Wild About You (Wildcat Hockey, #2)

“Consider it a favor.” He moves over to the passenger side and stops the door with a big hand before Everly closes it. She looks up at her brother. “What?” “I don’t know. Good morning. Have a nice day. Try not to get in trouble.” An amused smile tugs at the corner of his lips. “No promises,” she says, and pulls the door closed.

River shows up as I get the movie ready. He and Everly take seats in the front row with a blanket. I grind my molars. I know the blanket trick. I used it myself many times to cop a feel without getting caught. I go to the thermostat and crank it to eighty-five. His balls will be so sweaty he won’t even think about letting her touch him.

“Break up with your boyfriend, Piper.” “Wha-at?” Her voice breaks on the word.

I invade her space. She doesn’t step back. “I want good things for you too.” “Okay.” A line forms between her brows. I allow myself only to brush my fingers against hers. It’s the smallest contact. Not enough, but still so fucking good. “Break up with him because I’m what’s good for you.”
