She smiles. “You won twice tonight. A deal is a deal.”

I watch her until it dawns on me.

“Damn right it is. That’s why we’re going across the hall.” I drag her to the Queens’ locker room. They stay on the ice longer for fan interactions and merch promo.

Once we’re inside, I lock the door and pull her into a corner. “What happened tonight?” I ask, failing miserably in keeping my voice gentle.

“I didn’t fall…” It’s all she tells me before she pulls on the waistband of my sweats.

I catch her hand. “What are you doing?”

“I lost our bet.” She perks a brow playfully, and I’m about to lose my mind.

“Can you be serious for a moment?” I snap. “What happened out there? I was three seconds away from—”

“I don’t want to talk,” she grits. “We had a deal. And I lost.” With a sly grin that irritates me, she attempts at my pants again, but I keep my grip on her wrist.

“That’s right.” I press her to the wall and bend to her ear. “And I’ve been looking forward to tasting this pussy all night.”

She jerks. “What? No. That’s not how—”

“Are you backing out of our bet?”

“No. But that wasn’t our bet. I didn’t fall so I lost. You even said—"

“Don’t twist my words, Princess, I know what I said.”

“Umm…so do I. Vividly.”

I sigh loudly. “Look. I know when no means no, so I won’t hold you to it.”

“Wh—Chase!”

“Get dressed. I’ll meet you outside.” I turn away from her and head to the door.

“Chase.” I turn at the familiar way she calls my name.

That lip is quirked playfully again, and I don’t miss a beat. I catch her panties midair and pocket the second pair of hers I now own.

I stalk toward her slowly, watching her, giving her time to reconsider. When she catches her lip between her teeth, I stop. “What is it?”

“I was alright with the other way around because—I know what I’m doing. I don’t know this way.”

“Was that even a sentence?”

“I’ve never been on the receiving end of this… I’m usually the giver.”

“You’re fucking with me, right?”

She shakes her head.

I exhale a laugh. “You shouldn’t have told me that.” I snake my hands up her skirt and grip her bare ass. “But I’m so fucking glad you did.”

Chase returns from the sink, running a smooth, soap-scented finger under my nose.

“Such a gentleman,” I tease.
