Karma is a bitch, man.
Shaking my head, I meet Baylor’s gaze. “This was my brother’s bed. He had all the girls in his bed.”
“Yeah, because Jayden couldn’t get laid,” Jace laughs, and that’s it.
“Excuse me,” I say to her before hopping over her and landing hard on the floor. Both of the guys look back at me, and when their eyes go wide, it takes everything in me not to laugh. Reaching for my hockey stick, I go to the Xbox, ready to shoot the damn thing through the wall as I say, “Get the fuck out now, or the Xbox gets it.”
“You wouldn’t,” Jace says, but I can see the uneasiness in his eyes. He isn’t sure if I will or not. But I will.
“Five…four…” I start, and Markus laughs.
“Are you seriously counting down? Like we’re kids?”
“Three…two… I’ll kill it, I will,” I say, pulling the stick back farther.
“Y’all just go,” Baylor says from the bed. “I really do want to play later.”
Looking up at me, Jace doesn’t move. “Admit that something is going on.”
“Get out,” I say sternly. “Now.”
When he doesn’t move, I shrug and go to shoot the damn thing into the wall, but Jace throws his hands up.
“Fine! We’re going! Jeez, crybaby,” he yells at me as he gets up, shutting the game off. “God, Baylor, why don’t you get him off so he isn’t so crabby!”
“Shut your mouth, Jace. I’m warning you,” I advise him in a very low voice.
Glaring at me, they both walk out of the room, slamming the door shut. Reaching forward, I lock it before laying my stick against the wall.
“You don’t think they’ll say anything, do you?” Baylor asks as I hop onto the trampoline and into the bed. Crawling over her, I shake my head as I settle in next to her.
“Not if they value their lives,” I say, hitting play on the remote. My blood pressure is through the roof, and I’ve decided that I’m going to poison their Lucky Charms in the morning. Sucking in a deep, cleansing breath, I let it out slowly as the show starts.
“Hmm.”
Looking over at her, my brow rises. “Hmm, what?”
“I thought, ‘Let’s watch Supernatural’ was code for ‘Let’s have sex,’” she admits shyly and I grin.
“It is,” I tease back, and she laughs as she shakes her head. “But I was gonna let one episode pass before I put the moves on you.”
Giggling, she looks toward the TV. “Do you think we’ll make it the whole episode?”
“I don’t know, wanna bet on it?” I ask playfully, and she looks over at me, her eyes swimming with desire.
“Yup, you’re going down.”
I flash her a dirty grin. “In your dreams, sweetheart.”
She wrinkles her nose at me, and I know it’s because she doesn’t like pet names, but I don’t care. I like the looks she gives me when I say them. They are a mix of contempt and really liking them. She’s just not used to them. Kissing her nose, I lean back against the bed and look toward the TV as the episode starts. When she leans her head on my shoulder, I smile.
“I thought you didn’t like cuddling,” I tease, and she shrugs, throwing her leg over mine.
“I don’t,” she answers but doesn’t say any more, and I don’t ask. Her actions speak louder than her words, and it’s killing me not to smother her with my body. Sucking in a breath to calm my need because I am not going to lose to her, I try to concentrate on the episode. But it’s so fucking hard.
Every movement she makes steals my attention. When she laughs, I can’t breathe. When she slides her hand in my pocket, yeah, I almost come undone. I want to bury myself in her, get lost in her beautiful splendor, but I will outlast this episode.
When her phone vibrates against my hip, she pulls it out before turning to her back, her head still against my ribs as she reads it. Call me nosy, but I find myself looking at the screen to see that it’s Delanie.
Delanie: Whatcha doing?
Baylor: Watching TV.
Delanie: Boring ho.
Well, isn’t that a nice way to talk to your friend, not that I have any room to talk. Baylor scoffs as she writes back.
Baylor: For your information, it’s with Jayden.
Delanie: SHUT THE HELL UP! ARE YOU NAKED?!
Baylor: Calm your tits, jeez. No! We are watching TV.
Delanie: Again, boring ho.
Baylor: lol. Whatever. I’m cuddling. Can you believe it?
Delanie: …what? With him?
Baylor: Yeah. Isn’t that what you do with a guy?
Delanie: Hold on, I missed something. Are y’all together now?
I can feel her grinning against my ribs, and for some reason I hold my breath as she types her back.
Baylor: Yeah. We are.
Delanie: What the shit! That’s so weird!
Baylor: Why?
Delanie: Cuz you don’t date! Are you sure you’re not just hooking up?
Baylor: Nope, I’m trying the whole relationship thing.
Delanie: Holy shit! You really like him then?
Baylor: I do.
“I do too,” I say suddenly, and she jumps before pressing her phone to her chest.
Looking up at me, her face turns red as she glares up at me. “Eavesdropping mothereffer, eh?”
I grin. “Maybe.”
“I’m pretty sure your momma would frown upon you doing that.”
“Good thing she isn’t here,” I say, tipping her head back, dropping my mouth so close to hers. “Or she would frown upon this.”
I then take her mouth with mine before cupping her face in my hand as she kisses me back. When I lick her lips with my tongue, she opens her mouth, allowing me the access I so desperately need. Deepening the kiss, I’m surprised when she comes up on her hands, covering my body with hers. Sliding my hands down her back, I slide them into her sweat pants to cup her bare ass.
Tearing my mouth from hers, I gasp up at her. “Wicked girl. Where are your panties?”
Biting into her lip, she shrugs. “I thought you wanted to do it.”
“Oh, I do,” I say, bringing her mouth back down to mine. “So fucking bad,” I whisper against her lips before kissing her deeply again. As she drops her legs to the sides of my hips, I can feel the heat of her against my jeans, and I’m pretty sure I just died. Gasping against her lips, I lift her tank up and over her head. How did I not notice she didn’t have a bra on? Good thing, though. If I had, I wouldn’t have even started the damn episode.
Taking her nipple between my lips, I suck her into my mouth as she arches her back, gasping out. The sound is better than hearing a stick against a puck; it’s simply breathtaking. As I give love to the other nipple, her hands lace through my hair and she grinds against my growing cock. It’s so hard it hurts, but I’m always like that when she’s around. Kissing up her chest, I nibble on her neck before tapping her hips. “Sit up so I can get these off.”
“You’re still dressed,” she mentions as she does what I ask. But when I start tearing off my clothes, she laughs. “Never mind.”
I chuckle as I hop off the bed, going to my dresser for a condom. Tearing off my jeans and boxers, I leave them on the ground as I jump onto the trampoline, landing next to her. I expect to find her all hot and sexy, but she is sputtering with laughter.
“What?” I ask, breathless as I drink in her naked body. She has a tattoo on her hip, a little hockey stick with the number 50 on it. I go to lick it, but she says, “Did you not see the way your dick swung around when you hopped on the trampoline?”
I scoff as I shake my head. “Sorry, I have one thing on my mind,” I say as she giggles while I cover her body with mine.
“I do too, but it was funny,” she says, breathless as I trail kisses down her belly.
“Shut up, Moore,” I say, and she snaps her mouth shut, biting her lip as she arches her back, her mound right there for my taking.
Running my tongue along her tattoo, I ask, �
�When did you get this?”
“Eighteenth birthday.”
“It’s cute.”
“Yeah, it’s my only one. Unlike you, who is covered. How many do you have?”
“A lot,” is all I can say before taking her pussy with my mouth. Thankfully, she doesn’t ask any more questions as my mouth moves along her wet center. Arching into my mouth, she cries out, but then she covers her mouth to keep quiet. I want her to be loud, and my next mission is to find somewhere where we can go crazy. I want to watch her lose control, scream my name so loud that it rattles my soul. Ugh, the thought has me trembling as I insert a finger inside of her tight, hot hole. As I move my tongue in figure eights along her taut clit, I fuck her slowly with my fingers as she squirms underneath my mouth.
“Oh fuck, oh fuck, oh fuck,” she pants, arching into my mouth. “Ugh! Jay!”
As she comes undone, I gasp against her wanton pussy before licking up her arousal. Thank God we are on the bottom floor of the house or everyone would know we are fucking. Hell, they probably already do, not that I’ll tell her that; she’d freak. Kissing her on her pelvic bone, I sit back on my haunches, looking down at her sweat-sheened skin, drinking her in. She’s magnificent.
“You’re so fucking hot,” I mutter as I slide the condom down my cock. “I want you. So fucking bad.”
She doesn’t say anything, her half-lidded eyes trained on me as she bites into her naughty swollen lips. Leaning down, I press my chest to hers, moving my fingers down her jaw as I cover her mouth with mine. As my teeth sink into her bottom lip, I can’t help but think, no wonder she always does that, it’s fucking incredible. She gasps against my mouth, her fingers biting into my ass as she grinds her wet pussy all over my cock. Closing my eyes, I move my lips along hers, basking in the feel of her arousal all over me. I’ve never felt like this. Never felt so consumed by another person. I’ve had sex with a lot of women—I’m no virgin—but as I make love to Baylor, I know this is singular.
That she’s different.
And all mine.
When I’m unable to take it any longer, I sit back, taking her hips and tilting them up so I can enter her in one thrust. Her eyes squeeze shut as I fill her completely, my hands gripping her hard. Wrapping her legs around my waist, I slowly move in and out of her, each thrust taking her breath away. And mine. My cock is throbbing, my skin feels like it’s on fire, and she is just so fucking beautiful. Falling to my hands, I go deeper into her, causing her to suck in a breath as her eyes meet mine. Trailing my mouth along hers, I pull her leg back as I slowly pump in and out of her.
Her hot pussy sucks me in and squeezes me to no end. She’s coming again, my name falling sweetly off her lips, and soon it’s too much to take. Unable to hold it off anymore, my toes curl up as I come hard inside of her. Biting into her shoulder to keep from crying out, I jerk into her, my whole body going rigid as my orgasm rocks my world.
“Fuck,” I mutter before I kiss the spot I bit. “Holy fuck.”
“That is absolutely right,” she gasp against my ear, kissing down my jaw before nuzzling her nose along the scruff on my jaw.
Pulling back, I look deeply into her eyes as I move my thumb along her lips. A sneaky little kitten grin is on her lips as she asks, “Is all my lipstick gone?”
“Yeah.”
She makes a face. “Ugh, I need to get the long-wearing kind.”
“No.”
“No?”
“You don’t need it.”
“I don’t?”
“Nope,” I say, moving my nose along hers. Pulling back, I smile down at her and say, “All you have to do is smile, and boom, you’re gorgeous.” Like I wanted, she grins up at me, and I smile back before whispering, “See, perfection.”
Her face fills with color as she hides her face in my neck. “Stop,” she mutters.
But I shake my head. “Never.”
I’ll never stop.
“By the way, I won,” she says and I know it’s to change the subject.
I can’t help but laugh as I nod. “I fully accept defeat.”
“Against me?” she asks, feigning shock, and I nod.
“Only against you.”
It’s been four days since I found myself in Jayden’s bed and my body is still humming. He was not playing around; Jayden put it down, hard-core, and I’ve never felt so damn good in my life. But at the same time, the way he looked in my eyes, the way he moved against me, and I swear the way he made me feel has completely freaked me out. There was no control. I had made sure not to wear panties, planned to ride him like a cowgirl the way I wanted, but then I got down there and he really wanted to watch TV. Completely took me by surprise and kinda threw me off my game. And then when things heated up, he was the one taking control.
And that had me swooning.
I mean, like my heart was coming out of my chest, fireworks going off around his head, and little hearts swimming around us. It was utterly girlie and disgusting but…I liked it. A lot. More than I would ever want to admit, and I tried to hide my face to try to get my wits about me, but he kept coming at me. Line after line that wasn’t a line. He spoke from his heart, and a little piece of me just broke. Now, I’m not saying I’m falling for the guy, but man, he is making it hard not to.
But I can’t let that happen.
I fell way too hard before. Like face first in love with Seth, and I won’t allow that to happen. Not until I am completely sure that Jayden is it. When I look at him and know that I can’t go on without him is when I’ll allow myself to fall. Until then though, I’m gonna keep my heart locked up tight behind my ribs. That’s my plan, at least. But when I look across the locker room, watching as his arms flex with each pull of his laces, a little piece of me knows I’m fighting a losing battle. But I’m gonna fight it. I have to.
Because if I fall, I’ll fall hard, and that scares the bejesus out of me.
Looking up, his eyes meet mine and a little grin pulls at his lips as his cheeks fill with color. It’s adorable and completely unlike him, but it gives me chills to know I’ve caused it. For the last couple nights, we’ve been watching TV together with only stolen touches here and there. Jace and Markus are on to us, and we keep having to throw them off. I even sat on the other end of the bed last night, which pissed him off, but it needed to be done.
We have to keep this a secret, not only for me but for him too. I can’t let what happened to Seth happen to Jayden. No matter if he hurts me, I can’t let his career suffer. He cares for so many people, he cares for me, and even when I was being a bitch to him, he looked out for me. I have to look out for him. It’s the only right thing to do, and this is the only way I feel. At least until I know that he isn’t going anywhere, and then I’ll discuss it with my dad.
Which has my heart palpitating in my chest.
But then I remember that we are at the rink. It’s time for business, and quickly, I tie up my skates before finishing getting dressed. I hit the ice first, which I like, gives me time to warm up before the warm-up. As I skate around, I stretch out my neck and back, but somehow, I know exactly when Jayden’s skates hit the ice. He doesn’t skate with me, which I’m a little disappointed by. Then I mentally kick myself for that since I am the one pushing for him to keep this quiet, but then Markus is skating with me. And really, it’s hard to be disappointed or sad when Markus is around.
He’s a riot.
“So, ready for the dance team tryouts?” he asks, doing the robot, and I raise an eyebrow.
“What?” I ask, confused. Surely they don’t expect me to dance. I’m a hockey player, for shit’s sake!
“We get to help pick the dancers for the dance team. It’s like the best part of being on the team.”
“Oh,” I say with a chuckle, but then I look at him, deadpan. “Yeah, no, that doesn’t excite me.”
Especially since I know that wrestler chick is trying out.
Bitch.
Markus laughs at that while shaking his head. “Well, get
excited.”
“Yeah, I’ll work on that,” I say offhandedly as my dad blows the whistle.
Then it’s time to work.
Practice is no different than it usually is. It’s hard, it’s ruthless, and I spend most of my time breathless. I wish I could say it was because of the strenuous workout, but it has a lot to do with watching Jayden shoot a puck. He is absolutely the hottest dude I’ve ever seen shoot a puck. His whole body moves, and then like a strike of lightning, the puck is flying toward the net, going past Shane in an effortless way. He isn’t out of breath. He’s a fucking beast! It’s insane.
And so fucking hot.
“Fastest shot I’ve seen in the college league,” Dad calls out with a shake of his head, and pride bursts in my chest. “Good job, Sinclair.”
Yup, I had sex with that guy last night.
“Why are you grinning like that?” Jace asks, and my grin drops.
“Shut up,” I say, throwing my shoulder into his chest and knocking him into the board.
“Hey!”
“Hey,” I say back as I skate backward, sending him a playful grin.
Dad blows the whistle and then we are running drills. I skate down ice fast with Jace and Markus. Jace carries the puck, but when he is about to shoot, someone poke checks it out, but then Jayden is there, stealing it back, turning before quickly sending it to me. I knew he was going to do it, so I’m ready, and just as quickly as he passes it, I slap shot it into the back of the goal with ease.
“Great shot, Moore,” he calls to me and I nod.
“Thanks,” I call out as we set up for the next drill.
Over and over again, we successfully bang out each drill. By the end of practice, my dad is grinning, which doesn’t happen often. Folding his arms across his chest, he looks out at all of us as we gather around him. Everyone is breathing hard and I’m not any better, but Jayden is breathing normally. He really should be in the NHL, but then again, if he were, then I doubt we would have met. Or we probably would have, but I would have never seen him again.
