I pull her into my chest, wrapping my arms around her lower back, overwhelmed by how completely right she feels there. “I want to spend time with you. So I figure I better start learning about all of your nerdy shit so you’re not leaving me alone whenever you go to comic-con or whatever.”

Her eyes are suspiciously wet but she’s grinning ear to ear. “Does that mean you’re going to watchRaider of Galaxieswith me?”

“Um, I kind of have a confession.” I press a kiss to her lips, then another, just because she’s here and I can. “I’ve been watching that show all week.”

She gasps. “You have not.”

I nod, my expression solemn. “I really missed you, and having that crap on made me feel closer to you.”

“Aw, Will,” she laughs. “You’re a big old softie, aren’t you?”

I sigh. “Only where you’re concerned.”

“You know what I think?” This time she kisses me, and I’m reluctant to let her go when she pulls away. “I think you secretly loveRaider of Galaxies.”

I laugh, slinging an arm around her and begin to walk back up the sand toward the house—where I can just make out the shape of Marissa sitting on her patio, watching us, just like Eva predicted.

“Will it help me get laid later if I admit to liking it?”

She snorts. “Buddy, you’re about to play a six-hour-long role-playing game with me and all my dorky friends just to make me happy—you’re going to get laid tonight.”

“Hell yes,” I say, then stop in my tracks. “Hang on, did you say six hours?”

She grins and she’s so damn cute when she’s teasing me. “Yup. And it’s too late to take it back because you love me.”

I grin down at her, amazed my body can contain this much happiness. “Damn right I do.”
