“Guess I gotta play well, huh?”

“Mmmhmm. Score a goal for me.”

He laughed. “Just for you, sweet pea.”

I grinned and snuggled down into him as we watched the movie together. I tried not to let the guilt of sneaking around behind my brother get to me as I enjoyed the feeling of being in Matt’s arms. Future Maddie could deal with that later.

Chapter Eighteen

MATT

Waking up to a crick in my neck sucked, but I’d sacrifice my body if I got to keep waking up with her in my arms.

The sex last night was intense, and I had been afraid of hurting her, but she loved being under my control. When she asked about my fantasies, I wasn’t lying, but now, I’d warmed up to the idea of trying different things in the bedroom. With her. I couldn’t wait to find out what other positions she loved or when I could tie her to the bed.

It wasn’t just the sex I loved. Spending the rest of the night watching her favorite cheesy action movie while we cuddled in bed had been perfect. I didn’t need to go to nightclubs or frat parties. I just needed to be with her.

I nuzzled into her neck, breathing in the floral scent of her shampoo while I procrastinated getting up. I could skip morning skate since it was optional, but I needed to give Dinah her car back. I wondered if it had been smart to take her up on the offer of borrowing it.

Maddie made a little noise in her sleep, and I couldn’t help breaking out into a smile. She was so adorable. I kissed her neck. “Sweet pea,” I whispered.

“Hmm.”

“I gotta go.”

Her eyes fluttered open, and she got that crease in her brow when she was thinking. “Oh. You have morning skate.”

“I’ll see you later?”

She chewed on her lip. “After the game? I feel like D and my brother are gonna corner me.”

“Tell them you have to study, and I’ll come over.”

She laughed. “I do have to study.”

“Then I won’t come over.”

She turned in my arms. “No. I want to spend time with you. You dropped all your feelings on me, and then you went on the road for an entire week. I missed you.”

“That’s why we texted non-stop while I was gone. I had to tell you before I went on the road and changed my mind.”

Her mouth turned down into a sad frown. “You were gonna change your mind?”

I ran a hand across the scuff forming on my face. “I don’t like lying to Noah.”

“I’m not ready to tell him. Let me work on it.”

She said that last night, too. I still didn’t like that. Sure, it was fun being naughty together, but I wasn’t good at hiding my feelings. How was I supposed to act around her when her brother was there? Was I supposed to pretend she didn’t exist?

She pushed me onto my back and climbed on top of me. “Let me worry about it.”

I slid my hands up her sides. “Okay.”

She grinned. “I love what we did last night.”

“Yeah?”

She nodded. “Maybe next time we can try a different position? Or you can tie me to the bed.”
