Chapter Fifteen

Regan grinned at Tierney pressing buttons on her microwave. The dim cook light above the stove highlighted her old bulky bathrobe that had once been white. Her thick hair flopped over to one side like a bad blonde toupee.

“Super hot, I know,” Tier said, swinging the tie on her robe.

“Like a sixty-year-old tiger costume,” Regan teased.

Tierney’s gaze lowered, taking in Regan’s barely buttoned white dress shirt and black boyshorts and nothing else. Keeping it classy for New Year’s Day night. They hadn’t had much use for clothing for the past few hours.

It’d been the longest time they’d spent together lately, and she was completely sated. Tier was too by the content look on her face. The fact that she’d offered to make them tea rather than kick Regan out said a lot. A successful mission to take her mind off not being with Hope today.

Regan leaned against the counter, crossing one leg in front of the other. Tier didn’t miss it. “Cut it out,” she laughed. “You know how good you look.”

“Do you have a sexy robe like that I could borrow?”

“No, just the one. Which is why you’re being treated to the frazzled mom look.”

“I don’t mind.” Regan tugged on the tie. “Robes can be easily removed.”

“Uh-huh.” Tier opened a thin cabinet next to the microwave. “You were saying something about your brother. He has a crush on one of your players?”

“Oh, yeah. I caught him texting with Gina Morales on Christmas.”

“Really?” She pulled out a box of herbal tea.

“I connected them to talk about non-profit stuff, and they kept talking. Then it made sense why he wanted to go to Boston. Not to watch me coach.”

“To see her.”

“To meet her in person. They really hit it off. Gina’s actually in Chicago right now. They’re spending New Year’s together to... I don’t know. See what happens, I guess.”

Tier set two tea bags on the counter. “Do you mind?”

“Shit no. I love Gina. It’s a good match. They’re both hilarious and sarcastic.” Regan laughed, then added, “But man, he’s gonna have his hands full. I warned him she’s a tough cookie, but he likes how feisty she is.”

Bryce was cool with Gina being aro and ace. Regan had long suspected he might be a bit gray ace, but Bryce had never felt the need to define himself. He’d often joked his sex drive was so low, it dragged behind him like the muffler on his first car.

“It’s not a problem with you being her coach?” Tier asked.

“Not to me. We go back a long way from my playing days. Her family’s the best.”

“Have you said anything to her? If that’s even appropriate.”

No surprise Tier would be concerned about any impropriety. “Oh, I teased her about it. She texted back I’m her coach and it had nothing to do with on-ice performance.”

“So, mind your own business.”

“Yup.” Regan quirked her eyebrows. “That’s why they didn’t tell me. Bryce said he knew I’d be insufferable, which I absolutely have been for the past week.
