Leeza
I wobble in my skates and grab Rhysâ arm before I face plant. âIâm not very good at this.â
âYouâre doing just fine,â he lies, and I laugh.
âIâm making a fool of myself.â
âNo, youâre not.â
âYouâre right. No one is looking at me when Iâm with you.â
He angles his head, his brow furrowed together as he adjusts his hat. âWhatâs that supposed to mean?â
I laugh and wave my hand, catching the way the women are admiring him and looking at me with envy. No one has ever looked at me with envy before, and while I donât exactly revel in that, I do love the intent way Rhys looks at me, especially when he doesnât think Iâm watching.
âYouâre like a God around this place, loved by everyone,â I inform him, even though Iâm not telling him something he doesnât already know.
An almost sad look comes over his face, and it wraps around my heart. âIâm just me, Leeza.â
This is Rhys Iâm talking to, the sweet guy from the app, not the life of the party Cheddar everyone knows and I strangely find myself falling a little more for him. Why does he keep this side of himself hidden? Iâm not sure, but since last night, since taking me home, heâs been gifting me with insight into the man beneath the jersey, and I donât think heâs putting on a false show for his little brother. I think this is the real Rhys, and I like him a lot.
Maybe thatâs why I absurdly told him not to leave the room while we changed. Holy hell, what was I thinking? Thatâs so unlike me. I think though, thereâs a part of me that really likes his attention, and maybe, just maybe wants to know what it feels like to be touched, kissed by himâto be the sole focus of his desire.
A fine shiver goes through me and he tugs me to him and I almost moan as his big body dwarfs mine, making me feel warm and safe. âAre you cold?â
âMaybe a little,â I fib. Wait, why am I fibbing? Maybe I should just come right out and tell him what he does to me. Thereâs no denying that I want him, and I think he might like me too. Oh right, I know why I canât do that.
Iâm getting close to him to do a story on him.
Ugh, kill me now.
He narrows his eyes. âHey, are you okay?â
I swallow and try to put on a happy face, as his brother, Jesse and a group of girls all skate by and wave to us. âYeah, I am.â
âI think you disappeared for a second there. Something on your mind?â
Oh, if he only knew.
I gesture toward the small kiosk serving up drinks and snacks. âYeah, I was thinking a hot chocolate would be nice.â
He laughs. âLetâs do it.â
His palm leaves the small of my back and captures my hand and as we skate toward the kiosk, Samantha glides by, her gaze going from me to Rhys, back to me again.
