CHAPTER THIRTEEN

MASON

After a few hours of video gaming, we decided to take a break and order some pizza for dinner. I sank into the couch and planted my hand on Jett’s thigh as he sat next to me. I was damn proud of him. He’d taken more steps in the last few days than I’d thought possible on his journey to being his true self. Okay, and for us to become the new out and proud couple in the NHL? Hell yes.

He sipped his beer and beamed at me. “This is nice.”

“Yeah?” Leaning in, I pressed a soft kiss on his cheek. “Tell me more.” I wanted to know all of it because I didn’t think I’d ever seen him as happy as he’d been this afternoon with the squad. I glanced behind me at the guys, all chatting over Archer’s phone in the kitchen about what pizzas to order.

“I don’t know, being with you like this, with people around. Not having to hide my feelings. Being with like-minded people and all hockey players.” He smirked at me. “Shall I go on?”

“You can if you want. But I’m happy with the response so far.” I twined my fingers in his and held his hand to my chest. “I like this side of you.” I took a hard swallow. Oh shit, my feelings were about to spill. “I like you, Jett. A lot.”

He raked his teeth over his lower lip, gazing deeply into my eyes. “I like you too. A lot.” He quirked his lips.

My chest bloomed with warmth, and I inched closer to his side. Should I formally ask him to be my boyfriend? I darted my gaze across his face. No, too much too soon. But I certainly would be asking someday.

Leo dropped in next to Jett. “We got a meat lovers pizza and two with everything. You both good with that?” He raised his brows.

“Sure.” Jett’s attention shifted to Leo. “Hey, can I ask you a few things?”

“Yes.” Leo studied him. “Anything you want.”

“You weren’t open about your sexuality until recently, right?” Jett toyed with a fold in his shorts.

“Yep. I only told my family about me after I started dating Archer.” Sucking in a breath, he glanced behind him. “My family situation was complicated. My brother is gay, and he’s always been out.”

I lowered my brows. “Were your parents dicks to him?” Come to think of it, Archer had never explained the whole story to me, only to Jonah.

“No, well, my dad was pretty shaken up, but he never let my brother, Axel, see it. I did though.” He pressed his lips together. “Because Axel was gay, I felt like I had an obligation to be hetero, you know? Like there could only be one gay son.” He shook his head with a huff. “I was afraid me being queer would upset some dynamic in my family, and being bisexual, it was easier for me to date only women.” He clenched his jaw. “But then I kept wanting to be with men.
