“Just kiss me, Rookie.”

RYAN
She’s warm and soft and everything.
The number of times I’ve imagined Sierra in my arms over the last twelve months is beyond comprehension.
My hands slip under her top to find her waist.
I want this so damn much. The feel of her, the taste, the sound.
My mouth slants across hers. She moans under me, and it lights me the fuck up.
The entire weekend has been a rehearsal for this moment. Adrenaline and desire pound in my veins. It’s better than a playoff game.
The stakes have never been higher.
Her hands slide up my chest. She’s confident, assured. Not trying to seduce or playing a part but genuinely wanting, and I swear I’ve never been touched like this.
I never want to be touched in any way that’s not like this.
I start to scoop her up into my arms, but my head hits the roof. “Fuck,” I curse, dropping both of us to the floor.
She’s laughing at me. “You’re a masochist.”
“I’m not. If I bleed one more time…”
“Tonight’s over?” she supplies.
I roll onto my back and look up at her, grinning from either the concussion or her.
Yeah, I’m not calling that bluff.
“Let’s try that again.” Her fingers thread through mine, and she tugs me toward the bed.
Hallelujah.
Her robe falls wide, exposing her thin sleep shirt.
“No shorts?” I say.
“You tell me.”
She’s so beautiful, her chest rising and falling with her breath, her hair loose around her shoulders.
Fuck, I’m so hard for this girl. If I had enough brain cells left to be embarrassed, I would be.
The twinkling lights dance across her face, which is bright with desire as she reaches for me. Her fingers trail across my pecs, down my abs.
“You’re really hot.” She says it as though it’s wildly inconvenient. “You probably get that a lot.”
“I can’t remember,” I say honestly. Because somehow, all that matters right now is this. Here. With her.
I bend toward her, my lips claiming hers for countless minutes. Her skin is warm and smells like heaven. I need more. Need to taste all of her.
“Only had one problem with the time we hooked up,” I murmur against her mouth.
