“Then I hope you guys win tonight, because this was hot.” Bay smiles.

“It was the best sex I’ve ever had,” I admit, easing Bay back onto her feet. “But now, let’s get dressed and sneak you out of here, before we get caught.”

As if summoned by my words, footsteps echo in the empty locker room, as the door slams shut. The noise is coming dangerously close to our shower cubicle.

Thank fuck Bay is too short for her head to be visible from the top of the door. But I step in front of her, shielding her with my body to make sure that she isn’t visible if someone decided to be a nosy motherfucker and pop their head in.

“Hey is anybody here?” Ryker’s voice is coming closer and I shift just a little more, positive that even if he looked inside, all he would see is me and Bay’s feet peaking from behind me.

“Jagger?”

I see Ryker in our team’s charcoal suit and expensive dress shoes.

“Hey,” I say sheepishly, pushing Bay a little further behind me. She isn’t a bunny and I don’t want this to get out. Gossip is vicious on campus and Bay has had enough scrutiny after the end of her high profile relationship with Topher last spring and now the fire at the Zeta house.

“What are you doing here?” he asks.

I roll my eyes, but Ryker is new here and maybe he missed the part where the bj had to happen in here. “I was taking care of ending our losing streak, remember?”

Understanding flickers in his eyes and a smile curls his lips. “Oh yeah. Sorry, I forgot. Give me five minutes to change into my workout clothes and I’ll go to the gym to start warming up on the stationary bikes, so you and your… friend can have some privacy.”

After he walks away, we wait until we hear the locker room door slam shut.

I walk Bay to my locker, picking up her sexy blue dress from the floor. “Here. If you get dressed, I’ll walk you out.”

She looks a little worried. “Do you think Ryker saw me?”

“No,” I reassure her.

“I’m not ashamed of this,” Bay says after a moment of silence. “I just think it’s better if we keep it between us. You know, the entire rebound thing too.”

I agree with her. “You got it. This is fun and I’m sure we both can do without the drama if Candace found out. Not that I owe her anything, but…”

“She’s a Zeta,” Bay finishes for me. “And it’s the same thing with Topher. I owe him nothing but you two are teammates and frat brothers and we all live together now.”

I change into my warming up gear as Bay gets dressed. “You can go directly into the arena from here,” I walk her to the players’ entrance. “No one will get on the ice for at least one hour, so you shouldn’t bump into anyone.”

I squeeze her hand as she raises her face to look at me. Fuck she’s so beautiful.

“Good luck tonight.” She whispers.

“See you at the house.”

I stay behind in the hallway watching her turn to take the staff exit to the area behind the boards rather than the players’ one to the ice.

My mind is completely blank because Bay’s ass is fucking spectacular in that tight blue dress.

RYKER

We don’t win.

We destroy Bridgeport U.

Granted these aren’t Brideport’s NHL team, the Warriors, but they’ve always been known as a tough team to beat.

The moment we take to the ice, things go our way.

I win every face-off, Madden and Kelan—who took the spots left vacant by Luca Rossi and Blaze Dunn—are always where they need to be, ready to assist or to deliver punishing slap shots that challenge Bridgeport’s goalie from the get go.
