“Okay, that was the hottest thing I’ve ever seen,” Heath said as he took my hand, and we waved our goodbyes to everyone.
“I played in middle school and high school, but not college. I wasn’t good enough.”
“You were good enough against those college guys.”
I rolled my eyes. “I never played with college dudes when I was in college.”
We let the double meaning slide.
“Well, you’re mine now.”
The way he said it made me let out a shuddering breath and take his hand, letting the sunset dance over us.
“Tonight was nice.”
“Yeah. Good to take a moment.”
“My mom invited you to family dinner. When you’re ready.”
“We can make that happen. Speaking of, our family dinner’s on Thursday if you want to join us.”
I squeezed his hand, trying my best to keep my heart in line.
It wouldn’t be good to blurt out my feelings, not when everything felt so smooth, so nice. I didn’t know what Heath wanted and, frankly, I didn’t know what I wanted. So it would be good to keep my feelings inside for now.
“Just let me know what I need to bring.”
“I know you work long hours,” he began, but I cut him off.
“So do you. I don’t know if I could run a bar.”
“I don’t know if I could run an entire PR arm of a company.”
“Well, good thing we are situated how we are. We’re good at what we do individually.”
“And I guess we’re pretty good when we come together,” Heath said with a wink.
“Nice line.”
“I’ve been practicing them.”
“They better be just for me.”
“You know it.”
We made our way back to his house, and before I knew it, his mouth was on mine.
He was just so potent, so everything.
“Would you like something to drink?” he asked as he pulled away and I tried to catch my breath.
“No, I really just need you.”
I didn’t tell him the depth of that statement, but I had a feeling he could sense it.
We were on the precipice of something, but I didn’t want to go too far. For him to see too much. So I went to my tiptoes and kissed him again.
He picked me up in one quick motion. So damn strong. It made me feel small and taken care of.
