“As much as I want to fill your throat with my cum, I want to fill your cunt even more.” He cups me through my jeans, and I swear it’s like there’s nothing between us. “But first, I’m going to get a taste of this sweet pussy I missed so much. Then I’m going to fuck you against this window, Auden. I want all of Seattle to see who you belong to tonight, understand?”
“God, I missed the taste of you.”
“Mean.” “You love it.” “Never,”
“That’s two,” he says when he pulls away, not stopping his slow, short thrusts. “One more.” “I can’t.” I shake my head, already feeling drowsy from two orgasms. “You will,” he promises.
“I like you in this,”
“But I’d like it better if my name was above that number.”
“What were you daydreaming about?” I don’t answer her because I’m not sure I’m ready to say it was her I was looking at,
When I climb back into bed, she curls against me, but it’s not enough. I drag her even closer until she’s practically on top of me. “Mmm,” she purrs, half asleep. “I could get used to this.” Me too, Auden. Me too.
Only after he presses a kiss to my head does he whisper, “I’ll miss you.” I’ll miss you too, Reed.
“You’ve built a billion-dollar empire. You’ve spent countless days and nights working your ass off, and I doubt you’ve slept more than four hours a night in I don’t know how long.”
“You deserve time off. You deserve a vacation. And if that vacation happens to take you where your hot hockey player is, then that’s where it takes you.”
It doesn’t escape me that the last time I played well was in Seattle…the last time I saw Auden.
Fucking hell, I think I actually miss her.
And I fucking miss Auden.
“What are you doing here?” I whisper. She gives me a knowing smile that tells me everything I want to hear. Me. She’s here for me. “I figured you could use some cheering up,” she says quietly.
“What’s good here?” The others may not see it, but I do—that hint of a smile in the corners of her lips. She obviously knows what’s good here since it’s her hotel. She’s all in on the role she’s playing, though, and I love her dedication to it.
Keller coughs in a poor attempt to cover up a muttered, “Coincidence my ass.”
Don’t do it. Don’t do it. Don’t do it. “I’m going to bed,” I hear myself say. “Yeah, I bet you are.” Keller snickers. “Her bed, maybe.”
like the fucking fool I am, I never make it to my room. I go to Auden’s and show her just how damn badly I missed her.
didn’t realize how much I’d enjoy watching him out on the ice, but every time I see him play, it does something to me, setting all my senses ablaze, and he’s the only one who can extinguish the flames.
“I want you to ride my cock just like this, Auden,” he tells me in that gravelly voice of his. “No touching, just your cunt wrapped around my cock. Got it?” I nod. “Yes.”
“Come on, sweetheart. You can do it,” he tells me when he sees I’m fading. “I want to feel this beautiful cunt of yours squeeze my cock until I fill you up.” I don’t know what it says about me, but his dirty words are just what I need to keep going. Just a few moments later, I’m coming all over him, and he’s making good on his promise to fill me.
I don’t know why I like Hutch’s approval so much, but I do. I get compliments on my properties all the time, but it feels different coming from him. It’s more personal, more…real.
I hope for the first time that the luck never wears off. Because this thing with Hutch? It might just be real.
grimace because that might be the worst of it all. Auden’s worked too damn hard for everything she has for this to ruin her in any way. Hell, I’ve worked too damn hard too. I have to stop it. I need to stop it. But I don’t want
I grimace because I totally did do what she’s accusing me of. I hadn’t planned on it, not really. I just went to California to see Hutch for a night. I didn’t intend to spend nearly a week with him, but man am I glad
“It’s Hutch.”
“What’s hutch?” “Him…it’s Hutch. Or, as you might know him, Reed Hutchinson. As in—” “The points leader of the Seattle Serpents?!” I grimace and nod. “Yes.” “HOLY SHIT, AUDEN!”
You wouldn’t be doing this if you didn’t love him.
Well, it’s almost like we’re dating. It feels like we are, that’s for sure.
I did it because I love creating things. I love tearing down a building, designing a new one, and watching it be built from the ground up. I love filling it with all my favorite things and then watching other people fall in love with it too. I love giving people a home away from home. I’ve done that ten times over now.
“I don’t think your sister likes me very much.” “What? No! She does. That was just Rory speak for, It was nice to meet you, too. Take care of my sister or I’ll bury you in a shallow grave.” His lips pull upward. “You got all that from a single word?” I shrug as he leads us from the bar and to the elevators. “Twin Thing.”
When she assumed I was there for sex, I just let her believe it. The truth was, I wasn’t. I just wanted to be next to her. I’m still not sure how I feel about that.
