Why was this so hard. Evan glanced toward the headboard to avoid Nix’s gaze. “It’s not a dragon thing. It’s…it’s more of a hockey thing.”
“Hockey? I’m a hockey player. I play on your team! Are you talking in riddles on purpose?”
Evan blew out a harsh breath. “No! I’m just embarrassed!”
“Embarrassed? I was literally naked in your lap all afternoon. Anytime you wanted to distract me from asking questions about your story, you would stroke me. You kept me hard for hours! And you’re embarrassed.”
He really hadn’t given the boy enough credit. “Caught that distraction technique, did you?”
“I really am smarter than I look.” Nix grabbed Evan’s wrist.
Evan forced himself to look at Nix. “I know you’re smart.”
“You would start telling a story, especially about other couples, but you always paused then changed direction.”
“Why didn’t you say something?” Evan asked.
“I figured you’d tell me when you were ready,” Nix responded in a gentle tone.
“Dragons like complete control over their partners,” Evan confessed.
Nix waggled his eyebrows. “Kinky.”
“More than you know.”
“What?” Nix frowned at him.
“I learned the art of Shibari to satisfy my dragon, Hell, I enjoy it just as much as he does.”
“Is that why we can’t have sex? Because you want to tie me up? I promise I would be so into that!”
Evan shook his head. “That’s not the reason. I sort of expected that you wouldn’t mind being in my ropes.”
Nix shivered. “Really wouldn’t mind.”
“It’s something that my first hockey trainer told me.” Evan smirked. “And you know how superstitious hockey players are.”
Nix groaned as he stared up at Evan. “You’re going to tell me no orgasms before a game.”
“Twenty-four hours,” Evan confirmed.
“Damn it! I hate that one.”
“So, you’ve heard it before?” Evan asked. Maybe he wasn’t as weird as he thought. Evan knew there was no truth to the superstition, but he’d literally never had sex twenty-four hours before a game. It was now his thing.
“In college. One of the assistant coaches tried that on us. It didn’t work. We’d been playing for too long by the time he tried that with us. Plus, sex! Who doesn’t want to have sex all the time.Hey, wait! You gave me orgasms!”“Yeah, it’s only a rule for me. I can make you come over and over but no orgasms for me,” Evan said.
“Fine!” Nix flopped his arms over his head. “But I will be getting my mouth on you once we win tomorrow! You have been warned.”
And now Evan was hard. Damn his boy! And Evan’s superstition included not jerking off. “I need to go. I still have to pack.”
“You’ll come get me in the morning?” Nix asked.
“First thing. I’ll even make sure we have time for breakfast.”
Pushing up, Nix captured Evan’s mouth with his own. Nix kissed him like he was never going to see Evan again. Evan drew back slowly. “I’ll be back before you know it. Sleep good.”
“You too,” Nix offered before lying back down.
