“This. You. The guys.”
“Really?”
I nod, sipping on my beer. “If you had told me a year ago that I would be in this place right now, I wouldn’t have believed you. I was a touch bitter when I first came here.”
Graham winces. “I didn’t exactly make it easy for you.”
“You? Never,” Bode interrupts. “I thought you two were going to kill each other.”
“Hey! We would not have,” I argue.
Marcus snorts a laugh. “You mean before or after the time you two got into a fight?”
“Really. You two hated each other,” Jasper agrees.
“More than I hate my own brother,” Dax tells us.
“Your brother is a shithead and I will die on that hill,” I point out. “Sorry, but when he cheats on my sister, there is no coming back from that.”
The fucker. Duncan played for the Black Diamonds, cheated on Piper, and then was cut because he was sleeping with the assistant coach’s wife.
Real stand-up guy. Thankfully Dax is nothing like him.
Dax sighs. A long-suffering sigh that says it’s not the first time he’s had this conversation. Nor is it one that he wants to be having.
“Don’t worry. I hate him for it too. Among other things.”
“What—”
“Drop it,” Graham whispers to me, ending the conversation.
“Alright boys. I have to get going.” Marcus stands, dropping a few bills on the table. “Drink responsibly, please. If any of you need to be bailed out of jail, don’t call me, Bode.”
Everyone bursts out laughing as the man in question flips him off. “Fuck off.”
“Like I said, be responsible.”
A few more guys come and go as the drinks start to go down easier. Graham doesn’t have more than one, so as the bar getsmore crowded as the night goes on, we decide to leave and walk home.
The night air is cool as dozens of people head toward downtown to party.
“You know. We could always go find our own party.” I snicker, grabbing Graham’s ass as we turn up the road that we live on.
Graham wraps an arm around my waist and tugs me close. “The only party we’re going to have is at home in bed.”
“Fucking finally!” I shout, a little too loud.
“What? Can’t keep it in your pants, Fields?”
“More like you tormenting me all night.”
Graham laughs as our building comes into view. “You know you love it when I edge you.”
Slapping his ass, I hurry us off toward the elevator. As soon as it arrives, I’m on him. Kissing him. Licking his neck. Holding him like I’ll never have to let him go.
“Now who’s edging who?” Graham asks.
A dirty smile spreads across my face. “Suck me off and then I’ll fuck you?”
