Puck Battles: A Complete Sports Romance Series

by Kristen Echo

  Her eyes drifted down to her ragged, pink tank top and matching short shorts. The color had faded from years of wash. Her pajamas were comfortable but far from sexy. She hadn’t thought that through when she’d packed. Another mistake Lindy and her sister never would have made. They were always put together, making it seem effortless.

  She rolled her eyes at that thought. “We’ll find ways to occupy our time. Don’t worry about us,” she said, hoping to come across as chipper.

  “I’ll text you later, in case you change your mind. Give Dad a kiss, April.” He crouched down and embraced his daughter. A cordial nod was all Meagan got and then he left.

  Secret relationships sucked.

  Meagan refused to allow her personal life to affect her professional one. After she got ready, they spent the day exploring Nashville and everything cool it offered for kids. Which turned out to be a lot. Nashville was definitely a city she’d love to return to one day since they’d barely scratched the surface of fun things to do.

  While April played in a playground they’d stumbled upon, Meagan sat on the bench and returned emails and messages. She set up five interviews for when she returned to the city and she wasn’t looking forward to any of them.

  Cameron sent a message, interrupting her email. “Are you having fun?”

  She responded with pictures of April smiling and laughing at the different locations they’d visited. The one she liked the best was a selfie of the two of them, licking ice-cream cones in front of the Music Hall of Fame. “We’re rocking it!” She texted.

  The response came within seconds. “I won’t be back until after bedtime. Keep smiling.”

  Her smile faded and then disappeared when she listened to her father’s voice messages. He was furious that she’d left town with Cameron. He also wanted an answer about Easter dinner. She’d been avoiding that question because she wasn’t sure what to tell him. Cameron had the weekend off. He wouldn’t need her to stick around, but she wanted to make an Easter hunt for April. The few times she’d brought up the holidays he’d changed the subject.

  She wasn’t in the mood to talk with her father, so she sent a text to her sister instead. “Mark me down as tentative for Easter.”

  “You can’t hide from them. Be safe.” Hailey responded, making her laugh.

  Meagan put her phone away for the rest of the afternoon and spent it having fun with her favorite kid. They weren’t able to join Cameron for dinner, but they still had a good time. All the walking had tuckered April out, and she passed out two pages into a book. Meagan changed into her pajamas and walked into the room at the same time as Cameron.

  “She fell asleep like two seconds ago. Sorry, you missed story time,” she said, leaning against the door as he approached the bed.

  Cameron bent over, kissed his daughter and fixed her covers. “Sleep tight, beautiful girl. I love you.”

  He said the word so freely, it made her wonder how he felt about her. Would he ever say those three little words? She wanted to shower him with kisses and tell him she loved him, but kept her mouth shut. It was too soon. He glanced at her over his shoulder and nodded towards her room. The heated look he sent her, had the word riding on the tip of her tongue.

  “Did you eat?” She asked with a shaky voice.

  “Good idea. Let’s go in the other room.” He stalked into the adjoining room and closed the door.

  Meagan expected another night of cuddles, kissing and intimacy. She wasn’t expecting to turn around and find Cameron naked from the waist down. His semi-hard shaft, growing by the second.

  “What are you… oh my.” She looked around the room. Another hotel room, similar to any other with nothing distinguishable other than different paintings.

  “Take your clothes off. I’m in the mood for something sweet. You will have to be extra quiet though. That is, if you still want me?”

  “Of course I still want you. Why would you ask that?”

  He pulled off his shirt and added it to the pile on the leather chair by the desk. “Because I woke up without you. Because you’ve been standoff-ish all day. You’ve been acting different since I told you about my past. I don’t know what to think, but I get hard every time I see you. By the way, I really liked that ice-cream picture. So, can you be completely silent while I lick your pussy and make you come so hard your legs shake?”

  “I can be quiet. Can you?” She teased him, lifting her top over one breast and then lowering it.

  “Your tongue on the cone has been tormenting me all day. I can’t handle any more teasing.” His long stride devoured the distance between them. He yanked down her shorts and panties. “Were you avoiding me today?”

  She wanted to say no, but she had been. “A little,” she admitted as she lifted off her shirt.

  He picked her up and carried her to the bed. “Why?” Cameron set her down in the middle and crawled between her legs. He spread her wide open and his face was inches from her wet mound. He blew cold air over the sensitive area and she shivered from head to toe.

  “I’m getting too attached. I like you more than I should.” She covered her face with her hands.

  His tongue slid through her folds from back to front. “That makes me happy. I fucking thought all that shit with Nicole had turned you off. I like this scenario much better.” He nuzzled his face between her open legs and sucked on her clit.

  The scruff on his chin tickled her thighs. Her back arched and her fingers gripped his head. “Oh my… oh!” She chewed her lip to stop from screaming and ground her body against his mouth.

  “Those books you read make it seem like eating pussy is some chore. As if men don’t like it. I fucking love licking you.” He wiggled his tongue in deep, slurping her moisture as she grabbed a pillow to silence her moans. “You taste so sweet, Meagan.”

  She covered her face as he pushed two fingers inside her. He pumped his hand and flicked her pleasure center back and forth. He repeated those actions until her legs buckled. The orgasm shot through her like a tidal wave, soaking both of them.

  He pushed her onto her side and lifted her leg over his hip. “Why do you read those things? The guys are all jerks who think they’re hot shit. Being rich and making a woman come doesn’t make them heroes,” he said, pushing inside her.

  “I never expected you to read them,” she moaned the last word as he pinched her hard nipple and licked her neck. She adjusted her leg to take him deeper. “The books paint a fantasy. Not all the leading men are assholes. They’re dominant, sexy and commanding. It’s a distraction from the nine-to-five average life.”

  He thrust and moved his hand over her ass. “You can be in charge without being a controlling douche. No one should settle for average. Especially, average sex.”

  She pulled his head towards her and they kissed. There was nothing average about him or the way they made love. It was deep, sensual and made her feel alive. They moved together as one and he pushed them both past the boiling point. She never wanted to look back.

  Chapter 14

  She fell asleep in his arms again and woke up alone. Again. That feeling was getting old fast.

  The game day excitement soothed the sting. It was impossible not to get caught up in the hype, especially when surrounded by an entire hockey team. At breakfast, Cameron introduced her as his friend. Not his nanny or employee, not his girlfriend either, but his friend. It was progress she figured. The title mattered little when they sat together and shared their lives.

  Meagan’s cheeks hurt from smiling. The hockey fan in her was on cloud nine. She sat in a room with smoking hot athletes and somehow managed to not combust. Her rambling exploded out of control, causing her companions to laugh. April finished her meal and walked around the room, winning the hearts of everyone she spoke with.

  As the room thinned, Cameron leaned over. “I like that you wore my jersey today,” he whispered in her ear.

  “No one else’s I’d rather wear,” she replied as her leg bounced under the table. There wa
s too much testosterone in the room not to get light-headed.

  “I like your tight pants too.” He sat back in his chair. “Do you want to go see your ol’ buddy Joe? He showed up late, as usual.” Cameron squeezed her knee under the table, stopping her nervous twitch.

  “No. That’s okay.” If she got any more turned on, she was liable to rip Cameron’s clothes off in front of his buddies and ride him until the ache went away. Which she suspected might be never ending.

  “Are you sure? I thought you had a crush on him?” His hand wiggled between her closed legs and cupped her sex. “Are you only hot for me now?”

  Her eyes rolled back in her head. The man tortured her for his own enjoyment. “It’s only you. I thought you said you weren’t like the assholes in my books. Teasing and sadistic.”

  “Your cheeks are so pink, Meagan, I’d have to spank your ass for hours to get them to match. I’ve told you I’m only into pleasure.” He rubbed her harder as she squirmed. “Sit still.”

  “Cam…” Her words faded as he slipped inside her pants and panties and entered her. Her legs opened on their own, giving him better access. She leaned forward and buried her face in her hands.

  He fingered her in a room packed with his colleagues. “Great meal wasn’t it?” He asked, pumping his fingers into her slick center.

  “Hmm,” she moaned when his hand moved so fast she couldn’t keep it in. Her core tightened, and she was so close.

  “Hey Cam!” Joe Larson approached across the table with a giggling April on his back. “Did you lose something?”

  “More like found it,” he replied as he pressed deeper, hitting her G-Spot.

  “Yeah!” Meagan yelped as the climax exploded. She peeked through her fingers, mortified by her outburst.

  Joe looked between the two and smiled. A knowing smile that prevented her from lowering her hands. “April, let’s check out the desserts before it’s game time.”

  “Giddy up, horsie!” She cried, kicking against his sides and hugging his neck.

  They left and Meagan dropped her head onto the table. Cameron removed his hand and chuckled. “Dessert was exactly what I was after too.”

  She glanced at him as he licked his fingers. “You’re insane. You know that, right?”

  “Crazy for you.” He winked and stood as Mr. Northcote entered the room. “I’ll catch you and April after the game. I need to talk with him.”

  Meagan couldn’t believe what they’d done, but she had to admit her nerves had lessened. The orgasm had an instant calming effect. She straightened in her seat and smiled at Mr. Northcote when he nodded in her direction. The chair scraped across the wooden floors as she got up from the table. Making her way over, April cut her off. She’d ditched her pony and plowed into Meagan. They almost toppled over.

  “Sorry,” she said, wrapping her arms around Meagan’s legs and spinning them in a circle.

  “What’s the rush, little Miss?”

  “Uncle Joe told me a secret and I want to share it.”

  She laughed. “If it’s a secret you’re not supposed to share it.”

  “Oh.” Her face fell and Meagan knew the feeling.

  Suddenly, friend and secret lover wasn’t as appealing as it had been an hour ago. When she looked around the room, Cameron and Mr. Northcote were gone. She glanced at her watch, it was nearing game time.

  “Let’s go back to the room, grab all our stuff and finish packing. Pretty soon we’ll head to the arena and watch your daddy play some hockey.” She took April’s hand, and they smiled at each other.

  “I love hockey,” she said, skipping towards the door.

  “Me too.”

  They managed to pack and have everything ready with minutes to spare. But unfortunately, they didn’t make it to the game until after the first period. April had had a minor meltdown over which stuffed animals to bring to the arena. Her tantrum wasn’t the worst Meagan had dealt with, but it took the wind out of April’s sails. The little girl fell asleep right after and had napped for well over an hour.

  Their absence hadn’t impacted the results of the game. The guys were on fire and leading by two goals. Whatever adjustments the coaches and management had made had worked. They finished strong with a three to nothing victory. The hockey game was a hit and everyone was in great spirits.

  The flight home went fast. It wasn’t too late when they arrived. Past April’s bedtime, but still a decent hour. Cameron carried a sleeping April to bed. After they brought in the bags, Meagan excused herself to shower and wash the hours of travel off her skin.

  The long, hot shower was exactly what she needed. She took her time, washed her hair and shaved. When she returned to her room wearing only a towel, she wasn’t alone. Cameron had showered and was sprawled naked across the bed.

  “I’m in the mood to celebrate. Drop the towel and let me see you.” He licked his lips.

  She let go of the terrycloth and spun around, giving him a full three-hundred-and-sixty-degree view. “Like what you see, sir?”

  He growled and sat up. “Very much. I’ll like it even more when you’re bent over with my dick inside you. Bring that luscious ass over here.”

  He made her feel like the most gorgeous creature on the planet. Her confidence was at an all-time high as she sashayed her hips, slowly making her way towards him. When she got within arm’s reach, she stopped and pulled the wooden chair over. She gripped the top and bent over, wiggling her ass at him in the process.

  “Is this what you had in mind?” She glanced over her shoulder and his dimples greeted her.

  An instant later, he stood behind her. His hands roamed the soft contours of her ass and dipped between her open legs. She soaked his fingers; so wet and ready for him.

  “Do you like it when I touch you?” He rubbed along her slit, pressing his erection between her legs. “Bend all the way over. Get your ass up nice and high.”

  Cameron replaced his hand with his cock, teasing her. He brushed his length along her entrance but didn’t penetrate. He squeezed her ass, spreading her cheeks apart.

  “I love it,” she said, getting into the position he wanted. His lips pressed between her shoulder blades and followed down her spine. “I love the way you touch me and how you make me feel… Ahhh!” Meagan groaned when his tongue lashed out across her rosebud hole.

  It surprised her how much she enjoyed those naughty kisses. She moaned as he lavished attention to the area. His fingers kneaded her softness as he licked her, introducing her to a wild new form of ecstasy. A flood of arousal spilled down her leg as he moved one hand over her sex. The tiny amount of pressure against her clit was all she needed for an orgasm to shake through her body like an earthquake of pleasure.

  “Oh… Cameron,” she panted. Her back arched, and she gripped the chair to prevent from falling over.

  “Hmmm. I love the way you feel too.” He angled his cock at her entrance and pressed her legs together.

  No other words were said as he thrust in deep. His balls smacked against her wet thighs at breakneck speed. The next orgasm built. She expected it to be even more stupendous than the last.

  The doorbell rang, cutting short their celebration.

  “Shit,” he said and pulled out. “I’ll get rid of them.”

  Meagan’s face reddened from being bent over and from her climax. She stood up and wobbled, feeling light-headed. Cameron grabbed the towel she’d dropped on the floor and wrapped it around his waist. From the look in his eyes, whoever was at the door would not be staying.

  He left, and she traipsed to her closet and grabbed her robe. A moment later she heard voices. She tied the sash and poked her head out of her room. Her spine stiffened. Her parents stood next to Cameron, and they weren’t smiling.

  Unexpected visitors were one thing, but her parents were another.

  “I see you, Meagan. Come out here.” Her father’s voice carried down the hall even though he wasn’t yelling. Authority followed him around like a cloak.

 
She scurried out of her room, clutching her robe closed. Her mother’s eyes widened when she took in her attire and her flushed face. Meagan touched her cheek, and the heat was unmistakable. “Hello. What… why are you here?”

  Her mother’s nostrils flared as she looked from Meagan to Cameron and back again. “Spencer was kind enough to inform us when your flight arrived. We expected a call from you, but it never came. I haven’t seen you since you took this assignment.” Her voice dripped contempt as if the word assignment was evil. “We wanted to see the conditions you are being subjected to. Make sure you’re all right. We worry about you.”

  “I’m fine,” she answered, though no one listened. They worried about everything it seemed.

  The Colonel stepped next to Cameron. The men were close to the same height. If her father was trying to use his size to intimidate the hockey player, he failed. “Is this how you always answer the door? Half-naked and dripping with sweat.”

  Cameron smiled. “Not usually. You caught me in the middle of a workout. I assume you’re here to shoot the breeze with Meagan. So, I’ll leave you to it. Feel free to look around and check out the conditions. I have nothing to hide.”

  “Not so fast. We came to speak with both of you,” her father said, pointing at the couch.

  “Please,” her mother added. “It will only take a moment.”

  Meagan sank down onto the soft leather. This was the same routine her father performed with every man she’d dared to date. Only they didn’t know she was secretly dating Cameron. For all they knew, he was her boss. She was mortified that they’d over step their role like this.

  “Cameron, you don’t have to stay. Mom and Dad this isn’t necessary.” She shook her head.

  “It’s okay, I’m interested to hear whatever they have to say. Must be important since you drove across the city at this late hour.” He leaned against the recliner but didn’t sit. “I’m all ears. Please, make yourselves comfortable.”

  Her father remained standing and her mother stood by his side. “We’ve never been formally introduced. I’m Colonel Rylen.”
