His jaw ticks. “You’ve been paying attention.”

And then some...

“I get it,” I argue. “You’re the least amenable person to accept a bodyguard.”

“Sounds like we agree on something.”

“It’s not about a person’s strength. Your job is to play hockey. Not watch crowds for danger and tackle outside threats on your own.”

“Strength is my brand. My fans expect me to handle anything thrown my way.” As he moves, his hospital gown tightens at the waist, outlining a long, swinging cock between his thighs.

Hot. Damn.

“Even if it keeps you off the ice?” I approach Max to help get him back into the bed. “Now lay your ass down, Captain. Your coach assigned me to protect you. I’m not going anywhere. Quit trying to get me to compromise my job.”

“Fine.” He reacts to my toneandmy argument.

“Thank you.”

Groaning, he pushes the cover aside and barks when I try to help.

“I got it.” He turns, and the open back of the gown reveals a taught, sculptedbareass.

My cock thickens instantly.

Fuck.

Tucked back into the bed, Max clicks off the light, darkening the room to the point I can’t see. My eyes not adjusting, I bump into the bed. I grab the nearest thing my hand can find so I don’t fall, which happens to be Max’sthick thigh.

“Hey!” he snaps.

“Sorry. You cut the lights. I can’t see.”

“You’re a pro. Deal with it.”

“I guess you like it in the dark,” I say with gravel in my tone.

That’s the last thing I’d want if I had this man naked and laid out. I don’t bang straight guys who need it in the dark to get off because it’s a kink. But I’d make an exception for Max. Everyone has a star-fucking fantasy. And he’s mine.

“Like it? What’sit?” It took a few seconds for Max to catch my pun.

“Use your imagination,” I say, settling into the chair.

At least with the lights off, I can close my eyes and catch some sleep.

SEVEN

Max

Iwake up in a cold sweat, and everything hurts. But my cock throbs with need. Cracking open one eye, the light in the room startles me.

The smell.

I’m not home.

Oh right. I’m in the hospital.

Fuck.
