“Fuck that feels so good baby.” The sound of our bodies coming together fills the room and she squeezes her eyes shut like she’s trying to fight off the orgasm. I refuse to have any of that. “Violet, open your eyes.”
She shakes her head in defiance, so I stop moving inside of her. Violet’s deep brown eyes pour into mine and I grab her chin with my thumb and index finger bringing it down to where she can see us joined together, “Look at how good you’re taking me.” I feel her clench around me as I start to thrust into her again. “Such a good fucking girl.” Releasing her chin, I slide my thumb back down to her clit drawing quick small circles that make her hips drive into me.
“Mason, I’m close. So close.”
I knew exactly what she needed, knew that my girl needed my permission to come. She loves to boss me around out there but here, in this room, she wants to give up control.
“Come, Violet. Come right now.” My demanding words are her final undoing as she lets out a low moan and clenches me so tight. I lose my own battle for control, shooting into the condom with one final thrust. I leave a trail of kisses down Violet’s neck as we both come down from our orgasms, and I gently pull out of her. “You’re so perfect,” I mumble. To her? To myself? Who knows. I just needed to say it. Needed her to hear it.
“You’re not too bad yourself.” She yawns, fully spent, and wraps her arms tight around me. “I think I’ll keep you…forever.”
Good, I think to myself. Because she’s stuck with me as far as I’m concerned.
Reaching over to the nightstand I grab one of the hotel water bottles, unscrew the cap, and bring it to her lips. I don’t let go ofthe bottle until she’s had a few sips, and I swear I hear her mumble something like ‘protective asshole’ under her breath. Damn right I was. Laying back down I tuck her into my chest and idly draw my hand up and down her bare back. “I never want to leave this bed."
She lets out a small laugh before lifting her head from my chest. “I’m pretty sure your pay is directly tied to you playing games.”
“I guess I’ll just have to bring you back to New York with me then.”
“Unless I decide to go to Bolton.”
“Please don’t ruin a great night by saying such awful things.” I tease, earning an eye roll. This feels normal. There is an ease that comes with falling in love with someone you already know so well. “You know I’m just messing around, right? I know how hard you’ve worked for everything and if you really want to take the spot at Bolton, I’d cheer you on the entire time.”
“I know you would. You’ve always been there for me.” Violet brings my hand, which is entwined with hers, to her mouth and presses a kiss to the back of it. “I think it’s time to give the Big Apple another shot.”
“Really? You hated New York every time we would visit when we were kids.” I may want nothing more than to have her as close to me as possible, but I also don’t want it to come at the expense of her happiness. Long-distance would suck, but Boston’s only four hours away. We’d make it work.
“I’m sure. I’ve never been more sure of anything in my life.”

The incessant beepingof my alarm pulls me into consciousness the next morning. Violet lays sound asleep, using my arm as her personal pillow. I gently slide her off me and fail at not staring at how beautiful she looks, her curls splayed across the pillow. The girl could truly sleep through anything, and it was an ability I was always incredibly jealous of. I quickly throw on a pair of sweats and a hoodie, placing a small kiss on her head before leaving. I warned Violet last night that I would have to step out for a bit in the morning for ourteam meeting.
Kallum and Connor meet me in the hallway. Connor looks like the fucking Cheshire cat.
“So I take it you had a goodnight?”
“Of course he did. He scored that winning goal, didn’t he?” I can’t tell if there’s a slight edge to Kallum’s voice as he interjects, or if I’m reading into things. Though he’s never vocalized it, if I was in his position I wouldn’t like me much either.
“That’s not the only way he scored last night.” Connor lets out a howl of laughter followed by a grunt of pain as I smack him hard on the back of his head.
“Watch your mouth, my guy.” I don’t care if he is my closest friend on the team, I have an extremely low tolerance for disrespecting my girl.
Connor shoves my shoulder in response. “Relax man, you know I’m teasing. I’m happy for you.”
Kallum snickers. “Wow, look at you Mason. Finally wearing a leash like a good boy.”
I clench my jaw so hard I can feel the tension in my temples.He gets one. One low blow for losing his spot to me.“I do love a little choking, Kallum. Plus, Violet and I grew up together. It’s been a long time coming.”
“Now that’s interesting. So, what, the girl next door tied you down? Are you sure you’re up for that?” Kallum’s smirk is starting to piss me off.
