cooking up to get us together.
“Yeah, they’re great,” I agree with him.
“Your grandma said something to me that was odd. She told me that it would be hard for you to open up but I didn’t need to lose faith in you. That this was the happiest she had seen you in six years. I know I haven’t known you for very long, but you seem pretty happy to me. What’s she talking about?”
My breath catches in my chest. Why did Gran do this to me? She knows that I don’t talk about this shit with anybody, and I definitely don’t like people knowing this about me.
“Tuck, I’m sorry, but I don’t talk about my past. Maybe one day I’ll tell you, but I really like having you as a friend right now. I know that as soon as I tell you everything, you won’t want anything to do with me. So please just drop it for now. Please.”
He looks over at me with his beautiful eyes and nods his head. He grabs my hand and threads his fingers with mine. “I’ll wait, Kori. But I’m not going anywhere.” And with that, a tiny fissure cracks my inner wall. I know in that moment that Tuck will be either my ruination or my healing. I don’t know which scares me more.

Tuck
I slam my phone down in frustration after I read Chase’s text. We had made plans to watch the game on the big screen at the local sports bar, but he just bailed on me. Some bullshit excuse about having a study group. In other words, he found a girl he wanted to nail. I hate that he flaked out on me, and now I have to either stay home or go by myself. I grin to myself as I make a quick decision to invite Kori. I’m not certain if she’s a football fan or not, but she is so damn cool to hang out with that I just can’t resist her.
I quickly shoot her a text and am thrilled when she replies back that she’ll go. I promise to pick her up in thirty minutes at her house. Since I’m taking an incredibly sexy woman to a bar to watch a game, I figure I had better change out of the workout clothes that I’m currently wearing. I quickly slip into my usual faded jeans and tshirt. I pull my boots on and run my fingers through my hair. There’s no point in trying to fix it; it always seems to do whatever the hell it wants.
I pull up in front of Kori’s house, and she comes running out of the door to meet me. I swallow at the sight she presents as she jogs to my truck. She has on a pair of worn jeans that have holes in the legs and a snug tank top. The tank top hugs her breasts as they jiggle with each step she takes. I groan out loud as I come to the realization that I have just sentenced myself to an evening of looking at her. I know we fucked at her house last week, but I’m not certain if that is going to become a regular occurrence or not. I would certainly love for it to be, but I’m not going to push Kori if she isn’t on the same page as I am.
She climbs into my truck and brushes her lips lightly across my cheek in greeting. That is one thing that I love about our relationship - we aren’t afraid to touch each other. I’m just not certain how much I am allowed to touch her without her wanting to break my hand.
We make small talk as I drive to the bar. I discover that Kori is an avid sports fan, and I make a mental note to rub that in Chase’s face. I truly don’t think a more perfect woman exists in all of God’s creation.
I park the truck and walk into the bar. I’m a couple steps behind Kori as we stroll across the parking lot, and my eyes are instantly drawn to her ass. I feel my dick twitch as I realize that her jeans have a hole right below her ass. I can
