“Trust me, you don’t. Not unless you want a mental picture of what these two have been getting up to.” Xander shudders. Rude.

“Yeah, maybe I don’t then. Is Noah in there?” Niko jerks his head toward the living room, and I step aside so he can enter.

“Your dad called you?” I ask Xander when we’re alone.

“He did. Told us Noah was laid up and to come check on him. Luca and Justus should be here any minute too. He left your name out of the conversation, though.”

“I would hope so since he doesn’t know I’m here.”

“Why are you here exactly? Spare me the salacious details, just the facts.”

Boring. “Remember how I said Noah felt guilty about me hitting my head?” When Xander nods I continue. “I left out the part where he stayed at my place to make sure I was okay. I’m returning the favor.”

“You told me, and I quote, my cock hasn’t met his ass or vice versa.” Xander gives me a stern once-over and crosses his arms in front of his chest.

“And that was true. Then.”

His eyes fall shut as he takes a deep breath, I assume to calm himself although based on the color in his cheeks I don’t think it’s working. “And now?”

“I don’t kiss and tell.”

“You literally do. All the time.”

“Yes, but I haven’t kissed him so there’s nothing to tell.”

“You’ve done something else though.” Xander arches a knowing brow, daring me to deny it.

“Is that a problem?”

“It is when the guy you’re playing with doesn’t play for our team.”

“In my defense, I’m not the first guy to show him my dick.”

Xander chuffs and rolls his eyes. “Locker rooms don’t count.”

“I never said it was in a locker room.”

“You’re telling me he’d already been with men before you started messing with him?”

“Not with men, but not a good little straight boy either.”

“What does that even mean?” Xander’s brows draw together.

“That’s up to Noah to share, if he wants. Just know I didn’t corrupt the Norse god. Ooh, dinner’s here. And more company.” I step around Xander to pay the delivery guy and take the pizzas we ordered as Luca and Justus step onto the porch, then strut back inside like my best friend didn’t just assume the worst of me. Even if I sort of deserve it. “Will you guys be joining us?” I ask the group as I make my way to the kitchen.

“Pizza?” Luca asks as he follows me inside. “Oh shit, is your season over?” He turns to Noah with a panicked expression.

“I was just telling Niko it’s not that bad,” Noah says.

“Um, excuse me, but how do we make the leap from pizza to season ending?” I set the boxes on the counter and start opening cupboards, looking for plates.

“Noah’s on a strict diet during the season.” Justus shrugs. “Pizza isn’t on it.”

“I figured a shit day might as well be a cheat day too,” Noah says. “But I’ll be back on the diet tomorrow.”

“Is this one of those ‘you have to eat bland food because you’re old’ things?” I hand Noah a plate with three slices, ignoring how way too many sets of eyes are watching our exchange.

“It’s one of those ‘a good diet ensures I can play a long time’ things,” he answers.
