“You don’t appear to be aware the photo is being taken,”Dad says.“I think that still makes you a gentleman.”
Skylar and Rhodes introduce themselves to my family, while I wait for my body to catch up to the fact that I’m fine. I’m not in trouble for being an adult and private, and they’re not upset with me.
“Well, at least your dick wasn't hanging out,”Dad mutters. Skylar snorts in amusement, and my father grunts as my mother smacks him with something that sounded like a rolled up paper. “Honestly, since when are you hounded by paps, Koen?”
“It’s a recent thing,” I grumble. “I’m usually left alone. I think he got a lead and was following up on it. I have several more volunteering events, but I’m not sure how we’ll be able to keep the press out.”
“Edna, if she keeps her job,” Skylar grimaces, “mentioned teaching kids to skate. We should move that to our practice rink so we can close down who attends. I don’t think it would be a problem to invite a few members of the press to photograph the event.”
“The paps will always complain we aren’t accessible enough. I just dislike how they never get my good side,” Rhodes complains.
My laugh is more real this time, and my parents sigh at the sound. I guess I’ve been a little grumpy when I visit with them.
“Your dicks must be magical,” Silvia says in awe.
“Silvia!” I groan, shaking my head. “Rhodes doesn’t need any compliments.”
“Shh. Yes I do,” he grins.
“Koen, we want to see a game soon when we’re next in town,”Mom says.
“Ah, when will that be?” I ask.
I wasn’t aware they were planning a visit.
“Three weeks from now. You have home games, right?”Mom asks.
“Since when do you know my schedule?” I ask, leaning forward to check Coach’s calendar. “Yes, I do have home games then. I’m traveling at the beginning of that week though.”
“Good. I want to come visit you and do a motherly visit to your apartment,” she says.
“Ah, my apartment flooded,” I explain. “Someone broke in and turned all the faucets on and walked back out. I couldn’t save anything. I actually need you to send me some pictures of the family because they were all destroyed.”
I can’t tell her they were stolen, because my ruined apartment already sounds pretty dramatic as it is.
“Oh my god,” Silvia gasps. “Where are you living?”
“He’s living with us,” Skylar says. “We bought a new house and there’s plenty of room. Coach also volunteered our house.”
I side eye him because I still think it was very convenient that Coach decided this, but I’m happy now with the decision.
“Hmm,” Dad grunts, showing he and I are of one mind.
Maybe I won’t tell him about them tying me to the bed. I can still keep the kinky shit private.
“I still think we’ll visit,” my mother says, making Rhodes stifle a smile.
“We’ll be looking forward to it,” Rhodes says. “I’ll also make sure we arrange tickets for you. Silvia, are you coming too?”
“I think I will,” she says. “Thank you.”
Saying goodbye to my parents, I groan once the call is over.
“I think I built this up way bigger in my head,” I admit.
“Everyone does,” Skylar says. “It’s human nature. Also, while it’s a really fucking hot kiss, no one’s dicks are out. That’ll makethe press conference easier. Now, we need to decide how we want to play this.”
“Shit, we didn’t tell your parents we’re scent matches,” Rhodes groans.
