“Yeah, he and the other coaches headed back to the lake meetup,” Archie replies and gives me a knowing smile. “Where did you run off to?”
“Nowhere,” I quickly reply. “I mean, I was in the washroom and Ethan… Ethan was talking to Phoenix.”
Thank fuck I remembered the restaurant owner’s name in time.
“Join us for a drink?” Hudson remarks.
“I have hockey practice and Jett’s coming to watch,” Ethan comments. “Rain check?”
My friends nod.
“I’m staying around for the rest of the day,” Reese adds. “Hudson and Archie have volunteered to show me around Sutton. Maybe you guys could meet up with us later?”
“Why not?” Ethan replies.
I turn my head to stare at him.
“I thought you werebusytonight?”
Ethan grins.
“I can spare an hour or two.”
I’ll probably be covered in hickeys and more spunk by the time that happens.
Ah.
“Text me later,” I say to Hudson.
“Enjoy hockey practice,” Archie returns with a smirk.
We say our goodbyes, and Ethan steers me back through the restaurant.
“Do you think they know?” I whisper.
Ethan raises one eyebrow at me.
“Oh, they know.”
“Pleased with yourself?”
“Fuck yeah.”
“I’m gonna head back to the dorm and change. I’ll meet you at the rink,” I announce. “And before you say no, I’m getting itchy. So if you want to have sex later, you’ll let me shower now.”
“Alright.”
“Alright?”
Ethan nods, and I wonder why he’s so easygoing all of a sudden.
He walks me back to the dorm, and while I expect him to leave me at the door, he follows me up to my room.
“What are you doing?” I ask.
“We’ll shower together.”
“Later.”
