love you too.”

His lips crash down on mine, and it’s our best kiss yet—hot, passionate, and filled with the love we just declared for each other.

We don’t stop or slow down.

It’s like we can’t get enough.

He lifts me and carries me upstairs to the bedroom, where clothes are discarded and bodies are joined.

Hayden is careful with my ankle, but it doesn’t matter. Nothing hurts in this moment.

No, every part of my body feels amazing, especially when he works me with his hands, his tongue, and his glorious cock.

“Ahhhh…” I fall apart beneath him, taking him with me.

Afterward, we lie wrapped up together until we must have each other once again.

This is our love being expressed, and it feels like we might never leave this bed.

Hayden

Addison tells me she doesn’t ever want to leave the bed, and I feel the same way. I could love her like this forever.

But there comes a time that we have to stop.

We wear each other out, at least for the time being. Plus, I’m concerned about her ankle. We’ve been careful, but she really should get some rest and ice and elevate it again.

The other issue that arises is that we’re both starving, as neither of us ever had any dinner.

So, after cleaning up and slipping our clothes back on, we make our way down to the living room.

Actually, I carry Addison.

Yeah, I’m not about to let her hobble down the stairs and take another chance on falling.

“Are you going to carry me up and down the stairs all the time now?” she asks with a chuckle as I set her down on the sofa.
