He flexes his hips until his thick erection can nudge me. “The biggest.” One brow lifts in askance. “Wouldn’t you say?”
I shift as heat pools in my core. “Maybe too big?”
I’m joking.
Sort of.
He smirks. “Nah. It’s the perfect fit.” His voice turns into even more of a growl. “It’ll just take a lot of stroking and licking to get that sweet little pussy ready. And I’m more than willing to do it. In fact, I’d be upset if I couldn’t.”
All this talk of foreplay has even more arousal sparking to life inside my core, and I shift on his lap.
His hands tighten around my hips. “You need to stop squirming, or I’ll drag your ass out of here right now.”
Erin stops by to take our order before sending a little wink my way. “Looking cozy over there, Fallyn.”
She’s not wrong.
Britt took off and headed home after the game, but all the other girls are seated around the table. Like me, Juliette is perched on Ryder’s lap. I’ve noticed that he doesn’t like her to be very far. He’s always touching her as if he wants everyone to understand that she belongs to him now. I glance around the table and realize that all the guys are like that with their girlfriends. Ford’s arm is casually slung around Carina’s shoulders. The same with Stella and Riggs.
And Vi and Madden?
My heart actually melts because they have such a long history. I never expected to see them together again, but I’ve been pleasantly surprised by how easily they’ve fallen back into a relationship.
My cousin and I share a look before she snuggles against her boyfriend. I love seeing her so happy.
Contented.
Those thoughts are enough to have my gaze shifting back to Wolf.
Not once did I ever think we’d speak again, much less get together. No matter how much I longed for this when I was a teenager, those fantasies crumbled to dust after the car crash. The crazy part is that all the years sitting between us have melted away like snow in the springtime.
“Tell me what you’re thinking,” he whispers, warm breath feathering across the outer shell of my ear. It sends a delicate shiver dancing down my spine. I’m still getting used to the way he affects me.
“Just that I really missed you being in my life.”
His expression turns sober. “You know that I feel the same, right?”
I nod.
He’s been very clear about his feelings for me. There haven’t been any of the usual games people our age play. With Wolf, there never were. Not where I was concerned. When I think back to our youth, I realize that his intentions were always there.
I was just too naïve to recognize them.
Just as he brushes his lips across mine, Sully lumbers onto the stage and raises his hands to be heard over the laughter and chatter that hums around us.
He brings the microphone to his lips. “Our boys brought home another win tonight!” He searches the thick crowd before pointing to Wolf. “In large part to our talented goalie!”
Applause and catcalls break out, vibrating off the walls.
A reluctant smile lifts Wolf’s lips as he gives him a nod of acknowledgment but nothing more. Unlike some of his teammates, he’s never been one to soak up the accolades and bask in the attention.
Even when he has every right to do so.
He played an amazing game tonight. Everyone seated around me couldn’t stop talking about it. He was like an unstoppable brick wall. Nothing got past him.
And I couldn’t be prouder.
“Get up here, Westerville. You’re starting us off tonight!”
Wolf shakes his head and pitches his voice just loud enough to be heard over the dull roar of the crowd. “Nah, that’s all right. I prefer to watch the show rather than be part of it.”
Everyone gets in on the action, hounding and harassing until he finally grumbles, “Fine.”
His fingers tighten around my waist as he lifts me to my feet before rising to his.
With a quick kiss pressed against my lips, he whispers, “This one’s for you, angel.”
And then he’s gone, parting the sea of people like Moses as he makes his way to the stage. As soon as Wolf jumps onto the platform, Sully throws an arm around his shoulders like he just found his long-lost son.
It’s kind of adorable.
The older bar owner has so much genuine affection for the hockey players and the Wildcats program. I used to think it was because he was trying to live vicariously through the younger guys but it’s so much more than that. It goes back to them all being one big family.
Once a Wildcat, always a Wildcat.
Even though Wolf’s placid expression never falters, I realize that he doesn’t enjoy the limelight. When his gaze settles on mine, I blow him a kiss. From across the space that separates us, I see the way his eyes darken with need and a little thrill shoots through me knowing that I’m the one he’ll be taking home at the end of the night.
