Scott had lost some teammates in a trade the anchors on television had called “huge.” A guy named Burke and another forward had been traded to Tampa Bay in exchange for an enormous Finnish defenseman.
“Matti Jalo,” Scott had said when he’d heard the news. “Wow.”
“He’s good?” Kip had asked.
“Yeah, he’s... I didn’t think we’d get somebody like that. He’s probably the best defenseman in the league right now.”
“Hey, that’s great then!”
“It is,” Scott had agreed. “Shows the management has confidence in us. They just bought us a really nice present.”
“But, uh, the guys who are leaving... Burke, was it? And, um...”
“MacDow, yeah. Good guys. Sucks, but I figured Burke would go. It will be better for him, honestly. He’s not getting time to shine here.”
“So you’re good?”
Scott had smiled at him. “I’m good.”
“Feel like celebrating?”
“Absolutely.”
Now it was just after five in the morning and Kip needed to go to work, but Scott’s hands were on him, and his mouth was nipping along his jawline.
“Call in sick,” Scott murmured against his skin.
“I can’t! And you have a game tonight. You’ll be busy.”
“Go in late. I’ll write you a note.”
Kip laughed. “What would it say?”
“‘Sorry Kip is late, but Scott Hunter was riding his dick.’”
Kip moaned. “God, we haven’t done that. I...Fuck,I want that.”
“Me too,” Scott said, and moved Kip’s hand to his solid cock to illustrate his point.
“Fuck,” Kip breathed. Then, “No. No. I have to go. Not fair, Hunter.”
He got up and got dressed before Scott could convince him to do something stupid like not show up for work.
“I’m not gonna see you until the gala tomorrow night,” Scott sighed. “And even then it will be agony, not touching you.”
“Sexy, though, right? Kinda?”
“Kinda.”
Scott made coffee, as was their tradition, and they drank it together in the kitchen.
“You know it will be agony for me too, right?” Kip said.
Scott smiled sadly. “I’m going to want to leave early. I’ll be making my excuses as soon as I get there.”
“No you won’t. We’ll both have a wonderful time, and then we’ll get back here and take each other apart.”
Scott kissed him, and it was full of promise. When it was over, Kip shivered.
