Kindle Notes & Highlights
“I think I’ve made a mistake by not being more honest with you,” he starts, his voice no more than a husky whisper. I shudder. “About what?” “I like you, Ava. Enough that the sight of you wearing another guy’s clothes makes me see red.”
“Promise me you’ll wear it. I need my girl wearing my jersey in the stands, or I might lose the game.” I arch a brow. “Your girl?” His eyes darken as he takes a step toward me and grips my waist. “Yeah, my girl. I thought I made that clear last night.”
“I’ll be screaming your name in the stands,” I breathe. His grin is pure sin. “Go crazy, baby. It’ll be good practice for later. See you soon.” And then he’s gone.
holds his good arm out in front of him as if waiting for a hug. I shake my head, cautious of showing PDA in front of his family when we’ve only just met, but he just rolls his eyes and gets off the bed, heading right for me. “My body hurts, Ava. Don’t make me beg,” he whispers once he’s standing right in front of me.
I tighten my grip on her waist. “Boyfriend has a nice ring to it.”
But I can promise you right now that no amount of distance will change anything for me. I know that already.”
I palm the back of her head and kiss her, hoping that she’s half as obsessed with me as I am with her. Because if she is, distance doesn’t stand a goddamn chance.
Andre blows her a kiss. “Merry Christmas, Gravy.” Tyler makes a choking noise, drawing everyone’s attention. “Gravy? That’s terrible.”
“I know my son well, Ava. There’s no way he would have brought you to meet me if he didn’t see a future with you, and the way he watches you when he thinks nobody is looking? He couldn’t hide those feelings from me.”
“I know. I’m ready because I love you.”
Yeah, these are my people.
“I would do anything for you, Ava. Including breaking myself before I would ever risk seeing you get hurt again.”
“Yeah, that’s her. That’s my Ava.”
Oakley chuckles. “I love her, what can I say?”
