A single touch from him is electrifying.
This is a power that he has.
Him alone.
It’s a power that makes my heart pound and forces honesty from me. I open my eyes and give him the answer he’s hoping for.
“I don’t want to stop either.”
He smiles. A smile from Micah is a vibrant rainbow arching across the sky; something rare and magnificent.
I can’t help myself. I throw my arms around his neck and pull him down for a kiss. Our mouths meet, his tongue finds mine, and the busy downtown scenery fades, even the loud traffic noise receding to a low hum. I could lose track of time this way, kissing him for hours, or days. He lifts me up, tangling his fingers in my hair and not caring to hide the fact that his stiff erection grinds into my body on a hectic street corner in Em City. He’s reckless and impulsive and so fiercely alive that I could easily get lost in him without complaint.
While I still have a little bit of sense remaining, I break away and tip my head back to look him in the eye. “I refuse to just be your fuck buddy.”
Micah touches his forehead to mine. “You’re not.” Then he grins. “Doesn’t mean we can’t fuck though, does it?”
“No. But it means you have to take me out tonight on a real date.”
I’m afraid he’ll balk at the word, laugh at the very idea.
He doesn’t.
“Sure. We’ll do anything you want. The fight’s tonight but I’ll be done by nine.”
“I’ll come to your fight.”
He shakes his head immediately. “No way, not the kind of place you would want to hang out.”
“Bullshit. I want to see your fight, Micah.”
His uneasiness fades, replaced with amusement. “All right. Conner’s planning to go. You can sit with him.”
“Good.”
Micah snorts and sweeps me up into his arms. “He’s gonna fall the fuck over when he sees this.”
“He’ll recover.” I snuggle against him, burying my face in his warm neck. “Will you be carrying me to my car?”
“Can’t have you limping around on a bad ankle. Are you in the parking garage next door?”
“No. Start walking. I’ll give the orders on where you should go. Perhaps I’ll make you walk a couple of extra blocks to atone. Feel free to grovel some more along the way.”
His chuckle vibrates in his chest. “In that case, I might just take you wherever I feel like taking you.”
I lift my mouth to his ear. “Do that.”
Because it’s possibly, maybe,likely,what I really want.
Chapter11
Micah
The hot water stings the shallow cut under my left eye. Other than that, a few ribs might be bruised by tomorrow but it’s nothing. I’ve ended fights in worse shape with lesser opponents.
The rounds were quick and easy. A nice surprise because I’ve felt off all week and wound up half assing all my time in the gym. I always want to win, always plan to win, but it’s rare to step into the ring with the kind of amped up fire I felt tonight unless the match is personal.
In a way, itwaspersonal. My opponent never did anything outside the ring to get under my skin but the instant the bell rang he was toast. There wasn’t a prayer I’d lose with Tess looking on in the audience. If she wants to watch a show, then I’d give her a show.
