“Easy. Some of us got domesticated,” Noah answers, and everyone laughs.

Sawyer is right though. It’s been forever since we got the team together to just hang out and be guys, and it’s been so long since the last time we had a poker game night, I can’t remember it.

“Why don’t you guys come over to my place for a few games?” I suggest.

“You sure Becca will be okay with that? I mean, your place isn’t exactly huge, and we aren’t exactly quiet,” Reese says.

“She’s working and running some errands today anyway, so it’ll be fine. Besides, I want you all to meet Milo.”

The Aces share everything, and I do mean everything, so I still can’t believe I haven’t introduced them to my dog, but to be fair, things have been pretty busy for all of us lately. Especially me.

Reese nods. “Alright, then I’m game.”

One by one, all the other guys agree.

“Cool. I’ll head home now to get the place set up. Meet you there,” I say as I gather up my stuff to leave the locker room.

When I get home, Milo greets me at the door, and I see that Becca’s shoes are sitting nearby too, which either means she must’ve gotten home already.

“Becca? You here?” I call while I grab a treat for Milo.

“I’m upstairs,” she calls back. “Can you come up here? I have something I want to show you!”

Shit, I didn’t realize she would beat me home.

I would’ve asked her first before inviting them over if I’d known she would be here, but I thought she’d still be out. I want to give her a heads up that they’re coming and see whatever it is she wants to show me, so I hurry up the stairs, leaving Milo happily munching his treat in the living room.

Becca is waiting for me in the bedroom, and I grin as I catch sight of her.

“Hey,” I say, stepping forward.

Then I pause as I notice a mischievous look on her face. She’s wearing a coat that goes down nearly to her knees, and I can’t figure out why at first—but then she opens the coat and slips it off her shoulders, letting it fall to the floor.

My jaw drops. She’s wearing some of the skimpiest, sexiest lingerie I’ve ever seen in my damn life. It’s bright red and made of delicate lace that leaves nothing to the imagination.

“Holy shit. Is this what you wanted to show me? You look fucking stunning,” I rasp, all the blood rushing to my cock.

She flushes a little, her eyes heating as she crooks a finger, beckoning me closer. “Why don’t you show me how stunning you think I am?”

“I’d love to, princess.” I stride over to her quickly and pull her into my arms, crushing my lips to hers.

She melts against me, but just as my hands start to roam, the doorbell rings. Becca jerks in my arms, surprise flashing across her face as we break apart.

“Shit.Pleasedon’t tell me your parents are here again.” She blinks, shaking her head quickly. “Not that I’d be sad to see them, but…”

I chuckle. “Believe me, baby. I know just what you mean. I love my parents, but I’d lock them out of the house without a second thought right now.”

“Then who is it?”

Before I can answer, voices rise up from downstairs. I left the door open for them and texted them to let them know, and her eyes widen as she recognizes the sounds of them talking and laughing among themselves.

“Wait, you invited the team here?” she whispers, quickly grabbing the coat and slipping it back on.

I grimace. “Yeah. I’m so fucking sorry, princess. I didn’t think you’d be home. You said you were going out.”

“No, it’s fine. I was trying to surprise you. I guess this is what I get for trying to be all sneaky.”

“Theo! Hey, man, you here?” Noah calls from downstairs.
