„Gwen is great, and he should be so lucky to have her as his girlfriend. But no, his stupid ass always goes for the bimbos. What`s wrong with you men anyway?”
„Hey, I`ve never dated a bimbo in my life. I prefer the classy, intellectual type.”
Apparently, it`s the wrong thing to say because she frowns at me something fierce.
„How nice for you. Now, if you don`t mind, some of us have stuff to do. Let`s go.”
She turns her back on me, and marches-it`s the only way to describe it- to the deli counter while I stand there, not understanding what I said or did wrong.
„This is such a fucked-up day,” I mumble to myself.
„Excuse me?” I hear the older man next to me say.
„I don`t know what I did wrong,” I say, gesturing towards Sophie.
He takes a look at her pissed off face and gives me a pitying smile.
„I`ve been married for forty-two years, my boy, and let me tell you I still don`t know why my Stella gets mad at me sometimes. She`s a sweet-natured woman, but sometimes the devil likes to take a vacation in her body. I wish you good luck.”
Chapter 6
Sophie
„Can you please change that look on your face, it`s making me uncomfortable.”
Tough shit. I can`t do what Max is asking because I`m still in a hotness induced haze.
I just had the privilege to watch eighteen sweaty, really fit men run around a field in very little clothes.
Is it wrong that I`m objectifying them? Maybe.
Is that going to stop me from doing it? Sadly, no.
We`re in his monster car, going home after his first day back in training, and all I can say is I love my job. Seriously, I`m living the dream. Luckily he`s the one driving because I don`t think I would be safe for me to operate a vehicle at this moment.
„Jesus, they`re just a bunch of men. You have seen men before, haven`t you?”
I turn to look at him with what I`m sure is a disbelieving look on my face.
„A bunch of men? So if you`d just witnessed a bunch of Victoria`s Secret models doing stretches for two hours, you`d be chill and indifferent, right. ”
„Are you seriously comparing my teammates to Victoria`s Secret models?”
„Yes, I am.”
He shakes his head like I`m nuts, and he genuinely seems irritated by my reaction to his teammates.
„Wait a minute, is this because I`m a woman? Does the fact that I have a vagina mean I can`t drool over hot people? Men do it all the time, why can`t women?”
„It`s not because you`re a woman, calm down. It`s just a bit insulting, that`s all.”
„Insulting? To you?”
„Yes.”
„How is it insulting to you? I wasn`t ogling you.”
„Exactly. You never once ogled me.”
That you know of.
„So what`s wrong with me? I'm not ogling worthy?”
„Are you serious right now? Is this for real?”
He doesn't look at me, but I swear he`s pouting and that right there is the cutest thing I`ve ever seen in my life.
„Aw, sunshine, don`t be mad. I swear they mean nothing to me. It`s you I`m going home with, it`s you I`m making lasagna for.”
He turns towards me, a mean glare in his eyes, and I swear I get wet instantly.I may be a tiny bit fucked up.
„One of these days, hobo, you`re gonna go too far, and I`ll snap. It won`t be pretty.”
I smile at him like he`s the cutest little thing ever.
„Nah, you`re just a big ole` teddy bear. I think you`re just hungry. You`re always extra grumpy when you`re hungry.”
He parks the monster next to my Mini, and I hop out of the car and head for the front door. I unlock it and head straight for the kitchen to get lunch started.
He comes in a minute later, and he`s still frowning.
„Come on, sunshine; I thought you were going to be on cloud nine after your first practice. You looked great out there, by the way.”
„How do you know, you weren`t even looking at me. You were way too busy looking at Cruz`s ass to notice anything else.”
„Well, he does have a great ass.”
He looks mean as hell right now, and you don`t want to know the state of my panties. Soaked!
God, I need to see a shrink. This shit ain`t normal. I mean, I don`t even know which one Cruz is, much less what his ass looks like. I enjoyed watching all those guys train, but none of them can compare to my sunshine.
But he doesn't need to know that, especially since riling him up is so much fun.
„I`d be careful if I were you, Sophie.”
His voice comes out all growly like, and if he keeps this up, he has a considerable chance of being attacked by a crazy, horny woman.
And because I`m clearly insane, I go to him and cup his face in my palms and start talking in a baby voice.
„Don`t be grouchy. Who`s my sunshine? Who`s my little sunshine?”
I don`t know what I was expecting to happen, but whatever that was, it wasn`t what followed.
He jerks his face from my hands, grabs me, and proceeds to kiss the ever-loving shit out of me.
It sounds cliche as hell, but I swear I`ve never, in all my twenty-six years, been kissed like this.
You can tell by the way he`s doing it that I`ve succeeded in thoroughly pissing him off, but if the bulge I`m feeling on my hip is what I think it is, then he`s also pretty damn turned on.
At first, I`m a bit passive because he`s taken me by surprise, but it`s not long before I get over it and start devouring him just like he`s devouring me.
It`s all tongue, teeth, and grunts, and I`m not sure if it looks sexy or scary from the outside, but I don`t give a damn because this right here is the single best thing I`ve ever felt in my life.
And because all good things
