Whoever said out of sight, out of mind must be crazy.
There wasn’t a day since I left that I didn’t think about her.
As much as I wanted to stay with her in Boulder City, it was never an option.
Caroline had big dreams of becoming a chef, and I’d just signed my rookie contract.
It was the chance of a lifetime for both of us.
After years of no contact, I’d assumed I’d lost her for good, but when I injured my pitching arm, I was given a second chance to right the wrongs from the past.
This is my last chance and the biggest payoff pitch of my life.
How quickly we’ve fallen back into old ways surprises me. Maybe I’ll be able to pull off being just friends after all.
“Now, go take a shower while I make lunch.” I clap my hands and rub them together like a mad scientist. “Where do I begin?” Kathy did a fantastic job stocking this refrigerator with all sorts of gourmet foods. I run through a recipe in my head that I think Micha will like and will work with the ingredients on hand.
“Caroline.” Micha’s deep voice close to my ear makes me jump.
“Damn it.” Lost in my thoughts, I hadn’t heard him approach. I clutch my chest. “You scared the crap out of me.”
“Sorry.” His brow furrows like he’s struggling with something.
“What’s wrong?”
“Nothing’s wrong…” He pauses like he’s carefully considering his words, then leans closer and whispers, “…I’m glad you’re here.”
And just like that, the friendly back and forth we had a few seconds ago is obliterated. I’m pulled back to when kissing and exploring each other’s bodies were a regular part of our lives.
The air is thick with sexual tension and no matter how hard I try, I can’t find the energy to look away.
His gaze lands on my lips.
I resist the urge to lick them and draw in a staggered breath. My hands find their way to rest on his hips while my legs turn to jelly.
His blue eyes look deep into mine.
Is he going to kiss me? Do I want him to kiss me? Should I kiss him?
4 Stars from Brianna!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
New author for me. New book, new series, new characters. Let's give it a try.
Kaylee Rose gives readers a hot burning, fast-paced sports romance in the new Vegas Venom Baseball Romance series and this was pretty good and kept me hooked cover to cover.
Payoff Pitch gives us Micha amd Caroline's story and this brother's best friends romance will get you all in your feels right from the start.. in your heart aaaaand your panties y'all. These two had a burning hot chemistry and great banter.. definitely history. Their story flew by in just a few short hours reading it and it was packed to the brims with all the everything they gave.
I'll follow this series to see where it goes. This was a good one y'all.
