“Sounds good to me,” Colin replied. “All we’ve managed is pizza since I’ve arrived. We’ve been busy with football things.”
My face heated.
“I’ll get the menu,” I said, popping up out of the chair. It fell backward and made a big racket.
Colin raised a brow as I picked up the chair. “Need some help?”
“Nope. I’ve got it.”
I speed walked into the kitchen, making a fool out of myself, but returned quickly.
That was the last embarrassing moment of the evening for me. We enjoyed a casual dinner out by the pool as my nerves settled.
When the evening ended, my parents went inside, while I took Bella for one last walk. Carson headed to the pool house, but I caught him before he closed the door. “Hey, I’m, uh… sorry about all the questions.”
He smiled as he noticed the windows where the lights had just turned on. “Your parents are fantastic, Carson. You’re extremely lucky to have them. And I don’t mind their questions.”
There were a million things I wanted to know about his family, but when he turned his attention back toward Allister, I knew he wasn’t in the mood to talk.
“I’ll see you in the morning, eh?”
I nodded. “Yes. In the morning.”
Colin held my gaze, causing my heart to thump, then closed the door.
Chapter 12
Colin
Carson was unusually quiet on the way to the airport. After last night, I thought we’d broken through the ice. I couldn’t stand the quiet, so I started talking about football.
“I’m curious about something.”
He glanced over at me as we sat in traffic.
“Why are we going someplace hours away to train when we have a state-of-the-art facility here? It seems odd unless we’re going somewhere that has better equipment.”
“It’s about team building. If we’re here, we’re more likely to be distracted by everyday life. If we go away, it makes it easier to concentrate.”
“You boys have an issue concentrating?”
“No,” he huffed. “It’s also so we can gel as a team and get to know each other on a personal level.”
I was intrigued. “Makes sense, I suppose.”
I’d done a bit of personal research of my own into the players on the team, only to discover one of them was openly bisexual and involved with the governor of California. While I would never interfere in another man’s committed relationship, I would happily participate in an open arrangement if invited.
But Carson didn’t know that, so I decided to annoy him a bit.
As he drove through stop-and-go traffic, I flipped through my photos and stopped on one I’d saved, just for this purpose.
I made grunting and groaning noises, then rubbed my cock over my shorts for dramatic effect, before turning to Carson.
“I have a question.”
He darted his eyes to me, then returned them to the road. “No, you can’t jerk off in my car. You’ll get us arrested.”
I raised a brow when he glanced over again, this time ogling my dick.
