actually help me hide my identity.”
Ryan pulled his nose out of his comic, glanced at his clock, and then sighed. “Maybe you’re right. I have a lot of reading to catch up on. I don’t know how Coach expects us to get all our homework done between practice and our workouts and still have time to sleep. Forget a social life.”
“Wait.” I gasped. “Was that—did I just hear a complaint come out of Ryan Miller’s mouth?”
I was teasing, but Ryan’s expression turned serious. “You’re right,” he said with a shake of his head. “I’m sorry. I’m still adjusting to my new schedule, and I’m just cranky because I have to let you go home. Come on, I’ll walk you out.”
Ryan was quiet as he walked me to the front door of his building. I was surprised to see him so stressed. He’s always so calm and relaxed about everything that sometimes I forget he’s every bit as human as I am.
He’s gone through just as much as I have in the past week, worrying about both Mike and me, and having such a demanding schedule on top of it. I can only imagine what kind of pressure he’s dealing with that he will never tell me about because he wouldn’t want to worry me.
He’s just so strong. I don’t know what I did to deserve him, but I won’t let myself take him for granted. He does so much for me, and I need to return the favor. He’s right. I do need to be more than Jamie Baker. I need to be the best girlfriend ever.
This time it was me who pulled him in for a long, steamy kiss—public setting and all. The way Ryan responded felt almost desperate. It only confirmed that he needed me more than ever right now.
Feeling spontaneous for once in my life, I let my power slip out and superkissed Ryan until his hair was standing on end. When we finally had to break apart for air, I smiled and attempted to smooth his hair back down for him. It was a pointless effort.
“What was that for?” Ryan asked, recognizing that I’d given him my energy on purpose.
It was my turn to give him a cocky grin. “Just thought you could use a little superspeed to help you get caught up on all of your reading.”
“What about your no superkissing rule?”
I shrugged. “Maybe you were right about me being a little paranoid. Everything turned out okay when I did it the other day. You haven’t noticed any brain damage, have you?”
“Um…No…But…”
The expression on Ryan’s face made me need to kiss him again. He’d been shocked, but also excited and grateful. “You know how much I love you, right?” I asked, unable to make myself leave.
Ryan finally returned to himself and smirked. “Of course I do. I’ve known that longer than you have.”
It was true; he’d definitely figured out that I loved him long before I realized it.
“Oh, good. Then I guess I don’t have to keep saying it.”
I started to walk away, but Ryan snaked his arms around my waist and dragged my lips back to his. “Just because I know it, doesn’t mean I don’t like to hear it.” He kissed me again with renewed vigor. “Never stop saying it, Jamie. Ever.”
Again with the Ryan face. How could I refuse that? “I love you.”
“I love you, too.”
“Good.” I finally managed to let go of him. “Now go inside and get your homework done Jamie Baker style, and then get a good night’s sleep.”
“I’ll dream about you,” he promised.
I considered his statement and then said, “Allowed. Just don’t dress me as Wonder Woman.”
“It’s my dream, Baker. I’ll dress you however I want.” His smile turned wicked. “Or maybe I won’t dress you at all.”
Ryan had given me a lot to think about. He always treats my powers like they’re some kind of fun game. Even the time I zapped him so hard I nearly stopped his heart his response had been, “Awesome. Let’s do it again.” His intentions are always great, and I love that he is always so positive, but I’m not sure he really looks at the negatives closely
