I stepped inside, letting the door bang behind me. “Don’t say it like that, man. You sound super creepy,” I said as I walked the whole six feet to my bed under the window.

I had to get in close to him to dump my bag on it. There was only about a foot between the sides of the beds. He leaned back, at least enough so my cock didn’t press into his face.

He turned his away, scowling as a subtle blush dusted his cheeks.

“Are you hurt?” he asked in a slightly less pissed tone.

“What?” I asked numbly.

His head swung back around, and he tilted his chin, looking straight up at me. I could see his mouth moving as he carried on talking, and he was definitely getting annoyed again, but I couldn’t hear him. I was swamped with the realization that I could literally just push at his head and he could take my cock.

Shit, my horny was too strong around him.

I mean, he might hate me forever if I asked him to, but, fuck. He was right there.

“Brad!” he barked, surging upward. “Are you even listening to me?”

“W-What? Yeah, of course,” I blustered, praying he didn’t ask me to repeat anything because I literally had no idea. I threw him a grin, sort of knowing already that he caught me, but I wasn’t sure if he knew why.

I was totally caught by him as he surged upwards, getting right in my space.

My cock pulsed as he was suddenly so close that his scent rode my nose again.

My chest ached, but it wasn’t the worst. I’d crashed full-bodied into Lance, and fell with him onto the ice before we slammed into the barrier. But I’d got him with my right side, and he was probably still wheezing.

Asshole.

I froze as Alex’s fingers suddenly danced up the curve of my bicep. My heart caught at the feel of his hard fingers againstharder muscle. I was only in a tee, still warm from showering after the drills, but Alex’s touch felt so much hotter.

Until he pressed his thumb against the top of my collarbone, and I winced again as he got me good.

“How bad is it?” he asked, his brows knit as he scanned my body like a sexy X-ray machine.

I searched for a reply, but I was totally distracted by the fact that his lips were a couple of inches from my neck. And now his dick was closer to mine as he shuffled around.

It was like he was teasing me.

He wasn’t acting any different, but I was so aware of him that I wanted to step back, just in case I did the thing I’d been thinking about nonstop since we stopped doing the thing.

“It’s totally fine, you don’t need to worry,” I rasped. I tried to say it in my usual ultra-cool way, but I was failing so goddamn hard.

Alex’s gaze swept over the line of my neck, and the big fucking bruise growing there.

I tilted my head back to meet his eyes, my fingertips trembling. Even though it was lame that nerves were kicking up in front of my best friend, I preferred that over him laying into me with one of his ‘reasonable’ conversations.

But his thumb hit just the right spot, and a tight knot that regularly got twisted on my shoulder popped, releasing a rush of pain.

“Fuck,” I moaned, my eyes closing as I reached up a hand and clasped his wrist. Just wrapping my hand around it reminded me of how I grabbed his cock back then. And I needed to beat those thoughts back with a stick if I was going to apologize properly.

“I said it’s fine,” I mumbled, using it as an excuse to look away from him. “You don’t need to worry about it.”

It wasn’t much. He was just bending over me, his angry look eating into me, but it was as sexy as fuck, too.

Alex shifted, his wide chest nearly knocking off of mine as his other hand came up and rested on my pec. I pulled in a breath. I was sure he was going to push me back on the bed and mount me. Or he was thinking about it, at least.

Or maybe I was hoping it, because I’d gone from jealous and possessive to hungry in the space of a few hours. Working myself up during my drills didn’t help, either. He ground against my collarbone with his thumb again, aggressively massaging me, the sting really driving it home that I’d fucked up.

He hummed as he scanned my face, and it was obvious he totally didn’t believe me when I said I was okay.
