“Use your words, Kamryn.”
“Parts of my body are extremely happy, including my lips.”
“I like your lips.”
“There are twenty-five billion lips on this planet. Are my four your favorites?”
He chuckles. “I think so, but it’s been a few weeks. I’ll need a refresher to make sure.”
“That can be arranged. Which two do you want first?”
He smiles as his mouth meets hers. It starts off innocent enough, but in true Kam and Cheetah fashion, it doesn’t stay that way for long.
Kam said they’re “casually fucking” but she didn’t “casually fuck” anyone else the entire month he’s been gone. That must be a record for her. I wonder if they’re more than she’s letting on.
The over-the-top kiss eventually ends after everyone in the booth catcalls and whistles.
She pulls away, though their faces and bodies remain close together. “I think you were the last to arrive tonight, kitten. You know what that means.”
He grins widely. “I’ve got a good one for you. The clitoris is made up of the same tissue as a penis. It expands and engorges when aroused, so technically women get erections too.”
“That makes sense for what I’m feeling right now.”
He rubs his nose along her cheek. “Let’s get out of here, Kam bam.”
She turns her head to me. “We’re going to take off. Are you okay to get home?”
I nod. “I’ll be fine. Have fun.”
Champ wraps his arm around me. “I’ll get her home. Don’t worry.”
Kam gives him a skeptical look before turning back to me. “Are you good with that?”
“Yep.”
“Okay. I’ll see you tomorrow.”
CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE
TANNER
The past few weeks have been difficult. It’s so hard to see Bailey and have her be cold and distant. She leaves the second I get home. One foot is practically out the door when I step in.
I miss her. It’s got me questioning everything I thought I wanted.
On a happy note, she’s done a great job with the Snakelets. The girls have all improved so much. They’re dominating the league. Surprisingly, Kamryn is a decent coach. She treats the girls like peers, and they seem to enjoy that.
The best part of the games is that they give me the ability to sit and watch Bailey. If not for that, I’d only see her as a blur when she rushes out the door at night.
My heart is aching for her. I miss touching her. I miss talking to her. It was more than physical, and I knew it. I’m such an idiot. I hate myself for hurting her.
Fallon has tried to talk to me a few times about it, but I shut her down. I want to wallow alone in my misery.
My daydreaming is broken up by Layton walking into my office. He and Arizona recently returned from California. Ripley and Quincy had a baby. I didn’t even know they were together. In fact, I’m not sure they are together, but she’s living with him in Philly now as they care for their daughter.
I force a smile. “Hey, bud. I don’t think we have an appointment. Is everything okay?”
He nods. “Yes. I sent over a few swimsuit company contracts for you to review for my wife and me. The offers are pouring in. I don’t know why.”
