“In a hallway?” I raise an eyebrow.
“It was quieter.”
My gaze slides to Emmett. “Captain. Getting some air, too?”
“Something like that.” His voice is remarkably steady for someone who was grinding on my sister thirty seconds ago.
I look at Jo for a long moment, she knows I know. I know she knows I know. “We’re leaving in ten minutes. The boys want to hit another spot.”
“I think I’m going to head back to the hotel,” Jo says.
“Me too,” Emmett adds. “Early flight tomorrow.”
My eyebrow climbs higher. “Right, well, don’t do anything I wouldn’t do.”
I turn and walk away, giggling because my sister and the grumpy captain are getting it on. She deserves nothing but happiness, and if it’s a hockey player who can give that to her, then so be it.
Jo catchesup with me outside, and we walk back along the strip to the hotel. The Vegas lights are blinding, the air is warm, and there are people everywhere. I link my arm through hers because she’s my sister, and whatever is happening with Emmett, I’ve got her.
“Do you want to talk about what I just walked into?”
“No.”
“That was incredibly stupid. Our brothers could have walked around the corner at any moment. You didn’t look as innocent as you thought you did,” I tell her.
“I don’t know what to do. The tension between us keeps building, and neither one of us can seem to stop it.”
Been there, girl.She seems to be giving in to it.
“At least it’s not one-sided. But you two are playing a dangerous game,” I warn her.
“I know. I need help. You have to help me stay away from him,” she begs.
“Do you think that’s even going to work?” I don’t look convinced because I know firsthand that staying away from someone you want doesn’t work. It just makes it worse. Trust me on that.
“I don’t know. But I have to try … again.”
“Or you could just embrace whatever it is between the two of you. Talk to HR and let them know you two are dating and everything is okay,” I suggest.
“We haven’t even got that far. We are not ready to date or make anything public. I don’t even know if I want to date him or anyone.”
“Really?” I’m surprised.
“I don’t know. I’m confused.”
“No shit, you’re confused. Look, from what I can see, you two have physical chemistry …” I give her a look. She rolls her eyes. “But I understand if you’re not sure if it’s just physical or if you connect on something more. Do you like him?”
“Yes.”
“Do you like his dick?”
“Lettie!”
“Hey, I’m just asking. It’s important.”
“Yes. I think so.”
I giggle. “You haven’t tried it again since London.” She shakes her head. “Ah. I see now. You’re horny.”
