“There you go, baby.” I say between licks. “Just like that.”
I keep wringing every bit of pleasure from her body, until her hand gently taps me. I pull back.
She’s smiling down at me, flushed cheeks and sweat shining across her dampened hairline. A breathless laugh escapes her.
I kiss the inside of her trembling thigh. Her belly. I let her slide down my body until her feet are on the ground. I kiss her neck. Her cheek.
She turns her head to me and licks my top lip with her tongue, tasting me. My lips part in surprise and compliance.
Her nails scratch up the back of my neck into my hair. She pulls me to her and deepens the kiss further. “Mmm.”
Each stroke of her tongue against mine makes me painfully aware of my unresolved situation.
I press my hips into hers. Her hands drag down to feel me.
“Oh.”She breathes against my lips. I grin. What does size really matter to anyone? I never cared, except that my pride swells with her pleasant surprise.
I slow the kiss. Needing to pull back now, even though every part of me wants more. More of her.
My breath comes in pants; forehead pressed to hers. I plant a kiss to her soft lips.
I kneel, carefully guiding her ankle back into her leggings. I pull them back up her legs. When I get to her hips, a hand on my jaw makes me pause. She tilts my head up to her, emerald eyes hypnotizing me. She glances to my lips as I stand.
“Can I take care of you too?” Alli asks. My hand covers hers on my face. I lean into her touch, only slightly.
“You have no idea how much I want that. But I need you to know that even though this is a casual thing for you, I have never wanted anybody so badly.in my life. And when I have you like that, you won’t want to have to rush off to a fucking afterparty.”
She giggles and it locks something into place in my chest. I haul her to me, just enjoying holdingher close for a moment. I plant little kisses on her face and neck and lips. Outside that door there’s a world of complications waiting for us to untangle. In here though, it’s just the two of us. I breathe in her smell, committing it to memory.
Then I kiss her forehead once more and unlock the door.
I smack her ass before she opens it. She goes first. I count to 100 in my head before exiting the closet too.
I look left and right before walking down the hall back towards the player's lot. A faint noise has me looking over my shoulder.
Nothing seems out of the ordinary though. It’s a pretty basic hallway that leads to an office reception area. Not exactly busy during game day.
I shrug it off and continue on my way, chalking it up to the adrenaline of the game and moment with Alli.
Keeping the grin off my face is a losing battle.
Chapter 21 Allison
Have you ever received the best orgasm of your life from six-foot-three hockey defenseman juiced up on game day adrenaline and then had to go converse with his mother not even an hour after calling him daddy and screaming his name?
Until tonight, I would’ve said no, too.
Now here I am, drinking wine across from Rachel Bridges. Who I must say is gorgeous. She doesn’t look old enough to be Tate's mother.
“… Then Owen had to go up to the school and help them catch all the chickens.” She finishes telling a story of their school prank gone wrong. The room erupts in laughter.
Mine stalls the moment the front door opens. Tate walks in. Still looking sexy as sin in that suit. His eyes find mine.
“I see y’alll’ve already met. Please don’t hold anything they said against me. None of it is true.” Tate says, coming to my side. He places an arm around my shoulders and kisses my temple. The motion comes so easy, like he’s done it a hundred times. He freezes just for a moment.
His house is currently full of our coworkers and their spouses. Tony’s eyes widen a fraction. Rachel hides a grin behind her glass. Tate justclears his throat and moves on to greet his mom and sister.
“So, you can’t play guitar then?” my brows raise slightly. His cheeks flush pink as he grips the back of his neck.
