“Really good job,” Fallon adds.
“Well, hot damn,” Harper laughs. “Claire got herself a hottie, huh?”
“If I were ten years younger and not married to the hottest man in the world, I would be hollering for sure,” Elli says, and all I can do is turn beet red because I know Jude hears them.
“Ooooo, Phillip is going to hate him even more now. That motorcycle is trouble,” Reese mutters as Jude heads toward us, looking confident as always and so freaking hot.
His eyes are locked on me and I freaking love that, but I know what Reese says is true. Phillip is going to hate every single thing about Jude.
The only problem is…I don’t care.
Chapter 24
Jude
Man, Claire looks hot.
Even with the eyes of five beautiful ladies on me, I can’t take my eyes off her. She’s stunning, and I can’t believe that I’m lucky enough to have her waiting for me. Placing my helmet down next to hers, I head toward her, my eyes locked with hers. She’s all polished and glossed up, looking spectacular in a skirt that shows off those great legs she has. The same legs I want wrapped around my waist, and you better believe I’m counting down the seconds until that moment.
Don’t get me wrong, I love being with this girl, and I know this is not solely about sex, but I’m really going to love it when I can bury myself deep inside her without any rules or restrictions. The last six days have wreaked havoc on my control. Ever since I watched her come undone without me doing anything to her but watching, I’m constantly thinking of doing just that to her. I want the chance to make her come, to make her whisper or scream my name, but most of all I want to hear her say she loves me.
It’s crazy, but I think I love her.
The last six days I’ve been immersed in her. I’ve learned everything and enjoyed every second of it. I don’t get bored with her. I don’t wish I was anywhere else; I just want to be with her. I never thought I could miss someone every second of the day, but with her, I do. I miss her constantly and wonder what she’s doing at all times. I keep my phone close just in the hope she’ll text me. I’ve become one of those pathetic guys who live and breathe their girl, and I have no fucking problem with it.
I just want to hear those three words.
I need to hear them. I just don’t want to rush things, but every time she locks me in that intense, lusty gaze of hers, I feel like I’m losing my balance and falling hard against the ice. She knocks me on my ass every time, and I can’t help but enjoy it. She makes it hard to breathe, especially now as she heads down the stairs, a sneaky little grin on her face. When she stops in front of me, I take ahold of her waist and smile.
“You look really good, babe,” I say, leaning in for a quick kiss. “Superhot.”
She giggles against my lips before parting to say, “So do you.”
She then turns to the ladies who are currently checking me out. I remember Reese, but everyone else I’m curious about. I feel like they are checking me out but also sizing me up the way Reese is. It makes me nervous, but thankfully, Claire introduces us.
“Okay, well, this is Jude. Jude, these are my aunts: Elli, you remember Reese, Piper, Fallon, Harper, and Audrey.”
“Nice to meet you fine ladies,” I say with my lady-killing smile and all of them blush a deeper red before saying the same.
“Okay, well, we’re gonna go,” Claire says, lacing her fingers with mine.
“Where to?” Reese asks.
“I’m meeting his family,” she says and everyone looks as if they want to throw a party.
“That’s wonderful!” One of them says, I think Elli, maybe? She looks superfamiliar. Not sure where I know her from, but I’m sure I know her from somewhere. “We should have you over for dinner with everyone, Jude. It will be fun!”
“Sure,” I say. “That would be great.”
I’m not sure how Claire feels about that, but soon I see that she does not agree.
“Hell no, I am not bringing him into a firing squad of hockey players. Knowing them, they’ll tie him up and shoot pucks at him! No way!”
“Huh?” I ask.
“I told you Phillip plays for the Assassins. Elli’s the owner and her husband is Shea Adler, and then the rest of them are all married to players, and no freaking way. I won’t subject you to that.”
That’s where I know her from! Holy crap, now I’m starstruck.
