Evan didn’t know Robbs well as some of the other players around the league. As Robbs was one of the younger shifters that Evan hadn’t played with in the NHL Evan only knew what he’d learned by stats and playing against the hellhound. With Robbs and Zany joining them in Hawaii, along with Evan’s cousin and Marlin, Evan was looking forward to getting to know the newer players better.

Somehow Evan had turned from the grumpy solitary old dragon to someone that wanted to make more friends throughout that league. He was blaming Nix for that.

“Here we go,” Cherry said. “Forty-five more seconds. Come on, baby. Come on.”

Evan tightened his hold on Nix. Forty-five more seconds until the end of the best season of his life. He didn’t have to worry about hiding himself away in his cabin for the summer. Evan was taking his boy to Hawaii. That should be fun. Or crazy. Either way it would be one hell of an adventure.

Luka

The cheering, shouting, and yelling died down as the end of the game and season was finally over. The Vegas Vikings were the Iron Cup champions.

Nix was nearly climbing his Daddy in excitement. The triplets’ mom, Cherry, was wiping tears from her eyes while her husband whistled.

Hands gripped his hips before Luka was yanked back against a hard body.

Turning his head slightly, Luka breathed in his lover. Being with Gem while he watched his brother play for the championship had been enlightening. His normally calm, quiet-natured, and in-control master hadn’t been any of those things during the game. And Luka found that hot as hell.

He pushed back, letting Gem’s erection ride in the crease of his ass.

Luka wasn’t surprised to feel Gem’s cock hard. It seemed that his master was always ready to go, wanted him, even craved Luka’s bigger body. It still seemed like Luka was living in a dream world sometimes. To have someone like Gem who loved Luka so entirely.

And Luka needed Gem unlike any way he’d ever felt before.

On the flight over from Seattle, Gem introduced Luka to the mile high club. They’d snuck into the back of the private jet Gem had rented where Gem had fucked Luka against the wall. With his lover’s seed still inside him keeping Luka slick, he wanted more. He always wanted more. It was like an addiction. Luka craved Gem’s touch, his attention, the way that Gem made Luka feel like he was enough. That he would always be enough.

“I can’t wait to get you back to the hotel and rim that tight little hole of yours before giving you my cock again,” Gem whispered in his ear.

Luka groaned, pushing back again. “I don’t want to wait.” He needed Gem now!

“Let’s go down!” Cherry said to the crowd. “Let’s celebrate with our boys.”

As the suite started to clear out, Gem gripped Luka’s hips tighter and didn’t move away.

“Coming?” Evan asked with a waggle of his brows. Like he knew how needy Luka was.

“We’ll meet you down there,” Gem replied.

“Come on!” Nix bounced as he spoke. “This is going to be an epic celebration. I bet Aries talks Vin into getting ice cream tonight. I want ice cream. I bet I can even out-eat Robbs!”

Evan threw an arm around Nix’s shoulders, leading him from the room, then turned back to wink at them. “Don’t be too long.”

Was this really happening? Here? The suite might be private but the glass front looked out to the ice and people seated close could see in. The crowd was not leaving anytime soon either. Winning the seventh game in the championship series on home ice was every hockey player’s dream.

“Go into the bathroom, drop your pants, and lean over the sink. I want to see that gorgeous hole when I walk in,” Gem ordered.

A hard shudder rocked his body before Luka could move.

Not knowing where the cameras were facing, as he knew their group had been featured several times on the jumbo screen during the game, Luka walked casually to the private bathroom. He suspected that he’d hear from his mother after the broadcast was finished. Hell, it was possible that she’d already tried to call or text.

In the short time that Luka had been with Boston and Gem, he’d spoken to his mom less than usual.

It wasn’t that he blamed her for how his father or the rest of the family treated him. He was just starting to understand that while she loved him, Luka’s mom would also never put his needs first. The family wanted his money while also making Luka feel like an afterthought. They reminded him that he wasn’t as important as the rest of family. Luka was trying to work through the hurt feelings and disappointment. It was also all he could do to keep Gem from stepping in when Luka was upset by someone in the family.

Luka closed the door behind him, catching his refection in the mirror.

Luka looked good in his custom-fitted gray shirt and dark jeans. If the camera had caught sight of him, it would have been most likely that Gem had been touching him or vice versa. They hadn’t announced their relationship publicly; they also weren’t hiding it. Luka was sure his father would have something to say about that all right.

Running his hand over the shirt to settle on his rapidly beating heart, Luka knew who his heart belonged to. The only person who wanted what was best for him. Gem loved Luka just the way he was.
