I nod. “Yeah. Campus police will be here soon.”
“Fun time,” she says, laying her helmet by mine.
When I look back at her, she gives me a half-grin as she shrugs her shoulders. “Well, that was interesting.” She pauses, her eyes searching mine. “I love your mom, Lucy, Angie, Jace, and Jayden, but I have to admit, your dad is an asshole.”
I laugh as I nod. “Yeah, sorry about that.”
“No biggie. He won’t keep me from visiting with your mom again; she was awesome.”
I wrap my arms around her waist and kiss her neck. “Thank you for going.”
She threads her fingers through my hair, and I close my eyes as she says, “Thanks for inviting me. I guess my family is next. I can guarantee you that it will be worse than that.”
I chuckle against her skin, nibbling up her jaw before saying, “As long as I’m with you, I’ll endure it.”
When I pull up to look into her eyes, she’s grinning, her eyes bright and inviting. Leaning into her, I kiss her lips softly, but soon our kisses turn demanding. I crave this. Need it. Sliding my hands down her back, I cup her ass and press her closer into me, loving the feeling of her body against mine. Parting, I kiss her top lip before whispering, “Three more days.”
“Till?”
I smile and then open my eyes to find her watching me. “Till I can take you to my room and devour you, woman!”
She laughs as she pushes me away playfully. “No way, not until you ask me to be your girlfriend in a totally cheesy romantic way that I can tell our grandchildren when we’re old and gray.”
I laugh as I nod. “I got you.”
“You better,” she says with a wink and then leans in for a quick kiss. “But I gotta go.”
“What? Stay. Let’s go to bed.”
“With a party going?” she says with a laugh. “No way in hell. I’m dead on my feet.”
“Yeah, I know,” I say, and then I see Rachael with some of the girls from the team. I nod my head toward them. “Rachael and them are here. Wanna come hang out?”
She laughs. “No way. I have to deal with her tomorrow.”
I smile as I kiss her again, and when her arms wrap around my neck, I deepen the kiss, holding her close. We kiss for a little longer until she pulls away. “I gotta go now, or I’ll never go.”
“I’m hoping for the latter,” I say with a wink, and she laughs before kissing my cheek.
“Are you sure you’re okay?”
I shrug. “I’m a little embarrassed, a little pissed,” I admit.
“Don’t be. He didn’t scare me off. I love your family, and I’ve dealt with worse.”
I smile, kissing the side of her mouth. “You shouldn’t have to deal with anything like that.”
“Ah, it’s part of life. There are assholes everywhere. Thankfully, I found a good one.”
She flashes me a grin and kisses me on the cheek before heading to her car. I watch as she throws her bag in and then as she waves at me. “Don’t let it bother you.”
“I’ll try.”
“I’ll call you tomorrow?”
“All right, babe.”
