I feel the connection rock through me and I don’t even think twice as I mouth to him, I love you.
I can see even from here the way he straightens, and that he wants to say something back. Or maybe do something.
But he can’t.
And maybe I should feel bad about that.
I don’t.
Cam always says I’m a brat. And he’s not wrong.
Yeah, Coach, just try to get over me.
I’ll just be up here in the stands, cheering you on, and not being over you.
CHAPTER 34
Cameron
“I had a great game tonight and Luna is in the kitchen stomping around making cupcakes at midnight,” Alexsei says under his breath, putting his feet on the coffee table. “She’s trying to hide it, but our girl really sucks at hiding her feelings.”
“You think?” I ask wryly, sitting on the couch beside him. “At least we’ll know when we’re in trouble with her.”
“Are you sure we’re not in trouble with her?” Alexsei asks, casting a wary glance Luna’s way when she smacks the top of her stand mixer with the palm of her hand and calls it a motherfucker.
It’s definitely not us. It’s Owen.
The last few weeks have been amazing. We’ve settled into a routine of date nights and sleepovers here at our place when Alexsei’s in town, and then when he’s not, Luna stays at her apartment to catch up on laundry and work. Sometimes I go over to her place without Alexsei, sometimes I don’t. It just depends on Luna and what her needs are that day and I’m flexible. I’m a guy who likes a little space, too, so it works out.
It’s all working out with the three of us.
We’re in love, and we’re having a great time.
What’s not working out is that Luna misses Owen.
And it’s making her angry that she still misses him.
Which makes me angry at Owen.
“I’m sure. She saw Owen at the game, obviously, and it upset her. Brady and Lydia being there was great and everything, but she saw clearly what Owen chose to give up and her heart is hurt.” I reach over and give Alexsei a kiss. “You did have a great game. I’m proud of you, babe.”
He gives me a bright smile. Alexsei is easy to perk up. It’s one of the many things I love about him. He rolls his shoulders and flexes his outstretched legs. “Thanks. I think I’m getting old though. My whole body hurts from head to toe.”
“You’re twenty-fucking-four.”
“In hockey terms, this is my prime.”
“You are definitely in your prime.” I lean over and murmur in his ear. “You should take a hot shower while Luna finishes up whatever the hell she’s doing in there. Then I’ll give you a massage.”
“A real massage or one that is just a fake-out one so you can get me naked?”
I rub the inside of his thigh. “It’s a real one, I promise, but with a happy ending.”
“Sold.” Alexsei drops his feet to the floor and starts to stand up. “Is she going to be okay in there?” he asks, giving another nervous glance in her direction. “I feel like we should talk to her.”
“I think she just needs to work this out in her own way. Our girl likes space, remember?”
He nods. But he does stroll over to Luna and kisses the side of her head. “I’m taking a shower.”
