Story: Perfect Deke

If Jessie Callaghan thinks he’s extending his top goal-scoring lead tonight, he can think a-fucking-gain.

Jon’s former Seattle teammates, especially Jessie Callaghan, will be well up for handing our coach and team our asses on a silver platter. Today’s game is huge, and I need to get up and start preparing, but for the first time in my life, hockey is a distant second to the girl snoring lightly in my bed.

Our bed.

This is where she sleeps from now on.

Me

Callaghan is definitely thinking it. Probably got one eye on a hat trick.

P.S. typing with one hand is difficult.

Sawyer

I’m sorry, what?

Shit. I start typing another message. My one thumb moving at a snail’s pace across the keyboard.

Archer

Whoa, whoa, whoa. This isn’t actually OnlyFans, you know? Put that away.

Me

LOL. No, my other hand is under Kendra.

Sawyer

I’m calling my agent and putting in for a trade. I didn’t sign up for this.

Archer

Bro, even this is a bit much for me.

Me

NO! I mean, she’s literally sleeping on my arm, and I don’t want to wake her, so I’m typing with one hand.

Archer

Simp.

Me

I fancy myself for a goal or two today.

Archer

Sounds like you’ve already scored.

Sawyer

Give me strength.

Jack, I know I’m the C and should be all words of motivation, but good luck finding a way past Jensen Jones. He’s currently trying to beat his own shutout record in his last pro season. Can’t see him making an exception for his former captain’s son. Knowing him, I bet he’ll go harder.
