Page 10 of A Game Of Love

“Nothing fucking happened, thank you very much,” I grumble. Not that I didn’t want it to. Trust me, I really fucking did. Having Lilly grind against me like she did, driving me fucking wild as she used me for her pleasure, then having her shatter in my arms as she made me follow her over the edge was by far, to this day, the hottest thing that’s ever happened to me. And I think it’s safe to say I’m officially addicted to the woman.

But I meant what I said. When I’m inside her for the first time, I want to take my time with her, to make every second last. To make her feel so good, she doesn’t know what to do with herself. And that was not going to be in the front seat of my car.

“I’m not sure what you think happened,” Jonas begins. “But I can promise you, it was nothing.”

“You expect me to believe that you two partied all night and are just coming home now?” I raise a brow.

“No. Bee stayed in my room at the hockey house, and I slept on the floor.” He shrugs. “We drank too much, and it didn't make sense to go through all the trouble of getting her home when it was easier to just go upstairs. But...” he drawls out, making it a point to say this next part very clearly. “I locked the door. And I was with her the whole time. No drunk jocks were able to stumble into the room to do anything. And if they happened to, I’d have kicked their asses anyways.”

“Good,” I grumble. “Keep being a good man and all that shit, and maybe I’ll let you date my sister.”

“For fuck’s sake!” Bianca groans. “Would you just go away or something?” she huffs.

“Sure. But he–” I point to Jonas. “Is coming with me.”

“I am?” Joans’s brows raise.

“I was just leaving for the gym. Just because we’re missing a few games doesn’t mean the season’s over. Now, let’s go.”

“Wait?” Bianca stops me as I head towards the elevator. “Seriously, where’s Lilly?”

“In my room,” I tell her, shooting a grin over my shoulder, stepping into the elevator as Jonas joins me. “Expect that to be happening a lot more now.”

Her mouth parts. “You are not stealing my roommate!” she shouts.

“Sorry, baby sis, can’t hear you.” I turn around to face her and press the button and the door slowly closes as I laugh at her pissed-off expression.

“You two are so strange.” Jonas chuckles.

“Thanks.” I grin over at him, then let it fall. “You sure nothing happened between you and Bee?”

He sighs, running a hand through his hair. “Look, I get it. You're her big brother. And despite how much you two fight, you love her. You want what's best for her. But so do I.”

“You love her?” I question, searching his face.

“I do.” He nods slowly. “I’ve loved her for as long as I can remember.”

The elevator door opens, and we step out, heading towards the exit.

“Then why did you date Lilly and not her?”

“I don’t know.” He shrugs. “I love Lilly, but not in that way. She’s my best friend and, honestly, kind of like a sister. And that makes the fact that I dated her seem really weird, but we didn’t do more than kiss a few times. I think we both agreed to date because it was safe. I wanted Bee and was too afraid tosay anything. I was worried she wouldn’t feel the same way and reject me. I didn’t want to ruin our friendship. And Lilly... well, you know why Lilly didn’t feel anything towards me.”

“She told me. Not going to lie, I like the fact that she’s never had any feelings for anyone besides Toby and I. Makes me a little less likely to kick someone's ass. Not impossible because if someone so much as looks at her the wrong way, I will end them.”

“Down, boy,” Jonas teases. “Act like that, and you’re going to get your ass locked up.”

I shrug. “If it means Lilly’s safe, I don’t care.”

As we walk down the path towards the building that holds the gym for the sports team, I soak in the warmth of the sun. With it being late October, it’s starting to get a little colder. Soon, it’s going to be time for coats and warmer clothes.

“So this thing between you and Lilly...”

“You mean my girlfriend?” I correct him.

“Yeah. About that. What about Toby?”

“What about him?” I narrow my eyes.
