Adorkable

Kaija

“No.” I laugh. The giggles rupturing my stomach are making it hard to run. “Pass back. Your arm movement is all wrong.”

Mack gives me a doubtful frown and tries again, flicking the rugby ball off to the side. He looks awkward, which I find hilarious. The most athletic, gorgeous, coolest guy in school and he can’t even throw a rugby ball.

I race for the ball, catching it on the bounce, and press it into my stomach, bending over so I can laugh a little more.

“Give me a break. I’m used to throwing the ball over my shoulder.” He storms towards me, muttering, “Stupid game. You kiwis don’t know anything.”

I pop up, faking insult, but I can’t pull it off. Red-faced, grumpy-ass Mack is kind of cute. I tip my head, putting on my best smile. “You know you’re completely adorkable when you’re trying to play a real man’s sport, right?”

He stops short, his dry glare making me chuckle. “Adorkable? You did not just say that to me.” He growls and starts running straight at me.

I squeal and throw the ball at him, spinning fast to make a quick escape. He deflects the ball easily and keeps charging, wrapping his arms around me and lifting me up. I yelp and start laughing as he tackles me to the ground, making sure he turns at the last minute so he’s the one hitting the grass first.

I run my fingers down his strong jawline and press my thumb into his deep chin dimple. “We need to work on your tackling too.” I grin before cutting off his argument with my lips.

He lets out a pleasant moan, like he’s tasting chocolate for the first time, and drags his hand up my back. His fingers thread into my hair, cupping the back of my head. I suck his bottom lip into my mouth, hungry for a taste of him. We only shared our first kiss two days ago, but Mack’s lips are like a drug. I promised to teach him rugby this weekend and the reason he’s probably doing so badly is because we keep getting distracted. But how can we not? His mouth was made for mine.

I shift my knee, tucking it between his legs and nestling myself more firmly against his chest. His strong arms anchor me to him, holding me steady, promising to keep me close. I tip my head, delving deeper into his exquisite mouth. My hair slips over my shoulder, cocooning us from the world. I don’t feel the sun’s feeble attempt to break through the clouds. I don’t feel the cold grass threatening to freeze our limbs. Mack’s jacket rustles as he runs his hand down to my hip, splaying his fingers across my jeans and pressing me even closer to him. I flick my tongue against his, warm energy sizzling right through me. I want this moment to last forever.

But good things never do.

The sound of distant voices and laughter jerk us apart. I try to scramble off Mack, but he tightens his hold on me, lifting his head to see who might be coming.
