HUNTER
his party blows.
I probably should have stayed at home, but these days “home”
is like living on the set of a Kardashian reality show. Thanks to my
three female roommates, it’s estrogen overload over there.
Granted, there’s a helluva lot of estrogen here at the Theta Beta Nu
house, but it’s the kind I’m allowed to be attracted to. My roommates are all
in relationships, so I’m not allowed to touch them.
You’re not allowed to touch any of these women either…
True. Because of my self-imposed abstinence, I’m not allowed to touch
anyone, period.
Which raises the question—if a tree falls in the forest and you can’t
fuck anyone at the sorority-house party, is it still considered a party?
I curl my fingers around the red Solo cup that my friend and teammate
Matt Anderson just planted in my hand. “Thanks,” I mutter.
I take a sip and make a face. The beer tastes like water, although maybe
that’s a good thing. A nice incentive to not consume more than one.
Morning skate isn’t until ten a.m. tomorrow, but I was planning on showing
up at the arena a couple hours early to work on my slapshot.
After last season’s disastrous end, I vowed to make hockey my top
priority. The new semester starts Monday, our first game is next week, and
I’m feeling motivated. Briar didn’t make it to the national championship
last year and that’s on me. This season will be different.
“What do you think about her?” Matt discreetly nods toward a cute girl
in tiny boxer shorts and a pale pink camisole. She’s not wearing a bra, and
the outlines of her beaded nipples are visible beneath the silky material.
My mouth actually waters.
Did I mention this is a PJ party? Yup yup, I haven’t had sex in nearly
five months and I’m kicking off junior year at a party where every single
woman in attendance is wearing next to nothing. I never claimed to be
smart.
“She’s smokin’,” I tell Matt. “Go make a move.”
“I would, but…” He lets out a grumbling sound. “She’s checking you
out.”
“Well, I’m closed for business,” I answer with a shrug. “Feel free to go
over there and tell her that.” I poke him good-naturedly on the arm. “I’m
sure she’ll view you as an adequate consolation prize.”
“Ha! Fuck off. I’m nobody’s second choice. If she’s not dying to hook
up with me, I’d way rather find someone who is. I don’t need to compete
for a woman’s attention.”
This is why I like Matt—he’s competitive on the ice, but off of it he’s
really decent. I’ve been playing hockey my entire life, and I’ve had
teammates who wouldn’t even blink at stealing another guy’s girl, or even
worse, hooking up with her behind his back. I’ve played with guys who
treat our hockey groupies as disposable, who’ve shared girls like Tic Tacs.
Guys with zero respect and terrible judgment.
But at Briar, I’m fortunate to play with some stand-up dudes. Sure, no
roster is without a douchebag or two, but for the most part my teammates
are good guys.
“Yeah, I don’t think it’ll be too hard,” I agree. “The brunette at two
o’clock is already boning down with you in her head.”
His brown eyes widen in appreciation as they land on the curvy girl in
the short white nightie. Her cheeks flush when their gazes meet and then
she smiles shyly and raises her cup in a silent toast.
Matt abandons me without a backward glance. I don’t blame him.
The living room is packed with girls in lingerie and guys in Hugh
Hefner pajamas. I hadn’t known this was a theme event, so I’m in cargo
shorts and a white wife-beater, and I’m good with that. Most of the dudes
around me look ridiculous in their get-ups.
“Having a good time?” The music is blaring, but it’s not loud enough
that I don’t hear the girl. The one Matt had originally been checking out.
“Yeah. Nice turnout.” I shrug. “DJ is pretty good.”
She sidles up closer. “I’m Gina.”
