Soon, they were both involved in the
game, throwing their whole bodies into turns, elbowing each other on
accident, then on purpose, laughing and dueling for position.
Since he was bigger and heavier, he won more often than not, but
Elena knew how to use her sharp little elbows to her advantage,
probably the result of growing up with a younger brother. He
didn’t have a sister, but he had friends who did, and some of their
older sisters were just as rough as he was on his little brother.
Clearly, Elena fell into that category of older sister.
After one elbow contest where Elena was
losing, both with her elbow, and her narrow lead on screen, she
hopped up and sat down on his lap, knocking the controller out of his
hands, making his character veer off course and crash. She
braced her feet on the coffee table, pushing back to smash him as far
into the couch as she could, pushing the coffee table away as she did
so.
Wrapping his arms around her, he caught
her before she could fall off his lap, trapping her against his
chest, pulling her back, and rolling sideways so he pinned her on the
couch. She laughed, squirming under him, and tossed aside the
controller, blowing out a breath to try to dislodge the ends of her
ponytail caught in her mouth.
She slapped his tricep lightly.
“Move your arm! I can’t believe you made me crash!”
He laughed, moving his arm, but
brushing the hair off her face before she could. Her laughter
died, and she stilled under him, as though she suddenly realized how
she was laying, pinned under him.
His breath caught at the look on her
face, equal parts memory and desire as her eyes flitted over his
features and settled on his lips. “You made me crash first.”
Her eyes went back to his, and her
smile was dazzling, finally reaching her eyes and driving out the
perpetual sadness. “I was just trying to win.”
Now his gaze settled on her lips, lush
and red, still smiling, though less widely now. He remembered
the taste of those lips. Had been wanting to taste them again
ever since.
Slowly, he lowered his head to hers,
giving her plenty of time to turn away if she wanted. But she
didn’t. Instead, she closed the distance, fastening her mouth
to his, her tongue plunging into his mouth.

is.
Matt graduated in December after his

pursuing their goals while he’s left as the third wheel. And

his life—the girl who simultaneously made him want a relationship
and ruined him for anyone else without him even realizing it. He
