“What?”

“Noah’s like the caretaker of the whole team. It’s literally part of his DNA to look out for people.”

“So?”

“So, if he felt responsible for you falling, he’d stick around to make sure you’re okay, which would give you an opportunity to be…you. And with no one around to reel you in… What’d you do to him?”

Wow Xander’s eyes can get dark fast.

“Nothing.”

“What’d you do with him, then?”

Xander’s fishing for information I’d normally boast about if my escapade had been with an unknown party, but it’s not my place to tell anyone about the things Noah’s questioning, or the role I’ve played to help him figure things out.

“I would think that’d be obvious,” I scoff. “After all, a man that size likely has an equally sizeable dick, and if I’d been lucky enough to have it in me, I doubt I’d be able to skate flawlessly.”

“You’re telling me you didn’t try to fuck him while he was feeling guilty for making you fall?”

This is probably where I should say Noah’s been crashing with me, so it doesn’t look like I’m trying to hide anything. I don't, but it doesn't dismiss the fact I should. Since we drove separately–he needed to swing by his place first–there isn’t a reason to volunteer that information. I won’t deny it if it comes up, but I’m happy to leave that detail out since it’ll only make Xander more suspicious of what I may or may not have gotten up to with the big guy.

“I’m always trying to fuck him, but to date, my cock hasn’t met his ass. Or vice versa. Happy?” Sadly, it's not a lie.

“Yes, actually.”

“Rude,” I gasp. “You know, you could be my wingman on this the same way I helped you with your hockey god.”

“First, you didn’t play wingman. You just gave advice when I needed it. Second, Niko isn’t and has never been straight. The situations are totally different.”

They’re not as different as he thinks, as far as the straight part goes anyway, but I’d never say that without Noah’s permission. Even if Xander would understand and be supportive, it’s not something I have the right to do.

“Fine. Ignore the fact I arranged for Niko to be your DD, which led to the driving lessons, which led to the hottest sex you've ever had. I’ll wear Noah down on my own.”

“I’m not encouraging that, but since he keeps looking at you, maybe we should take a break from skating. The team would never forgive us if their star goalie has a heart attack because you fell off your board.”

“I only fell because he startled me.” My pride demands I save face. “But if you want to take a break we can.”

When we reach the other side of the pool, Xander sits between Niko’s legs on the lounger and reclines against him—their PDA game has no shame—while I take a seat at the foot of Noah’s because there’s literally nowhere else left. And everyone is used to me trying to get close to him, though I don’t actually help myself to his lap the way Xander does to Niko.

“I still can’t believe there’s no water in that pool.” Luca glances at the cement hole in the ground and shakes his head longingly.

“I wouldn’t swim in it even if there was. It’d be full of their jizz.” I grab a water from the cooler and start chugging.

“They make chemicals for that,” Niko says.

“They make jizz eliminating chemicals? Damn, whoever came up with that must be making bank. I bet they sell that shit in gallons instead of ounces.”

“You don’t need a pool,” Justus says. “You need a hot tub.”

“In this heat?” Luca balks.

“No, for the winter. How nice would it be to soak in a hot tub after a game.”

“Better than an ice bath.” Noah shivers.

“Those ice baths are why you’re still the starting goalie at your age.” Luca reaches over and smacks his arm.

“I’m only two years older than you.”
