“No.”
“Better tell your cock, then. But I can definitely lend a hand with that. It’s the least I could do.”
His brown eyes sparkled with mischief. The fucker was doing this on purpose, and I was falling for it hook, line, and sinker. “There’s nothing to help with. Get your stuff and let’s go. You stink and need a shower.”
He swung his arm toward the conveyor belt. “You’re not gonna help me carry them? I can only do so much with Allister.”
Pinching the bridge of my nose, I had to wonder what I had done to deserve this asshole barging into my life? And why was I standing so close to him?
“Why are you doing this?”
I watched as he tapped his index finger on my chin. “It’s okay, Cappy. But just know your beautiful hazel eyes are telling on ya. You like me, and I’m not gonna tell anyone if ya decide to take me up on my offer. We’ll call it a thank-you gift.”
I slapped his finger away again before I remembered we had onlookers. So I took his hand and laced our fingers together. Moving in close to his mouth, I was low-key concerned he mightkiss me again, but I took the chance. “You know nothing about me.”
“Likewise. And whatever put that chip on your shoulder isn’t gonna work. We’re gonna be living together for a long time.”
Fucking hell. He smelled so damn good, even doused in coffee. This situation was even more dangerous than I initially thought. I was going to have to keep him locked in the guest house.
When I didn’t reply, he smiled. “Well, think about it. I appreciate you letting me stay in your little beach house.”
I took a step back and tried to calm my erratic breathing. He was baiting me again. “It’s not little, and the team is paying me. It’s not for you.”
I was not getting into a size war with him. There was no need to compensate for anything or defend my prowess.
Another expression I couldn’t read drained the humor from his face. He curled his lips in and gave me a nod as he glanced down at his cat.
“Either way, we appreciate it. I’m looking forward to getting to know you better, whether you swing from my banana tree or not.”
His words caught me off guard again and sounded like something Lennox would say. This time, I laughed, and his face lit up like I’d made him happy.
“There’s something wrong with you.”
Colin shrugged but gave me a half smile. “See there,” he said, throwing an arm over my shoulders. “We’re gonna be just fine, Cappy.”
His arm slipped away when he stepped back and reached for his bag. He smirked and waved his arm as he headed toward the door.
“Be a mate and grab that, eh?”
Rolling my eyes, my good manners kicked in as I picked up his bag and followed him out the door.
Chapter 6
Colin
Iwas struggling to keep my thoughts and hands off my teammate. From the moment my eyes landed on him, I knew this was going to go one of two ways. We’d either kill each other or end up fucking each other to the death.
The sexy American was my height, with meticulously styled dark blond hair and wary hazel eyes. He was uptight, making Carson St. James so much fun to mess with. He appeared straight as an arrow, but like I told him, his eyes gave him away. Whether he took me up on my offer to pursue his fantasies would be up to him. I was down to fuck or fuck around any time he wanted. It just might take a bit to get him there.
But pushing his buttons was going to be my new favorite pastime. I could find creative ways to get under his skin just to rile him up. It didn’t take me two seconds to observe his pressed denim jeans with the crease down the front and clean-shaven face to know what kind of man he was.
When we got outside the doors of the airport, I stopped in my tracks and waited for him to catch up. I grinned when he walked past me carrying my ruined suit and giant suitcase. I wanted to tell him it had wheels, but he was having such a goodtime showing off his manhood that I let him do it. Who was I to interrupt his good time?
Carson glanced over his shoulder a time or two as I purposefully trailed behind him. He had a delightfully tight bum, and I hoped one day to sink my cock inside it. Just thinking about the squeeze made me moan.
The sound made him stop and turn around, muscles flexing as he scowled at me. “What are you doing?”
I grinned. “Nothing. Taking in the scenery.”
