His smile expands.
I scan the apartment. “So where is it?”
His arms are still around me, his hands settling at the small of my back.
“Did you think I was gonna make it easy for you?” he asks. “You have to find it.”
Which excites me even more. God, this man knows how to work me up.
I pull away from him, starting for the kitchen.
“Colder,” he says, which makes me do a double take.
“Are we really playing this game right now?”
“My games are fun.”
Yes, they are.
I take a step toward the living room.
“Colder.”
“What are you up to, A?” I take a step toward him, and he waits a moment, his gaze set on mine. “Warmer.”
“Oh, I have a feeling I’m really gonna like this surprise,” I say, returning to him and hooking my arms around him; I like them better like that anyway. “Are you my gift?”
He chuckles. “It’s on me somewhere, but you still have to find it.”
I slide my hands to his ass, gripping firmly. “This it?”
“Now, that wouldn’t be much of a surprise at this point, would it?”
“Maybe not, but I definitely have some things in mind for it.”
As I pull my hands back to continue my search, my right hand slides across his torso.
“Warmer.”
I move down to his crotch, thinking it an obvious choice.
“Colder, perv,” he says with that charming-ass smile.
I wince. “What the fuck are you playing at?”
He’s really got me stumped here, and the way he’s beaming, he must know he’s winning our bet. I run my hand under the hem of his hoodie, up his smooth flesh, probing higher.
“Warmer,” he whispers.
There’s this hope in me, one I feel stupid for entertaining. He’s going to know the moment I put my hand there that it’s what I wish for so badly, but my hand settles on the spot under his pec—myspot.
“Ding. Ding.You found it.”
His eyes are on mine, so he must catch the red in my cheeks, since they’re warm.
There’s some tension in me, like I’m gonna find out this is all a prank, but the intensity in his gaze doesn’t suggest he’s kidding.
With my free hand, I grab the hem of his hoodie and pull it up, steadily revealing the lines in his torso, shadows cast beneath them by the overhead light.
