“So. We’ve got about three hours before we need to leave for the arena,” Jonah said as the rideshare pulled up to the hotel and they got out.

“Yeah?” Felix tapped something on his phone screen. Probably leaving a tip for the driver.

“Uhh, you planning a pregame nap?” Jonah asked as casually as he could manage as they walked through the front doors into the hotel lobby.

“Well, yeah. Like always.” Felix shrugged. “Why?”

“Oh, um. Well, I was wondering if—”

“Hey, how was your date?” Matty jogged up, grinning at them both.

Jonah resisted the urge to smack his teammate. “Our what?”

“Your pregame date. You guys go to the botanical garden and out for lunch together, right?”

“Right,” Jonah said faintly.

Today they’d gone to the Jardin Botanique de Montréal. It was an enormous garden that was part of the Montreal Space for Life—Canada’s largest natural sciences museum complex.

Jonah always meant to come here in the summer and immerse himself in the place when he didn’t have a time limit but never seemed to get around to it.

Still, even the time they’d spent there today was enough to settle the restlessness he’d felt since he’d woken up to Felix looking at him like … well, like he wanted to kiss Jonah.

Jonah might be oblivious sometimes but he was pretty sure he knew what it meant when a man looked at him with his lips parted and his gaze soft but heated.

Jonah would swear that meant kiss me.

He’d just never seen that look on Felix’s face before.

But could Jonah really be sure that was what he was seeing? What if there was even the tiniest, slimmest chance that he was wrong? What if he was seeing what he wanted to see?

“Jonah?” Felix nudged him.

“Huh?” He blinked.

Matty shot him an amused look. “Dude, you better get that head in gear for the game tonight.”

“No, I’m on it,” Jonah promised. He’d get it together tonight if it killed him. “What were you saying?”

Felix tilted his head toward the elevator door he held open. “You coming up to the room?”

“Ye-ess?” Jonah stuttered. Shit. He’d lost his chance to ask Felix if he could have like twenty minutes alone before they took their pregame nap.

Oh well. It wouldn’t kill him to play a game feeling a little horny, right? Some guys swore by it. He’d just never been one of them.

Somehow, Jonah made it through getting up to the room and stripping down to his boxer briefs and into the bed but the moment Felix settled on the mattress beside him, he tensed.

“Hey, everything okay?” Felix asked.

“Just feeling a little tightly wound,” Jonah admitted. Maybe he should hop in the shower and jerk off.

It would still be a little weird but less weird than asking Felix to leave or just reaching down and trying to do it quietly under the covers.

Right?

“Even after visiting the gardens?” Felix teased.

Jonah smiled. “Yeah. A bit.” The gardens had relaxed him but he’d been hyperaware of everything he and Felix did together in a way he’d never been before.
