A predatory expression leaps to life in his eyes. “Are you afraid of me?”
I lift my chin, attempting to brazen out the situation. “Of course not. Is there a reason I should be?”
When his lips spread into a slow smile, my belly pinches before dropping to my feet.
With our gazes locked, he bridges the distance between us until I have to crane my neck to maintain eye contact. It wouldn’t take much to drown within his fathomless depths. It’s an unsettling thought that should scare the crap out of me.
Oddly enough, it doesn’t.
My heart slams against my chest, beating a mad rhythm. When my tongue darts out to moisten my dry lips, his attention drops to the movement. Arousal sparks in his eyes as he slants them upward again to meet mine.
I remain silent as he steps close enough for the steely strength of his chest to press against the tips of my breasts.
“You didn’t answer the question. Are you with River? Or are you a bunny who gets off on sleeping with any hockey player?”
My eyes widen as understanding slams into me.
Wait a minute…
He thinks I’m a groupie?
Just as I open my mouth to fire off a denial, his warm breath ghosts across my lips. It’s a dizzying sensation that scatters my brain cells into a million directions and makes holding on to rational thought an impossibility. Another millimeter and we would be touching.
Kissing.
Is his mouth as soft as it looks?
I’m dying to find out.
Another wave of shock crashes over me when he nips my bottom lip with sharp teeth. A rush of air gets clogged at the back of my throat as we remain locked in silent battle. He gives it a slight tug before relinquishing his hold.
“Come home with me, and I’ll show you what it feels like to get fucked by a real hockey player.”
Before I can attempt to make sense of my out-of-control thoughts and emotions, his mouth crashes into mine as one hand snakes around the nape of my neck to hold me in place. Not once does it occur to me to fight the grip or untangle myself from him.
The only things I’m cognizant of are the fireworks exploding within every cell of my being and the way my body vibrates with need...and wonderment.
The velvety softness of his tongue plunges deep inside my mouth to tangle with my own. It isn’t until my fingers curl into the soft material of his hoodie that I realize I’m holding on for dear life.
His mouth is a force to be reckoned with.
Dominant.
Possessive.
And I love it.
I desperately want more of it.
No one has ever kissed me like this.
It makes me realize how starved I am for this kind of affection.
I have no idea how long we stand embracing in the parking lot with the silvery moonlight filtering down on us.
He pulls away just enough to search my eyes.
The heat filling them is enough to singe me alive.
“What’s it going to be, sunshine?”

Maverick
Impatience vibrates through every thickly corded muscle as I wait for her response.
For one night, I want to know that this girl is mine. That I can play with her body any way I want, all the while fucking her senseless.
A couple of hours spent between the sheets will more than likely do the trick and evict her from my brain.
That’s the way it’s always been. There’s no reason to think the pretty blonde will be any different.
When she remains silent, desperation flares to life within me.
I need this to happen.
Especially now that I’ve gotten a small taste of her.
Somehow, she’s even sweeter than I imagined.
I’d lay odds that she’s just as delicious everywhere.
My cock stiffens at the idea of licking every inch of her delectable little body.
Unable to resist the lure of her mouth, I nip her pouty lower lip and give it a slight tug, hoping it’s enough to wake her from the daze that’s fallen over her.
“I need an answer, sunshine.”
With a blink, her expression transforms, as if she’s once again aware of her surroundings.
She jerks her head in a tight nod. “Okay.”
The relief that crashes over me is almost enough to weaken my knees.
This shitty night will end a hell of a lot better than it started.
She clears her throat as color seeps into her cheeks, as if she’s embarrassed by the situation. Almost as if she doesn’t have much experience in this department.
The feigned innocence is a nice touch.
“I’ll follow you back to your place,” she murmurs, glancing away.
Hell no.
Like I’m going to give her a chance to rethink her decision.
I refuse to let this girl out of my sight for one damn second.
“I didn’t bring my truck, so I’ll ride with you.” My gaze scours hers. “Is that cool?”
She sucks her lower lip between her teeth before chewing it as her brows pinch. This girl is definitely adorable. It’s easy to see why she’s a fan favorite with the East Town team.
