“Liliana… I don’t remember her last name, but I'm sure you could ask Smithy.”
“Perfect. I’ll make sure to catch him before I leave for the day and get in contact with her.” I close my notebook and slip my pen inside the spiral piece of metal. I’ll lose it if I don’t keep it there.
“Mace? One more thing.”
“Yeah?” I stand to my full height, ready to get to work on a press release as well as getting in contact with people to leak these videos to.
“Sunshine wants you at dinner on Sunday. Will you come?”
“Of course. I’ll even bring some dessert.” I smile at Owen before I open his office door and take a step into the locker room. My gaze collides with Cord’s and I suck in a sharp breath. I think I just ran out of time to think things over.
Chapter 18
Cord
My gaze locks on Macy as she steps out of Dad’s office. She looks amazing today with her hair falling around her waist in soft curls. She’s wearing a tight tank top with a fitted jacket over it, showing off her cleavage. She has a pencil skirt hugging her hips, making me want to grip her waist and tug her against me. She’s absolutely breathtaking.
My thoughts flicker to how upset she looked when she was sitting in the stands watching us practice. She looked so destroyed. So upset, yet I don’t know why.
Before I can open my mouth to say anything, Macy closes the distance between us and flings her arms around my neck. My hands instinctively hold onto her waist as she stands on her tippy toes and presses her lips against mine.
I don’t know what is going on with her right now, but I'm not going to push her away. I know that would destroy any confidence she has right now. Instead, I kiss her back with as much passion and lust as she’s giving me.
My hands slip around her waist, pulling her even closer to me. I haven’t been able to hold her like this in a long time, I'm going to enjoy it for as long as I can.
Macy brushes her tongue over my bottom lip and I instantly open my mouth for her. I taste the cinnamon gum she was chewing and something specifically Macy.
“Damn, get a room, Powell!” Some idiot yells further into the locker room.
“This might be better than porn,” another guy murmurs as he walks past us.
There’s a couple of loud whistles and guys muttering things under their breaths. It should bother me, but it doesn’t. I'm too lost in the woman in front of me to care about anything else.
Macy slowly pulls away and rests her forehead against my chest. I hug her to me and press a soft kiss to the top of her head.
“Come to my place for dinner tonight,” I whisper so only she can hear me.
I expect her to protest in some way, but she doesn’t. Instead, she nods her head and takes a step back.
“What time?”
“Whenever you want.” I shrug. “If you’re ready to leave, you can just come with me.”
“Oh, I'm sure.” She rolls her eyes. “Should I just stay over and come back to work with you in the morning?”
“I mean, I'm not against that idea.” I grin, wishing I could have her with me all night again. I miss sleeping with her in my arms.
“I’m sure you aren’t.” She goes to swat at my chest, but she stops when she sees the angry skin from me sliding into second base. “Cord…”
“I know. I’ll be fine though. It’s just skin. It will grow back.”
“You need to clean it up, get all of that dirt out. Go shower and when we get to your house, I’ll clean and bandage you up.”
“Ok…” I trail off as my brows draw together. She doesn’t act like this. Why is she being so sweet and caring right now? What’s with the complete one-eighty?
“I just need to talk to Smithy, then I'm ready to go.”
“Why do you need to talk to Smithy?” I frown. I don’t want her talking to any of the guys.
