“Are you ready for your game tonight?” I ask, wanting to busy his mind with something less heavy.
“I’m always ready,” he says, changing his tone as excitement filters through the phone. “It should be a good one. The Hawks are number one in their division, so I’m looking forward to the challenge. Are you sure you don’t need my two tickets? I can leave them for you.”
“No, I already told my family I would sit with them tonight. Miles and Olivia are bringing Bee, and it’s Cruz’s first hockey game, so I want to be there. Lyla bought him a cute little Bolts jersey, and Bee and Charlotte have matching pink dresses with the team logo across the front. They are so excited to wear them tonight,” I smile just thinking about how cute they are going to look.
“I have no doubt they are going to look adorable.” I hear a shuffling in the background and voices off in the distance before Knox comes back on. “I have a meeting in a few minutes I have to get to, but before I go, you mentioned the whole gown issue earlier about the ball, and I want you to know it’s already taken care of.”
“What do you mean, taken care of?” I ask, furrowing my brows in confusion.
“Just arrived today, in fact, along with a few other things I arranged to be sent over. I put them on the bed for you before I left this morning.”
“Knox, you didn’t have to buy me anything.”
“I wanted to. Besides…everything I got you, I’m going to enjoy it immensely when I see it on you. It’s probably more of a gift to myself than you,” he says, changing his tone from playful to that seductive low octave that always melts my panties right off.
“I don’t know about that,” I murmur, feeling myself getting worked up and excited to wear something he picked out. “I’m pretty sure I’m going to enjoy it just as much.”
“God, what I wouldn’t give for fifteen minutes with you right now,” he softly growls under his breath.
“Only fifteen minutes?” I ask in a teasing voice.
“You’d be surprised how much I can get done in fifteen minutes,” he wickedly adds with a throaty chuckle. “I can make you cum in less than two. The other thirteen are just an added bonus.”
“Stone, meeting is about to start,” I hear Jett suddenly call out. “Who are you talking to? Is it Savi?”
“None of your fucking business,” Knox shoots back at him.
“That means, it’s Savi,” Jett laughs in the background. “Tell lucky charm, I said hi.”
“Tell Jett I said hi,” I say for Knox to relay.
“She says hi,” Knox repeats with an agitated sigh.
“Who says hi?” I hear Cayden’s voice next as he joins the conversation.
“He’s talking to Savi,” Jett adds, filling him in.
“Tell her I said hi, too,” Cayden says, his voice echoing through the phone.
“Jesus Christ,” Knox mutters. “She says hi to everyone, okay? Now get the fuck out so I can say goodbye and get to this meeting.”
I hear them laughing as they walk away, clearly having fun at Knox’s expense.
“I need to let you go before the whole damn team wants to talk to you. You’ve gotten them all under your spell, and I swear they are all crushing like high school kids.”
“They do not have a crush on me,” I laugh. “They just love messing with you.”
“Yeah, well, they are doing a damn good job at it,” he mutters.
“Do I have a jealous boyfriend on my hands?”
“More like a territorial one.”
“Mmm, that’s actually kind of hot, and turning me on,” I giggle, causing him to softly groan.
“I love you. Goodbye, Savi,” he warns, needing me to play nice so he can get to his meeting.
“I love you, too. Bye,” I grin. “Oh, and Knox?” I ask innocently.
