“I do need you, Trav. Nothing felt normal tonight, and I’m sure it was just beginner’s luck with a new team.”

“I’m okay, Beau. So what’s Chicago like?”

“You’ve been to Chicago. Lots of times. What was the vibe at Replay like?”

“Same as always. I ate some suicide wings with a few fans and watched the game.”

“Did anyone say anything about me?”

“Nope.”

Shaking my head, I consider ending the call to let him chill out a little. I know what he’s doing. He’s got his shields up, being flippant like nothing bothers him. But I won’t hang up. It’s up to me to fix it.

“Trav… I miss you. I miss you bad. I felt like a guest player, not part of the team. They were nice and welcoming, but nothing feels right if I’m not with you.”

“You don’t have to blow sunshine up my ass, Beau. I saw with my own eyes how you played. You did just fine with your new team. Your new forwards are gonna love you.”

I see how it is.

“Video call. Now.”

Trav scoffs. “What?”

“You heard me. Video call.”

“One sec.”

I hear him rustle then my phone prompts me to change to video. When his face comes up on the screen, my stomach flutters and my cock twitches. Fuck, he’s hot and I miss him.

“I need you, Trav. Gonna show you how much right now.”

“How?”

“Take off your clothes.”

His face goes blank. “What?”

“Get. Naked. Now.”

Trav’s eyes heat as he nods, tugging his shirt over his head with one hand. “You getting naked too?”

“I am.”

It’s a challenge, but I manage to tug my sweats down and pull my t-shirt over my head one-handed. When Trav rights the phone again, he gazes at me with those sexy eyes of his, his chest now bare.

“Want to touch you, but I can’t, so you have to do it for me.”

“Fuck,” Trav whispers, sliding his hand over his chest. “Beau.”

“You think I don’t need you? Dude. I’ll show you how much I need you.”

I run my hand down my torso and wrap it around my cock, angling the phone so he can see it. I hear his breath catch, so I turn the phone screen back to my face.

“You make me so hard, Trav.”

“Beau…”

“Let me see you.”
