“You don’t have to lie to me,” I say softly as I cup her jaw and look into her eyes. “I know it hurts. That you do everything to make her life easier, so she won’t need to worry about you. But sometimes you wished she’d slow down and notice. Not just praise you for your accomplishments but see you.”

“Hawk?” Her voice trembles as she looks up at me. The lights in here are dim and make her eyes almost appear silver.

“Yeah, Annie.”

“Do you think they’ll notice you?” The question is simple and it pierces my heart. I know what she’s going through because I do it too.

“They do. It’s just not often.” I lift her onto the counter and step between her legs. She puts her hands on my jaw, and I lower my forehead to touch hers. “It’s difficult when you make their lives easy. I’m sure they haven’t forgotten about us. And they’ll be there for the big things.”

“I’ll be here for the small things.” She lifts her mouth and touches her lips to mine. “And the big things and the ordinary things. I want to be with you for all the things.”

Something clicks into place inside me. “I want that too, baby girl.”

Thankfully, the rink is cold as I lower myself onto the seat a little gingerly. Everything aches. They took me every way they could last night. I woke in a tangle of limbs with Damon fucking my ass.

I came so hard I screamed. My voice is a little hoarse this morning even after drinking tea.

“You sure you feel better? You seem a little off still.” Mia sits next to me in the hockey rink. “Maybe you shouldn’t drink at parties if you keep getting sick.”

I haven’t been drinking at parties. I’ve been sneaking away to fuck the Devil’s trio. My pussy clenches, and I almost groan at the ache. Yeah, we might need to take a little break.

“Just a little exhaustion from all the work.” I try to keep the heat from my cheeks.

“You work so hard. We have our history project to do this afternoon. Tell me if you want me to leave you with either or both. Fuck, you want those guys, I’ll negotiate terms for you.” Mia seems a little too eager. But I don’t need anyone to negotiate for them, they’re mine.

“I’m good. Besides, we have the party with Chase tonight.” Also I don’t think I can take another cock right now. But if Cam, Hawk, or Damon asked, I’d try. My insides spark as the guys skate out onto the ice. I could always use my mouth and so could they.

“I know. It’s such a difficult school. It’s a wonder anyone has time for anything but a quickie between assignments.” Mia watches the guys.

“Have you started decorating your room?” I ask, trying to steer the conversation to something besides my guys or the players she wants to fuck. It seems like that’s all we talk about. As I think about it, it kind of is.

“A little.” Mia glances toward me. “Honestly, I’m not very good at decorating. You just moved too, right?”

“Yeah. I haven’t done much. The house kind of runs on its own. I didn’t even have to unpack. It’s so different from what I’m used to. I think they even unpacked the box that didn’t get unpacked the last two moves.”

Damon flies by and shoots a puck into the net. My attention gets captured watching him, Hawk, and Cam warm up. They glide around each other as they skate. So in sync. My insides warm. They definitely figured out how to be in sync last night. I cross my legs, not sure if the ache is pain or want.

“They really are gorgeous.” Mia sighs. “Are you sure you want to give Chase a second chance? Because I’m sure any of them would be better for you than him. Even if it’s only for a night.”

Last night was like sinking into pleasure. Every moment they took me from one orgasm to the next. It was intense, but there were moments where things slowed down. Where it was just me and Hawk and him taking me slowly on the bed, sinking into me over and over. Or Cam and I in the bathroom. He took his time cleaning me up before I begged him to fuck me again. Our eyes locked. Breathing the same breath.

The guys skate back to their bench as they prepare to start the game.

“Hey, Mia, right?”

My blood freezes. My breath catches as my chest tightens.

“Oh, hey, Jackson.” Mia is all smiles. “Are you here to scope out the competition?”

“Of course.” His voice is all charm.

I don’t turn around, but everything inside me wants to run. My finger scratches at my jeans. I can move. I can leave. But then he might get me alone. That can’t happen.

“You can sit next to me.” Mia grins. At least he didn’t sit beside me.

He steps over the back of the seats and sits down, leaning forward to see me around Mia. “Hey, Evan.”
