Chapter Four

Jersey

“ E xcuse me ladies. I promised Paxton I’d meet him for a run tonight. It was great seeing you Mrs. Willimas. Please tell Coach I’ll see her tomorrow for training.” I stand, taking my plate, fork, and water glass with me to the kitchen, then make a beeline for the downstairs bathroom.

When Vik opens the door, I pin her against it, walking her back inside the small bathroom, then lock the door.

“What the—”

Cupping her cheeks, I cover her mouth with mine, quieting her. Fuck, she tastes so goddamn good.

“Oh, Jersey,” She moans against my lips when our kiss breaks.

Hot desperate breaths pass between us, then she suddenly turns her head to the side.

Leaning down, I pant against her sleek neck, “I want you, baby,”

She slips out from between me and the door, standing with her arms folded under her breasts. “Jersey. Dammit! We can’t! We just can’t do this.” Her head tips back and all I want to do is kiss her neck.

“Ah, Vik. I won’t tell anyone. I promise. Please, baby…”

“Jersey, please listen to me. It’s not that I don’t want to. It’s that I can’t. We…” Her hands waves between us. “…can’t. And you know why.” She combs her fingers through her long auburn-brown hair.

“Yeah, I know. Your job.” I blow out a frustrated breath.

“Yes, I’ll lose my job. I really should go.” She reaches for the doorknob.

Covering her hand, I blurt out, “Let’s just tell Grandma and your mom. Get them on our side.” I shrug, hoping she doesn’t think I’m a complete idiot.

“Are you crazy? You heard them criticize Marley and Chuck pretty harshly. No. Absolutely not.” She unlocks the bathroom door. Before leaving me, she says, “I’m sorry.”

“Yeah, me too,” I pout, but let her go. This isn’t me giving up, this is me giving her space. She’ll be at the workout tomorrow. I’ll talk to her then.
