“With who?”
“The team. We’re going to watch the game at the Brewhouse.”
She raised both her brows and pointed at herself. “And you want me to come.”
I cocked my head to the side, scanning her. “Yeah, why wouldn’t I?”
“I just thought…” She bit her lip, and I cupped her jaw and stroked my thumb along her cheek.
“Thought what?”
“Isn’t us hanging out with the guys…more official? You never brought girls around before.”
I straightened and took a deep breath. “Do you not want me to bring you around them yet?”
She huffed out a laugh and tipped her head back before looking at me. “I just didn’t think you’d want me to.”
“Why?”
She raised a brow, and my chest constricted.
“You thought I’d want to keep this a secret?”
“Kinda.” She shrugged. “You’ve never been big on PDA.”
“Oh yeah? What’s this?” I circled her waist and pulled her chest against mine. She giggled, the sweetest sound I’d ever heard, and I dropped my forehead on hers. My tone turned serious. “Do you want to come with me to hang out with the guys?”
“Yes.”
Her smile grew, and I couldn’t stop myself from leaning down and kissing her. “Then I’ll pick you up after practice.”
“Okay.” Her fingers dug into my shirt, and she kissed me again, until I was the one who struggled to breathe.
“There’s that PDA thing you were worried about.”
She huffed out a breath. “You love it.”
I ran my thumb over her bottom lip. “Yeah, I do.”

I patted Cane’s shoulder. “You’ve really nailed down the power play kill. Good job.”
“Thanks, Cap.” You’d think I’d just told him he made it to the NHL from the way he beamed at me. It was his rookie season, and he had a lot to learn, but he was getting there.
Alex came up beside me, already changed into his street clothes. “Captain suits you.”
It was kind of fucked-up how I became captain instead of him. He definitely deserved it. “Sorry—”
“Fuck off with that. Coach made a good call.” He smirked and raised an eyebrow. “You know you’re completely losing the Hunt.”
“I was never playing to begin with.” I leaned back and crossed my arms.
“Does Piper know that?”
“She does now.”
“About fucking time.” He slapped my back. “You bringing her out tonight?”
