NINETEEN

LANE

I’m not superstitious—not like a hockey player, anyway—but even I’m hesitant to jinx this. I think … I think this might be working. I noticed the shift after the game in Vegas, Oskar lost some of that extravagant personality he always puts on, and now he’s almost subdued.

Well, subdued for him.

He’s humming when I walk into the kitchen and pull out a stool at the counter. “Nice sleep?” I ask.

“Yeah, it was okay.”

“You’re in a good mood.”

“I’m always in a good mood.” He flashes me a smile from where he’s frying eggs. “Breakfast?”

“I didn’t know you could cook.”

He winks. “There you go underestimating my pretty face again.”

“It’s less because you’re pretty and more because it’s been about a month now, and I’ve never actually seen you do it.”

“Yeah, well, we’re on the road half the time, and I’m usually too beat from the season to do much more than order in. Plus, my babysitter has been keeping me fed.” Oskar’s back is to me as he cooks, but even without being able to see his face, I can tell he’s relaxed. There wasn’t the usual derision on the word babysitter, and his shoulders aren’t tight like usual.

My stare slides over his back muscles, which bunch and smooth out as he moves, and it makes me want to crowd up behind him and slip my hands down his sweats. I don’t though. Because I have restraint.

We haven’t had as much sex as I’d assumed this week, but after Vegas and his shift in mood, I’ve left it up to Oskar to initiate things. Unlike him, I can go long stretches of time before the itch becomes too much, and he knows where I’m at with everything. He has the green light, and I’m leaving it up to him to decide when to use it.

If he can keep it in his pants without me having to keep him satisfied, that’s a good thing. Fewer chances for us to get caught. Fewer opportunities for me to get hooked on him. It’s good. All good. Except for the part where I picture him getting it from somewhere else and end up blind with jealousy.

Luckily, I keep those moments to myself.

“Even though you didn’t answer me, I’m going to assume you want some,” he says, that low voice way too sexy for this time of the morning. “How many eggs?”

“Three. I’ll get the coffee.”

“I’d assume you’re being nice, but I feel like it’s more of a self-preservation thing.”

“How so?” I ask.

“Because you don’t trust me not to poison the food, and I don’t trust you not to poison my coffee.” The teasing look he throws my way makes me a little too happy. “Guess we’re just going to have to take that risk.”

“I like risks.”

“I know. That’s why you’re here.”

I pour our coffees, and Oskar steps closer than he needs to take it from me.

“The chances of you offing the star player on the team are slim though. Whereas I’ve wanted to get rid of you since you started this job as my shadow.
