Mike glances at me. “That there was a panty raid on the girls’ locker room.”

I nod. That’s one way to spin it. I take a sip of my beer while Mike looks Emma over.

“You were in the locker room? Did they hurt you?”

She smiles and shakes her head. “No, but I throat punched one of them.”

He chuckles. “That’s my little spitfire.”

I shake my head at the nickname, but it’s not like I’ve done much better for Harper. Maybe I should shake it up. When I look at the two of them, it’s almost like they’re throwing heart eyes at each other. I’m happy Emma’s found someone who can make her happy like that.

I almost hate to interrupt their time together. Almost.

“Did you figure out where Tanner was during the whole thing?” I wait for Mike to lift his eyes to me.

He wraps his arm around Emma’s shoulders and draws her in against his side. She puts her hand on his stomach and looks up at him like he hung the moon. Thank fuck she never looked at me that way.

“I had a guy on the JV team follow after him. Tanner didn’t even come to the game. He had dinner at the diner alone and then headed home. He’s been there the rest of the night.” Mike smiles down at Emma.

Fuck, they’re cute together. The diner where Rebecca works. I’ll have to see if she was working tonight. That could be a connection we never considered. “Anything else?”

“Nah, man. Thanks for going in and saving my Homecoming date.” He squeezes her against him. “I didn’t know what was happening or I would have followed you off the field. It was like mass confusion when you guys left.”

“Anyone hurt?” We need to reestablish the fact that we’re not just dicks, but leaders and people who can help.

“They were able to help people out of the stadium using everyone’s phone lights and once some people got to their cars, the headlights.” Mike lifts his beer to me. “Are we partying tonight then?”

I smirk and tap my beer against his. “Of course.”

The party rages on around us. We found a place out of the way where Nico can sit and not get his leg injured. Eli and Jack went out to mingle while Luke and Caden went back to the school.

Nico rests his head against the back of the couch next to me. Kenz sits beside me, and Penny sits on the other side of Nico.

“I’m ready to go to bed,” Nico says softly against my ear. His lips tickle me. The music is so loud no one else can likely hear him, but I blush thinking about tonight. I touch my forehead to his and look into his dark eyes.

“You need sleep.”

He grins. “Can we sleep how you slept with Luke when he was hurt?”

Heat floods my face, remembering Luke stayed buried inside me all night long.

Nico chuckles. “It’s only fair, sunshine.”

It would also be amazing to feel him all through the night inside me. If I wasn’t worried about setting back his recovery, I’d be one hundred percent on board with his plan. As it is, I’m excited to spend the night with him and the others tonight.

“I think your injury is a little different.” I shake my head but can’t wipe the smile off my face.

“Is that a no?” Nico brushes his thumb along my jaw, igniting sparks.

“How about maybe?” I meet his gaze, and he smirks. “You also have a head injury, and everyone needs to rest up tonight.”

“Maybe.” He skims his finger down my neck, and a shiver runs through me.

I shake my head, but I can’t help smiling. This feels nice and simple without having to worry if Zach will try something or the Cheermonsters will come over to snark at me again.

This isn’t over. Zach will get out. So will Sidney. But now this weekend is mine and my guys’. We get to go to the Homecoming dance together and spend the night dancing and being just teenagers for once. Zach and Sidney won’t be allowed into the dance.
