Caught Stealing (Leighton U, #2)

by C.E. Ricci

I watch after Phoenix far longer than I should—waiting for my equilibrium to return—only to find him smiling and laughing with his teammates the second he joins them. Like he’s a normal guy for once, instead of the anti-social, cock-blocking demon who has been making my life hell these past few weeks.

I want him. And while that fact also makes me want to drown him, it’s still true.

“What happened this morning to make him so pissed at you?” You mean besides him spending the night fucking me clear into next week, only to wake up with a head full of regrets?

“I’m just glad your eyes finally match your mouth.” “Because I meant it, Holden.” His eyes dart between mine. “Until the day you decide you don’t want me, I’m yours.”

“You fuck me up, Nix,” he murmurs, his lips brushing mine with every word. I smile against his mouth. “I know, baby. You fuck me up, too.”
