“Glad to hear,” the outgoing guy says, then checks his watch. “I better get some sleep. I have my charcuterie board class first thing tomorrow.”

“You take a charcuterie board class?” Trina asks.

“Mine are top tier,” he says with obvious pride, but then his voice trails off at the end as his attention snags on a man and a woman at the end of the corridor.

The guy is Christian, the Sea Dogs team captain. But I don’t know who the woman is. Wesley can’t seem to take his eyes off her though. She’s a pretty brunette with cat-eye glasses and lush hair twisted up in a bun. “Who’s the team captain talking to?” he asks, a little mesmerized. He watches her with avid eyes, enrapt from all the way at the end of the hall.

“No idea,” I say.

Wesley walks toward them, away from us.

Trina leans in and whispers to me. “That’s Josie. Christian’s sister.”

I arch a brow her way. “The new guy and the captain’s sister. That should be interesting.”

“Especially since he’s made it pretty clear she’s off-limits.”

And Christian ushers his sister away before Wesley can even meet her.

“Maybe next time he’ll have better luck,” I laugh.

But whether that’s meeting her or resisting her is anyone’s guess.

Later, when I head home with my guys, I put Wesley’s burgeoning crush, the game, and the app behind us. “I have a surprise for you,” I say when we’re in the elevator in my building.

“What is it?” Hollis asks, eyes sparking.

“If I tell you it won’t be a surprise,” I chide.

“Tell us anyway,” Rhys says.

Gavin chuckles. “Have some patience, guys.”

“Not all of us can be you,” Hollis points out.

Once we leash up Donut and take her for a walk, we return to my home—which is nearly theirs—and I tell the dog to go to the couch. Like a good girl, she obeys.

Then, I bring the guys to the bedroom. I tell them to sit on the edge of the bed. I do a little striptease down to my panties.

“Holy fuck,” they mutter in unison.

“I’m your superfan,” I say, gesturing to the custom-made pair with a fox on them. Just like I promised. “Now, who wants to take them off first?”

Three arms shoot into the air. “I guess you’ll just have to share me.”

And they do. They share me so well.

When the season ends with stellar stats for all my men, we hop in Hollis’s car and head to Lucky Falls. We rented a certain cottage for the weekend. But first we stop at a café in Petaluma for lunch with my dad.

And his special someone.

Clara.

He’s been seeing her for a few months now. We head up the steps of the café, then go inside. The guys straighten their shoulders, smooth out their shirts, neaten their hair. They’ve had a few meals with my dad. They’re scared of him but in a good way. He’s a stern, gruff dad after all, who looks out for his daughter.

He was shocked at first when I told him about my boyfriends, but he loves me, and he’s come to accept my unconventional romance.

Once we reach the table, Clara beams, smiling at all of us. “Knew it. Called it. I love being right.”
