“Come to my game tonight.” The words come straight from my heart and tumble out faster than my brain can comprehend with only one goal in mind: Keep showing her how things could be and maybe she’ll stay.

Then I remember she’s not feeling the best. “I mean, you don’t have to if you’re not feeling up to it.”

“I’m fine,” she reassures me. “Are you sure you wouldn’t rather have the orgasm I offered?”

My jaw drops.

“Fuck, love.” Who is this woman, and what has she done with my Juliet? Is this what love and orgasms do to her? If so, then sign me up for life.

“I like it when you call me that,” she whispers like it’s a secret no one but me is allowed to know.

I raise a brow and lean in, hovering so my lips are a hair's breadth away from hers. “Do you now?”

Her tongue darts out, and I can feel the heat of her mouth skirting mine when she nods. “It makes me feel important.”

“You are important.”You’re everything.

“Then I’ll come to your game,” she says, placing her hands on my chest.

“Are you sure?” My gaze drops and traces the red splotches on her knuckles.

“It’s not as bad as before. Especially if I relax from now until then.”

I narrow my gaze, silently letting her know if she’s lying there will be hell to pay.

“I promise, Ford. I want to come to your game tonight.”

Wants.

She wants to be there.

“Fine.” I dart my tongue out, teasing her lower lip. “And if I win, maybe you’ll come tonight.”

Juliet shakes her head. “I think it’s your turn.”

“I guess I better win then.”

“Good luck with that.”

I steal a kiss and seal the deal.

But I won’t need luck.

Not when she’s there.

CHAPTER THIRTY-SEVEN

JULIET

What was I thinking agreeing to go to Ford’s game?

I wasn’t.

It’s a problem I’m having more and more when it comes to him.

Ever since he coached me through that first orgasm, it’s like I forget who I am when he speaks. I agree to things I wouldn’t usually and say things that are off the cuff and downright dirty.

And don’t get me started on his mouth and all the things he can do with it. I didn’t know what I didn’t know.
