Seg glanced over at the man. "I wasn't nervous. Until you asked me that."
The horrified expression on Gannon's face was amusing.
Cam laughed, putting his arm around Gannon's shoulder. "Leave the poor guy alone. It's just the playoffs. No biggie. Just another game."
Seg snorted. "Exactly. No biggie."
"Really?" Gannon appeared confused.
"Of course it's a biggie," Seg's mother called from where she sat at the patio table, Liam in his high chair beside her. "It's the playoffs, you goofs. The Arrows are going all the way this year!"
Grinning, Seg scanned the people standing around. They'd all come over for dinner as a way to celebrate the fact that tomorrow was the first game of the playoffs for the Arrows. Everyone was there. Cam and Gannon, Noah and Dare, Hudson and Teague, Daniel and Lydia, Milly, AJ, and Miranda, as well as Seg's mother, who had flown in yesterday so she could attend the game. Kaufman had stopped by for a few minutes earlier, and Phoenix had promised to stop by before the night was over.
Of course, Seg's mother had claimed she'd only come to town to see Liam. And he knew that was high on her priority list, but he also knew his mother was vibrating with excitement that they were in the playoffs.
"Hey," Roan greeted, coming to stand beside Seg.
He turned to face his husband, grinning. He still couldn't believe they'd tied the knot and he officially got to refer to this man as his husband. March fourth. Their anniversary.
It had been a small but perfect ceremony with only their closest friends and family in attendance. Cam had officiated and the day had been perfect. They'd intended to keep it small and personal, but to Seg's surprise, Cam had reached out to Phoenix, and several of Seg's teammates had come to crash the after party. Seg imagined that day felt a whole lot like what it would feel like to win the Stanley Cup.
"Need anything?" Roan asked, his eyes locked with Seg's.
"You," Seg whispered, leaning in so his mouth hovered by Roan's ear. He lowered his voice even more. "Naked. With your dick in my mouth."
Roan shuddered, pulling back to look at him. "Say the word and I'll send them all on their way."
"My mother's here," Seg reminded him.
Roan frowned.
"We could always sneak inside while everyone's outside," he proposed.
When Roan didn't argue, Seg took his hand, setting his beer on the table. Without saying a word, he pulled him into the house, then led the way down the hall to their bedroom. With a quick flick of his wrist, Seg had the door locked. He wasted no time at all, crushing his mouth to Roan's while he started pulling articles of clothing off. Roan wasn't a wallflower, by any means, and the next thing he knew, they were both naked.
And yes, Seg instantly dropped to his knees, sucking Roan into his mouth as he looked up the length of his body.
"I've been waiting for this all week," Roan groaned.
Seg hated being away from Roan and Liam when he was on the road, but he'd learned that when he came home, Roan usually made it up to him. Since Seg's mother had shown up yesterday, they hadn't had time to play catch-up from the few days Seg was gone.
"Fuck, yes," Roan hissed, his fingers tugging Seg's hair, jerking his head closer. "Fucking suck me."
Seg deep-throated him, his fingers digging into Roan's thighs as he held on to him.
"Can I come in your mouth?"
Seg gave a slight nod, then increased the friction and the movement of his mouth. His one goal was to drive Roan right over the edge.
"Later, I'm going to fuck you in the shower. I'm going to drive my dick deep into your ass … Oh, fuck, Colton. I'm gonna come … Ahh … "
Seg swallowed Roan down as he came on a strangled moan, then quickly got to his feet.
"I think that might've been a record," he told Roan, turning him so that he was facing the bed. "Bend over."
Roan bent over while Seg retrieved the lube from the nightstand. Within seconds he was balls deep in Roan's ass, gripping his hips as he ground his pelvis against Roan.
"Fuck me," Roan insisted. "God, I've missed you."
Seg couldn't speak, his body strung tight as he fucked Roan roughly, pounding into him, his hips jerky, completely out of control. He wasn't going to last, but that was the point of a quickie, so he had no intention of apologizing for it.
Seg heard the back screen door slam shut.
"Better hurry," Roan urged, rocking into Seg.
Seg picked up speed, pounding into Roan, focusing solely on the sexy man in front of him. Seconds later, he soared right over the edge into a blissful climax.
And not a moment too soon.
The doorknob jiggled across the room.
"Seg? Roan? Dare said you better get your asses outside," Teague hollered from the other side of the door.
