Kip knew there is more to Scott’s frequent visits than blended approximately Game Changer fruits, but he never let himself imagine being invited back again to Scott’s penthouse. Or kissed with reckless reject, never mind handled everywhere all at one time. When it occurs, it’s red-hot, amazing, and frequent, but also only on Scott’s terms and generally behind his shut apartment doors.
