"You ready?" he asks before reaching for the door handle.

I look at him. "You go ahead. I'll wait here until everyone arrives."

He looks almost deflated at that comment. Like I'm telling him that I don't want to be seen alone with him.

And it’s true. My brother can’t see us. Not after all my talk of never being caught dead with a hockey player. I may have loose morals, but I refuse to be a liar. Liars, I can’t stand.

He just nods, before opening the door and running inside, leaving me alone in the car with still swollen lips from that stolen kiss.

"Those fit you like a glove," Hicks hoots as Zane walks down the stairs wearing his too-tight joggers.

"Shut the fuck up," Zane growls out quickly.

Our top defenseman is by far the biggest guy on our team, followed closely by Ryker, our bear in the net. Both of them don't have clothes here and both of them have resorted to wearing their smaller teammates' attire to get out of their stuffy suits.

When they get to the main living room, we all burst into a fit of laughter, watching them try to pull out wedgies and pull-down shirts that are riding up on them.

Landry, Hicks, and I doled out comfy clothes to everyone as they arrived since they were all still in suits and floor-length dresses.

All except for Libby who opted to wear fluffy pajama pants and a camisole that is showing off her cleavage in a way that is currently driving me wild.

Not that she'd notice. Since walking into the house she's barely looked at me.

“Welp," Landry says, kicking his feet off the table to rise like the king of his house. "We should play a little game since you’re all here."

"It's midnight," his sister, Izzy, says with a yawn, her hand gently rubbing her growing belly.

"Even more reason to play. Everyone's delirious."

"And some of us are drunk," Hicks says, raising a beer to confirm.

"What game do you want to play?" Libby asks where she's perched next to her bestie on the armrest of one of the couches.

"Hmm..." Landry thinks. "Spin the bottle?"

Ryker and Zane laugh as they sit next to their significant others.

"That's a horrible idea, considering your sister and his sister," Ryker says, motioning toward Zane, are both the only women here besides Kesley.

"Excellent point, my friend. Do we have any other suggestions?" he asks everyone around the room.

"Uno?"

"Monopoly?"

"Childish and too intense. Nope and nope," Landry says, vetoing both. "Anything else?"

"What about truth or dare?" I offer.

Everyone looks at me from where I'm leaning over the couch opposite Libby.

"Ooh, juicy. I like it," Landry approves. "Truth or dare, it is. All in favor?"

"Aye!" voices call out.
