The Boyfriend Zone by Jillian Quinn
Bex curls up on the couch next to me, sipping hot chocolate from her mug. We spend most nights this way now that my schedule has freed up. I flick through the movies on Netflix, unable to decide. It’s been so long since I didn’t have a schedule to follow.
“Would you pick a movie already?” Bex nudges me in the side. “You’re so indecisive.”
I smirk. “Not with you.”
She sets her mug on the table and then climbs into my lap with a sexy look on her beautiful face. “You have a decision to make.”
Bex straddles my legs and throws her arms around my neck. I live for these moments. And not because I’m hard and can’t stop thinking about sex.
“Oh, yeah?” I cup her ass in my hands and squeeze, causing her to squeal. Her reaction makes me laugh. “What decision?”
“Which team do you want to play for next year?”
I stare at her, confused. “What are you talking about?”
“My dad got a phone call earlier. I begged him to let me tell you.”
“Who did he talk to?”
She smiles so much her gums are showing. “An NHL scout.” She jumps, clapping her hands. “Can you believe it? They talked about the fight with Kellan. He was a little concerned about your anger issues.”
My dad assured me I still had a shot, but after getting suspended, I wasn’t so sure I would ever have another chance to play professional hockey. I’d assumed he was telling me what he thought I wanted to hear.
I’m still in shock.
“Pinch me,” I tell Bex.
She pinches the skin on my forearm between her fingers. “This is real, Preston. The Penguins want you.”
My mouth drops. “Are you serious?”
“Why don’t you look excited anymore?”
“Because my dad is the head coach of the Flyers, and the Penguins are our rivals.”
She shrugs. “It will make for interesting dinner conversation.”
“Uncle Tyler won’t be happy either. He’s the Flyers’ GM.”
“Who cares? They’ll get over it.” She hugs me so hard I can’t breathe. “You earned this, Preston.”
