“Maybe your dick is ugly,” Heath says.
“Fuck off, my dick is beautiful, and don’t pretend like you haven’t seen it.”
“Well, I haven’t, so please, don’t show us.” Adam holds up a hand. Then he looks to me. “It's worth a shot. Charli’s a really fucking cute dog.”
“I just send the pic? No explanation?”
Mav groans, takes my phone, taps something out and hands it back. “I didn’t realize you needed me to do it all for you, Rauthruss. You’re welcome.”
Oh fuck. A pit forms in my stomach as I read the text he sent.Meet Charli (Mav's dog). She likes to cuddle with me.
And along with the text, he sent one of the pics.
“That’s it? That’s the magic? You didn’t say anything about me wanting to hang out.”
My phone pings and the guys all wait for me to read it.
“Awww! She’s adorable. What are you doing later?”
Mav pumps his fist in the air. “And that’s how it’s done, boys.”

The team is lessresistant than I expected about spending a night sleeping on our living room floor. Adam and Maverick go to the store to get groceries. Ginny showed up not long after our house meeting and she and Heath haven’t come out of his room since.
I walk to the front door, phone to my ear.
“I’m here,” she says. “I think. All of these apartments look the same.”
I open the door as Sienna gets to the top of the landing.
“Coast still clear?” she whispers.
“The team should be here in the next thirty minutes or so.” I open my arms and she wraps hers around my waist. She’s still in her workout gear from teaching yoga. “Missed you.”
She laughs softly against my chest. “Good. I sort of missed you too.”
My grin is wide and can’t be helped. “Sure you’re up for this?”
“Are you kidding? A night with the entire hockey team. I’d be stupid to pass that up.” She winks and walks into the apartment.
Who knew sneaking a girl in could be so much fun? We don’t really need to sneak. Not until the team gets here, but we head straight back to my room.
There’s something about trying to keep quiet that makes us both giggle as I shut my door and kiss her.
“I thought you said you needed to study. I brought my books.”
“Later,” I promise.
I frame her face with my hands and back her up to the bed. She falls onto the mattress and I cover her.
At this point we’ve spent hours kissing, and it’s been awesome, but tonight I’m hoping she’s ready for more. My dick kicks against my jeans. Every movement she makes below me makes me harder.
Her hands slip under my T-shirt and roam over my back, pulling me down harder against her. Looks like we’re of one mind—remove clothes, get closer.
I rear back and remove my T-shirt. Her green eyes darken as she checks me out. Taking her hands, I pull her up to a sitting position, take her mouth again, and inch her tank top up. She raises her arms letting me bring it over her head. She smiles shyly as my gaze lowers.
Her bra is hot pink with a little bow right between her cleavage. I finger the delicate knot.
