“Okay, love.”
“Or that. Now watch the movie.”
“Can I move closer?” I asked.
He stiffened. “No.”
“Just a little.” I pinched my thumb and forefinger together.
He sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose for a moment before staring my way. “Will you then shut up?”
“Completely.”
“Fine.”
“Fuck yes.” I grinned and scooted close. In a quick move, I placed my arm around his shoulders and adjusted him to lean against me.
“I did not say you could do this.”
But he didn’t shift away either. Though, he was as stiff as a board.
Reaching down between us, I lifted his arm enough to rest his hand on my thigh. “Just relax, snook. Enjoy this moment on our third date.”
“It’s not a date.”
Chuckling, I brushed my nose against his temple. Drawing in a breath, I then asked, “Then what would you call it?”
“Acquaintances watching a movie together.”
“And you’re curled into me for…?”
He tipped his head back, glaring up at me. “That was your doing.”
Chuckling, I kissed his nose, which made him quickly look away as his face heated. “Yeah, I know, and I’d do it again.” I gently squeezed him against me.
I fucking loved that he was right here.
Ryo sniffed like he was put out, but again, he didn’t move. What he did do was slowly unlock his limbs so they weren’t struck tight from tension.
About half an hour later, he’d fully relaxed, and his head slipped back as he made a cute, soft noise as slumber took him under.
Holy fuck.
This was big.
It was damn huge.
I never thought he’d be comfortable enough around me to relax like this. Not yet at least.
Of course, Ihadto take my phone out and snap a couple of pictures.
My damn fingers tingled at the urge to send them to Wolf to show him this massive development.
Although, if Ryo found out I did, he’d have my balls.
Not that I wouldn’t give them to him freely now.
So instead of sending them off, I placed my phone down and watched the rest of the movie with my exhausted man at my side.
