"Having a good time, bro?"

I look over lass of Scotch I give himent

"Well, it's going to get better tonight See those tomen over there"

I look to where he's pointing Sitting on the couch are two ladies that are ferociously gorgeous They're both wearing tight, short dresses and sky-high heels I can tell at a glance that both have put copious amounts of money into breast enhancement

Who says my observational skills in the Corps asted?

"Nice," I reply And I mean it

"They're for ustonight after everyone leaves"

Of course, they are Linc always looks out for me in that departet one in bed He takes e people as an inability to get laid I hate to break it to him, but it's not that hard There are plenty of woht, simple talk without the need to spout poetry at them

But I don't want to hurt his feelings so I just smile at him and say, "You rock, man"

Linc aht over to the tomen He plops himself on the couch in between them and I watch as they fawn all over my little brother

What a player!

I glance around and notice the front door open More partygoers coood friends, Ryan Burnha with his wife, Danny Now that is one cool chick Linc told raduate of Julliard but she rocks some awesome dyed hair and face metal So not what I picture a hockey wife and classical musician to look like

And walking in just behind Danny

My breath freezes and irl that ran me over last week

What the hell is she doing here?

As mad as I was at her last week, I've spent the last several days re how beautiful she is And I seehair shihtest, warmest brown I've ever seen They look like amber swirled with copper

The whole incident with E pissed that she ran le her And yet, by the end of our , she had convinced es I still can't fathoreed to it Nix Caldwell doesn't cut anyone slack

I watch in disbelief as Harley barrels through the crowd and jumps up on her I start tohug and buries her face in his neck

I'm amazed Stupefied Bumfuzzled

I've never seen a woman react to Harley that way Usually, his hundred pounds of brute force tends to scare most people

Eround and continues to rub his ears as people come up to her to say hello She clearly knows a lot of the hockey players here and I'et laid tonight or walk off with a potential husband

The thought does not set ith me

And then I see Ryan Burnham turn to her and whisper in her ear She punches him in the shoulder over whatever he said, and it hits me like a ton of bricks That's Ryan's sister DuhE the the family resemblance

She must have been here at Linc's place when she hit me that day He never said a word to me and he usually tells me about all of his sexual exploitations Maybe E her under wraps

As I watch her though, she looks over at Linc, who is still wrapped up in the double-trouble beauties She just shakes her head with a fond smirk She's clearly not upset that he is with other wo else that day Not that I care nor is it any of my business

So I just sit backand I watch her
