“Right now?” She giggles and rolls onto her stomach to watch me.
My cock twitches at the sight of her. She’s so damn sexy, with her feet in the air and her peach-shaped ass on display.
“Fuck yeah. I don’t want you to spend another minute in that apartment. I want you here, where you belong. With me.”
Her eyes soften, and she sighs. “I love you.”
I squat down and kiss her. “I love you more.”
My phone buzzes with a text, from the bedside.
“Grab that for me, please.” I give Savannah the passcode to unlock my cell as I reach for the pair of athletic shorts lying beside my shirt. “Who’s it from?”
“Your mother,” she whispers.
I turn to find Savannah’s eyes wide with surprise and maybe a little fear. “What does it say?”
She visibly swallows as she reads the text aloud. “Family dinner tonight. Mandatory attendance. Bring Savannah and invite the team.”
Of course Ma is reaching out. I’m surprised she hasn’t until now. There isn’t a story on the internet about me that gets past her. My mother is also intuitive as fuck. She more than understands how Savannah and I needed a minute to get back on track. But now, our alone time is up, and it’s time to bring in the family.
I try to read Savannah’s face as she stares at the phone.
She gives nothing away. I grab the phone from her hand and chuck it onto the bed. I lift Savannah and slip her onto my lap, forcing her to look at me. “What do you think? Ready to meet the family?”
Her eyes bounce between mine as she clings to my shoulders. “Are you ready? It’s a big step, Nico.”
“You already met my mother. Remember?”
“But not as your girlfriend. This is different.”
Girlfriend. A poor description of the woman who holds my heart in her hands.
“You’re moving in, Savannah. Don’t you think it’s a little late to be worried?”
“I guess you’re right.” She nibbles her lip, and I tug it free, kissing her mouth.
I wish I could wash away her worry. It’s unfounded. I couldn’t have fallen in love with a more perfect woman for me.
Savannah is a strong, independent woman. She knows how to put me in my place and simultaneously keep me on my toes. She wants me. Nico the man, not the baseball player with the bad boy reputation and millions in my bank account.
“My mother is going to love you. Plus, you already know Talia, and we all know she loves you. So, what do you say? Ready to meet the rest of my family?”
“I guess we’re going to dinner.”
Fuck yes.I can’t wait to introduce my girl to my family. She’s going to fit right in.
Savannah yelps when I jump to my feet with her in my arms and carry her into the bathroom. “What are you doing?”
“Gotta wash you up before I take you to meet the family.”
“Dinner is not for hours,” she sniggers and traces the lion’s mane on my neck.
“I know.” I place her on the sink and step between her legs, forcing her to look up at me as she leans back, resting her hands on the counter.
“Then why the rush?” She bites the tip of her index finger seductively.
My cock jerks. Everything she does excites me.
