a water. He leaned against the wall and smiled devilishly. “Not gonna happen, cupcake.”
“Exactly,” Chance agreed, taking a long gulp of his drink. “He’s turned down every single dirty girl who’s attempted to put the moves on him this past year. They all hate you now.”
“Me?” I gasped.
He nodded. “Can you blame them? You took away one of their conquests.”
I gaped at both of them, but Luke was the one who answered. “The dirty girls are our groupies. They hang around hoping to give us a ride. It gives them bragging rights.”
A spark of jealousy coursed through my veins. “I see.” All traces of my smile were gone.
Luke noticed and rushed over. “You have nothing to worry about, Lara.”
“He’s right,” Chance agreed, nudging me with his elbow. “The boy’s hard up for you. He got pissed at me because I tried talking to you one night.”
Luke glared at him. “You were flirting with her, asshole.”
Chance chuckled. “You guys weren’t official yet. That meant she was free.” He turned to me and waggled his brows. “How about now?”
Luke slapped him hard on the back and dragged him up by his jersey. “She’s all mine, dickwad. Try anything this Saturday and you’ll find your balls wrapped around your neck.”
They both burst out laughing and I breathed a sigh of relief. For a moment there, I thought things were about to get tense. “You see what I have to put up with every day?” Chance joked.
“Must be difficult,” I teased back.
Chance stretched. “I’m headed out for the day. I’ll see you tomorrow.” He and Luke shook hands and then he turned to me and winked. “See ya later, sweetheart.”
I waved as he wheeled his dirt bike out of Luke’s garage. “Bye, Chance.”
Once he was gone, Luke bent down and kissed me. “I’m glad you came by. I figured you’d be working.”
“I will be this afternoon.”
He grabbed my hand and I followed him out into the yard. His pool was close by and I wished I could jump in, but I didn’t have a bathing suit. It was so hot outside the sweat was dripping down my back.
“Did you talk to Grayson?” he asked.
Blowing out a shaky breath, I met his concerned gaze. “I did. He admitted to lying to me.”
His eyes widened in shock. “Really? About what?”
“About our so-called adventurous relationship. He said he knew that was the kind of guy I wanted. Thought I’d fall for him if he was like that.”
“What about the break up? Did he confirm that you broke up with him the night of the accident?”
I shook my head. But if he’d lied about our relationship, he probably lied about that too. “He only confessed to the other.”
Luke huffed. “Figures.”
Squeezing his hand, I jumped in front of him. “Whatever he says doesn’t matter anymore. He knows I chose you and that’s the end of it. There’s nothing he can say or do to break us apart.”
He let my hand go and brought his up to my face. “You’re right. All we have to focus on is each other.”
“Exactly. So what do you want to do?” I bit my lip, hoping he could see the heat in my eyes.
He pressed his hips into me. “I’m sure we can think of something.”
Stepping back, he pulled off his shirt and started on his pants. I glanced around quickly, making sure there was no one around. “What are you doing?” I shrieked.
He lowered his pants, his ripped and chiseled body bare before me. “We are going to jump in my pool.”
“Oh, no we’re not,” I said, backing away. His grin spread wider and he stalked toward me. Heart racing, I had no clue where to run because either way, he’d catch me.
“Yes we are, cupcake. Either we do this the easy way, or the hard way. Your choice.”
I took another step back and his eyes twinkled.
“One,” he counted.
The thrill overwhelmed me and I wanted the chase.
“Two,” he murmured, his voice deep and seductive.
I was ready to run, so I didn’t even wait on him to count to three. As fast as I could, I took off through the yard with him close on my heels.
“Three!” he shouted, chuckling the entire time he chased me.
I tried to run away from the pool, but we ended up circling around it until we got back to the garage. The whole situation was funny and I could barely breathe from laughing so hard. If anyone drove by, they’d see me being chased by a sexy, naked
