“Don’t care,” I reply, nuzzling her neck.
She climbs off my lap now, a smile on her face as she says, “I’ll get the door.”
“Babe,” I plead, reaching for her hand. “How the fuck can I talk to Ethan with this?” I ask, gesturing to my dick which is currently pitching a tent in my sweats.
Lis laughs, reaching for a cushion and placing it in my lap. “There,” she says, and I growl in frustration. “Promise I’ll make it up to you,” she adds, giving me a quick kiss before she walks off to answer the door.
“You better!” I call out, Lis’ laugh echoing back to me.
I hear the door open, the sound of voices, before Lis reappears with not just Ethan, but also Jeff. “Hey,” I say, grateful I have the excuse of my knee, so I don’t have to get up considering the boner I’ve currently got.
“Hi, how’s the knee going?” Ethan asks, shaking my hand before taking a seat on the couch, Jeff doing the same.
“Yeah, all good,” I reply. “Glad I don’t have the crutches this time.”
“Prognosis with it all?” Jeff asks.
I shove a hand through my hair as I blow out a breath. “Pretty good. Got months of rehab ahead of me, but that’s cool, I can handle that. Probably be able to ski by next winter too.”
“Wow, that’s good news,” Jeff says, smiling.
“Yeah,” I respond, grabbing Lis’ hand and pulling her down onto the couch beside me. I drop my arm around her shoulders, pulling her close. “Gonna have to be a downhill skier now though. No jumping for me anymore.”
“I can give you a hand with that,” Lis teases, her hand squeezing my thigh as she gives me a cheeky smile.
Grinning, I lean in and give her a quick kiss, murmuring, “I’ll hold you to that.”
Smiling, Lis turns to our guests. “Can I get you anything to drink?”
“Beers?” I suggest.
“Yeah, I’ll take a beer, thanks,” Ethan says with a shrug, as Jeff nods in agreement.
Lis heads into the kitchen, returning with three beers and a glass of water for herself, before she says, “You want me to?—”
“Stay, babe,” I say, as I tug her back down to the couch again. Whatever this is about, I want Lis to be here for it. I don’t ever want to keep anything from her ever again.
Even if I have no idea what this is about. When Ethan had texted me earlier today asking if he could come over and run something by me, I’d said yes without even asking what it was about. He hadn’t elaborated and he hadn’t mentioned anything about Jeff being involved either.
“So I’m guessing you’re wondering what this is all about?” Ethan asks, sitting back on the couch.
“Well I mean, maybe you just wanted to come see how my surgery went?” I suggest with a laugh.
“Definitely,” Ethan replies, chuckling. “And I also want to offer you a job.”
“What?” I stutter, nearly choking on my beer.
Ethan laughs again, glancing at Jeff briefly before turning back to me. “A job,” he repeats. “As head coach at the ski academy.”
I blink once, turning to Lis who is sitting beside me, her hand over her mouth as she takes in Ethan’s words. “Head coach?” I repeat, turning back to Ethan.
“Yep.”
I let out a quick laugh. “I mean, shit, no offense dude, I know you’re not a skier or anything, but me? Head coach? You sure you wanna do that? There must be plenty of better options out there.”
Ethan laughs again, nodding his head. “Yeah, I’ll give you that, I don’t know much about skiing, but I do happen to know some people who know an awful lot about skiing. People whose opinion I trust very much.”
I turn to Jeff. “This was your idea?”
