She glanced up at him. “Maybe just soda tonight.”
“Sounds good.” Desire tugged deep inside him. Yeah, they should be sober for whatever he did to her tonight. “Two Cokes, if you don’t mind.”
Quinn just flashed them another grin, which Hunter only caught out the corner of his eye.
He slid into the booth across from Jason and tugged Serena into his side. She squeaked under her breath as she sat down, and damn but that turned him on. Apparently he was a monster, and since she’d given him an inch, he’d taken a mile.
This control thing was fun, and it didn’t abate as they settled into social hour.
He had a ziplock bag with a washcloth in it in the pocket of his cargo pants in case the butt plug got to be too much for her. But every so often, when his teammates were distracted by pool or the hockey game on the big-screen, he checked in with her, and each time it was the same.
“You okay?”
“Mmm hmm.” Her cheeks would pink up immediately and her blink rate slowed. She even held her breath.
“Good girl.” He got such a rush out of praising her like that. This time he leaned in and brushed his mouth against her ear. “I can’t wait to feel it inside you when we get home. I’m going to take you at the front door.”
Her shoulders shuddered, but she just looked up at him and nodded. Eyes wide, mouth red. He kissed her, not caring if anyone noticed that he cared more about his woman than the game. Half of them were married or engaged anyway. They all got it.
He just hadn’t known thathewould get it, just like this. Boom, he was in love. In the blink of an eye, his entire paradigm had shifted, and now it was Serena all the time.
Across the booth, Quinn and Jason were debating the merits of flying somewhere for a few days.
“What about you guys? Since our seventy-two hours of leave is right before Christmas, don’t tell me you don’t want to go to Vegas.” Quinn leaned across the table and grinned at Serena. “Nathan Meyer’s girlfriend is a flight attendant. She thinks she can get us on a standby flight for cheap out of LAX. And if she can’t, we can road trip it.”
Hunter started to shake his head, but then he looked down at Serena. If she could spare the time off work, it might be interesting to see what Sin City brought out in her.
“What do you think?”
She smiled at him. “Whatever you want.”
He held her gaze for a moment, then nodded, not taking his eyes off her face for a second. “Count us in, Quinn.”
