I know exactly why Luna likes him. Hell, why she's falling in love with him. He's a perfect balance for her. She's a little stress ball. She's driven, sassy, feels like she has to do it all by herself.

Alexsei can make her laugh, make her relax, tease her out of a bad mood, I'm sure.

I don't even have to be around that much to know that he thinks she fucking hung the moon and constantly makes her feel important and special.

I think I do that for her, too, but in a different way.

The three of us treat her differently. We’re three different men for three different sides of her as a woman.

And I do like how Alexsei treats her. How she clearly feels when she's around him.

"You ready?" I ask him. "I’m gonna work your asses off tonight. You have to be ready. We have to obliterate the Dragons."

He grins. "Always ready for anything."

Again, I feel like he's giving me a knowing look, and I don't appreciate it.

But there's no way the rest of the team is going to pick up on anything. There is no way anyone else would possibly guess what Alexsei and I got up to two nights ago.

"What’s with the two of you?" Crew asks as he walks by.

Fuck.

Maybe there is a way someone would pick up on something.

And, of course, it would have to be the brother of the woman we’re sharing.

I groan inwardly.

I’m fucking one of my player’s sisters. With one of my other players.

This is so fucking complicated.

“Hey, Ryan!” someone calls. “You need your ribs taped?”

I look over to see Doc Hughes leaning out of his office.

“Nah, I’m good,” Alexsei tells him.

“You sure?” Hughes asks. “You hit the wall pretty hard the other night.”

Alexsei rubs his hands over his ribs. “Perfect shape. Not a twinge.”

I realize that he didn’t so much as wince the other night with Luna and if he had something serious going on with his ribs, he would have felt it the way he was pounding into her. And again, I groan. Not exactly the way I should be clearing my players for practice and games.

But Hughes nods. “Okay. Let me know if you change your mind.”

And it occurs to me that Michael Hughes and Crew are dating—and sleeping with—the same woman while on the same hockey team (the hockey team owned by their girlfriend's other boyfriend), so maybe Alexsei and I don’t need to worry.

And am I seriously thinking that we should both date Luna? Really? In an actual relationship?

My eyes slide shut as I take a deep breath.

I hear Alexsei chuckle.

“I was just asking Coach how his date went the other night.”

My eyes snap open.
