He … how exactly had he gotten back here?
Rafe had some blurry memories of the pub, of drinking beer with Mickey and then a sticky sweet shot that had gone down easily. Then another one. And maybe a third.
He remembered laughing at something and then cool air on his face, his arm slung over someone’s shoulder.
Had … had Mickey brought him back to the hotel? He thought so. Thought maybe he remembered Mickey in the elevator, Mickey guiding him toward the bed and …
Rafe’s face went hot as he remembered stripping off with Mickey standing a few feet away. He’d done the same in the locker room, of course, but it was different here.
Different when they were alone in a hotel room like this.

The last thing Rafael Moon needs is to fall in love with another teammate ...
Following a painful breakup, Rafe is looking forward to a fresh start in Boston, and he’s thrilled when he immediately clicks with his new D-partner, Mickey Krause.
Mickey’s smart, talented, and loves telling Rafe what to do. It feels good to have some structure and, finally, Rafe’s life is coming together on and off the ice.
As their friendship deepens, Rafe slowly realizes he’s falling for Mickey. Too bad he’s been down this road before. He knows exactly how badly it could end.
Roles are defined and tension smolders, but neither of them can stop their out-of-control feelings.
An independent perfectionist, Mickey’s had a rough season so far and he’s immediately smitten with Rafe’s sweet, earnest vibes.
Finally having someone who works well with him in the bedroom and beside him in a game has him hitting all his goals.
But when Mickey’s world is turned upside down following an altercation with Rafe’s ex, he’ll have to learn to let go and let someone else lead for once.
Their relationship and the team depend on it.
