Chapter 15

Geoff looked so sincere, sitting on Avery’s couch in his dark jeans and a button-down shirt, asking her for something more. His eyebrows drew together with the question, his voice so vulnerable and full of hope. Avery’s heart leaped at the offer he held out to her, and the memory of every kiss with him stirred in her belly.

He wanted her.

He more than wanted her.

Her mind flashed back to all the little moments with him—those kisses, his arms around her to protect her from the crowd at the Sounders game, the look on his face when she’d flirted with the guy at the kayak rental stand.

He wasn’t indifferent. He was jealous.

How could she have been so stupid?

“Are you sure?” she asked him with trembling lips. “Because there are probably a lot of girls out there who actually say the right thing at the right time. Unlike babbling when they’re nervous. Which is what I’m doing now.”

Oh, god, she was going to blow this.

Geoff just grinned. “You’re perfect, Avery. And I love your mouth, no matter what it’s saying.” She snorted, and his smile widened. “I especially love it when it’s calling my name. So what do you say, Cheese Girl? Yes or no?”

She smiled up at him. “Yes, Rock, yes. I really, really want this.”

Geoff’s features softened with relief, and he pulled her against him. Avery’s hand landed over his heart, and his strong arms banded around her back. “God, Ave, you have no idea how much I wanted to hear that.” He slanted his mouth over hers and pulled her so close she could feel his heart hammering in his chest, matching the beat of her own.

In Seattle it rained all the time, but real, huge thunderstorms—the kind with lightning and big, black clouds—were rare. This kiss felt like thunder rumbling before a summer storm, like the sky was going to break open and bring all the rain and relief that the world needed.

Avery leaned into Geoff’s touch and moaned against him, opening her mouth and letting him in. Her mouth was cold from the ice cream, but he filled it with heat, his tongue demanding and dangerous as it explored hers. She let her eyes fall closed, shutting out the world and all the stupid reasons she’d run away from him before. He was here now, and for whatever reason, he’d picked her.

She wasn’t going to walk away again.

Geoff deepened the kiss, controlling it while he tangled a hand in her hair. He guided her backward gently until she was spread on her couch, hot and needy. Avery hadn’t worn a bra tonight, and her nipples tightened under her tank top. His eyes skimmed over them, landing on her face with a reverent look that made her feel desired and cherished at the same time.

“I like those glasses,” he whispered. “But we should probably take them off.”

“Mmm,” she agreed. “Probably.” She slipped them from her face and placed them on her side table, then brought her gaze back to Geoff.
