“I’m listening.” And I repositioned my body to face him. The light hit the bracelet perfectly and I smiled when he blushed. “Ronnie, what is it?”
“I bought that for you the night before the charity event. I wanted to tell you that night, but I chickened out.” His brow furrowed and I felt awful. Worse than awful.
“I’m sorry I let what I overheard ruin this.”
“No, this is as much my fault as yours. I should’ve told you. I should’ve fought for you. I get why you lied about Tony—”
“I should’ve told you. I got scared.”There, I admitted it.“But we can learn from this. No more holding back.”
“Agreed. Look, I have something else to say.”
“Shit, that doesn’t sound good.” I tensed again.
“No. Nothing like that.” He groaned. “God, this is hard.” He cleared his throat. “This is the first time asking this…for real. But, would you be my girlfriend? For real?”
“Oh my god.” I lifted my head and cackled. “Your first time?”
“Yeah, give me a break,” he scoffed, and flipped over so I couldn’t see his face. I snuggled up behind him and spooned his massive body. “No cuddling until you give me an answer.”
“It’s a firm maybe.”
“Maybe?” He spun around so fast he had me pinned underneath him. “Do I need to show youagainhow good we are together?”
“I think so. I do like a good showing.”
“You’re a pain in the ass.” But he grinned when he said it.
“I’myourpain in the ass.”
“That you are.” He brought his tongue down on my nipple and sucked it into his mouth, the metal ring clinking against his teeth. “Yes or no?”
“Mmm,” I moaned and arched my back.
“Greta.” He bit down on it and I jumped. “I’ll make this hard for you.”
“Yeah. Give me something hard.”
And he tickled me. It was so aggressive and fun and sexy, the way he knew the right spots to hit. I cried from laughter and decided to give in. “Yes. Yes. Jesus, yes. I’ll be your goddamn girlfriend. For real.”
“Good. My little cleat chaser. I’ll make it worth it.”
“Yeah you will. You know your way around the bases and how to use a nice piece of wood. It’s a perfect combo.”
“God, I love you.”

“Gabs, come here for a minute.” I patted my lap with excitement bursting in my belly. Ambar had emailed me the article—and I couldn’t have been more impressed. “I want to show you something.”
“Yeah? It’d better be good. Last time you did this, you mooned me.” She chuckled and plopped down on my lap. It was a typical Saturday morning for us—coffee and time in bed before she had to work and I had to head to the gym. With the season starting in a couple of weeks, I made sure to spend every second I could with her. Mygirlfriend.
She wrapped her little arms around my neck and planted a wet, aggressive kiss on my mouth.Hot damn.“You taste perfect. I want more.”
I hummed in response and let the kiss last longer than necessary. It was almost too much, because my dick jumped to life. And I knew she felt it. “Ronnie, put him away if you want to get anything done. I get distracted when he’s out.”
“And I love that you love my cock.” I nuzzled her neck and moved my mouse. “Here, the computer’s on now. You need to read this.”
