CHAPTER 16

IMIL

“You let him tuck you in?” I had to pull the phone from my ear at his loud hiss.

“I was tired.” I looked around my room for my socks.

Milo huffed. “I’m sure you were. Do you have Gerard?”

I looked at my carry-on. “And Archie.”

“Daaaammmn, Cutie Daddy’s got game!”

I lifted my jacket from the bed and found my socks under it, then sat to put them on. I wasn’t going to tell him Blaise had called me just before six to make sure I was up. He mentioned remembering we were flying out and wanted to make sure I was awake, he’d also said something about talking more about the night before. At least that conversation was going to wait until we got home. I was not talking about it over the phone while we were out of town.

“What the hell are you yammering about?” I was not addressing the Cutie Daddy declaration. Our conversation hadn’t progressed to if we would be compatible. Actually, once I’d vented my feelings, I’d crashed hard. Until I’d gotten so exhausted, I hadn’t fully appreciated just how tiring carrying my secret had been for so many years. Of course, he’d told me he’d see me today, but I’d forgotten we were flying out for the weekend.

“You had Gerard and Archie before I reminded you. Next thing I know, you’re going to tell me you already put your tie on and your bags are by the door.”

There was a one hundred percent chance that I took pleasure in informing Milo that yes, my tie was on and my bags were packed. The silence on the other end of the phone as he struggled to find words brought me way too much pleasure. “Bedtimes are good for you, Immie.”

“Shut up. I’m a professional hockey coach. I sleep in the off season.”

“Or when your Cutie Daddy tucks you in.”

I zipped my carry-on with more force than was needed. “Would you stop calling him that! His name is Blaise. And he’s not my Daddy.” At least not yet. “I need to go.”

“Wait, wait, wait. At least let me run down the checklist. I don’t know what I’ll do without going through this with you. Gerard?”

“I already said yes.”

“Archie?”

“Are you deaf?”

“Coat and tie?”

“Yes.”

“Dress shoes?”

“… Yes.” Now I was getting annoyed. But at least that should be the last question. I opened my mouth to say goodbye but Milo spoke before a sound came out.

“Condom and lube?”

I nearly dropped my phone. “What?”

The shrug and unsaid duh were clear, even through the phone. “Don’t what me. You’re going out of town and your Cu—Blaise—will be there!”

“Blaise rarely travels with the team. The only reason he went to Carolina with us is because his mom lives there. He’s never been west with us, especially to Colorado.”

“A boy scout is always ready.”

Rolling my eyes—and refusing to tell him that there were always condoms and lube packets in my bag, if not for me then for one of the other guys in a pinch—I settled on groaning into the phone.
