“It’s okay that you’re obsessed with me. I am your older sister, wiser, a role model, someone to look up to.”
“You wish.” Ethan chuckles, and I join in laughing with him.
“I’ll see if Parker can come over after we’re done helping, deal?”
“Deal.”
I didn’t realizethe chaos that would be Bailey and Wes’s new house. Not the actual house, but everyone who’s here helping them move. It turns out Bailey comes from a pretty large family. She hasn’t been close with them most of her life but has started to work on that relationship. They live in Denver but apparently have made the trip to come here to help.
I’ve met her older brother, Brent, who’s a retired hockey player, along with his girlfriend and her two other boyfriends. Who also happen to be hockey players.
“Hold on, you’re with all three of them?” I ask the beautiful brunette, Chandler, who’s wrangling her two young daughters.
“Yup,” she says proudly.
“You…are…agoddess.Tell me your ways. What did you do? Do you have some sort of magical pus?—”
A hand is over my mouth. “Ignore her, she’s not well,” Parker speaks, and I shove my elbow into his stomach hard enough he lets out a “Oof” noise. But he removes his hand from me.
“I’m fine, but you are my new role model, and I want to hear everything about your life. And how you handle three hockey players, my God.”
Chandler chuckles. “I like you.”
I beam; glad I didn’t scare her away from my rambling. But then her older daughter Evie is running off and getting a little too close to a fence that doesn’t look too stable, and Chandler has to go chase after her.
I’ve also met Bailey’s sister, Brynn, and her husband who’s also a hockey player.
Parker goes to help carry a bed frame and I sidle up next to Sutton who’s too pregnant to be allowed to help with any of the lifting. “I’ve never been around so many hot men, maybe I should start watching some hockey.”
“Easy there, you’re going to make Parker jealous.” Sutton smirks.
“Maybeheshould play some hockey then.”
“Hah, firefighters are pretty hot too. You like him just the way he is, don’t try to deny it.”
I look over to where him and Jameson are carrying a large bed frame inside. Parker’s biceps are flexed, stretching the fabric of his shirt to its limit and I’m close to drooling. It’s true, he doesn’t need to play hockey because he’s damn fine just the way he is.
“You okay?” Sutton nudges my shoulder with her own.
“Ever wanted to go to a sex club?” I blurt.
Sutton sputters, “Nope, I can’t say I have.”
“Hm. I would. Might be fun.”
“You want to watch or be watched?” She laughs.
“Either, but I’m always down to watch a hot couple. I’d watch you guys.”
Sutton shakes her head. “That’s not happening.”
“Why not? Friends send friends porn.”
She hasn’t stopped laughing. “Maybe you can convince Bailey of that.”
“Yeah right, we both know you and Jameson are more into exhibitionism than she is.”
“What do you mean?” She gasps.
