Page 105 of The Head Game

With a sigh, he picked up his chopsticks and lifted a piece of Nico’s sashimi to his mouth. “Here.” He thrust the food toward Nico’s lips but he shook his head.

“I think it would be easier if you used your fingers too. Besides, won’t it be so much more romantic?”

August gritted his teeth. Yes, he totally deserved to have Nico fucking with him this way.

He gently placed the piece of sushi between Nico’s lips and he took it slowly, his gaze never leaving August’s. He let his teeth graze against the pads of August’s fingers and let go with a slow, wet pop.

He chewed slowly too, licking his lips after in an exaggerated way. “Mmm, yummy. It tastes so much better from your fingers.”

August looked away, catching an amused glance from Anika, torn between horrified embarrassment, arousal, and annoyance.

On the one hand, August was relieved Nico knew and wasn’t pissed. On the other, this was definitely the worst punishment August could imagine.

“More please,” Nico said. “I’m starving tonight, Auggie.”

Nico repeated his performance with every piece of sushi and by the time they were done, August’s dick was beginning to respond.

It was ridiculous. He shouldn’t have been turned on by it. And yet, the flick of Nico’s tongue and the eye contact still stirred something in August, still made him hot under the collar.

Still made him remember Nico’s mouth on his cock.

Somehow, August made it through Nico’s near-pornographic sushi eating and was grateful when he was finally able to focus on the TV during the second intermission.

But Nico wrapped himself around August and stroked his thigh, whispering words in his ear that made August clench his teeth.

“Good stick-handling skills, hmm?” Nico teased when the announcer used the phrase. “I’d like to show you my stick-handling skills, Auggie.”

Pieter was only a few meters away in an armchair and August prayed he couldn’t hear what Nico whispered to him. Hopefully the volume of the game and the laughter from the dining room table covered it.

“Knock it off,” August gritted out. “I thought you were okay with this … situation.”

Nico slid a hand up the back of August’s neck, making him shudder. He played with his hair, lightly scratching the blunt tips of his fingers against August’s scalp.

“Oh, I am okay with it. And really, I’m just helping out. Making our relationship look more believable, fiancé.” Nico pulled back far enough to smile at him before he leaned in again. There was an evil glint in his eye that made August wonder what else he was planning. “Besides, I said it would be fun for me. Not easy for you.”

August stifled a groan and debated if he should grab a pillow to cover his lap now or wait until it became urgent.

They only made it a few more minutes before there was another innuendo from the commentator. “It looks like he slid right into the guy’s crease there, Steve.”

Nico gave August a filthy look from under his lashes. “Mmm, I’d like to slide into your crease right now, Auggie.”

“I told you to cut it out,” August whispered furiously.

“But how can I when I have such a sexy fiancé?” Nico gave him a sultry look. “I can’t help myself.”

“Oh! Look at that. He shoved that one right through the five-hole!” the other announcer crowed.

August closed his eyes and prayed for strength as Nico sidled closer, caressing his leg. “Reminds me of the night in Evanston.”

How had August never realized how many dirty things NHL announcers said? Or how dangerous they’d be in the mind of someone like Nico?

“You are a menace,” August hissed, crossing his legs so the tent in his trousers was a little less apparent.

But Nico gave him a smug smile, nuzzling closer and speaking directly in his ear. “You brought this on yourself, Auggie. If you want a fake fiancé, you’re going to get one.”

It went on for the rest of the game. The innuendos slowed a little, although by that point, August was too befuddled by arousal to know if it was the announcers being less suggestive or Nico not being quite as quick with the responses.

When the game horn sounded, Florida had lost badly in a huge upset and August sighed with relief. Hopefully the post-game commentary wouldn’t be quite so bad.
