“Grant gossiped about me? I let him eat my crust.”

He laughs at my outrage. “He’s useful at times.” Ryland pulls into the underground parking lot of our building but locks the doors so I can't jump out. He’s learning my habits so well it’s freaky. “I don’t care about Cody. Everyone has a past. Only this right here is important now.” His finger points back and forth to each of us.

I lean over the divider between the seats ready to kiss the shit out of him for his comment, but he stops me with a hand on my shoulder.

“I get it too. You’re worried about the lifestyle and cheating, but know what Cody did was stupid because he’s a dumb fuck and didn't appreciate the package he had right in front of him. I’m not stupid.”

Holy shit could Ryland get any more amazing? I’d have this man’s babies… or buy a puppy with him. Both options I find equally terrifying.

His mouth opens like there’s a chance he has more to add, but I’m ready to move on. “Shut up,” I say and climb over the space sitting on his lap in the driver’s seat.

The seat moves back giving me more room between him and the steering wheel. It’s barely enough. Ryland’s still taller than any normal human being, so I lean back to stare up into his eyes and wait for him to kiss me. He doesn’t take long.
