“You’re so pretty.” I sigh.

For some reason that statement makes the girls laugh uncontrollably. I look from them to Thor to see him roll his eyes. “See, I told you, best bud. The men would line up for that ass in jail,” Cara cackles.

Wait, what? I hear all the guys laughing and now I feel the need to defend my man. Nobody laughs at him.

“They would not. He’s manly pretty. Fuckin’ gorgeous and sexy as hell!”

Everyone stops laughing and stares at me with stunned expressions. I gaze up at Jonah worried I might have overstepped but he’s staring down with a huge smile. “Manly pretty, huh?” He chuckles.

I nod my head and state a little too loudly, “Yup. I wanna lick you up and down like a popsicle as if I was stuck in the middle of a desert.”

Jonah swallows before closing his eyes. When he opens them, they’re filled with so much heat. We stare at each other, lost in our gaze before Sofia voice breaks the spell.

“Armor, babe, let’s go do that. Now.”

Armor doesn’t say a word. He swoops her up and disappears into the clubhouse. Everyone else follows suit and goes inside. Will takes a few steps and stumbles. Before he hits the ground, Tech rushes forward and slings Will’s arm around his shoulders. I am very drunk right now, but I know I’m not hallucinating when Will’s cheeks turn redder than a tomato. He and Tech share a look I really don’t know the meaning of.

Once we’re inside, all the couples head for their rooms while Tech takes Will out the back door to help him home. When Jonah moves for the back door, I stop him.

“Can I stay with you tonight?”

“Maddy, you’re drunk. I don’t think that’s smart.”

“I know you won’t do anything with me like this, but I just want to spend the night in your arms. Please?”

He nods before giving me a quick peck. He carries me back to his room and lays me on the bed. Opening the dresser, he pulls out a shirt and pair of boxers. He hands them over before walking back out the door. I quickly change into them and shout for him to come back in. Jonah goes into the bathroom and comes back, wearing only a pair of sweatpants. My eyes eat up his ripped abdomen. So much has changed over the years. Jonah was always fit but now he’s like a beefy appetizer that I want to try over and over.

The tattoo on his chest is a nice touch too. He didn’t have any the last time I saw him. After he gets into the bed, he pulls me against him and plants a kiss to my forehead. I rest my head on his chest and wrap my arm around his waist. Nothing has ever felt righter than this.

“Night, Maddy.”

“Night, Jonah.”

Chapter Fourteen

THOR

Having Maddy in my arms was long overdue. It didn’t take her long to fall asleep. Me, on the other hand, stayed up enjoying her strawberry scent. It reminded me of all the times I spent the night at her apartment. While she would sleep, I would stay awake holding her. I don’t know what I did to deserve a second chance with her but I’m not giving her up.

Looking at the clock on my nightstand, I see I don’t have much longer before it’s time for Church. I ease my way out of bed. I don’t want to wake Madison up. The girls were hammered last night. I know she will be feeling like hell when she wakes up. Grabbing my phone off the charger, I send a text to Bear.

Me: Can I get something of Sara’s for Madison? She doesn’t have any clothes here in the clubhouse.

Bear: Sure. Come to my room and get them.

I throw on a shirt and make my way to his room. When I get there, the door swings open, and he hands me a shirt and jeans. He also includes a bottle of women’s bodywash and deodorant. “Thanks, brother,” I tell him as I take the items out of his hands.Bear nods and goes back inside his room. When I return to my room, Madison is stirring awake.

I walk over and take a seat next to her as her eyes flutter open. When the sunlight hits her eyes, she shuts them and winces. “Not feeling so good, huh?” I chuckle.

Maddy groans and lays her arm across her eyes. “That’s a real understatement. How can a night filled with so much fun end with so much misery?” she whines.

I laugh and Maddy winces, then narrows her eyes at me. I throw my hands up in apology and drop a kiss to her forehead. When she sighs, as if everything is right in the world, my heart warms. It’s always been her for me. Nobody will ever compare or come close.

“Come on, Maddy. I got some clothes from Sara. Some coffee will set you right.”

She nods and grabs the clothes. Once she’s inside the shower, I grab my clothes and head for one of the guest bathrooms. By the time I’m dressed and walking back to my room, Maddy’s opening the door as I round the corner.

“Oh, there you are. I didn’t know if I should wait for you.”
