“I don’t think we can keep doing this here.” She’s biting down on her bottom lip.
“Fuck.” I tug it from her clutches. “You drive me crazy.”
I wish I didn’t have the game tomorrow. I want to take Piper back to my hotel room and fucking ravish her.
I thought a few times with her would cure my need for her.
What an idiot.
All it’s done is made me want her more. Crave her with a need I’ve never had before.
Piper, the sweet little Princess, falling for me, the villain.
“We should probably get to lunch.”
“I forgot that’s why we were out.”
Because Piper steals all rational thought from my head.
And I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Chapter Twenty
CASH
“Piper, you couldn’t get your brother out?”
“Said he was too sore. “
“That was a gnarly hit he took,” Nick tells us. He’s on his own tonight. I guess he usually is, not that I know much about his life.
I haven’t been the best at getting to know my teammates over the years. Closed off was my mantra. Until Piper. She’s changing everything about me for the better.
“He should’ve wanted to celebrate the win,” one of the guys says.
I’m not paying that much attention. Piper’s hand is on my leg, drawing small circles on the inside of my thigh. Making me crazy.
“Cash, you played great tonight,” Piper tells me, leaning into my side.
I wrap an arm around her, keeping her there. The only place I want her.
“You think so?” I ask her, twirling a lock of hair around my finger. A few of the guys came out to celebrate our big win against Edmonton. They’re one of the top teams inthe league every year, and our rivalry with them is one for the ages.
Getting to win in a flurry of snow and goals?
It doesn’t get much better than that.
“A goal and an assist? You were on fire.”
Listening to Piper give me my stats is making me hard. Thank God we’re in a dark club and no one can see us.
The second we arrived, we were escorted into the VIP section. One of the perks of being a professional athlete.
Piper left her jersey in my car, stripping down to her tank and jeans. It’s nothing fancy, but she looks good. She always looks good.
“I’m surprised Cassie let me come out tonight.”
“With me and the team? Good publicity. Even I know that.”
