“Oh yeah, who is it?”

“If you only knew.”

“Well now I have to put my investigator skills to work.”

He barks a laugh, before he pushes me out and spins me again.

We continue our little banter, carrying our laughs, dancing, before the night finally ends and I drive myself home.

On to You

Jax

It's been two days since the wedding. Macie refused to stay at the house so, I followed her home making sure she got there safely. Damn this girl is set in her ways.

Finishing morning practice, Dakota and I are headed back to his house so I can help him get the rest of their shit out of their house into ours.

My best friend will be living in my house, his mother, and his little sister that I’m obsessed with. This ain’t good.

I had a good time with her at the wedding. Her soft skin against my rough calloused hands, how easy it was to spin her around and make her laugh.

I am in no mood to move furniture today, but at least I’ll be spending the rest of this day with her.

I pull into Koda’s driveway parking behind him, noticing dad is already here. Of course the fucker is, he can skip practice, but I can’t. My gaze snaps over, seeing Macie walk out of the front door with a box bigger than her in her arms, but she carries it with ease. For her little ass, she is pretty fucking strong.

I get out of my car, making my long strides towards her, reaching out I take the box from her hands.

“I’m not helpless.” She snaps before she sighs.

“Didn’t say you were.”

“Well, thank you.” Wiping the sweat beading on her forehead with the back of her hand, looking like she didn’t get any sleep. Her hair is pulled up into one of those messy styles, and it drives me crazy.

“You alright?” Asking her with concern, she looks exhausted.

“Yeah, I worked last night so I'm tired.”

“Worked?” I ask scrunching my brows in confusion.

“Yeah, I work at night.”

“Doing what?”

She drops her gaze from me, clearly hiding something. “Don’t worry about it, there’s still a lot to do.” Turning, she walks away from me.

What the fuck. I put the box in the truck, and I follow her into the house, leaving Dakota’s fucking ass outside with our parents, I need to know what she’s doing. She works at the rink giving kids skate lessons, and they aren’t open at night.

“Macie.” I growl as I follow her.

“Leave it alone Jax, I’m not talking about it.” She says as she runs up the stairs and her little ass bounces in my face with every step she makes and I’m ready to drop to the floor.

“Don’t run from me.”

“I’m not, I’m trying to get this done so I can sleep for a few hours.”

“Where are you working that keeps you out all night Macie?”

“I dance, okay.” She sighs and I cock a brow, my mind starting to stir.
