“Sorry.”I chuckle, shrugging.
“Wedon’t need a set up. I’d love to take you out, sexy.”
“Toolate. I know your real name. It’d never work.” They continue their good-naturedargument as Sadie drags him outside.
Idon’t know what to say to Dare. I need to apologize since I accused him ofsomething he didn’t do, but that doesn’t mean I’m going to jump back into bedwith him. If there’s one thing I’ve learned over the past few days it’s that Ilike him way too much. I’ve never been so jealous over a guy, and if I continuewith him, I’m afraid I’m going to get hurt.
Heapproaches me and his hands land on my hips. “You were so beautiful out there.I didn’t know you could dance like that.”
“Ididn’t think anyone was watching.” I peek up at him. “I’m sorry I accused youof lying and…screwing around. I realize it’s none of my business who you’reseeing. We didn’t make any promises to each other.”
“Bullshit.I said you were mine. Maybe I need to make this a little clearer.” His lipstake mine, his hands cupping my cheeks, and he angles my face just right beforeslipping his tongue between my lips. His kiss is anything but gentle, and myhands fist in his hair as I give him back everything he’s giving me.
Hiseyes are heated when we break apart. “You’re mine and I’ll trample anyone whogets in my way, including you. Understand?”
I’vejust been claimed by a kiss that left me speechless, and I’ve never been soturned on in my life, but I manage a response. “That goes for you too, then. Noother women.”
Sweepingme into his arms, he grabs my bag and heads for the door. “I don’t need anyoneelse.”
WhenI see where he’s heading, I laugh. “Dare! I’m still in my leotard. I need tochange.”
“Noway. I want you just like this. Sexiest fucking thing I’ve ever seen.”
Hepauses for me to lock the door, but doesn’t put me down. “My car,” I point outwhen he puts me in his passenger seat.
“Justuscan bring it. Least the fucker could do.”
“Youwere so mad at him.”
“Darlin’you have no idea.”

Darerolls over and grins at me from my bed as I pull a sweater from the closet.“Are you going to the studio today?”
God,that man looks good in my bed. It’s been three weeks since we officially gottogether. You’d think after spending every spare moment with him, I’d beaccustomed to his gorgeous face and lickable body, but I’m still stunned by it,and the fact he’s mine.
“No,no lessons today. Lisa closed the school. We got six more inches of snowovernight.”
“Perfect,I have an idea,” he says, grabbing his phone.
Ratherthan listen in, I head to the shower. A glance in the mirror has me shaking myhead. I have a small hickey on my neck, and a larger one on my breast. My chestand thighs are splotchy from the scruff on his face. This man is a monster andI love every minute of it. I never used to go for the bad boy type, but damn Isee the allure now.
Darebarges in the bathroom while I’m drying my hair. He’s fully dressed in darkjeans and a hoodie. “I have to go work with the guys for a few hours, but Iwant to take you somewhere when I get back.”
“Where?”
“SuicideHill.”
Hegrabs my hips and buries his nose in my hair, sniffing, as I ask, “Are weoffing ourselves?”
“Fuck,darlin’, you smell good. I have to get out of here before I take you again.”
Giggling,I step back. “Focus, horndog. What is Suicide Hill?”
“It’sa massive hill on a golf course. We’ve got plenty of snow for sledding, and it’snot far away.”
“Youwant to go sledding?”
