Mickey let out a huff and shifted his knee, bumping the top of Rafe’s head. “Here,” he said, patting his thigh, like he wanted Rafe to use it for a pillow.
Rafe gave him a surprised look, but he shrugged like it was no big deal.
And maybe it wasn’t? Just because Mickey wanted him, maybe was in love with him like Tanner had said earlier, didn’t mean it had to mean anything. He’d probably do the same for Tanner.
But Rafe secretly hoped not.

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.
