“I know. I’ll drive you. Come on.” I hold my hand out for her and she takes it with ease.

The drive home is quiet. I have so many things on my mind, plans I’m making, wishes I’m wishing, that I’m lost in my head. When we pull into the parking lot of her building, and I turn off the truck, I glance over to see her watching me.

“What you did today, Coop, I know it was meant to be for the kids, but it meant so much to me. The fact that you listen to me when I talk, that you took action to make a memory for those twelve boys that they will never forget…. It’s a day I will never forget.”

“I didn’t do it just for them. I did it for you too. I know them being cooped up weighs heavy on your mind. I know you were worried about them not getting to experience life. It was something small I could do for you and for them.”

“It was perfect,” she says, covering a yawn.

“Come on. Let’s get you to bed,” I say as she reaches for her handle to climb out of my truck.

“I need a shower.” She yawns again as we enter her apartment.

“Me too.” Is it too much to hope she’ll ask me to join her?

“I’ll make it quick,” she says, moving down the hall.

I guess I got my answer. Making sure the door is locked, I go to my room, the one I no longer sleep in and strip down to my underwear, grabbing a clean pair to sleep in. Walking across the hall, I plug my phone in to charge and then head back to the living room to grab hers and do the same thing. All while, I’m trying to ignore the fact she’s naked and wet just behind the bathroom door. I stand outside the door, tempted to join her, but think better of it. The water shuts off, and I high tail it back to her room, so I’m not busted creeping outside the bathroom door.

“All yours,” she announces.

I look up to find her hair up in a towel, and another wrapped around her body. All that separates me from her is one piece of thick cotton. My cock begins to harden just thinking about seeing her like that again.

“Coop,” she says, waving her hand in my face. I blink and look up at her. She’s now standing in front of me. “You okay?”

“No,” I manage to croak out. I see the worry on her face, so I grab her hand and place it over my now rock-hard erection. “This is what you do to me.”

“Oh.” Her eyes widen, but I see heat there.

“Oh, is right. I’m going to shower. Please be dressed when I get back.”

“Or what?”

“Or I might have to sleep in my room in order to keep my hands off you.” She nods, but I can see what my words do to her. Her chest is rising and falling as if it’s hard for her to take a breath, and her tongue peeks out to lick her lips. I stand and step around her. “I love you, baby, but you’re too fucking tempting,” I say as I rush down the hall to take a cold shower.

Chapter 16

Reese

“Are we there yet?” I tease Cooper.

“No.” He squeezes my thigh, where his hand has been resting the majority of this trip. “We’re going to meet with my agent at the stadium to sign the contracts, and then we’ll head to my condo.”

“Are you excited about your deals?”

“As excited as a man can be to have pictures taken of him in his underwear.” He laughs.

“Should I be jealous? The women of the world are going to be ogling you.”

“No. There is nothing for you to be jealous about. Besides, you’re the only one who gets to see what’s underneath.”

“I don’t know. Have you seen some of those underwear commercials?” I ask him.

“Yes, and trust me, there is nothing to worry about.”

“So, what else is on the agenda for this weekend?”

“Nothing really. I just want to spend time with you. I thought I could show you around the city a little bit. You’ll get to see the stadium today.”

“Do you like it here?”

He shrugs, keeping his eyes on the road. “Honestly, I’m not really sure. Last year was hard for me. I didn’t really let myself take it all in.”

“What do you mean?”

“I missed you, Reese. It was hard, and I spent a lot of my time brooding because of it. I got close to a couple of guys on the team, but for the most part, I stayed to myself. I didn’t go out with them, unless it was at one of their houses. I just… wasn’t feeling any of it without you being there with me.”
