Now he just had to hope that it would last.

“Yeah.” Felix leaned in to kiss him again.

They lay there for a while, bodies cooling, trading more lazy kisses and soft caresses until Jonah grew uncomfortable with the spent condom still on.

“Okay. Gotta get up,” he muttered as much to himself as to Felix. “Gotta take care of you.”

“You always take care of me, Jo,” Felix murmured sleepily.

And Jonah had to breathe through the emotion welling up in him and threatening to spill out.

CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN

It was nearly lunch by the time they emerged from the bedroom.

Felix felt incredible.

He’d gotten some great sleep, had sex with Jonah, and the team had two wins under their belt. Life was good.

When they ventured downstairs, they found Grandma Ji-min sitting in a comfortable chair on the deck, sipping tea and reading.

“Did you get some good sleep?” she asked with a soft smile that showed no hint that she’d overheard them. Felix had a vague memory of Jonah reminding him to be quiet but he wasn’t sure if he’d managed that or not.

Jonah grinned. “Yes. Thanks for ordering us to sleep in. I know I needed it.” He leaned in and kissed her cheek.

“Missed you, Grandma Ji-min,” Felix said, doing the same. Her skin was soft and she smelled of the light floral perfume she’d always worn.

Her expression softened. “Missed you too. Although it looks like you had a nice time together in Montreal.”

Felix laughed. “Were you following us on Instagram?”

“Of course!” She grinned. “And on JockGossip. This morning they’re analyzing all of the looks you gave each other on the bench in the past few games.”

Jonah let out a pained groan.

“But you must be starving.” She set her book aside. “Let me heat up some leftovers. The SAPs brought me more food than I can begin to eat.”

“Thanks but I’ve got it,” Jonah said. “Felix, you keep her from getting up.”

“I’m on it,” Felix said, plunking down into the chair next to Grandma Ji-min and wincing at the sudden jolt to a very sensitive part of his body. Okay, so he could definitely still feel the tenderness where Jonah had fucked him.

Hopefully she’d assume his expression was due to game-related soreness though.

Felix’s ass didn’t hurt or anything and he wasn’t unfamiliar with the “just been fucked” sensation. But Jonah was a lot thicker than anything he’d taken in the past and it had been so long he’d forgotten what that tender awareness felt like.

It was good. He liked it. It made his skin heat when he remembered Jonah thrusting inside him. And his face … God, the look in his eyes as he pushed into Felix. The soft expression after he came … Felix would never forget those things either.

“So, what have you been up to since we’ve been gone?” Felix asked, attempting to focus his attention on Grandma Ji-min. “Other than stalking the gossip blogs.”

She shot him a mildly disgusted look. “Well, not as much as I’d like. No one is letting me have any fun.”

Felix laughed. “Yeah?”

She gestured to the garden. “I need to be out there weeding and tending to my flowers and plants.”

“Jonah and I will help,” Felix promised.

She scoffed. “You’re busy with playoffs. That’s what you should be focused on. Besides, you’re a newly engaged couple. You should be having fun together, not hanging out with an old lady.”
