“Wow. Hockey players clean up well,” I murmur to Sophie.
She chuckles. “Don’t they? Especially your guy.”
I follow her gaze and see Ryker standing off to the side. My breath lodges in my throat, and my eyes go wide.
Oh. My. GOD.
My brain glitches.
His thick, espresso-brown hair is combed back, and his beard is trimmed. There’s still a healthy sheet of stubble on his cheeks, which I love. He still looks ruggedly sexy but polished too. Especially in that tux.
The dark fabric is tailored perfectly to his broad, tall form—like it was made for his body. He looks more like a male model than a hockey player.
Heat gathers in my core. I can barely take how insanely good he looks right now.
He turns, his eyes snagging on me. His jaw unhinges as his gaze runs along the length of me.
My stomach does a somersault at just how much he likes seeing me in this dress.
Grinning, I walk up to him. “Hey there, handsome.”
Chapter 44
Ryker
Speaking is impossible. I’ve actually lost the ability to form words.
That’s the effect seeing Maddy in that dress has on me.
I stammer for a few seconds, then try again. Still no words, just mumbled sounds.
That hot pink gown clings to her body like it was made for her. The swell of her boobs peeks out the tiniest bit at the top, and the fabric hugs the curves of her hips and ass. I catch a sliver of her leg through the slit.
My gaze snags on her face. She’s wearing this bold red lipstick that makes her lips look even more lush than usual. Her fire-red hair is swept over her shoulder, styled in soft waves.
My dick twitches with how much I want her. She looks like a fucking goddess.
Camden walks up next to me and laughs.
He pats my shoulder. “Let me help you out there, Georgie. The word is ‘Hello.’”
Maddy giggles.
Camden’s smartass comment pulls me out of my stupor. I glare at him until he steps away, then turn back to Maddy.
“You look…” I shake my head, at a loss for words yet again. “Beyond beautiful. Just…holy shit.”
She runs her gaze along the length of my body. “You’re insanely handsome.”
My ego gets a nice boost from the hungry look in her eyes.
The corner of my mouth lifts. “I clean up pretty well, huh?”
“Very, very well.”
The urge to grab her and kiss her surges through me, but I stop myself. We agreed to no PDA while we’re at work, and this is a work event.
I wish I could though. I wish I could grab Maddy and kiss her right here, right now. I wish everyone could see that she’s mine.
