They watched as Damon tossed one of their players on the ice while Will hurried into the box for a substitution. Will glanced up and waved. Damon turned around and waved as well.
Then he stood on a bench and leaned over the plexiglass to yell, “Stop distracting my players!”
The crowd booed and laughed at her and Jeff, who flushed and tried to sink behind her.
“Tell your boyfriend to watch it. He’s now on my list.”
Marlie chuckled. “Tell him yourself at the party Tuesday when our families get together and throw down. I’m not sure who will win. His mom or mine? They’re about the same size, both pretending to be nice while hiding barracuda-like personalities.”
“Oh, sounds like fun.”
“I can’t wait.”
Since the Mavericks beat the Avalanche two to one, with Will scoring the tie-breaking goal, Marlie decided to give Will one more day to keep his secrets. “Don’t tell Will I know. Let me torment him at the party a little. You owe me.”
Jeff sighed. “Fine.” Then he studied Damon, his eyes narrowed. “How did you know about me and Will?”
“I kept seeing something funny in the way you look at each other, the way he was always suddenly around when you were. It finally clicked.”
“Oh. I tried to be discreet.” He watched Damon. “You sure that’s how you found out?”
“Yeah. Why?”
“No reason.” He gave her a chipper smile, but since he was trying to protect Damon from her wrath, she let him go.
“See you tomorrow. Enjoy your victory nookie.” She grimaced. “Forget I said that.”
He laughed. “Ha! That will linger in your brain forever. Later, loser.” He kissed her on the cheek and left to meet Will.
Marlie joined Damon by the ice and let him grab her hand. He gave her a goofy grin. “We won.”
“Duh. I was there.”
He yanked her close for a kiss. “What do I get for my victory?”
She whispered in his ear.
They made it home in half the time it should have taken them.
The third time Damon shoved himself inside her and listened to Marlie cry out as she clamped around his dick, he came and swore he was officially too spent to take her again. Well, not tonight.
He emptied inside her, so fucking happy at being with the woman he loved.
“Man, I love you.” He kissed her, showing her how much she meant to him as he cherished her kickass body. Finally pulling out of her, he milked the last of his cum onto her belly and rubbed it in.
“Ew.”
“Mine.” He pounded his chest, and she rolled her eyes.
“Really?”
“Hey, that was pretty manly.” He left her, figuratively weak in the knees, and returned with a warm washcloth to clean her up. Then he snuggled into her bed with her, content the kittens remained asleep in their tiny pen and hadn’t seen him defiling their human mom.
She followed his gaze. “We’re keeping them.”
“Yep.”
“Did you set me up? Soften me toward you with the kittens?”
