LUCY

Was I really this weak? I stared up into Justin’s blue eyes and tried to talk myself out of making a decision based on my need for sexual gratification.

Damn he was hot. Justin had the lean, toned physique of an athlete, and the blond hair and blue eyes of a cover model. Everything about the way he looked at me screamed playboy, which meant I knew exactly what I was walking into. Justin wasn’t the kind of guy who would take it personally if I didn’t want to hear from him tomorrow. “Won’t this make it weird at work?” I asked him over the thumping bass of another rock song.

He traced the curve of my spine with his fingertips. “Not if we don’t let it.” With that enigmatic response, he dropped his arms. The song ended and he held out his hand. “You want to go?”

“Who’s going?” Lennox and Zachary stood behind Justin.

He scowled and dropped his arm. “Private conversation.”

“Not when you’re talking loud enough for half the bar to hear.” Zachary scoffed and grabbed for Justin’s shoulder. “We already talked about this.”

“No. You talked. No one asked what I wanted. Or what Lucy wanted.” Justin locked eyes with me, and they were clear and bright with no hint of intoxication. “I asked Lucy to go home with me. And I’m waiting on her answer.”

Having Lennox and Zachary staring at me should have given me the strength to say no. It did, and it didn’t. Because it also pissed me off. They looked ready to answer for me, to tell me to go home and be a good little girl. Fuck that.

Hot, delicious anger swirled in my stomach and gave me courage. They didn’t get to look down on me for my decisions or to speak for me like I didn’t know my own mind… my own needs. “Let’s get out of here.” I shot the words at Justin while watching Lennox and Zachary.

Lennox moved like he might touch me, but then dropped his arm back to his side. Dark eyes burned into mine. “Are you sure that’s what you want?”

I made a show of looking Justin up and down. “Oh, yeah. I’m sure.”

Zachary’s face flushed beneath his leather jacket and he tugged at his shirt collar. “Don’t say we didn’t warn you.”

“I don’t need a babysitter.” I gripped Justin’s hand and we made our way to the door. I regretted my harsh words within three steps and started to turn back around. I caught a flash of hurt in Zachary’s eyes, along with something else. He and Lennox looked at me with desire darkening their pupils. That couldn’t be right. Or maybe that was why they kept trying to warn me away from Justin… because they wanted me for themselves. “Will they say anything?” I whipped my head back around to look at Justin.

He laced his arm around my waist and pulled me close. “No. They’ll keep it quiet.”

Good. If my dad found out I’d left the bar with a team member, he’d never forgive me. A moment of indecision grippedme but it passed when Justin’s hand smoothed over my hip, dipping beneath my hoodie to touch my bare skin. I hadn’t been touched in so long that the feel of his rough fingers drove me wild.

“Where do you live?” I’d have to drive since he rode with Lennox, and I wasn’t about to leave my car here.

“Not far.” He opened my door for me and the chivalrous gesture made me grin. “Go to the end of the block and turn left. My house is the third on the right. Can’t miss it. Look for the blue mailbox.”

I committed his directions to memory and thanked the hockey gods that I wouldn’t have to wait long.

Justin closed my door and ran around to the other side. He adjusted himself before climbing in, bringing my attention to the impressive bulge in his pants. I couldn’t wait to have him inside me. I rubbed my thighs together, my skin already slick and wet for him. “If this is a mistake, tell me now.”

He reached over and turned the key in the ignition. “Drive, Lucy.”

Hot damn he was sexy as hell when he said my name in that low growl. My tires spit gravel as I pulled out of the parking lot and onto the road. Justin set his hand on my thigh and rubbed his palm up and down over my thick leggings. I’d dressed casually for the game in fleece leggings, a short skirt, and an oversized hoodie. I almost regretted it now, but everything would be easy to remove, and I’d worn my one cute bra so bonus points for me. His hand slid up my leg, moving closer to my sex. I bit my lip and pressed harder on the gas. “You better not make me wreck.”

The blue mailbox came into sight, and I whipped the car into the driveway and killed the engine.

Justin was out of the car and around to my side in a flash. He yanked open the door and held out his hand. “Last chance to say no.”

I slid my palm over his, pushing aside all my doubts. I spotted a cracked sidewalk and a solid oak door before Justin pulled me into the house and pushed me against the door. His lips found mine and my soul almost leapt from my body. More. I had to have more of him.

With the door pressed into my spine, I let it hold me up while I gripped his shoulders. He slid his hands beneath my hoodie and palmed my back with both hands, pulling my hips flush against his.

I gasped and he used the opportunity to plunge his tongue into my open mouth. His body was firm, the muscles taut beneath his jacket. I needed to feel skin, so I pushed the coat from his shoulders. He released me long enough to shrug the coat off, leaving it in a heap on the floor. My hoodie followed, leaving me standing there in my lacy black bra.

“You’re beautiful.” His pupils dilated as he reached for me. One hand cupped my breast, squeezing it through the bra, while the other settled low on my spine. Justin’s kisses were a drug all on their own.

His tongue stroked alongside mine, his cock hard against my stomach. I groaned and arched into him.

Justin swept a hand beneath my knees and pulled me into his arms without ever breaking off the kiss. He carried me through the living room, where I spotted a leather sofa and a massive TV screen before we entered a bedroom and he kicked the door shut behind us.
