“Brunette.”

“Blonde.”

“Brunette.”

“Blondes, but dirty blondes.”

“Both. Preferably at the same time.”

I burst out laughing.

Xander rolls his eyes at the rookie player who gave that answer. He turns to me. “Strawberry blonde. Obviously.”

I go, “Aww.” His girlfriend Sophie, who’s the Bashers team doctor and Coach Porter’s daughter, has the most gorgeous strawberry blonde hair.

Theo skates up to me next. “Brunette,” he says through a knowing smile. I know he’s picturing his wife Maya.

I chuckle. “Duh.”

Blomdahl comes up to me, his eyebrows wrinkled together like he’s deep in thought. “Redhead.”

“Unexpected. I like it.”

Del moves up to me. His signature frown is in place, but there’s a fiery, teasing glint in his eyes. He slowly runs his gaze along the length of my hair.

I hold my breath at how he takes his time looking at me, how it feels like he’s savoring me with his eyes.

He drags his gaze over my face and looks me in the eye. His expression relaxes. His eyebrow lifts right along with the corner of his mouth.

“Blonde.” His voice is low and rough.

And then he winks at me before heading toward the locker room.

My mouth falls open and I let out a shaky breath. My skin is hot and tingly, and my heart is fluttering in my chest.

Holy crap.

My body is going wild just from Del’s gaze.

And in that moment I don’t feel so bad for having a naughty thought about him earlier. Because Del is cool with being a little naughty too.

Chapter 11

Del

I’m barely through the door of the locker room when someone shoves me.

I stumble forward but quickly right myself. When I spin around, I see Theo glaring at me.

“You like blondes, huh?”

He steps up to me, but I don’t back away. I hold my ground.

I glare back. “Yeah. You got a problem with that?”

“Yeah, I’ve got a fucking problem.” He shoves my shoulder, but I stay upright. “You think I’m an idiot? I saw the way you were looking at my cousin, asshole.”

I grit my teeth. “And?”
