The Guy on the Right (The Underdogs, #1)

“You look so beautiful,” I join her where she waits for me. Her breath hitches. “I know you meant that. I felt it.” “Good.”

“You flirtin’ with me, Houseman?” “I might be.”

She lifts to her toes and presses a kiss to my cheek. “You keep doing that,” I say, my voice coated in whiskey and arousal. “You keep letting me.” I lean down and kiss her cheek before slowly pulling away. Her eyes widen before she smiles. “What was that for?” “Existing.”

“You’re something else, Houseman.” “You’re everything else.”

Every once in a while, I’d catch her looking at me, and wordlessly bring her to me for a kiss, because I knew without a doubt, when she looked at me that way, she was with me, and I’d made my place with her. It was the best week of my life.

“Good God, man, did you buy the whole flower shop?!” “I asked for one of each.” “So I could finally decide on one?” “No,” he leans in pressing a gentle kiss to my lips, “so you could have them all.”

“I think about you all the time. If I’m reading, I think about what you might think of the book. If I’m driving, I wonder what you’ll think of the song playing. I want in that head of yours so bad, all the time.” “I’m crazy about you, too.”

“You’ll wait for me?” “I waited for the wrong girl for years. I think I can handle waiting a few months for the right one.”
