“Thanks for the ride, man,” he says, without taking his eyes off me. Grabbing my hand, he drops a kiss to my temple. “We gotta get out of here or I’m going to have you up against their fridge in about thirty seconds.”

Well, Nat called that one.

I can’t gether out of here fast enough.

I tried to be cool. Hang back and give Vassar a second with his girl before I was all over mine—only that first look at her past his shoulder—damn.

It might feel like she’s my girl, that she has been all this time. But this thing is new. And while I could see George was happy to see me, there was no missing the hint of nerves shadowing her eyes.

So I figured I’d go in slow. Hand at her back instead of buried in her hair. Kiss on the cheek instead of mouth-fucking her like I’m dying to do.

That was the plan until I stepped around Vassar and got a good look at her.

That sweater.

Shit, I knew she had spectacular tits. It’s impossible to miss. But damn.

And more than that, she did something with her hair. Something sexy and still so totally her. There was a hint of makeup where I’d never seen it before—and while I think this woman is perfect just exactly the way she’s looked every other time I’ve seen her since the day we met… knowing she went out of her way for me—it floors me. Humbles me.

It’s sweet and sexy and special and I appreciate it.

But also, it turns me on and I need to get her alone. And not just so I can get inside her—though that’s on the list. But so I can wrap her up in my arms and tell her how fucking pretty she is and how much I’ve missed her and kiss her the way she deserves.

Vassar’s got my gear in his truck and is going to pick me up for morning skate, and it looks like George doesn’t have anything other than that bottomless messenger bag. So it’s a quick exit, and she’s smiling at me as we walk out front.

I stop her before we clear the mostly private walk.

“Forget something?” she asks, but I can see in her eyes that she knows I didn’t. That this is about her and me.

“No.” I slide my hand around her neck, feeling the soft fall of her hair on the backs of my knuckles. I lower my mouth to hers, hesitating a breath from her lips. And when those honey-brown eyes come up to meet mine, looking at me like this kiss is all she wants in the world, I sink in.

So good.

Her mouth is sweet and soft and lush and inviting as she parts beneath the press of my lips. As her soft moan washes over my mouth, and she closes the distance between our bodies so I can feel her all the way down. As her arms wrap around me likeshewants to hold on to me as much as I want to hold her.

And when I pull back, it’s her mouth that’s following mine, chasing the break like she isn’t ready for it. Her fingers closing around my tie.

“George, I want you so bad,” I say against her lips and cheek. “But if we don’t stop now, I’m going to have you right here, and I’m pretty sure there are cameras out here for security.”

“I—I just…” She lets out a soft laugh and meets my eyes. “I’m not used to feeling like this. It’s like, once I stopped fighting it—”

“You got a taste of what I’ve been going through since the day I met you.”

A shadow passes behind her eyes, but whatever doubt it was is gone in a blink. And then she’s smiling up at me even brighter. “Yeah, I guess so.”

And the way she says it… it’s like shebelievesit. Believes in me.

And then I’m smiling even bigger than she is as we walk out to the waiting car.

“You got a limo?” She laughs, raising a single brow.

“Leg room?”

And honestly, I didn’t want to risk some Uber or Lyft driver paying more attention to who they had in their car than they were on the road.
