“Yes.”

“You give me three wishes like a genie in the bottle.”

“I don’t know.”

“Nothing crazy.”

“Nothing criminal.”

“That goes without saying.”

“And nothing…sexual.”

“That will come naturally, so fine. Hell, we’re halfway there.”

I regret that orgasm already.

“What’s the first wish, hockey boy?”

“The team is moving into a new house when we return to Vegas. I want you to help me move in.”

“A house?”

“Alumni boosters bought us a house for the team.”

“Like a frat house?”

“Pretty much but nicer.”

“Okay, but there’s already a team of muscular hockey players ready to help you move in. You don’t need me.”

“I know that, but Iwantyou there. That’s wish one of the deal. Do you want to try things my way and get this Parent Trap shit moving or do you want to be my new stepsister?”

“Would you stop saying that shit.”

“After what we just did, that would be a little awkward, wouldn’t it? Imagine how much worse you’ll feel after I fuck you senseless.”

“Oh my God, Shane!”

He laughs so forcefully that the truck shakes.

“What’s it going to be, Miss Bing?” he extends his arm as if we aren’t way past a handshake now.

I reluctantly lift my hand to meet his, electricity sparking between our fingertips.

What am I getting myself into?

“Deal.”

“I can’t believethe school bought you this house.”

I stand in the middle of the hockey team’s new living room basically stunned. The house is incredible. They’ve got 5000 square feet of prime Nevada real estate with a beautiful outdoor space. It’s insane.

“There are so many other productive things they could have done with the money like expand the business school’s internship program.”

“I told you it wasn’t the school who bought it, so don’t go around talking shit about our new abode.”
