“Do you like the outfit?” He grins at me.
“I do. The tank top is cute. You have good taste for a man,” I tease.
“I guess I do, that’s why I have you,” he laughs as he grabs me in a bear hug, me squealing and laughing.
“Yeah, you’ve had me,” I smirk.
“We can go again if you want. I can have you again and again and again,” he kisses my neck, laughing.
“Slow down, cowboy,” I snort.
He laughs, “We can take all the time you need.”
And I blush. Again. See what he does to me?
He kisses me on the cheek and sets me back down, throwing on a fitted black t-shirt and his converse. Casual, yet sexy.
“I invited the guys from the gym to come along today. The ones that are close, one of them you haven’t met yet. I didn’t want Thorn to feel like a third wheel.”
“I’m sure he will appreciate that. Where are we going?” I know already but just want to see if he will break.
“It’s a surprise,” he smiles at me as I roll my eyes.
I’m sure by now he knows I know.
We pass the kitchen and head out to the garage, Thorn falling in step.
“We aren’t taking the Escalade?” It’s the SUV he usually drives.
“Not today,” he says as he unlocks a huge Expedition, “we’re picking up the guys.”
“How many cars do you have?”
“Four,” he answers right away.
“Wow. I have one and it’s a piece of junk compared to yours,” I say. “I need to get a new one or a new used one, but I have to save my tips. It will take me a while.”
A look passes between Thorn and Kingston, I don’t know what it means so I brush it off for now.
“You can always borrow mine if you want,” he says, helping me into the huge SUV.
“Uumm, I don’t know.”
“If you want to, you can. No pressure,” he says.
“Okay, thanks,” I say.
We pick the other guys up from the gym. I’m introduced to Dasher. Noelle’s ex.
Interesting.
On the way, he fills us in on how he’s going to win her back. I wish him good luck. She’s a nice girl.
He’s opening a figurine shop and I can’t wait to see what he will have.
I think he picked up Caleb because he’s closer to Thorn’s age, he’s twenty. Holden is 27. Tristan and Dasher are closer to thirty. Tristan and Holden both have a few pro fights under their belts. Thorn is excited to spend time with them.
I watch out the window, taking in the scenery that flies by and then I turn to him and grin as does Thorn.
