“Do you want to grab something on the way, or do you want to stop?” he asks me, getting into the Yukon truck that is waiting for us.
“I just want to get home to my babies.” I wink at him, and he just shakes his head. I look out the window while he goes nuts on his phone, and when we pull up to the house, I don’t wait for him to open the door for me. I take charge and almost run to the door. “You really need to get the automatic door opener,” I yell at him as he walks to me scowling.
“You always wait for me to open your door,” he says, rolling my luggage and carrying my purse.
“Just open the door,” I tell him, jumping. “Lilo.” I say her name and hear her crying and barking.
“Calm down,” he says, sticking the key and opening the door.
“Hey, my baby girl,” I say, squatting down, and she comes to me and licks my face. She’s so excited, she goes in circles and then comes back. “Oh come on, my boy,” I say, and they both come to me, knocking me off my feet, and I fall on my bum.
“Enough,” Evan yells, and then I see someone coming with two boxes of pizza. “Food is here.” He picks me up from the floor and then grabs the pizza. I grab the suitcase, and we walk inside the house, the dogs following me the whole way. “Put your bag in my room this time.”
“Really?” I look over my shoulder. “You were going to break up with me less than twelve hours ago.”
“Yeah.” He smiles. “But you love me so …” He kisses my neck, and Lilo barks at him. “I will share her, but she’s mine.”
I shake my head and walk to his room, dumping my bag in there and going to find my man.
Chapter Twenty-Four
Evan
I was going to walk away from her. I was going to cut my losses and move on. It was going to be hard, but I wouldn’t be second prize. But when she stood there and gave me everything, my heart that was breaking filled so hard and so fast, I thought it was going to explode in my chest. I love her with everything I have. I love her like I have loved no other.
That moment you see the person who owns your heart, who can destroy you. Knowing that without her, you are going to be half the man you should be. Knowing that only with her, your heart beats normal; knowing that only with her, everything is going to be okay.
Seeing her standing in my kitchen, grabbing a water bottle while eating a slice of pizza with Lilo following her everywhere, I know that this is it. She’s the one I’ve been waiting for. “What are you thinking about?” she asks me, sitting down in front of me. “What’s going on?
“I’m thinking about you,” I tell her honestly. “Thinking that you here in my kitchen with me.” I take a sip of her water. “I got really lucky.”
She tilts her head to the side. “You did get lucky.” She smiles, grabbing another bite of her pizza. “But you are about to get a whole lot luckier.”
“Really?” I ask, trying not to smirk. “How lucky are we talking about here?” Right here is another reason I love her. She can be serious and then just turn it around and make it funny.
“I’m talking about even better than a hat trick,” she tells me, and I laugh because I know she has no idea what she is talking about when it comes to hockey.
“I mean, a hat trick is pretty incredible,” I tell her. “I’ve had the privilege to have four in my career, and it’s pretty hard to beat that.”
“Really?” she says, chewing. “What about me spread eagle on your bed?” My throat starts to close up, thinking of her.
“Naked obviously.” I don’t take another bite. I just watch her as she bites another piece of pizza and licks the sauce off the side of her mouth.
“With one hand playing with myself.” My cock hardens with this picture in my mind.
“Getting myself primed and ready for you.” She even squirms in her chair.
“Do you think that could be better than a hat trick?”
“I mean, I would have to experience it to fully render my decision,” I tell her, and she just smiles. “I don’t think it’s fair to make a half-ass choice.”
She pushes away from the table. “Give me twenty and then come in the room.”
“Twenty?” I ask her. “Minutes or seconds?”
She throws her head back and laughs. “Minutes. I want to take a quick shower, and then I should be good to go.” She turns and walks out of the room with Lilo at her side.
