“Oh, just the fact that you don’t think you get jealous. I may be new, but even I know that’s a lie. It’s quite endearing, honestly.”
Brayden grabs the water bottle from my hand and throws it down the line at Maddox, who dodges it easily. Just as they’re about to start going at each other, the buzzer sounds, signaling the end of the second period. The players on the ice start to file off, while the guys on the bench stand up and make their way to the tunnel and back to the locker room.
“I meant what I said, B. I’m really proud of you. And I’m glad to see you smiling and happy like this. I’ve missedseeing it.” He must see the look in my eyes, because his gaze becomes a little sad with his eyes casting down. He pulls me in for a full body hug, and even though he’s sweaty from playing, I wrap my arms fully around him, or as fully as I can with him in his gear.
“I know you worry about me, especially after everything, and I appreciate you more than you’ll ever know. This game is all I need, and I’m truly happy. That, and our family. That’s all that matters to me.” He whispers, and I pull back, seeing the look in his eyes. I can tell he’s still hiding something, tension crowding his shoulders, but not wanting to push him, I nod and let him go.
He follows the rest of the team, and I watch as he files off, high fiving fans as he makes his way down the tunnel.
As the team continues to file off the ice, I catch sight of both Coach Davenport and Coach Johnson towards the end of the benches. Coach Davenport looks over at me and nods, giving a thumbs up or down motion to check in with me. I nod giving him a thumbs up that everything so far has been good.
Eric has left me alone since the game started, which I’m grateful for.
Coach smiles back before following the team down the tunnel, Coach Johnson right behind him.
I turn around to start gathering supplies and cleaning up when a voice startles me out of my thoughts,“You okay?” I look up to see Jake walking toward me instead of down the tunnel.
“Yeah, I’m good. Just got a lot on my mind. How about you?”
“I’m much better now.” The smirk on his face makes me blush and I turn away.
Before I can even blink, he’s grabbing my hand andpulling me down the players tunnel, through the long hallway and to an open door where he ushers me in and then closes the door behind him. He turns to me and walks over, cupping my face in his gloved hands and bringing his lips to mine.
I don’t care that he’s still sweaty and smells musky from being on the ice, I cling onto him and let him take control. His lips taste like vanilla from his chapstick, and I get lost in the feel of him. He licks my bottom lip, and I can’t help but submit to his touch, letting him in as he tastes and licks every inch of me. He pulls his lips from mine, a breathy moan escaping at the loss of contact. I go to take a step towards him, but he holds his hand up to stop me in my tracks. He keeps constant eye contact with me as one by one he undoes the velcro of his gloves and tosses them behind his head. Once his hands are free, his lips find mine again. He pulls me in closer, his hands sliding down my sides, one hand on my hip and the other sliding under my ass as he lifts me off my feet and pins me to the wall next to the door. I wrap my legs around him on instinct, but my body freezes, and I’m pulling away from him.
“Don’t. I’m too heavy for you to lift.” I’ve mumbled on instinct before I can stop myself.
His hand that was on my hip reaches out to grasp my chin and forces me to look him right in the eyes. “You are the most beautiful woman I have ever laid my eyes on. Your body is absolutely stunning. I hate that you don’t see yourself the way I see you, but I promise you that you’re not ‘too heavy’ for me. You were made to fit perfectly into my arms. And that is where you’re staying.”
He kisses me again, my hands reaching up to his hair and running my fingers through his sweaty locks. He feels like heaven between my legs, and I get so lost in his lips thatall I can think of is him dropping to his knees and using his mouth on other parts of me. Having him pull my pants down as he nips and sucks at my aching pussy. I’m so wet for this man, and just his touch alone could have me coming on contact. He kisses like he can’t get enough, and honestly, neither can I. Gently, I pull away and look him in the eyes, his forehead falling to mine.
“I haven’t been able to get the image of you in this uniform out of my head. It’s been driving me crazy all night,” he growls, a throaty moan escaping his lips.
I pull him in closer, leaning down to his neck as I place a soft kiss on his pulse point. “So what are you going to do about it, handsome?”
And then, he leans down and his lips crash back onto mine.
Chapter 21
Jake
Kissing Kailyn is like finally coming home after being away for so long.
When I kissed her on Thursday night, I had to force myself to walk away before I consumed her fully. Right now though, knowing that she told her family everything and opened up to them, plus seeing her in her element as she worked with the team, I couldn't wait to get her alone.
Her lips are coated in a winter berry flavored lipgloss, and I’m quickly becoming addicted to the way it tastes on her. I want to spend the rest of my life worshiping the ground this woman walks on and devouring her every taste and touch until I can’t get enough.
Pulling away from her lips, I trail kisses across her jaw and toward her throat as I nip and suck at her skin, leaving little bite marks along the way.
Her hands continue to grip at my hair, anchoring her to me as she grinds herself against my torso. I can feel the heat of her body as she presses closerto me, and I know that if I were to slide my hands into her jeans and pull them down, I would find her wet and aching for me.
“Jake.” Her breathy moans hit my ear, and I press her back harder into the wall behind us, my dick lined up with her core as we grind against each other, the pace picking up as we relearn each other's bodies.
She pulls my face to her, turning it as she trails her lips from my neck to my ears, biting down right next to my earrings and gently tugging on them with her teeth.
“That’s it, beautiful. Grind yourself against me. I know you’re just aching to have me inside you.”
“Jake, please.”
