“Try it again, Big Deck. Like this.” Savage held up the phone with a cocky smirk, then looked at the camera with confidence exuding from him. “I’m Taylor Savage, and I’m ready to get hit by Cupid’s arrow. Are you the lucky lady who’ll land me? Find me on Meet-Cupid. The official dating app of the Seattle Cyclones.”

I hated this. When the Cyclones had accepted a sponsorship from Meet-Cupid, there wasn’t anything in the plans for on camera advertising. But now that we had a winning record and the app itself was out of its soft launch phase, the higher-ups were ready to really throw some serious cash at the marketing. Part of that was adverts.

“I got it, Savage.” I frowned and snatched the phone from him before giving the cameraman a nod. They gave me my marker and started rolling. “I’m Seattle Cyclones center, Ethan Byrne, and I’m ready to get hit by Cupid’s arrow. Are you the lucky lady who’ll land me? Find me on Meet-Cupid. The official dating app of the Seattle Cyclones.”

“Good God, you sound like a robot. What the hell is wrong with you?” Savage shook his head and stared at the heavens.

“Better than sounding like Austin bloody Powers.”

“Who is Austin Powers?” Our goalie, Konstantin Petrov, strode into the room in all his gear, even his helmet.

“I think he missed the memo about the dress code for today,” I muttered under my breath.

The rest of us were in suits, open collars, watch porn at the ready, looking as cleaned up and dapper as we ever had.

“What the fuck are you wearing, Petrov? This is not a game. We’re shooting a commercial for a dating app, not the NHL.” Savage lost it laughing.

Petrov took off his helmet and frowned. “Coach said come ready for an away game. This is what I wear to games.”

“He meant a suit. Someone needs to teach Coach how to talk to the Russian. He takes everything literally.”

The commercial’s director walked toward our group with a sweet smile on her face. “Everything okay here?”

“I’m sorry. I misunderstood what I was supposed to be wearing.” Petrov had a worried look on his face, like he thought he might get in trouble.

She looked him up and down. “Lose the pads and jersey. You’ll be our man candy spot.”

He cocked a brow and smirked. “Man candy?”

“Yeah. I’m assuming there’s a six pack under there?”

“There is.”

“Man candy it is. Or you can borrow Savage’s clothes if you’d rather.”

“Pass.”

She grinned. “Thought so.”

Savage scoffed. “Why does he get to be the man candy? I’m fucking delicious. Have you seen the state of my abs? He’s got six, but I’ve got eight.”

Our director cut him a sharp look. “You’re done, Mr. Savage. We got what we needed from you. If you keep heckling the rest of your teammates, we’ll have to ask you to leave.”

Laughter escaped me before I could stop myself. “Yeah, Mr. Savage. Stop heckling your teammates.”

“Maybe if you knew how to work a camera you wouldn’t need me to heckle.
