CHAPTER THIRTY-SIX

TOO. DAMN. HIGH

CAGE

Ileftmy Sleeping Beauty with aCHAPTER ELEVENcard by the bed.

Lake:I think I’m going to really like this chapter! I was thinking of telling my family that I’m getting married. What do you think?

I downed the rest of my breakfast before meeting with my coaches to watch the footage from the previous day’s game.

“Porn?” Grayson, one of my wide receivers sat down across from me.

I continued to stare at Lake’s text. “Better than porn.”

“Not possible.”

“Clearly you haven’t met my favorite lake.”

“Mmm… no, but I’ve seen her photos.”

Looking up, I narrowed my eyes.

He held up his hands. “It’s all good. They’re tasteful. And out of respect to you, I have a copy of the magazine on my coffee table, not on my bed stand.”

“Good to know you value your life.”

Cage:Who’s the lucky guy?

Lake:The one with his face buried between my legs right now.

Cage:Watch it.

Lake:I’m shipping Christmas gifts today. I don’t have anything for your family yet, and Christmas is in one week.

Cage:I’ve taken care of it.

Lake:For real?

I laughed. Grayson gave me a smirk.

Cage:For real.

Lake:What do you want?

Cage:I think you mentioned the area between your legs. Throw a bow on it and I’m good.

Lake:Yeah, so I’m going to call my family now and tell them.

Cage:I didn’t ask your dad for permission. Maybe you should wait until I ask him. Huge oversight on my part.

Lake:Sure. You’ve been attempting to impregnate his daughter for weeks. I feel pretty certain nothing about the proposal was an oversight, but rather an afterthought by this point.

A baby. God, I could hear Tom Jones grilling me about that.“Did you knock my baby girl up? Did you ‘enjoy’ knocking her up?”

Cage:Would it be weird to get married and even have children without actually telling your family?
