Goaltender Interference (Scoring Chances, #1)

by Brigham Vaughn

Internally, Jesse cackled when it hit him why Connor was being so pissy. Shiiiit. Connor was jealous. He looked all bristly, like an angry cat with its tail fluffed out.

“Cut it out. You’re a ridiculous, annoying chaos demon but you’re my ridiculous, annoying chaos demon and no one else is touching you. Especially not my brothers.”

He had to go. He had to choose happiness. And if the church told him he wasn’t welcome because

he loved Jesse, well, then he’d have to choose Jesse. Because choosing Jesse meant loving more than just him. It was also choosing to love his family. To love Kelly and Nolan. To love himself.

“I love you,” Connor whispered. Jesse blinked, whispering, “What?” because he was sure he couldn’t possibly have heard him right. Connor smiled. “I love you, Jesse Webber. I love everything about you. And I don’t know if you love me or if this is the life you want. I don’t know anything right now. But I know I love you. And I wanted you to know that too.”
