“I don’t take afternoon naps.” He shook his head and my mouth hung open, and he laughed. “They make me feel groggy and tired afterward.”

“What kind of a person are you?” I whispered shocked and he chuckled, pressing his head on my neck, as he pulled me closer. His stubble tickled my neck and I giggled as I tried to push him away.

He pressed his lips against my skin, gently biting before he licked the area and I breathed out, arching my back a bit.

“The other marks were barely visible,” he said as he looked up at me and I rolled my eyes.

“Do you know how long it takes me to cover them up?” I asked and he grinned, as he bit my chin. Why was he skirting around kissing me?

“Don’t hide them then,” he said and I looked at him as if he was crazy.

“Then people will know that I’m in a relationship. I’m tired of Brian asking me if I’ll be giving him a niece anytime soon.”

Nate barked out a laugh as his hands slipped underneath my sweater, his fingers quickly finding the band of my bra.

“Then we’ll tell them we’re dating when we’re both ready and as for Brian’s niece, that can be arranged,” he whispered huskily as he pressed his face on my chest, bringing his hands forward and cupping my breasts from underneath my sweater.

“Absolutely not, I am not having another kid any time soon.” I pulled away from him and he chuckled as he let go of my breasts. “I want to be married by the time I have another baby,” I said as I pressed my hand on my chest and he smiled as he tilted his head to the side, sitting back on the couch.

“You want me to marry you?” he asked and my eyes widened as I searched his eyes, was he teasing me?

“N-no, that isn’t what I’m saying!” I stuttered, embarrassed and flushed from his expression.Why does he look at me like that?I almost said yes.

“So you don’t want to spend the rest of your life with me?”

“Don’t tease me, Nate,” I warned as I punched his chest and he chuckled as he gathered my wrists in his hands and pressed them against his chest.

“Alright, I won’t tease you for now.” The look in his eye was promising and I squinted my eyes as I watched him smile and finally press his lips on mine. Stealing a slow kiss from my lips, I sighed softly as he pressed my hands harder against his chest. I could feel his heartbeat.

What did he mean byfor now? Was I overthinking things again with him?

“Don’t think too hard. Your head will hurt,” he whispered against my lips before he continued kissing me.

Does Nate also want to get married?

Chapter 25

Nate

“Shouldn’t.” I pressed my lips against hers and she giggled as she wrapped her legs around my waist. “You.”Kiss.“Be.”Kiss.“At practice?” she rushed out and I placed her on the desk as I deepened the kiss.

Ah fuck, I missed this. Her body fit right in my hands and she smelled amazing.

“I’ll go,” I groaned as she pushed me away, trying to stop me from kissing her. “How’s my angel doing today?”

I pressed my lips on her neck and she sighed, angling her head, allowing me to get more coverage.

“I’m a bit tired,” she spoke softly as she clutched my long-sleeve shirt, pulling me closer. “Hug me, please,” she whined and I chuckled as I wrapped my arms around her shoulders, carefully hugging her tighter and she sighed as she melted in my arms.

“What’s making you so tired, hmm?” I asked as I looked down at her, only being able to see the top of her head and she shrugged. “Maybe you should take some time off. You were exhausted during the weekend as well.”

“No, I’ll be fine after I drink some energy juice. It must be PMS,” she said against my chest, and the vibrations of her voice against my body were kind of ticklish. “Buy me chocolate, hmm?”

She softened her eyes and I squinted my eyes as I stared into her blue orbs.

“I don’t think you’re supposed to eat that when you’re on your period,” I said as I remembered an article I once read out of curiosity. There were various kinds of food that were listed that apparently contributed to the pain, and I didn’t want my angel to be in pain.

“But that’s all you can eat,” she murmured as she unwrapped her arms from my waist and lifted her hand, dropping each finger as she made a list of food.
