From Coast to Coast (Offsides #4)

Alex Are you actually telling me that your dating app name is a name your mom and ex-wife call you? Remy I can’t use Remy or Stone because people might connect the dots. I don’t have a middle name. Alex …………

“You! You come over here looking like that, and your face is all scruffy, and I can’t remember if I shaved my junk when I showered yesterday. It’s a lot to deal with, that’s all I’m saying.” He looks like he wants to laugh, but is pinching his lips together to keep it inside.

Do I like him? What a simple question to have such a complicated answer. Yes, I like him. I like the brown of his tanned skin and the way his wide shoulders taper down to a narrow waist. I like the way he smiles with only half of his mouth and all of his eyes. I like the way he says what he thinks and how he feels, and doesn’t see a problem with spending the night in another man’s bed. I like that he thinks I’m beautiful.

I smile to myself. Nothing could convince Troy of someone’s worthiness faster than Corwin giving them the seal of approval. As far as Troy is concerned, his word is law.
