“She came back, Daisy,” he said over his shoulder.
“You’re drunk. Why?”
“Oh, seemed like a good idea at the time. Best thing that ever happened to me left, and I had no idea where she went. The girl I didn’t want here doesn’t want to leave me alone. You know, that kinda shit.” Keith held the bottle out to her. “Want some?”
“Sure. Can I come in?”
“Uh-huh.” Keith took the bottle back and took another healthy swig. “Stuff’s good, huh?”
“I’m sorry.”
“For what?”
“For not letting you explain. I’m sorry for taking your truck. I’m sorry for leaving like I did.” Kelly believed everything Keith told her. She wasn’t sure why, but she knew he was telling her the truth. His texts were almost frantic. She just knew it in her gut. She decided right then and there that she wouldn’t allow the assholes in her past to ruin her future.
“Yeah? Really? Thanks, Kel.” He moved toward her with purpose. It was like predator and prey, and she had no doubt that she was the prey.
“What…what are you doing?”
“You. In about sixty seconds, I’m going to be doing you.” He pointed to the door behind her. “Right up against that door.”
“But you’re drunk.”
“Not that drunk. Take your clothes off. I could have a bit of a problem with buttons and such, but everything else is working just fine.”
Kelly kind of liked this side of him. Testing him, she asked, “What if I don’t want to?”
“Don’t want to what? Have a couple of mind-blowing orgasms? Take your clothes off, Kelly.” He was already half undressed himself and continued stripping as she watched. “You’re not moving, sweetheart.” He stumbled slightly stepping out of his pants, but regained his balance and stalked over to Kelly.
“I believe I told you twice to take these off, didn’t I? Maybe you don’t like to be told what to do, huh? Okay. How about this?” He leaned in and touched her lips with the barest brush of his.
He tasted like scotch and man—his own special flavor, and she couldn’t get enough. As quickly as she could, she threw her clothes off. She was already wet for him when he ran his hand down over her stomach and into the slick folds, running his thumb over her clit, making her jump.
“That’s what I like. You’re already wet for me.” He took her lips in a demanding kiss and she yielded to him instantly, opening her mouth to him. “I’ll make this up to you later, Kel. I need to fuck you now. Right now.” He picked her up and she wrapped her legs around him. In two steps he had her up against his door and had thrust inside of her, making her call out his name.
“You like that, don’t you sweetheart?” He pulled out slowly and stayed there until she begged for more. As he moved in and out of her, she made the most erotic noises. “I’m going to fuck you hard now, Kel. Hard and fast.”
“Fuck, yes! Do it.”
He put one hand under her ass and one hand on the door for leverage and pounded into her over and over until he could barely see, he wanted to come so bad. She raked her nails down his back in the throes of her orgasm, and he jerked as he came deep inside of her.
Hours later, lying in his bed that they had finally made it to, it dawned on her. She loved him. She loved him with all of her being. He had stolen her heart in a few short weeks, and while it was a good feeling, it was also scary as hell. But she was content to see what the future brought to them.
“I love you, too,” she heard his deep voice whisper sleepily next to her. She hadn’t realized she’d spoken out loud.
Epilogue
Almost a year had gone by and Keith and Kelly were still together and as hot as ever. Kelly, for the first time in her life, had a beautiful place to live and never took it for granted.
“Honey, what are you doing over there?” Keith wished she would stop perfecting every little thing in their home. Their little beach house was perfect for them. It wasn’t huge, but was big enough for the two of them, which was all they needed.
“I’m just cleaning up the kitchen, and then I’m going to touch up that paint in the laundry room.”
Keith got up and gathered her in his arms. “No. Come sit with me and watch the sunset.”
“But there are a couple of spots that I didn’t cover. You know…”
“No. Honey, relax. You don’t have to make everything perfect. I promise, you’ll never have to live like you did growing up. Take your time and enjoy fixing things the way you want, okay?” He understood her need to make things perfect, but she needed to trust that it wasn’t going to disappear overnight.
Kelly smiled. It was still hard for her to believe in her good fortune. “Okay. I love you, Keith. You have no idea how much I love our life together.”
“I do, Kel. I feel the same way.”
Keith’s phone rang as they were on their way out to the deck to watch the sun come down.
“Hey, Vlad, what’s up?”
“I didn’t know if you’d heard. Manny’s gone. They’re bringing in my buddy, Jody LaGrange. He’s a hell of a teammate. And a hell of an enforcer. I think you’ll like him. He’ll even be a help to you in the locker room. The boys look up to him.”
“Really? I’m familiar with him. I agree. It’s a good fit.”
Vlad was almost giddy. “I have even better news. Ace is gone. My new backup is a new kid. Cage Booker. Looks like he might be another smart ass, but he can’t be as bad as Ace, can he?”
Keith laughed at Vlad’s enthusiasm. “Well, I guess time will tell.”

Acknowledgments
First and foremost, I have to thank Beth MacMullin. She is the best beta reader who ever existed. Any errors in this novella are mine alone.
Special thanks to Julie Mancini and Alison Blatman, who brought my attention to this awesome anthology. Not to mention the rest of Nikki’s Puck Bunnies, who simply rock!
Thanks to the other authors involved in this most excellent anthology. Raising money for charity is not only needed, it selfishly makes me feel good.
Last, but not least, to the NHL, who gave us the idea of donating our time and efforts. The NHL, time and time again, proves how much they are dedicated to those who are dealing with this awful disease. Cancer has affected almost everyone on the planet. I can almost guarantee that all of us know someone who has it, has had it, or has lost someone to it.
This novella is for all of you.

About Coming Together
Coming Together is about giving and about sex—a tantalizing combination in any context. Conceived online in the Literotica®com Authors' Hangout, a forum for erotica writers, Coming Together is the passionate product of many talented individuals.
We were all amateurs when the first erotic cocktail was served in the spring of 2005. In the years since the inaugural volume hit the cyber shelves of Café Press, many of the original contributors have become successful professionals: authors, poets, editors, and artists. To date, Coming Together has compiled over a dozen collections, launched individual full-length and novella lines, and has many more anthologies in the works. I am thrilled with and humbled by both the quantity and quality of the submissions received.
In each volume, we strive for an inclusive mix, embracing the diversity of de
sire. The causes we champion cross all demographic groups and so, appropriately, does Coming Together. Note, however, that these pages may contain fantastic stories in which the characters do not practice safe sex. Everyone involved with the publication of Coming Together encourages its readers to act responsibly and to take appropriate precautions against both unwanted pregnancy and the transmission of disease.
All proceeds from the sale of this edition of Coming Together will be donated to Hockey Fights Cancer charities.
Bottoms up!
peace & passion,
