An uncontainable smile spreads across my face. “It’s either the ribbon or you, Sunshine. Take your pick.”
She rolls her eyes, but the smile on her face betrays her true feelings. “Fine. You can have my ribbon.” Her eyes shine with mischief. “Do I get something else in return?”
My smirk can’t be contained when she’s looking at me like this. “What do you want?”
Her fingers dig into my back like she thinks I’ll run away. She couldn’t be more wrong. “A date.”
“You’re supposed to wait formeto askyou.”
She just shrugs. “I’m trying this new thing where I just take what I want. How am I doing so far?”
I pull her in for another kiss as I whisper against her lips, “It looks good on you. It really does.”

THE BENCH WARMERS GROUP CHAT
Dax
So, Cap, why were you grinning like a hyena when you came back in from getting your wallet last night?
Mace
Isn’t it obvious?
Dax
Obviously not…
Mace
Cap got kissed last night.
Dax
And you know this, how?
Mace
Again, obvious…
Dax

Mace
If Sullivan’s blushing cheeks weren’t enough of a tell, Cap’s death grip on her hand for the rest of dinner should have been a dead giveaway.
Dax
THEY WERE HOLDING HANDS?!
