I straddle her hips, settling my weight fully on top of her. “I do not plan on making things weird at work. Do you?”
She shakes her head. “No.”
Even though I have a feeling it will be weird for her when she sees me at work today. Not that the likelihood of the two of us bumping into each other is high, but I have a feeling she’ll still be awkward.
Add this to the list of things I like about her so much.
“Good.” My fingers work open the buttons on her shirt. “Then I am going to fuck you senseless, so I know you’ll have something else to focus on at work.”
Chapter Twelve
TAG
“You know, when you said team bonding, this isn’t quite what I had in mind.”
“What did you have in mind?” I ask.
After another shitty practice, I couldn’t let the team keep spiraling. They’re not gelling, and it’s only going to get worse if I don’t step in and do something.
“I don’t know. I figured it’d be like the things they used to make us do at summer camp. Like trust falls or what have you.”
I laugh. “I don’t think that would work out too well with these guys. We need to build up to that.”
“Smashing things is better?” Jack quirks a brow at me. “Do you think this is going to work?”
I shrug a shoulder. “Fuck all if I know. But it’ll be a start.”
When I first tried to come up with a place to bring the team together, I wasn’t really thinking of a smash room. But the more I looked at it, the more I figured why not try? Bringing a bunch of men together to blow shit up?
Who wouldn’t love that?
I can feel their skepticism as I drop my wallet, keys, and phone into the small lock box. The younger woman who works here is busy handing out face shields—attached to a hard hat—to all the guys.
“You know, I think this could work,” Alfie says.
“Glad you don’t think I’m crazy.”
I grab the proffered shield as I enter the room. This one is more tame than some of the others I’ve seen. Considering we have our first game next week, I wanted this to be a safe event for the guys.
Graffiti paints the wood walls. Old TVs, pallets, glassware, and furniture cover the space. Everything is in here for us to destroy.
A ripple of excitement works its way through the guys as a brief safety demonstration is given.
Mainly, check to make sure you have room to swing your chosen tool before doing so. I can’t imagine getting clocked in the head with a sledgehammer.
Alfie elbows me in the side. “You think you’d want to bring your new girl here?”
I roll my eyes at him. “I never should have told you I was taking her out.”
“I still can’t believe you didn’t tell me,” Jack whispers.
“It’s because you didn’t want to join us that night,” Alfie oh-so-helpfully supplies.
“Wasn’t my fault my train was delayed.”
“Either way, I regret it.” I laugh.
Jack flips me off as we move to a corner to let the guys get a head start. With only so many sledgehammers, they’re going to be taking turns.
