I’ve been waiting a long time to tell the world about the two loves of my life. The team scheduled a press conference so we can make a statement regarding the stories circulating about me, Chance, and Presley. Chance is planning on doing the same in Philly later today. I wish I could be there; I know this isn’t easy for him. At least he has the support of his team.
This is more than just PR. This is standing up and letting everyone know: Racism and prejudice no longer have a place in the NHL. Inequality has gone on for far too long. Our teams are going to make sure everyone knows that moving forward, sports will be a safe space foreveryone.
Jason pats my shoulder. “We’re with you, whatever you need.”
I arch a brow. “Feels like it was yesterday when I was giving you the same speech.”
He chuckles. “Time flies when you’re fucking two people at the same time.”
“It sure fucking does, my friend.”
Trenton laughs. “Our boy is all grown up. Look at you, in a relationship. Did you think you’d ever be here when you woke up naked in a stranger’s house?”
I slap my forehead with my palm, and drag my hand down my face. “Don’t remind me of that nightmare, okay?”
Coach knocks on the door before sticking his head inside. “They’re ready for us.”
Alexander wraps his arm around my shoulders as we walk toward the door. “I’m proud of you, Mac. And I’m so happy that you’re finally happy.”
Me too.
It’s about damn time.
“You were incredible today.”
I smile as my head falls back against the seat, and I kill the engine. “Thanks, pretty girl. You watched it?”
“Of course I did. I watched Chance’s press conference too.”
My heart clenches at the reminder. “So did I.”
“I’m jealous I can’t be there with you two tonight.”
“How’s my girl doing? Has she stopped throwing up?”
She heaves a sigh. “I think she’s finally on empty. Hopefully she sleeps through the night without any issues.”
“I wish you would’ve let me stay and help.”
“You have a big game coming up. There’s no way in hell I’d let you catch this thing.”
“I’m invincible. Germs can’t bring me down.”
She chuckles, and the sound of her laugh soothes me. “It’s concerning that you actually believe that.”
“Well, get some rest, baby. I need you healthy for when I get back.”
“Oh, yeah? And why’s that?”
“Because you’ll need all your strength for how good I’m going to fuck you.”
She hums. “Maybe I’ll make a video of me touching myself tonight to show you both what you’re missing.”
My dick jumps. “Fuck, yes. Definitely do that.”
“Goodnight, handsome. Give Chance a kiss for me.”
“I will.” I pause. “I love you, pretty girl.”
