I wince walking into the Hockey House.

Most of the guys are passed out but a few are hanging out with their girls or just playing video games. My plan is to grab an ice pack as quickly as I can and try to vanish upstairs, but Holt comes up from the basement at the worst time with the redhead ringleader of the puck bunnies. I heard her little group calls themselves Biscuit Bunnies now as if that’s better.

At the same time, Luca comes into the kitchen from outside.

Is there a special Nick’s Home radar?

Holt slaps Kandi’s ass as a parting wave, but she lingers looking over in Luca’s direction.

“Hey, how was your date?” Holt asks, making Kandi’s gaze shoot right at me.

Perfect.

He couldn’t just wait until she left. The girl is always fucking here.

“Did you play laser tag?” Luca asks.

“Is that code for something?” Kandi chimes in.

“It was good. And no, and no.” I answer each one of their questions quickly to move this party along.

“Just good?” Holt leans over the counter like a schoolgirl gossiping. “Did you at least get naked?”

I don’t answer, but Kandi coos, joining Holt at the counter.

He better watch it with this one.

She’s giving off the vibes of a clinger.

“They definitely got naked. Look he’s blushing.” Kandi points out and Luca jumps in to inspect me.

“Oh, I see it. He definitely got laid. Here let me check your cock, I can totally tell.” Luca reaches down to grab me and I instinctively jump back wincing.

Fuck, that hurt.

“You ok, man?” Holt notices the pain.

“I’m fine. Luca just surprised me.” I try to play it off. “Keep your hands to yourself,” I warn Luca, but Holt is squinting his eyes at me.

He’s examining me. I’ve seen him do it to others. He’s assessing and observing all the tells.

He knows.

“Are you taken now or what?” Kandi asks and I’m about to kick her out of the house.

Seriously, why is she still here?

“After that whole Cora shit, I need to tell my girls you are off limits. We don’t mess with guys in relationships.” She takes out her phone and starts typing away.

“Yeah, I’m taken.” I watch her text something out to god knows who.

My eyes keep bouncing from her to Holt to Luca.

Luca is oblivious, watching Kandi. His eyes haven’t moved off of her while she talks about the threats Cora had made to them.

Holt hasn’t looked away from me. He’s searching my body for an injury, I just know it.

“You’re welcome by the way,” Kandi says, grabbing my attention again.
