Quarters were cramped at my condo now that Spencer's stuff was slowly creeping in. While I liked the fact that he was spending so much time at my place, we really needed to be in a bigger space like at his McMansion.
But if I wanted to actually spend the night on Spencer's super plush California king bed, then we needed to get Carter out of Spence's house.
I hated the fact that Carter made me his de facto project manager for his house renovation. Between my real job and making sure four professional hockey players wouldn't starve, forget their clothes, and gigs, and God knew what else they came up with, I didn't have time to chase down construction crews or hunt down permits.
As I was going through emails on my laptop, Spencer came downstairs all shirtless. He had a smile on his face. "Please tell me that you're working on getting Carts out of my place."
I giggled and grabbed the t-shirt that was on the chair beside me, "Put on a shirt."
He easily caught the shirt, but he just stared at me. Waiting for my answer.
I quirked an eyebrow. I could barely think with his six-pack staring at me, and I had work to do. He slowly covered his abs with the shirt.
"Yes and no. I finally have dates from the contractor to finish the bathroom, but thanks to all the delays, we need to renew the building permits."
"Damn. So we'll have to continue hanging out here."
That hit a chord. Yes, it was smaller, and I was itching to spend some time at Spencer's place, but my place was still damn nice.
As I slugged him, I said, "Dude, don't knock my place."
He held up his hands and said, "I meant no harm. But you've been bitching about how small the bed is with the two of us. I have no qualms being here as long as you’re mine."
Chapter 24
Spencer
Idove across my bed to grab my phone in hopes that it was Natalie. I hadn't heard from her for a couple days, and I didn't want to be hounding her since I knew she had been so damn busy.
Thankfully for me, it was my beautiful girl ringing me up. I eagerly accepted the Facetime call from her.
"Hey you." I then leaned back onto the padded headboard. I purposefully showed off my naked abs to her.
She shook her head, "The amount of time you spend tarpless is ridiculous."
I chuckled. I was in for the rest of the night. Why wouldn't I be comfortable? Me discarding a shirt at a moment's notice couldn't have been news to her.
I couldn't help myself, and I told her, "Talking to me in hockey is one of the sexiest things in the world."
Her face distorted, and she was clearly not impressed with my assessment, but I didn't give a damn. It was sexy that she knew hockey slang. How many girls out there knew that tarpless meant being shirtless or that we all play hockey in a barn.
"You have low standards."
I shook my head since that was ridiculous. Okay, there was a period of my life where I had low standards and would fuck anything possible, but that was just me being a brash rookie.
After realizing how easy the sex was, I knew to be pickier. Plus, none of the girls ever held a candle to Natalie. She was a goddess both in and out of the bedroom. She did what so few people would do, give me sass back.
"I don't have low standards. I've been holding out for a girl like you." I put a hand behind my head and leaned back a little more. "Please tell me that my reward for winning the game tonight is a little phone sex."
Her nose got all scrunched up, and it looked adorable if the idea of some phone sex wasn't as appealing.
It wasn't my first choice either, but what else could we do? I was in Chicago for the night and then we were off to Detroit and some other city after that. Probably Minneapolis, but I only tried to focus on one or two games at a time. But I knew this was one of our longer road trips, and I missed my girl.
"I'll try, but I'll probably be terrible at it."
I smiled. I couldn't imagine her being terrible at anything. However, if there was one thing I'd learned over the years, being sexy was more about being confident than almost anything else.
"Baby. Don't even think about that. How about this, I talk through some of it?"
