“Are you trying to drive me crazy?” I growl at Graham, who has now bent over and is grabbing something from inside the fridge.
“Wasn’t trying to, no.”
When he turns around and leans against the counter, the cocky smile on his face tells me his words are a lie.
That is exactly what he wanted to do. The man standing in front of me is infuriating. Because he knows he can drive me wild with need.
Fuck. I need to shut down this line of thinking.
“Who was on the phone?”
Graham does it for me. Leaning against the opposite counter, I cross my legs, mirroring Graham’s position. “My dad.”
“How are your parents?”
I nod my head. “Good. Our dads will be in town this week.”
Graham smiles at me. “My mom texted me earlier this week that they would be.”
“Didn’t care to share that nugget of information?”
I watch as Graham sips his water, swallowing it down, mesmerized by his throat. Again, he knows it too by the look on his face.
“I only assumed they told you.”
I scoff. “Well, I just found out. And we were invited to go to the game with them.”
“We were?”
I nod. “It seems more like a demand, really.”
“Are you demanding that I go with you?” Graham asks.
“Not demanding. I was hoping you’d want to come with me of your own free will.”
Graham closes the distance between us and drops his hands on either side of my hips. I’m completely enveloped in his space.
“What, like a date?” Graham asks.
“Well, a non-date date.”
“I have half a mind to say no because if this is you asking, no wonder you haven’t had a serious relationship.”
“Ouch.” I laugh. “Below the belt.”
“If the shoe fits…”
“Hey!” I smack his muscular chest. He doesn’t flinch. “It’s not like you’re looking for a relationship.”
Something flashes across his face, but it’s gone before I can pin it down. Whatever he’s feeling, he keeps to himself.
“It doesn’t mean we can’t go to the game together.”
“You want to?”
“As a non-date date?” Graham asks, slowly nodding his head. “I wouldn’t mind that.”
“Good.” I sink down to my knees. “Now I would like to do something that I don’t think you’ll mind either.”
