And just like that, I’m wide awake.
I lift my tousled head and rest my chin against the solid strength of his chest. “I’ll come and watch.”
He searches my eyes carefully. “Are you sure? My feelings won’t be hurt if you’re not up to it.”
I take a moment, allowing his comment to circle around in my brain before nodding. “It’s time to leave the past where it belongs and move on. I can’t live there anymore. And Miles wouldn’t want that for me either.”
“No, he wouldn’t.” His fingers thread through my hair before he closes the distance between us so that his lips can slant over mine. The velvety softness of his tongue dips inside my mouth to tangle with my own.
He pulls away before whispering, “He loved you so much.”
“He loved you, too. You were his brother in every way that mattered.”
Emotion flickers in his eyes. “I felt the same.”
“I know.”
He shifts me around until my back hits the mattress and he’s rolling from the bed and rising to his feet. My gaze slides down the length of his impressive form before settling on his cock. Even in his softened state, he’s still imposing. A little shiver dances down my spine as I track each movement. He hunkers down near my desk where he dropped his black Wildcats team backpack after arriving last night.
In silence, he tugs open the zipper and rifles around inside the bag before pulling out something orange and black. It only takes four long-legged strides for him to reach the bed. Curiosity gets the better of me and I pull myself up to a seated position as he resettles on the mattress and shakes out the thick material.
That’s when I realize he’s holding a jersey.
His jersey.
“I want you to wear it to my game. Just like you used to.”
A thick lump of emotion swells in my throat as a sheen of wetness blurs my vision. It takes effort to blink it away.
“Fallyn?” His voice dips, turning raspy.
I drag my gaze to his before jerking my head into a nod. “Thank you. I’ll wear it tonight.”
Air escapes in a rush from between his parted lips as he searches my eyes. “Are you sure you’re good with this? The last thing I want to do is pressure you.”
“You’re not.” I hug the material to my chest. “I want to be there for you in all the ways I wasn’t these past years.”
His hand snakes around the nape of my neck before dragging me to him and pressing his lips against mine.
“That means everything to me, angel.”
Chapter 34
Wolf
I slide from one end of the goal to the other, warming up my hips before dropping to my knees and quickly popping back up again as my teammates circle their half of the ice. The puck drops in thirty. Even though I should be one hundred percent focused on the upcoming game, my gaze continually drifts to the stands, searching for Fallyn as warmups get underway.
A pit the size of Texas settles at the bottom of my gut.
What if she’s a no show?
What if she changed her mind at the last minute and doesn’t want to watch me play?
Or…
Maybe she changed her mind altogether and doesn’t want anything to do with me.
Maybe I came on too strong, and it freaked her out.
