Not that he cares about the game, no.
In fact, he watches me from the field more than he watches the ball. Which pisses Shep off because they miss shots that way. But he doesn’t have much leg to stand on, my brother. Because he watches his girl from the field just as much.
Anyway, I’m making this request because as I said, Reed and Ledger still butt heads. And along with me being married to Reed, the other point of contention between them is that my brother is dating my husband’s sister, Tempest.
Which came as a relief after months of Ledge being an idiot about it.
But yeah, I don’t think Ledger and Reed will be best friends any time soon.
Reed bends down then, his features sharp and wolfish. “What do I get in return?”
My heart skips a beat. “What do you want?”
“You.”
“Me what?”
His eyes sweep over my features again. But this time, there’s no sign of the good, noble protector. This time when Reed looks me over, he’s doing it with that predatory, villanous intent that I love so much.
“I hear you’re a ballerina,” he drawls.
I bite my lip to stop my smile and nod. “I am.”
He pretends to think about it, all the while squeezing my waist, flexing his fingers in my braid. “So I want you to spin like one. For me.”
I pretend to be shocked as I play with the ends of his soft hair. “You want me to dance for you?”
“Fuck yeah,” he rasps. “You promise to dance for me like the pretty blonde ballerina you are and I’ll think about letting your brothers win tomorrow.”
God, I love him.
So much.
“And if I don’t?”
“Then I’ll have fun wiping the floor with them.”
I can’t stop my smile then as I shake my head. “You’re a villain, aren’t you?”
“I am.” He pulls me even closer if possible, tugging my neck back. “And you’re my fairy.”
“I am.”
“For the rest of our lives.”
“Until the end of time.”
His jaw clenches with emotion and I can’t help but whisper, “I love you, Roman.”
He swallows. “I fucking love you too, Fae.”
At last, he bends all the way down and I stretch myself all the way up so we can kiss after a long,longday of being apart.
Because this is my life now, see?
This wonderful, lovely life where I get to kiss my villain whenever I want. Where I get to tell him that I love him freely, without hesitation.
Where I get to dance for him.
