All my other thoughts shuddered to a halt as I buried my grin in Felix’s hair, toes curling at how happy that one word made me. Boyfriend.
“Boyfriend,” I said aloud. Even to my own ears, I sounded like an excited kid.
“Boyfriend,” Felix repeated, curling his fingers around mine where they were resting on his thigh. “If that’s okay.”
“Gosh, let me think about it,” I said, shuffling down the bed so I was eye-level with him. “The sweetest, most beautiful man I’ve ever met, who my nephew adores?—”
“—and who adores your nephew.”
“And who adores my nephew,” I agreed, yet another smile tugging at my lips. “Who picked me over his dream job…”
Felix snorted, rolling his eyes. “I give them six months before the funding runs out.”
“Uh huh. Who picked me over a job that definitely wasn’texactlywhat he told me he wanted to do. Who is unbelievably sexy,” I added, leaning in for a kiss. We must both have had morning breath, but I didn’t care if Felix didn’t. I didn’t even notice. “And actually famous, by the way. People recognize him in public.”
“People recognize you in public,” Felix pointed out.
“Because I fixed their car.”
“Which is way more helpful than prancing around a stage.”
I kissed him again for that. “Lucky people are going to start recognizing you as their kids’ ballet instructor, then.”
Felix hummed happily. “Small town.”
“Small town,” I agreed. “Anyway. Where was I?”
“Go back to unbelievably sexy,” Felix said, nudging my nose with his.
“Oh?” I shifted closer to him, moving my hand up to the perfect curve of his butt. His breath hitched as I gave it a firm squeeze. “Like that?”
“Like that.” Felix swallowed.
“Unbelievablysexy,” I repeated, slipping my fingers between his cheeks. I really would have to go sooner rather than later, but I had a little time to tease. “That man wants me to be his boyfriend?”
“He really does,” Felix said, voice gravelly.
I kissed him again. Just the press of mouth to mouth, soft lips,touch. I didn’t need more than that. Knowing he was there was enough.
“I guess I could do that,” I murmured against his lips. “If he really wanted it.”
Felix tutted, surging forward to kiss me alotharder than I’d kissed him. I rolled onto my back when he pushed at my shoulder, making a happy sound as he followed. He sat up, perched on my hips like a prince on his throne, eyes glittering as he looked down at me.
“He really wants,” Felix said. “And he’ll apologize to Benji.”
“What for?” I asked, brow raised.
A slow smile spread over Felix’s face as he rolled his hips against mine, angling them so his hard cock skimmed over the sensitive skin of my stomach. “For making you late this morning.”

FELIX
“Pancakes on a Thursday morning,”Cooper’s dad commented as he came into the kitchen, sniffing the air. “Must be a special occasion.”
Heat rose to my face as he sat down next to me at the breakfast bar.
I’d never had to face anyone’s parents the morning after. Or the slightly later morning after the earlier morning.
