“Dani, we have an extensive network in place to make sure no one is ever late for a game. When Tony called, I’m not going to lie, I was pissed, but at myself for forgetting to set the alarm. However, there was plenty of time to make the game.”
“So, your comment about doing something stupid, wasn’t about me?”
He cups my cheeks. “Never. The weekend we were together was the best time I’ve ever had.” He frowns. “And then, you broke up with me. I was angry and felt like you used me.”
“Like that would ever happen.” I snort, and my face floods with heat. Way to look like a total dumbass. But, him thinking I would use him and not the other way around is too hard to fathom. I’m the one who’s lucky to be around him.
“Dani, the comment Dillon overheard was just me being a jackass. The only person I want is you. And to be clear, I didn’t, nor do I want to have sex with anyone else. If you don’t want me, I’ll be celibate.”
“Really?” I arch an eyebrow.
“Yes. I’m serious. I went for nearly two years without sex. It’s not a problem.”
I rest my hands on his hips. “So, you want to go for two years without sex, again?”
“Fuck, no.” He shudders. “My hand already has calluses on it from overuse.”
“You’re crazy.” An overwhelming sense of peace floods my body.
“When I saw you helping Dillon, I was jealous.”
“You were jealous?” My heart skips a beat.
“Yes, I saw black and wanted to kick his ass.” His finger rubs over my bottom lip, and my nipples instantly tighten. Don’t get ahead of yourself, little girl.
“It would have been a horrible decision on my part because he’s a fucking beast, but I wasn’t thinking rationally.” His other hand laces through the loose hairs that have escaped from my bun, and he yanks me closer.
The possibility Gunner wants a relationship with me has my heart thundering in my chest.
“Dani, you’re the only woman I want in my life, and I want to be the only man in yours.”
“Okay.” I bite my bottom lip and swallow a giddy scream of joy. We’re in my office, and now that I don’t have to leave, I sure the fuck don’t want to be fired.
His eyes narrow into slits. “Okay? That’s all I get. I spill my guts here, and all I get is an okay?” he growls and tugs me closer until my body is flush against his hard angles.
His cock juts out and nestles against my belly. My clit twitches, and my breath comes out in a loud pant. “That’s all you’re getting – here. We’re in my office. If I’m staying with the team, I don’t want to get fired.”
“You’re not getting fired.” His mouth is inches from mine. “I’m the franchise quarterback. They’re not firing my…” He presses his lips together. “We’ll settle for girlfriend, for now.”
I wrap my arms around his neck and wiggle against his erection. “You think you’re above the law?”
“Doll, the saying about writing checks your ass can’t cash, doesn’t apply to me. I can cash them.”
“Fuck.” I chuckle and stand on my tiptoes. He’s so fucking full of shit, but I love him. Gunner Sinclair’s my boyfriend.
His mouth settles on mine, and he swallows my moan. His arms wrap around me, and he massages my ass as if he can’t get close enough to me. It’s fine. I can’t get close enough to him either.
My fingers drag through his hair and tug on the strands. I want him deep inside me and can barely keep from dragging us both to the floor.
He leans back and smiles. Damn, he’s gorgeous. My heart swells with happiness. When will I believe this is real? Probably never, but I’m finally ready to enjoy the ride.
“You’re turn.”
“My turn?” I wrinkle my nose and give him a saucy grin. “For what?”
“Why did you dump me? Make it good, so I don’t have to put you over my knee and spank your delicious bottom.”
“Maybe I want you to slap my ass.” I bite my bottom lip and quiver. The thought of his hand smacking my flesh is an instant turn on.
