His smile stretches from ear to ear. “There’s my girl.”
“No pranking me during our relationship.”
“But pranking is my love language,” he pouts.
“Is it love when you trick your brother into thinking he has a broken leg?”
“Yep. It’s brotherly love.”
“You’re incorrigible.”
“And I’m all yours.”
The butterflies in my stomach awaken. They don’t bother stretching their wings. They immediately take off flying. They ram into my stomach as if they’re trying to escape their cage. I place a hand on my middle and order them to calm down.
“But I’m still going to pick up the bed today.”
“What?”
He draws a finger down my cheek. “I don’t want you to feel obligated to sleep in the same bed as me. Not when we’re this new. I want you to have the option of kicking me out knowing I won’t be sleeping on the couch or the floor.”
“Okay,” I give in since I don’t want him sleeping on the couch or floor ever again.
“Anything else we need to discuss?”
“I don’t think so.”
“Good,” he murmurs before his lips crash down on mine. His tongue traces my mouth before he pushes for entry. I don’t deny him. I’m not an idiot after all.
Beep! Beep! Beep!
Crap. My alarm. I yank away from Brody and reach for my phone to switch it off. I check the time and swear under my breath.
“I need to get going.”
Brody flops to his back on the bed with a groan. “My first day as a boyfriend and I’m cut off from sex already.”
I wag my finger at him. “Keep complaining and I won’t let you join me in the shower.”
He knifes up and jumps off the bed. “Come on,” he tags my hand and leads me to the bathroom. “Let me show you how awesome I am at shower sex.”
“I need to leave in thirty minutes.”
He smirks. “Challenge accepted.”
Oh goodie.
Chapter 25
If Moon asks, I don’t know what happened to her chocolate chip cookies. ~ Message from Riley on the Winter Falls Facebook page
Brody squeezes my hand as we walk toward the entrance of the Winter Falls’ library. “There’s no reason to be nervous.”
“I’m not nervous,” I lie.
“We’re just your average couple going on a date.”
I snort. “To movie night in a small town where everyone knows our business.”
