Chapter Nineteen

“Want to make a bet?” Noah asked. I was doing my rounds to each room, dropping off itineraries, goody bags with snacks, and miscellaneous toiletries from sponsors. All the players were required to stay in their room for the night, and I was looking forward to a relaxing evening in my room. I even packed my mini vibrator and had plans for some self lovin’.

“I’ve been advised not to make bets with you,” I replied with a wink. He was sharing a room with Joni. I didn’t want to linger again and have him running to Robert, tattling that I was distracting the players the evening before a game.

“Oh, come on. You’ve got good odds!” he insisted.

“Nope. Not happening.” He leaned against the doorjamb, pouting at me. “No. Don’t pout at me.”

“At least hear the terms of the bet!”

Noah needed to lower his voice, or I was going to get in trouble. “I have seven more bags to deliver, and I need to review the menu for tomorrow and coordinate with PR about some interviews.”

“I bet,” Noah said, tapping his chin and looking like he was thinking really hard, “that tomorrow, Robert will dance with the Ice Girls during their opening number.” The Ice Girls were hockey’s version of cheerleaders. They danced and scraped the ice between periods with their massive shovels. There was no way in hell stuck-up Robert Park was going to be dancing with them.

Well, that seemed reasonable. “And what do I get if I win?”

“I’ll buy you a spa day. No expenses spared. Massage. Manicure. Hair. Facial. The whole shebang.”

“And if you win?”

At that question, he grinned mischievously. “If I win, you owe me a favor, no questions asked.”

“A favor?” I hesitated. “Like taking care of your cat while you're on vacation?”

“I don't have a cat. And no questions asked.” He grinned. “Those are the terms.”

I really didn't know Robert all that well, but it seemed like a pretty safe bet that he would absolutely not be dancing with the Ice Girls.

I thrust out my hand to shake on it but pulled back when Noah almost had his hand in mine. “No cheating. No talking to Robert first,” I said, squinting my eyes at him.

“You don't trust me? I'm hurt,” Noah lamented, grabbing his chest in mock distress.

“Not one bit.”

“No cheating, I promise,” Noah said, sticking his pinky straight up. He looked at me expectantly.

“No cheating,” I echoed, intertwining my pinky finger with his. “You're going to regret this,” I teased. “I'm not a cheap spa date.”

“Don't pick out your services just yet, little lady.”

“Get some rest,” I said, putting a hand on his incredibly muscular, well-defined chest and gently pushing him back into his room. “I want you to be fully present when you lose tomorrow.”

“Will the two of you stop flirting already?” Joni called from inside the hotel room. I rolled my eyes as the sound of a massive body shuffling toward me filled my ears. A shirtless Joni came into view, and Noah smirked at me while leaving me to chat with the asshole.
