“Jesus, another?” Rux asks, walking past with one hand covering his nose. “Why the fuck can’t you get a girlfriend?”
“Yeah, like you?” O’Brian fires back, running a hand through his hair. “When was the last time you had a regular girl?”
Rux stops, meets my eyes, allCan you believe this guy?before leveling him with a look. “Dude, I’m not the one who smells like I’ve been dipped in a vat of Dark Temptation.”
Rux keeps walking and O’Brian digs his AirPods out of his backpack.
I don’t want to know.
Except, I guess I do.
Arms crossed, I jut my chin at him. “What kind of incident we talking about?”
“The kind I shoulda known better than to let happen,” he says with a disgusted sigh. He shoves the sleeves up his wrists, exposing two rings of fresh bruises that have me fighting a grin my teammate probably wouldn’t appreciate.
“You like being tied up?” Kind of surprising and not my bag, but no judgment.
“No, asshole,” he grumbles. “I was trying to be a fucking gentleman.”
Wiping my hand over my mouth, I push down the smirk threatening to bust free. “A gentleman?”
“Yeah, man. I’m not a selfish lay. Carmen was into it and I figured why not let her do whatever got her off.”
“Uh-huh. So you let her tie you to the bed.”
He mumbles something under his breath and my brows shoot to the air vents above us.
“Come again?” This is too good.
“Handcuffs.”
“Mmm… And?”
“And she lost the fucking key. Or so she said.”
Allie is going to love this. “You don’t believe her?”
“Well she sure found it pretty quick when it looked like I was going to miss the plane.”
Yeah, because there’s a cardinal rule amongst the bunnies. Fuck the players, but don’t fuck with their game.
The pre-takeoff announcement sounds through the cabin and when it’s done I look back to O’Brian who’s wearing the kind of pissy look on his face I’m generally known for. I should cut him a break, but I guess I’m feeling sort of affectionate toward him today.
“So this business with the body spray… was that part of the kinky shit she got up to while you were all vulnerable and at her mercy?”
Barking out a laugh, he relaxes into his seat. “No, man. I was so late, I couldn’t go home. And even coated in a night of dirty sex sweat, no fucking way was I about to give her the opportunity to lock me in her bathroom while I showered. I had this suit in my trunk to get dry cleaned and I ran into a CVS for the body spray and a disposable razor.”
“Jesus, you do need a girlfriend.”
We start down the runway. “Aww, you applying for the position?”
“Hard pass. And nice try there selling me on your generous lover bullshit, but I’ve got my pride, man. No way am I competing with all your bunnies.” Besides, I’ve got a girl.
“Yeah.” Rubbing his eyes with the heels of his hands, he yawns. “Not the first time I’ve heard that.”
I snort. “Glad you made it. We’re going to kick some ass tonight.”
Giving me another fist bump, he grins. “Fuck yeah, we are.”
