“No, never,” he whispered. “Though I do wish we’d been able to do this anywhere but in a supply closet.”
A breathy giggle left me as I looked at our surroundings. “In a way it’s sort of perfect, isn’t it?”
We’d started in a closet, it only made sense that we took the next step in one.
“No, I had a whole plan. I was going to ask you out on a date today after you got off the ice.”
Sitting up at my elbow, I shot him a surprised look. “Was that why you were there? Artie wouldn’t tell me.”
Enzo’s lips pulled up into a wry grin. “He and the others helped me to plan it. Made me feel like an asshole because I don’t think I ever planned a good date with Artie before because we just sort-of came together and skipped a bunch of dating steps, so I promised to take him out next week after what was supposed to be our first date.”
“I didn’t mind this—but you can tell me what you were planning anyway.” I had to admit that I was curious what the male brain trust that was the rest of my pack managed to come up with.
“Well, Leith found a really nice restaurant on the waterfront, Italian of course,” Enzo began, gesturing at himself. “And then Artie and Wiz came up with the crazy idea of indoor skydiving. I wasn’t sure if I was going to go that route, I think I was saving it in case our date went to shit and I needed a no-talking activity.”
We both shot each other a knowing look. As much as we liked one another, even I could admit that our personalities tended to clash at the best of times.
“And what was your part of the plan?” I prodded, knowing he had to have something to do with the crazy scheme that they’d all cooked up.
“Mine?” Enzo asked with a breathy laugh. “Mine was to go on a walk to where you punched me in the throat.”
“That’s… ah… romantic?”
Enzo’s eyes danced as he pulled me in for a quick kiss, his lips nearly distracting me from the conversation until he spoke again.
“I was going to apologize for being such an unbearable ass and ask you if you wanted to start over with a clean slate—as my girlfriend and packmate.”
My heart gave a girlish pitter-patter and it must have shown on my face because Enzo smirked. “Romantic enough for you?”
I nodded, my fingers splaying out on his bare chest. “I mean, it’s got nothing on a closet confession, but I would have said yes either way.”
Enzo opened his mouth to say something but never got the chance as the door to the closet was unceremoniously yanked open.
“You two have got to stop doing illicit things in the closets of this place,” Artie said, his nose wrinkling as he smelled exactly what we’d been up to.
Leith was hovering just behind the omega, a stupid grin on his face as he took in the scene in front of him.
“How’d you find us?” Enzo grumbled as he sat up and snagged his ruined shirt off of the ground.
“I followed the bond to where the sensation of two people shagging was the strongest and ta-da! Wouldn’t you know it the two of you are having sex in a supply closet—again.” Artie was scolding us, but even I could feel the sheer delight oozing out of the omega.
“We’ve only had sex in a supply closet once—the first time was just kissing,” I mumbled sheepishly as I pulled Wiz’s sweatshirt on again.
“Yeah, and that’s real rich coming from you, omega, considering you fucked her in a shower here.”
Artie’s spine straightened and he let go of Charm’s harness in order to cross his arms over his chest.
“I was in heat, so it’s different,” he sniffed, pointing his nose up with mock-snobbishness. “And you’re not going to want to put that shirt on—Leith?”
Leith tossed a duffel bag into the room. “There’s some of my clean clothes in there, they should be only a little bit large on you.”
“Why do I need these?” Enzo asked, pulling a t-shirt out and tugging it over his head.
“Because,” Artie said as he reached out to help me to my feet so I could get my leggings back on. His nostrils flared at the scent coming off of me and he looked about thirty seconds from pulling his own clothes off and joining us, and then he cleared his throat. “We’ve been called up to Colt Stone’s office. Apparently, someone decided to bash a certain hockey player’s face in and run from the scene of the crime. Also, you better use some of that descenting spray in the bag unless you want everyone knowing you two beat up a fully grown man before fucking in a closet.”
Enzo froze mid-pulling up the too-long sweatpants Leith had loaned him, his eyes wide.
“Oh shit.” The words slipped out of me before I could catch them as I began to dig in the bag for the aerosol spray that would get rid of the smell, my mind already racing in all of the ways that we were in trouble.
