When we finally pull apart, I can’t help but stare up at her, completely in awe of this beautiful woman. “I will never get enough of you,” I tell her.
She looks down at me, the softest smile resting on her lips. “I know what you mean.”
We sit together for a while until Sophie and Tank barge through the back door. Sophie grabs Dani and yanks her off my lap, demanding she takes her dancing. I watch as she takes off to the makeshift dance floor, shaking her ass just perfectly and making me want to sink my teeth into her creamy skin.
The boys begin to gather around, dragging chairs over and plonking down as we celebrate our win together. I look over to watch my girl dance when a petite body drops into my lap. I go to push the girl off but can’t when her arms lock around my neck. She holds me tight, and I do what I can to get a look at who the hell is sitting on my lap. That spot is reserved for someone else.
“Stop pushing me away you big jerk and give me a hug,” her little voice laughs.
What the hell? It couldn’t be. I focus harder on the person before me, taking in her dark hair and dark eyes that look so much like mine, even though they have a little too much makeup on for my liking.
“Holy fucking shit. Mia?” I beam, relaxing and pulling her in hard against me, not realizing just how much I missed the brat until this very moment. “What the hell are you doing here?”
“I wanted to surprise you, so I came for your game,” she tells me.
“What? How long have you been here? You should have told me. I could have reserved seats,” I tell her.
“Please,” she scoffs, swatting my shoulder. “You know I don’t like all that special attention. I just wanted to see you play. You’ve gotten pretty good since the last time I saw you, Captain,” she smirks.
“Who’s this nice piece of ass, Captain?” Jaxon asks, mimicking Mia’s tone.
Both our heads instantly whip in his direction as Tank murmurs an “Oh fuck,” from beside me.
“The fuck did you say?” I ask, fixing him with a hard glare.
He flinches at my tone but carries on. “You’re already keeping Dani to yourself,” he laughs, then looks at Mia. “Why not share?”
I stand up and hand Mia off to Tank, then I take one big step forward and grab Jaxon by his shirt, yanking him to his feet. “Watch your fucking mouth,” I snap.
“What’s your problem, man?” he questions.
“My problem, Jaxon, is that’s my baby sister you’re talking about,” I snarl.
His eyes widen and flash to Mia for a brief moment before snapping back to mine, clearly taking in our similarities. “Ahh, fuck, man. Shit, I’m sorry,” he says, raising both his hands in surrender. “If I knew I never would—”
“Why don’t you go and get Mia a chick drink like the little bitch you are,” I tell him.
His lips tighten, but he gives a sharp nod as I release my hold on his shirt and he scurries away. I sit back down and Mia makes herself comfortable at my side as she introduces herself to the rest of the boys.
“Fuck, I’ve missed you,” I tell her, pulling her hard against me and squeezing the life out of her. “How’re things back home?”
“Ugh,” she says, pushing me away. “Get off me, you grot,” she laughs, then dives into a recap of life at home, giving me all the details about Mom’s latest boyfriend, who apparently looks like he might actually stick around. As Mia chatters away about school, friends, and the latest fashion trends from her favorite magazine, it has me really missing home.
“Wait, while you’re here,” I start. “I want you to meet someone.”
Her face brightens as she realizes that there’s finally someone in my life that’s worth the introduction. I’ve had casual girlfriends before, but no one I’ve actually wanted to take home. Hell, Dani makes me want to take her home and keep her there.
I get up and drag Mia inside as I search for Dani on the dancefloor, but she’s not there. I move along to the kitchen, then the living room, and even knock on the bathroom door. After finding no trace of her, Sophie or Jared, I get the hint that they aren’t here.
“Sorry, Kid. It looks like she’s gone,” I explain. “When are you heading home? Do you have time tomorrow?”
“I’ve got to leave first thing in the morning. I have time for breakfast if you’re paying.” She smiles and bats her eyelashes at me, knowing that I can’t refuse my baby sister.
“Yeah, okay,” I say, caving to her will yet again. “Let me drive you back to my place. You can stay there tonight.”
