It’s just them. And their mouths, hands, and warmth.

I come apart all at once—body jerking and a soft sound escaping my lips. I shudder and gasp like I’ve run a marathon, and through it all, Caleb kisses me, and Grayson cuddles me from behind. He slowly withdraws his hand but stays tucked up close behind me.

He holds me like he doesn’t want to let go.

Eventually, he exhales against the back of my neck, pressing one last kiss there.

Caleb kisses my forehead. “Sleep, pretty girl. Game tomorrow.”

I nod, curling closer, and let the sound of his heartbeat lull me down.

But sleep doesn’t come easily.

Because my thoughts are spinning. My body’s buzzing. And I’m pretty sure my heart is already way too invested.

Chapter Thirty-One

Rilee

The light through the hotel curtains is soft and gray, barely breaking through, but it’s enough to tug me out of sleep.

The first thing I notice?

Warmth.

The second?

Arms.

I blink my eyes open slowly and realize I’m being held. Not loosely. Not casually.

Tightly.

Grayson’s behind me, one arm wrapped snug around my waist, the other tucked under my head like a pillow. My back is pressed to his chest. His body molds around mine like we were made to fit this way.

And he’s still asleep.

I stay still, heart thudding softly, taking in the quiet rise and fall of his chest against my back. The soft brush of his breath at the base of my neck. The weight of his hand splayed over my stomach.

He cuddles like it’s instinct. Like I’m his favorite stuffed animal and he’s never letting me go.

And I… kind of love it.

I shift slightly, just enough to glance over my shoulder. His eyes are still closed, but his brow twitches—like he’s waking up.

And then—

“Morning,” he murmurs, voice low and rough with sleep.

“Morning,” I whisper back.

He blinks slowly, like it’s taking him a second to catch up to reality.

His arms don’t move.

“You’re really good at the whole human-heating-pad thing,” I say, smiling.

He exhales a soft laugh, still drowsy. “You didn’t push me away.”
