“As if. You’re more than welcome to your relationship.”

I roll my eyes at him and focus back on my cell while I can.

Sienna: Game time is about to commence here. I’ll message when I’m heading to bed and we can talk then?

Calvin King of the ice Keller: I’ll be waiting.

With the smile that Garrett keeps teasing me about firmly on my lips, I make my way to the dining table to start our own, thankfully less energetic, championship.

CALVIN

I’ve had the best Thanksgiving in a very long time. When I walk into my apartment later that night, I’ve got a nice buzz going on, and I’m more than ready to have some one-on-one time with my girl.

Having her involved in our evening earlier was awesome, but it was also the ultimate tease. I was constantly aware that we were both surrounded by people who would more than likely notice if I stared at her for too long.

And now that I’m home, I am so ready to spend the rest of my night with her. I’m incredibly grateful for what she did for me today. I’ve loved spending the day with the guys and their girls, but really, there’s only one person I want to be with right now.

I make my way through my apartment to my bedroom, and, after shedding my clothes, I walk into my bathroom naked.

Calvin: Are you ready yet?

I sound like a whiny child, but I can’t help myself.

She reads it but doesn’t respond before I step under the spray of my shower.

I’ve just covered myself in bubbles when my cell starts ringing.

“Oh fuck,” I cry, trying to rinse the bubbles off me in record time.

I turn the shower off before managing it and rush out of the stall.

I prop my cell on a small shelf beneath the mirror that hangs over my sink before swiping the screen, so she doesn't think I’m not going to answer.

As the call connects, I reach for a towel.

“Hey, are you—naked. You’re naked,” Sienna blurts before slapping her hand over her eyes.

My deep chuckle bounces off the tiled walls as I tuck the towel around my waist.

“It’s okay, darlin’. You can’t see anything,” I say as I reach for a second towel to dry my hair.

“O-okay,” Sienna stutters before pulling her hand from her eyes. They meet mine for a few seconds, and I relax.

Damn, I’ve been waiting for this all day.

“Hey,” I rasp. “Have you had a good day?”

Her eyes drop to my chest before slowly sinking lower. “Yeah, it’s been great. And apparently, it keeps getting better.”

“See something you like, huh?”

“Yeah. I mean, it’s not too bad. I’ve certainly seen worse.”

I laugh, shaking my head at her as I throw the smaller towel onto the rail, grab my cell, and take Sienna with me into my bedroom.

“Do I get a tour tonight?” she asks, reminding me of the one she gave me of her room last night.
