Knot My Type (All Access, #1)

He absently pushed his sleeve back to his bicep, simultaneously revealing his tattoos and making him eleventy-billion times hotter.

I'm not sure what it was, but I decided to tease him a little. I lifted one shoulder in a half-shrug. "If this were a date, I might have invited you back to look in my toy drawer." Jay fell back in his seat, his hands pressed to his chest. "Jesus! Low blow, Frankie." I smirked over the rim of my mug. "You walked right into that one." "I did. And I'm regretting my no-date policy."

"Would it be too much to ask if I could get a ride home? I'm keen to see it in action." "You're weird, but because you paid for dessert, I'll forgive you." I jerked a thumb at the passenger

"And those are?" "Triceratops." She cocked an eyebrow. "What, no names?" I shook my head. "Of course not, Frankie. They're triceratops. You don't name them." She burst out laughing, her head tipping back as her delight spilled free. My control snapped. I leaned across the console, cupping her cheek to turn her face to me. Her laughter stuttered, her eyes widening. "Just so we're clear," I murmured gruffly. "This doesn't mean we're on a date." "W-w-what?" I kissed her, and to my fucking horror found she didn't taste like sugar or spice. She tasted like forever.

"Kissing in the driveway of his discount Jurassic Park doesn't count."

Jay lifted his shirt to wipe his face, the move revealing yards of his delicious abdomen. If I lick him that means I own him, right?

I turned my head, losing myself in his eyes. I love you. The words hovered unspoken between us, courage failing me. "Say it," he whispered, his lips close enough to brush mine. "Say what you're thinking." I swallowed, trembling. "I can't." "Then let me." His mouth grazed my lips. "I love you, Frankie."

"Why the fuck would I be meeting your ex?" I patted him on the knee. "Don't worry, he's a nice guy. We still catch up for coffee when he's in town." "I am not emotionally mature enough for this conversation."

"Flo, his expression is what I would call stunned-male-suffering-from-idiotic-self-realization," Annie said, watching me.
