My fingers strayed to my split lip as my mouth curled into a pirate’s smile. That little fucker. What d’ya know?
And this was his dad. The dude was hot.
I arched my brow and nodded. “Good uppercut.”
Hot Dad laughed. “I think he got a lucky swing in, but according to my friend, Jake’ll be the one waking up with a shiner in the morning. He’s not usually a fighter. You must have really pissed him off.”
I pointed at my chest and tried on my best innocent wide-eyed expression. “Me?”
He waved dismissively. “I don’t want to know. I’ve heard the smack talk on the ice can range from disgusting to ridiculous and everything in between.”
“True. I couldn’t tell you what I said anyway,” I replied honestly. “Probably something rude and I should probably be ashamed, but hey…I’m a real asshole on the ice. Ask anyone.”
“Well, you’re a gentleman off the ice.” He gestured at his rental meaningfully. “Thank you very much for your help. I appreciate it…Smitty. May I call you that?”
“It’s my name, so…sure.”
“I’m Bryson. Bryson Milligan.” He offered his hand again and pulled it away as if realizing we’d already done the handshake dance.
“Nice to meet you.”
I’d like to claim I had no idea why I was still standing around making small talk, but I knew the answer. It just surprised the fuck out of me. I hadn’t felt a strong physical attraction to a man in years. I’d sort of wondered if my bi side had gone dormant…till now.
See, Bryson Milligan wasn’t just hot, he was…stunning—like a silver fox on steroids, mega good-looking, spank bank material, wowza hot. You know what I’m sayin’? He had high cheekbones, short dark hair threaded with silver, a lightly-bearded square jaw, and a ready smile that made his blue eyes twinkle and shrouded him with a jovial aura. He seemed friendly and approachable…and very sexy. It wasn’t like me to gush, but Bryson was the kind of handsome you couldn’t help noticing.
He was worthy of a double or triple take regardless of where you put yourself on a sexual spectrum. In spite of my dry spell with men, I was definitely bi. Once upon a time, I’d fucked men on the regular and loved it. And now the part of me I’d begun to think was the stuff of college antics zinged to life, rooting my feet to the cement.
Which was stupid ’cause nothing was going to happen, obviously.
Why not?
Oh, come on. Number one, the guy was undoubtedly straight. And numbers two, three, four, and five, he was that punk-ass kid’s dad.
