He has no idea. He’s romantic and oh so very tempting.

“You’re not scared, are you?”

My nostrils flare. Scared? I’ll show him. I slap my hand into his. “Fine. Deal. But if you die, it’s your fault, not mine.”

“I’m not going to die.” He kisses my forehead. “Promise.”

“Don’t make promises you can’t keep.”

“I don’t, Sunshine. I don’t.”

I blow out a breath. I hope he’s right. I hope my bad luck doesn’t extend to him. Because if he leaves me, I don’t think I’ll survive.

Special teams – Hudson’s brothers who are one step up from heathens

“Hurry up, Nova. We’re going to be late.”

She peeks her head out of the bathroom. “It’s not my fault. If you wouldn’t have come home from your workout all sweaty and sexy, I wouldn’t have jumped you.”

I chuckle. “You came before I managed to get your clothes off.”

She glares at me. “Did not.” She shuts the door in my face.

I message my mom to let her know we’re going to be late. I barely have a chance to put my phone in my pocket before it rings in response.

“You can’t be late,” Mom hisses.

“Nova isn’t ready yet.”

“But what if her family shows up before you?”

“You’ll be fine. Her family is nice.”

“Jack and Lily are millionaires.”

I chuckle. “You would be, too, if you’d let me give you some of my money.”

“It’s bad enough you bought a house for us.”

I sigh. I’m not having this argument again. “We’ll be there as soon as we can.”

“Thank you.”

I hang up the phone and knock on the bathroom door. “Mom’s freaking out. Can you—”

The door opens and I lose the ability to speak. Nova is dressed in a sweater dress that clings to all of her curves. Those breasts I love to suck on and those hips I love to hold onto while I sink into her from behind are on display.

My cock twitches. I clear my throat and think of the total offensive yards I ran my final year in the NFL. Once I have my cock under control, I step forward and kiss her forehead.

“You look beautiful.”

Her nose wrinkles. “It’s not too tight?”

I place her hand over my semi-hard cock. “No.”
