He grabs my hand right before Allison yells, “I found my other shoe, Momma, let’s go.”
He growls, looking me in the eye.
“Game on,” I say in a whisper while I go to my closet, taking my tan wedges out, bending over just for fun, knowing that he is going to see the wet spot that is now there.
“I’m putting my shoes on. Don’t forget your bag.” When I have both shoes on, I add, “Ready?” I look over at him, hearing him curse.
“Fuck me, she is going to kill me.” He shakes his head, following me to the door. I may have swung my hips a little bit more than usual. When Allison is almost to the car, he yanks me back. “See that hammock, babe? I’m fucking you on that tonight.” He kisses my cheek, jogging to help Allison in the car, making me squirm in my flip-flops.
The backyard is full of people. I think everyone who is associated with this team or the rink has shown up. I turn to Cooper, grabbing the bags from his hands. “I’ll go put these inside. Why don’t you go get a beer and relax?”
He grunts, walking to Tom, accepting a beer, then taking a long pull, still looking at me. Making my way inside, I hear Meghan laughing. Walking into the kitchen, I find her looking out the window facing the backyard.
“What are you snickering about?” I ask, going to see what is making her laugh.
“Your dude has a semi.”
I continue looking at him where I can clearly see his semi, but then he slips off his T-shirt and that is where we both stop laughing.
“Fuck me, big dick, nice chest. Please tell me he has something ugly about him.”
“Um, I hate to say it, but it’s all that good.” I glance over at him, noticing that he is watching Allison to make sure she is okay.
“Bitch, he has an eight pack and the side V. I’ve got some chocolate sauce in the fridge you can borrow.” She turns to me, giggling.
“Meghan, what the fuck are you talking about, woman?” Tom roars from behind us. His suit is hanging low on his hips, his own six-pack on sight, as well as his V.
“Babe, I was just acknowledging Parker’s upgrade from her ex. Besides, I got all the man I can get in my bed.” She walks over to him, wrapping her arms around his neck, snuggling up to him.
He grabs her ass with both hands, lifting her up. “Damn fucking straight you do. I can go upstairs and show you just how much of a man I am.”
“Okay, this is more than my eyes should possibly see. I’ll meet you guys outside. You guys can go upstairs for two minutes,” I say, walking by giggling.
“I need more than two minutes.”
“Really?” I tilt my head. “That’s not what Meghan just told me.”
“You fucking bitch,” Meghan yells just as he stomps up the stairs two at a time, while she is still wrapped around him.
Once I make my way outside, I find Allison, who is in the pool swimming with Cooper off to the side watching her with both eyes while sitting down in a chair. I also notice some of the moms are standing around him, trying to pull him in the conversation. They are also very touchy, which makes me want to growl. He doesn’t even notice what is going on.
“Hey, babe,” he says to me while I walk up to the group.
“What’s everyone up to?” I ask innocently.
“Hey, Parker, we were just watching the kids. We had no idea that you and Cooper were dating.” Sarah looks over.
Sarah is newly divorced as well. No cheating involved, they just fell out of love.
“I guess we are dating.” I kiss his cheek. He tugs my arm till I’m sitting on his knee. The conversation flows as we talk about the kids, their routine, and everyone is happy that school is out for the summer.
I look around the yard, trying to find Matthew.
I spot him surrounded by the guys, but there is one girl sticking around. I’ve seen her around the rink while he’s been there practicing. I make a mental note to ask him about it later. Knowing Matthew he will probably just shrug it off.
“I wonder what time Tom is starting the BBQ?” Cooper asks, trying to get away from the women.
“I think Meghan needed him for something. They should be down soon.” I grab Cooper’s beer, pulling a sip from it. He laughs while he wraps his arms around my waist, making me fall back onto him. Just then Tom comes out with the biggest smirk ever.
“Hey, Parker, how long was that?” He stands back proudly.
“Ummm, a minute and a half, my friend,” I say to him with a huge smile on my face.
