Somewhere in the distance a door opens, and a voice rings out. “Ava?”
We splinter apart, our eyes wide.
Coach.
I grab her hand and tug her toward the bench. We barely make it to the edge of the ice when she stumbles, crashing into me. I twist at the last second and take the brunt of the fall as we hit the rubber flooring. She lands on top of me with a soft grunt. Our bodies are flush as my arms tighten around her.
“Ava?” Coach’s voice echoes closer, sending a jolt of adrenaline through me.
We’re a mess of limbs, tangled up together, and I’m pretty sure the massive hard-on I’m sporting isn’t helping matters. Even with her dad seconds away from finding us, all I can think about is the way her lips felt against mine.
Heat floods her eyes, turning them a deep cerulean hue. The situation turns dire when she wriggles against my groin, creating friction.
Instead of giving in to the pleasure flooding my system, my fingers tighten around her slender hips. “You need to stop, or we’re going to get caught. I don’t think either of us want that.”
Humor flares to life in her eyes, mingling with the arousal.
Have I ever seen them spark with such laughter?
When she continues to squirm, her breath catches and her pupils dilate, the black swallowing up the blue. It makes her look even sexier than before.
“That feels so good,” she whispers, her voice turning smokey.
“Way too damn good,” I groan in agreement. “Keep that up and I’ll come in my sweats.”
Her teeth scrape across her lower lip. “I’d like to see that happen.”
Her hips continue to gyrate as the flush in her cheeks grows and a dazed quality enters her eyes. Each movement forces me closer to the precipice.
I wasn’t kidding when I said I’d come in my pants. My cock is impossibly hard, and my balls are tightening, drawing up against my body. It wouldn’t take much to shove me over the edge.
How embarrassing would that be?
I release a steady breath, attempting to get a hold of myself. I have no idea how this situation spiraled so far out of control.
She releases a soft whimper as she continues to shift against me.
The tortured sound is like a punch to the gut.
Fuck.
My hands tighten around her again, trying to stop what now feels inevitable.
When her eyelids feather closed, my grip intensifies.
“Look at me, Ava.” Her name comes out sounding more like a growl.
She cracks her eyes open just enough to meet my gaze.
It’s only when I have her complete attention that I mutter, “As much as I want to make you come right here and now, I don’t want it to be like this.” I pause for a beat. “The first time I give you an orgasm, I want to take my time with you and draw out your pleasure. You deserve nothing less than that.”
Her teeth scrape over the plump flesh of her lower lip. “I’m so close.”
Now it’s my turn to squeeze my eyes tightly closed against the way her blue depths plead with mine. Part of me wants to give her exactly what she’s begging for.
But… after what she’s been through, I want her thinking clearly and making good decisions for herself. The man who took advantage of her innocence and abused his position of power didn’t give her that choice.
I refuse to be anything like him.
It would fucking devastate me if she regretted anything we did together.
“I know, baby. But you told me that you needed to take this slow, and that’s exactly what I’m trying to do.” I search her gaze as it begins to clear. “No regrets.”
Some of her arousal fades as she releases an unsteady breath. “No regrets,” she repeats.
When a door slams in the distance, the sound echoing in the cavernous space, I realize we’re once again alone, but it won’t last much longer. Pretty soon the place will start to fill up.
“Ready to get out of here?”
With a nod, she brushes her lips across mine. Just as my resolve snaps, she pulls away and rolls to the side before rising to her skates and stepping onto the ice. I release a slow breath, willing my boner to deflate, before doing the same.
Already I know that I’ll be rocking a pair of blue balls for the rest of the morning.

Ava
My hands twist together in my lap as we drive back to my apartment. I can’t stop thinking about how good it felt to be stretched out on top of Hayes. Everything about him is hard and sculpted. Especially the thickness of his erection. It had been perfectly nestled against the V between my legs. Even thinking about the way I’d ground against him has arousal pooling in my core like warmed honey. Unable to help myself, I squirm on the seat before clenching my thighs to stymie the need that rushes through me, turning me on all over again.
