Page 84 of Love on Ice

“It’s very cute that you are worried about them liking us,” I whisper into her ear.

“They haven’t liked any of the other guys I’ve dated apparently,” she grumbles. “They are going to think it’s weird the two of us are dating, don’t you think?” she asks me.

I shake my head. “No, why would they?”

Harper shrugs her shoulders. “You know, when two of your friends start dating, it’s weird.”

“Never had that before but I’ll take your word for it.”

She lets out a huge sigh. “I’m overthinking this, aren’t I?”

I chuckle. “Yes, but I think it’s kind of endearing, too.” I lean in and kiss her temple. The fact that she wants her friends to like me gives me hope that she might see this as more than a summer fling because I sure as hell know I want to continue after the summer is over.

The driver arrives and picks us up, then makes a stop and picks Sam up from his hotel. Kimberly and her business partner, Camryn, and her sister, Ivy, who is dating Nate’s brother, are staying at their stepfather’s apartment in Paris. I think that is the story Harper explained to me, I wasn’t really listening because she was naked, and I got distracted by her tits.

“Evening team,” Sam says, jumping into the car. We greet him. “Felix, how are you enjoying Paris?”

“Haven’t seen much of it as yet.” My hand squeezes Harper’s.

“What the hell have you been … aah never mind.” He shudders.

“Your sister is taking me out tomorrow for some sightseeing. But the fact you can see the Eiffel Tower from nearly every room of the apartment is amazing,” I explain to him.

“It is a beautiful apartment,” Sam states before turning his attention to his sister. “It’s going to be good seeing Camryn again.”

“I can’t wait. I’ve missed her so much. It’s a shame Nate isn’t in Paris tonight,” she answers.

“He gets in tomorrow, he’s still in Monaco sorting out some things.”

“My stomach is in knots in anticipation. They have to get back together,” Harper says.

“Nate’s worried that it’s not going to happen,” Sam says.

“You know Cam is used to not relying on people,thanks to her mom.Even Kimmy and I have no idea what goes on in her head half the time. But Nate made her so happy.”

“She did the same for Nate. You know he hasn’t slept with anyone since she left. And for Nate that is huge. Don’t think I could,” Sam says. I have no idea what is going on.

“That’s because you’re a dick. Nate is a romantic deep down inside,” Harper teases her brother.

“I can be romantic, too,” Sam argues back.

“Don’t think staying the night is considered romantic.” She huffs at her brother.

“I’m not an asshole, Harper. Jesus.” Sam rolls his eyes at her. “At least I didn’t get busted for getting a blow job at a club.”

“Hey, don’t bring me into this,” I warn him.

“You’re part of the family now, you will be brought into all fights,” Sam says, grinning at me.

“Felix had his heart broken after a long-term relationship. You’ve never even had one,” Harper says, defending me. I give her hand a squeeze.

“And like you have?” Sam pushes back.

“Well, I would have if the men I dated didn’t cheat on me,” she throws back at him. Right. I don’t know if this is going somewhere good.

Thankfully we arrive at the destination before this discussion turns into World War Three, but it does make me miss my sisters. When we step out of the car, there are photographers there, and we pose for a couple of photos before being ushered up in a private elevator to the restaurant.

A beautiful blonde screams and rushes toward Harper and almost barrels her over.
