But he didn’t stop there. Hell no. He talked while he ate. Oh, and he got wing sauce all over his face. He might’ve been a hockey star and drop dead gorgeous, but he loved to wear his dinner with pride.
The worst was when the check came. Instead of asking for separate checks, he took the bill and threw his credit card down.
“What are you doing?” I asked.
“Paying.”
“What the hell are you talking about?”
“You make so many jokes about jail, I figure you won’t want us to get locked up for skipping out on the check.”
“I wasn’t going to say we should skip out on the check, Kayden. I just would’ve thought you’d want me to pay my share of the bill, that’s all.”
“Don’t worry about it. Already taken care of.”
Kayden spoke in a that’s-just-how-it-is tone. Like, he couldn’t have possibly allowed me to help pay for the meal. It was a knock on his pride, I guess. God, he drove me nuts.
It was also one of the most Kayden Preston things I’d seen from my teammate yet.

KAYDEN
Iput my hands on Erik’s shoulders before grabbing his arms and pulling him over to my side. Then I rolled over, climbing on top of him, pinning him down to my mattress. I leaned in, kissed his lips, feeling his naked body pressed against mine.
You’re probably wondering what came of our first real date. Well, this was it. We came home to my place, and my roommate really was gone. Erik De Ruiter can be a flake on the ice but a total demon in the sack. He didn’t stay over—I’d learned my lesson about that—but the rest of our night had been so fucking hot.
I’d started our latest romp by fucking him, just like I had in the locker room. Then he turned the tables, fucking me like he had during our romantic dinner. We’d rested for a while, recharging our batteries, but I could practically taste another round of sex looming.
I don’t care what Erik told you. I don’t care how strong of a front he put up. You can’t hold off sex like that when the temperature was rising. For that matter, no one could turn down sex from me forever, right?
This was during the day. I’d kept the blinds closed and the lights off but allowed enough illumination to see my teammate. I kept him pinned down and prepared to slide into him again, but then he surprised me by flipping me over. Then he jumped on me, pinning me down, just like I’d done to him.
He flashed a mischievous smile that looked out of place on a guy that treated getting into bed like a science project. But it was sexy as hell too. I would’ve savored it in any case since getting Erik to let loose like this sometimes felt impossible.
On the other hand, I couldn’t let him get away with tossing me off of him and definitely not pinning me down. Yeah, I loved getting fucked, but I couldn’t let Erik think he was in charge.
“What do you think you’re doing?” I asked.
“Fucking you. What does it look like?”
“You don’t have your cock in me yet.”
“A formality I’m going to fix right now.”
That mischievous grin widened, looking sexy as ever, when he parted my legs and lifted them a little. Then he spread my ass cheeks and rubbed his big, hard cock in between them. I saw his chest heave as his breathing quickened in anticipation. I tensed up a little, too, but in a good way. Before he could push his dick into me, I rolled out from underneath and tackled him to the bed.
The mattress springs bounced us, and he offered a different smile now.
“NowI’vegotyou!” I said.
We both laughed because we’d basically engaged in a naked wrestling match. But I couldn’t let him get away with what he wanted to pull. I’m Kayden Preston, which means I had to stay in charge no matter what.
“What are you going to do?” he asked.
“I’m going to fuck your brains out, bro.”
“No,I’mgoing to fuckyourbrains out!”
