“You do realize that when a guy has to define that difference, he’s usually lying to himself.”
Mac has a natural sexiness that I’d have to be deaf, dumb, and blind not to notice.
I just like her. I really like her. She’s the first person I want to talk to. Every day.”
“You shaved your legs for better massages,” I supply with a wide grin. Lots of athletes do, but it’s kind of cute that he’s embarrassed.
“You always make me feel better, Mac.”
his expression is content and his gaze is on me, as if just looking at me makes him happy.
Mac’s squeals of horror were adorable.
It is a deep, dark secret of mine that, when wanting to get my sexy mojo going, I’ll play SexyBack.
And because Gray is tall as a tree, I can wear heels and not dwarf him. Always a bonus in my world.
It’s ridiculous how much his admiration pleases me.
For a second we just smile at each other, and happiness floods my veins like pink champagne.
“Gray would never damage that car. I mean, he looks so good driving it.”
“Dude, I’ve just been compared to Thor. I totally win.”
“You disagreeing with that assessment, Cupcake?” I ask, grinning. Instantly Gray groans loud and long, and his friends start to choke on their shock.
“Glamour Cupcake. Sounds about right.” “Cuz he’s sweet, pink, and oh, so pretty.”
“You should be an agent, Ivy.
“I like her,” Dex says as the girls leave. “She’s great, isn’t she?”
Ivy is dancing. At least I think she is.
“Man… That’s some impressively bad dancing.”
I brace myself and head out to the dance floor to save my girl.
Gray is a horrible dancer.
Anna, who had been sort of smiling when I was dancing with her, looks at Gray with wide, shocked eyes. Her gaze slides from me to the spectacle he’s making, and then her face breaks into a full-blown grin, as though his craziness makes her happy.
But I always end up back with Gray,
“I love dancing!” He grimaces—the poor guy probably hates dancing since he does it so badly—but then pulls me close. “Then that’s what we’ll do.”
The night becomes a blur, with Gray in its center, laughing with me, dancing with me. And it’s brilliant.
Now there’s a new pattern: football, coursework, Mac, sleep.
Rosebud lips. I’d heard the expression before but didn’t know what it meant until now.
Mac tosses her crust onto the pizza box—and I grab it, not willing to waste perfectly good crust.
God, she’s pretty. So pretty it hurts my heart.
“You better run, Grayson, because in about five seconds I’m gonna have you pinned and begging for mercy.”
“Bring it, Special Sauce.” “Oh, Cupcake, you are so dead.”
Gray is cracking up now, his face red and his eyes tearing. He’s trying to concentrate but he’s laughing too hard.
“You,” I gasp through a laugh, “are such a nerd.” “That was boss and you…”—he snorts—“know it.”
“What is the most classic blunder?” I ask in a haze. His long lashes sweep down on a slow, dazed blink. “I don’t know,” he whispers. “I forgot where I was going with it.”
“It’s not an act. I am an overprotective father, Ivy.”
“Ivy… It might not look like it, but I am always on your side. I don’t want to see you hurt.”
Truth is, astrophysics isn’t my sweet spot, not like quantum mechanics, but I still find it fascinating.
“I’ve been your teammate and friend for four years, Gray-Gray, and I’ve never seen you turn down an opportunity like that.”
Yeah, I know. I’m fucked.
“You mean how he’s hot for Ivy?”
I haven’t touched a girl since I started texting Ivy.
A world without Ivy in it would be like a world without the sun—cold, dark, devoid of gravity.
the truth is Ivy has become a craving in my blood,
“Yeah, only you want her. Which means your game is already in play. Only way to go is forward, man.”
“Look at Mr. Nightly Hookup, trying to play like he’s a saint. Boy, please.”
Drew ducks his head into the crook of Anna’s neck,
Drew pulls Anna close, murmuring something in her ear that makes her smile and rest her head on his shoulder.
“I said I’d take you home.”
I’d rather be comfortable. And it’s just Gray with me now.
I’m pretty sure his butt should be cast in bronze and immortalized for posterity.
