“Isn’t this against the rules?”
“What rules?”
“Dating a teammate’s sister.” She wet her lips like she was trying to convince herself that it was somehow prohibited.
“Your brother isn’t my teammate anymore.” I smiled, not mentioning that there was still a bro code, one I took seriously, but one step at a time. “So, what’s your next excuse?”
She shook her head. “Aren’t you the one always telling me that I shouldn’t go on anymore dates.”
“Let me clarify.” I paused and debated how far I wanted to push her on this. “I meant anyone but me.”
She laughed. “I can’t figure you out.”
“Ask me anything. I’m an open book.”
“I can’t tell if you’re joking or serious.”
“I’m serious, Rylee,” I answered immediately. “We are both attracted to each other and even you can’t deny that we have chemistry.”
I so desperately wanted to move past this conversation and finally make my move, but I didn’t want to push her. I wanted her to know where I stood, and convince her to give me a chance.
She shifted her body. “Who says I’m attracted to you?”
This woman wasn’t giving me an inch, but I was calling her out.
My gaze dropped to her lips. “Are you seriously going to pretend that you’ve never wondered what I kiss like? Never curious about what it would be like if we spent the night together?” I asked softly, noticing the rise and fall of her chest.
“I don’t know what you are talking about.”
“I don’t believe you.” My eyes tracked over her features, and I cupped her cheek. “Just so we are clear, I would worship those lips and spend every waking minute getting lost in them.”
