The Magic Broom by Teegan Loy Read Free Book Online

Shane’s pocket. Fuck .
The door to the locker room opened, and Shane stepped inside.
“Hey, you missed my shots,” Shane said. “You okay?”
“Yeah, I have everything I need for the story,” Cody said, keeping his eyes fixed on the floor. He didn’t want to embarrass himself anymore. He tugged on the jacket, making sure it safely covered his dick. “I need my phone so I can jot down a few notes.”
“Okay,” Shane said quietly as he quickly handed Cody his phone. He pretended to bang out a few notes, but really he was texting Kira to come save his stupid ass.
The phone buzzed, and Cody stared at the words plastered across his screen.
Take the chance the text said.
Cody frowned and jammed the phone into his pocket. He wasn’t going to take a chance. Taking chances never worked for him. Kira could fuck off.
It wasn’t easy, but Cody clenched his fist and let his reporter face slide firmly into place. “Thank you for giving me the opportunity to curl with you and your team. It was an experience I’ll never forget. I’m sure Derek will have a great time with the photos,” he said politely.
“Cody,” Shane said with a husky voice that sent a shiver down Cody’s spine. His hand fell to his side and his professional face disappeared when Shane twisted his fingers in the fabric of his sleeve and stepped into his personal space. His back bumped against the lockers.
“I’ve wanted to do this since the moment you appeared in my doorway holding that stupid pizza,” Shane whispered against his lips. “Is this okay?”
“Yeah,” Cody breathed. In the next second, Shane grabbed him and wrapped him in a tight hug, smashing their lips together. Cody’s knees almost buckled.
“Holy shit.” Cody whimpered and parted his lips, letting Shane lick into his mouth.
The kissing paused when a loud ruckus came from outside the locker room. “Cody, you stupid shit. Where are you hiding?” Kira shouted. “Cody!”
“Oh fuck,” Cody groaned and buried his face in Shane’s neck.
The door swung open, and Kira stormed into the locker room, stopped abruptly, and stared at Cody pinned against the lockers.
“You’re supposed to knock before you come in,” Shane said calmly. “In case someone is dressing or something.”
“Or something,” Kira muttered, backing out of the room. “Right, sorry. Carry on.” The door clicked shut, and Cody heard Kira squeal.
“Sorry about her.”
“Don’t be,” Shane said. “She stopped by the apartment before we came over here and told me I should ask you out.”
“She? What?”
“Should I ask you out?”
“Yes—” He didn’t get a chance to say anything else, because he was silenced when Shane placed his lips over his mouth and sucked on his tongue.
“Stay and watch the rest of the game,” Shane whispered. “I think you’re our good luck charm. We’re all curling great.”
“Okay,” Cody said.
He was a bit dazed when they came out of the locker room. He didn’t even notice that Shane kept hold of his hand all the way from the door to the ice, where he gave him a quick peck on the cheek.
Cody pressed his face against the glass and watched Shane stride out to the ice.
“Fuck,” he whispered.
“Indeed,” Kira said and wrapped her arms around his waist, resting her cheek against his shoulder blade. “You could have told me,” he said.
“No, because it would have given you the opportunity to overthink everything and get all goofy, convincing yourself there was no way Shane was interested in you.”
Sometimes it scared him that she knew him so well.
“Besides, it worked out okay. Right?” She poked him in the ribs, making him squirm.
“I’m not going to get ahead of myself this time,” Cody said. “We kissed.”
“And from the looks of it, it was a great kiss.”
Cody clenched his jaw. He didn’t want to jinx anything by reading too much into the kiss, but fuck, it had been awesome, and it made him want to twirl around the room like one of those crazy ice
