And my dumb heart somersaults when I see three texts from Blake.

You were amazing. Thank you for last night.

I blush and smile.

I'm on the road for the next two days but I'll call you.

Oh, damn. I don't know his schedule at all. I should probably look that up.

I can't stop thinking about you.

Whoa. Okay. I like that. And that's nothing to do with being fake engaged.

I take a deep breath and text back.

Good luck with the games. I think about what else to add. I've never been a hockey WAG before. Should I offer a blow job for every save or something?

I giggle as I hit send. It's silly, but it feels girlfriend-ish.

I get a text back within seconds.

You have no idea how many saves I typically have in a game do you?

No. Sorry.

Well not to be cocky…

Let's just say your jaw can't handle that, sugar. But I appreciate the offer.

Damn. I watch Racketeers hockey and I can't help but watch Blake more than any of the other players. I've always been attracted to him. But… okay…

I appreciate you looking out for my jaw.

How about a good luck selfie? You in my jersey.

I don't have one yet.

It will be at your place around noon.

Okay. I can do that. Let me guess… just the jersey? Maybe in some… interesting pose?

It takes a few extra seconds for him to respond to that message.

I was actually just thinking of you in the jersey. With pants on even. Standing up and smiling your sweet smile. But now that you've offered…

I laugh, but my stomach also feels like I just went over the top of a rollercoaster.

He really did just want a regular photo of me in his jersey? That's… sweet. Ugh. He's not just the grumpy hermit goalie. That's my whole problem.

I can send a variety.

Can't wait.

I take a deep breath and look around.

Blake's out of town but the perk to this new situation I find myself in is that there are still two guys here in Chicago I want to see.

Unlike Blake, Aidan had stayed over. Simon and Aidan and I had gone back to bed, but we hadn't had sex again. They told me that we were just going to cuddle. And then they were true to their word.
