Chapter Sixteen

Detroit was cold as hell.

Not that it had been particularly warm anywhere Scott had been lately, but Detroit was unreasonably cold.

It ruined his plan of going for an evening stroll while he called Kip. His roommate seemed to be settled in for the night in their hotel room, and the lobby was oddly busy due to some kind of business conference. He didn’t want to go anywhere too public, like a coffee shop, because Detroit was a hockey town and he would almost certainly get recognized.

He decided to play the fame card.

He went to the front desk and gave them his best Scott Hunter smile. “Excuse me. I was hoping you might be able to help me.”

The young man behind the desk looked very excited. “Of course, sir!”

“I need to make a phone call and I was hoping for some privacy. But my roommate is asleep and...”

The young man smiled at him as if he were about to do a very big favor for him. “Come with me,” he said. “I know where you can go.”

He led Scott to a door that said Meeting Room #3 on it. He unlocked the door and turned on the light. “Stay as long as you need,” he said. “The door will lock behind you.”

“Thank you,” Scott said, glancing at his name tag, “Michael.” He handed him a twenty-dollar bill, and Michael took it, beaming. He thanked Scott twice before leaving the room.

Scott sat in one of the meeting-room chairs and called Kip, who picked up right away.

“Two wins. Nice job,” Kip said.

“Yeah, thanks. I’m proud of the guys.”

“I love watching you play.”

“Oh yeah?”

“Mm. It’s sexy.”

Scott grinned. “Where are you?”

“I’m in your bedroom. Where are you?”

“A hotel meeting room in Detroit.”

“Oh.”

“Yeah, sorry. Not tonight.”

“That’s okay. I’m snooping around your apartment.”

“Snooping?”

“Yeah. Looking in your drawers.” There was a pause. “Oh my god. Scott, do you keep your gold medal in your underwear drawer?”

“It sounds like you already know the answer.”

“Why isn’t it on display?”

“Like where?”

“I don’t think I’d keep a gold medal in my underwear drawer if I had one.”

“Where would you keep it?”

“I don’t know. I’d probably wear it all the time!”

Scott laughed. “It goes with everything.” Then, “So you’re staying at my place tonight?”

“Yeah. If that’s okay.”

“Of course it’s okay. It was my idea!”

“I know. It just...seems generous.”

“Kip,” Scott sighed, “you’re my boyfriend. I’m in love with you. You can stay at my place whenever you want.”

“Okay. I love you.”

Scott smiled. “I like hearing you say that.”

“I like saying it.”

“I can’t wait to be back home with you.”

“Still got a lot of games to go there, Hunter.”

“I know.”

“You win ’em all and then come home to me. I’ll give you whatever you need when you get back.”

Kip’s voice had gotten lower, and Scott shivered a bit. “Whatever I need, eh?”

“Mm. You think about it.”

“I will.” He exhaled. “Fuck, I wish I had my own room tonight.”

“Me too. Coulda put on a show for you.”

“I want to do that,” Scott said. “For you.
