Coach slapped my shoulder quickly. “I sure as shit didn’t think you had that kind of fight in you. We might need to rethink your positioning.”
I glanced over at my all-time hero and then beamed up at Coach Hayes. “I’ll gladly go wherever you need me.”
“I think that is a first in this team’s history. I can’t say that any of my players have ever accidently broken the boards by simply defending the goalie.”
“There’s a first time for everything,” Gavin chimed in.

Finally back inmy hotel room, icing down my ankle, I was able to call Nikki.
“Oh my goodness, Chase!” she yelled right when she picked up the phone after only one ring.
“You watched the game?” I chuckled a bit.
“Every second of it. Was that guy okay?”
Of course Nikki was more concerned about if I had injured someone than the fact that we won. “He’s fine, promise.”
“I am so proud of you, babe.” I could hear how much she meant those words in her tone.
“Thanks baby. How are you feeling?”
She paused for a second. “Better. Just needed some Tums.”
“Are you just saying that so I don’t worry?”
“No. I promise I was just tired and had a stomachache. Nothing to worry about.”
I shifted, getting more comfortable. Through a yawn, I muttered, “That’s good.”
“Get some rest, love. I can’t wait to see you tomorrow.”
Chapter 13
Nikki
Ihadn’t ever beenthis excited to be finishing up with a rehearsal. Right as I was taking off my pointe shoes, butterflies started to do a tango in my stomach. I had planned to tell Chase right when I got home, as soon as I saw him, but with the party at his teammate’s place that night, I knew it was better to wait. Nevertheless, I was over the moon to see him again.
“Babe!” I yelled, throwing my backpack and keys down.
Within seconds I was being picked up into Chase’s strong arms while his stubbly jawline nestled into my shoulder. As he took a deep breath in, he whispered, “I wasn’t prepared for how much I was going to miss you, Nik.”
I squeezed tighter with my arms and legs. “I could say the exact same thing.”
Chase marched to the bedroom, kicked the door open with one foot, and threw me onto the bed. He yanked sharply at the thin fabric of my leotard and leggings and I heard the fabric give way for him to have easy access. I should have been pissed at him for ruining my clothes, but desire to feel him won out as the muscles in my body tensed. With my legs hanging off the bed, Chase dropped to his knees in front of me.
His tongue and lips played with and devoured my clit while electricity shot through my body.
“Oh, Chase.” I moaned, arching my back to help him get to the perfect spot.
As a finger slowly started to explore my wetness, Chase’s hot breath danced along my inner thigh. “Baby, you taste incredible. I craved nothing else while I was gone.”
He sucked on my tender flesh while picking up the pace inside me. My climax built up and crashed hard as I shook in Chase’s arms.
Grabbing his shoulder, I started to pull him up toward me. “My turn to play with you.”
He shook his head. “We need to get ready for the party. We will have plenty of time to play later.”
