Caleb

Ilove hockey.

But I’d give anything to be next to Margo, experiencing the game for the first time.

That thought plagues me on the way back to her house. My hand on her thigh, my fingers caressing her through the denim. She doesn’t stop me or pepper me with questions. Her gaze is heavy-lidded, and she glances at me questioningly when I pull to the curb.

It’s awill I see you later?look.

Yes, baby. You absolutely will.

If the Bryans weren’t expecting her home after, I would take her back to my house and show her how winning a game makes me feel.

I reveal the game winning puck from my pocket and hold it out.

“For me?”

Fuck me, her voice rasps. My dick leaps to attention.

I nod. “Keep it.”

She smiles… and then gets out of the car. I watch her ass sway as she walks up the front steps. The porch light gives her a halo for a moment, and then she’s in.

I make a show of driving away, just in case Lenora or Robert are watching from a window.

But make no mistake. I’ll be back.

Chapter 20

Margo

My bed dips, and my eyes fly open.

A shadow looms above me.

I open my mouth to scream, but all that comes out is a hoarse wheeze before a hand clamps over the lower half of my face. Strong fingers dig into my skin.

“Easy, baby,” Caleb whispers.

When I relax, he removes his hand from my lips and raises an eyebrow.

“You came back?”

“Am I unwelcome?” He smirks.

“Y-yes,” I sputter. I try to sit up, but he’s lying on top of my comforter. It pins me in place. “Get out.”

He seems to contemplate it for a second, then rolls his eyes. “No. You gave me a look when I dropped you off. I thought we were finally on the same page.”

“Yeah, right…” Okay, fine. I did give him a look, but it was more of aI hope you don’t sneak in through my window tonightexpression. Clearly our wires got a little crossed.

Then there was the wholehe’s minethought process. As soon as I got inside, I realized… how fucking dumb am I?

Do I want Amelie or anyone else touching him?

No. Especially not in front of me. Or behind my back. Or in any innocent or nefarious capacity.

Do I want him touchingme?
