The Keeper (Playing to Win #1)(53)



When I walk back in, she tilts her head to me.

“What are you doing, hockey boy? I don’t think I can go another round.” Her blue eyes smile at me. “Not yet, at least. Give me a few minutes,” she giggles. And that is so my girl. I just fucked her through three orgasms, and she’s giggling.

I run my hand over her thigh and open her legs. “I know, princess. Just let me take care of you.” I gently run the washcloth along her sex before I toss it to the floor, then climb on the bed next to her, dragging the blanket up over us.

She rolls over and drapes herself over my chest. “Promise me it’s always going to be like this, Easton.”

“Till we’re old and gray, baby. I swear on my life.” I press my lips to her head.

“Those are the only vows I need, husband.”

“I love you, wife.”





Hazey watch is in full effect, peeps. This reporter hasn’t seen our favorite newlyweds together in over a week. Could it be? Has the shine already worn off their union? Or maybe are they just avoiding the spotlight and enjoying the honeymoon period. It’s hard to believe baby Kingston would have willingly skipped every game her hot hockey-god of a husband has played all week. But she hasn’t been to any, home or away. Who knows, maybe she’s got royal princess-level morning sickness happening and can’t get out of bed. I’m not giving up on them yet. #Hazey #bumpwatch #KroyonKroinicles





LINDY





Brynlee



I want a man who’s going to wake me up with a mimosa and call me a queen.





Everly



Bitch - I can’t even get a guy to wake me up with a cup of coffee.





Lindy



Easton woke me up with his head between my legs.





Kenzie



OMG. I just threw up in my mouth.





Gracie



Swallow, sweetie. I’m betting that’s what your brother does.





Kenzie



I hate you.





Everly



Are you and lover boy going to come up for air anytime soon? We miss you.





Lindy



Dramatic much? I’ve been around.





Gracie



You’ve slept at his place for a week.





Kenzie



Still hating you, but need to point out, they’re married. Pretty sure it’s their place.





Everly



So what? We’ve been demoted from roommates to tenants now?





Gracie



Lindy’s right - Dramatic much?





Everly



Somebody’s gotta be.





Brynlee



The family’s been asking about you at the Revolution games this week. Your mom came to both home ones.





Lindy



Yeah. But she hasn’t called me.





Kenzie



Easton said Jace has been better.





Lindy



I think so. He’s accepted it.





Easton and I were thinking about getting a Christmas tree today and decorating it tonight. Anybody want to come over and help?





Everly



I’m in.





Kenzie



Me too. I’m on winter break for an entire glorious month. Halle-freaking-lujah





Gracie



I’ll be there after Nutcracker practice. Tonight’s our first full dress rehearsal.





Brynlee



I’m good. No game and no practice mean I’ve only got a few guys on my schedule today. You need us to bring anything?





Everly



Like air freshener to mask the scent of sex in the air? Or disinfectant for all the surfaces you should probably clean before you put any food out?





Kenzie



Why are we friends?





Gracie



Consider it our good deed. She’s mentally unstable. That makes our friendship kind of like charity.





Everly



Whatever. I’m just saying what you all were thinking.





Lindy



OMG. Bye. I’ll see you tonight.





“Baby. The ceilings in the condo are only ten feet tall. This tree is taller than that.” Easton pulls my white cashmere hat down over my ears and kisses me. “We need to look over there, where the smaller ones are.”

“But I got enough lights and decorations for a big tree.” I fake pout and bite down on my bottom lip until my husband groans. Yup. That always gets him going. His thumb replaces my teeth, and he gets all growly.
