OWEN: If your family is wearing your jersey, you’ll have a good game, right?

Then, he sent the one that made me get a fucking hard on.

OWEN: But if your girl is wearing your number? GAME FUCKING ON BROTHER

I showered and changed in record time, and headed out toward where the rest of the team’s families were waiting for me.

And there she was.

Before I could get to her, Res Gentry, one of the new owners stepped in front of me, blocking the way.

“Good game, Lockwood. Can’t wait to see how the rest of the season unfolds.” He extended his hand, and fuck I just wanted to get by, but I shook it.

My brows drew together and he chuckled, glancing back at Owen, who tipped his chin. “I hear you have a few things to… take care of. The owner's suite is empty, and security is under the understanding that only two people are permitted access. If one of them has the key. Oh, and Owen is updating the security system in that area, so…”

Holy. Shit.

He left me with a smirk.

“Good game, brother,” Owen said gruffly, shaking my hand. Reid stepped forward and enveloped me in her arms as Owen glared at me over her head.

“It’s so nice to meet you, Sebastian. Maybe we can have you over for dinner or something one night soon?”

“Angel, let’s take things one day at a time, ok?”

She stepped back and smiled with a wink. “Thanks for four conversions. Owen and I had a bet.”

My eyes on Maddie, I asked absently, “What did you win?”

“And we are out. Talk soon, brother?” Owen steered a giggling Reid toward the door.

Jessa rolled her eyes, and followed grumbling about not getting laid anytime soon.

My Ember.

Wearing my number. My jersey.

Well, a version of it. A sexy, cropped version.

And the same chains around her neck and bangles on her wrists when I made her moan and gasp for hours in my bed. In my kitchen.

Fuck.

Me.

The rest of the world faded around us, and Maddie tilted her head to the side. “Good game, Lockwood.”

I brushed a lock of her dark blonde hair out of her face, my fingers lingering on her cheek. Her lips parted, breath hitching, pupils dilated. “Guess you need a ride home, baby girl.”

She licked her lips. “But not just for one night.”

“No, I’m thinking maybe…forever. But first,” I extended my hand palm up, and she placed hers in mine, “I think we need to…go somewhere. Now.” Her eyes lit up and she nodded. I turned and pulled her in close behind me, weaving through the crowd until we reached the elevator that would take us to the owner’s suite.

She leaned forward and hit the button, and her scent hit me. Summer and hope and fucking forever.

Her grin? Priceless.

I tapped the key against my thigh, marveling that such a simple key hadn’t been replaced when the new ownersupdated every other damn thing. Impatient as hell to pull her cut-off jeans down her legs, and fuck her fast and hard. Then take her home and take my damn time.
