“Yeah. I’d like that.” I pinch her clit lightly and she clenches around me again, so tight I nearly black out. “And then after, we’ll curl up in bed and I’ll hold you.” My hips punch up. “All. Fucking. Night.”

Viv cries out as she comes, her pussy milking my cock. It doesn’t take much to push me over the edge and I release into her hot, tight cunt.

Pulling out of her, I roll her onto her back and slide three fingers inside of her, pushing my release deeper inside of her. She lets out a soft moan, twitching around my fingers.

“Tony…”

I kiss her deeply, trying to tell her all the emotions swirling around in my head.

As I slide my fingers out, I bring them to my lips, tasting our combined releases. The salt and musk on my tongue makes my spent cock twitch against her leg, trying to rally.

She lets out a happy sigh, reaching for me. I pull her into my arms and she rests her head on my chest.

“We’re going to be okay, aren’t we?” She looks up at me with hope in her eyes.

My stomach flips. “Do you have a reason to doubt us?”

“Uh, life?” She waves a hand in the air. “I’ve never done this. The happy ever after thing.”

I kiss her forehead. “Yeah, we’re going to be okay.”

The arena is bustling with the special frenzy of hockey fans. With Tony’s hand in mine and Cari beside him, we make our way to the suite we’ll be sitting in. As soon as Ceci heard Chuck would be in town, she insisted on coming to the game. Sadie, Vanessa, and Rachel are all in the suite with us, plus what feels like half of our book club. Hailey MacGregor too, whose brother is an assistant captain.

Cari bounds over to Hailey, pulling her into a hug. There are a few other men, mostly the partners of my friends, but the vast majority of our group is female. I love seeing women interested in sports. For so long, it’s been such a male-dominated world. I’m glad we’re starting to claw our way to an even playing field.

Tony swallows loudly as Ceci approaches with a sharp look in her eyes.

“What’s he doing here?” she demands, hands on her hips.

“We like him,” I tell her flatly. After all, the last time she’d seen him, I still hated him. Even though we’ve talked since then, I can’t blame her for being wary.

She grins. “Awesome. Welcome to the family, then.” Ceci tugs him into a hug.

He looks back at me with wide eyes.

“You’ll have to bring your cute friend around sometime,” she continues. “I could use more single guy eye candy.”

Tony forces a chuckle. “He has a girlfriend.”

“Shit. Okay, you’re out of the club.” She gives him a cheeky smile. “I’m kidding. But make some new, hot friends.”

“I’ll do my best.” He reaches for me, taking my hand. “Thank you for letting us sit with you.”Ceci waves it off. “You’re family now.”

He’s wearing a Gonzales #56 jersey, same as Cari. I pulled out my old Colorado Dragons jersey with Gallagher #12 on the back. If it were any team other than my brother’s, I’d have no issue supporting Al.

“Two households, both alike in dignity,” Tony murmurs into my ear. “In fair Boston, where we lay our scene.”

I laugh. “Okay, Shakespeare. I like to think we’ll have a better outcome than Romeo and Juliet.”

“Well, if I suddenly appear to have died, check for poison first,” he says. “Maybe give it an hour to make sure I’m really dead.”

“You won’t be pining for the fjords?” I tease.
