“I’d better get going.” I stood and reached for her hands, pulling her up beside me. “My chivalry only extends so far,” I explained with a lopsided grin. “And I’m dying to kiss you. So how about you walk me out where there will be less temptation.”
She looked as though she might argue, and I laughed as I led her out into the hallway.
“Don’t, Rory. You’re too special for us to jump into bed on our first date.”
Rory’s eyes softened, and her cheeks turned pink. “I guess you have a point. I suppose my first time—um…I mean our first time…” She trailed off, and her face flushed tomato red.
She was a virgin? Why did that make me want to beat my chest like a fucking caveman?
I inhaled slowly and tugged her fully into the hallway before wrapping her up in my arms. “I’m glad you told me, baby.”
Rory looked up at me through her lashes, and a small smile kicked up the corners of her mouth. “You really don’t mind? I thought that was supposed to freak guys out.”
“Nothing could make me not want to be with you, Rory. And being your first…I’m honored.” I wanted to tell her that I wouldalso be her last, but again, I held back so she didn’t realize just how fast I’d become obsessed with her.
“Now, I’m even more determined to make sure our first time is special.” I bent my head and gently brushed my lips over hers. When she raised on her tiptoes to press her mouth against mine, my good intentions disappeared.
My hands traveled down to palm her ass, and I probed her mouth with my tongue. When she opened, I swept inside and groaned at the sweet taste. Her tongue timidly tangled with mine, and my cock swelled until it was painfully hard.
It was a damn good thing I’d waited until we were far from her couch and the soft rug on the floor in front of it. I angled my head to deepen the kiss and rocked the bulge in pants into the apex of her thighs. She let out a little whimper, and I knew I was approaching the point of no return.
With a frustrated groan, I tore my lips from hers and pressed our foreheads together. We stayed like that for a minute, both panting and trying to catch our breath.
“Best kiss I’ve ever had,” I murmured as I slowly slid her to the ground.
“Me, too.” Then she blushed and bit her lip before admitting, “But I have nothing to compare it to.”
“Stop,” I growled. “Or I will lose what little willpower I have left.”
Her eyes sparkled as she beamed at me, and I couldn’t resist another quick kiss.
“Dinner this week?” I rasped.
Rory frowned and sighed. “It’s an insane week. I have to work on the game stats and get ready for my classes and the trip home.” Then she shrugged and took a step back. “But I’ll find the time.”
“Don’t overstress yourself, baby. I’ll still be here when things calm down.” I cupped her cheeks and stared intently at her when I stated, “I’m not going anywhere.”

RORY
Ihad lucked out with my class schedule and didn’t need to be on campus on Monday mornings or at all on Fridays, which made attending Nighthawk away games a whole lot easier for me. Even better, with the first one being in my hometown, I got to see my family way sooner than Thanksgiving break.
I was practically bouncing with excitement as the game clock ticked down the last few seconds.
“Everything all set for your visit with your parents?”
I glanced up to beam a smile at my boss. “Yes, I’m headed to their house as soon as I get out of here. I didn’t want my dad to have to deal with all of the stadium traffic.”
“Good call,” he murmured with a nod.
“Thanks again for being so cool about me flying back on my own.” I’d been worried that I wouldn’t be able to see my family for more than maybe an hour tops until I asked him if it was okay for me not to take the team plane back to New York.
Percy waived off my gratitude. “It wasn’t a big deal.”
“Okay then, thanks for getting the team to cover my ticket,” I replied, my smile widening. “They totally didn’t have to do that when it was my choice to push back my departure.”
“You’re a student attending college in one of the most expensive cities in the world, and Lennox Madison is a billionaire. He can more than afford it.” He shook his head with a snort. “Plus, we got you for a steal, considering the kind of analysis you can do when you’re only earning intern wages.”
