Icebound (Boundless Players, #1)

by Meredith Trapp

“So, I’m just going to be indebted to you forever?” “Pretty much.” I wave a hand. “Feel free to bow down and get on your knees.”

“We’re hockey players,” Cruz says. “We don’t fuck with the rituals. Trust me, if I didn’t have to go commando for every game, I wouldn’t.”

“I like her already.” Patty slaps my back. “You’re in so much trouble with that one.” I grab my helmet, feeling the familiar weight in my hands. “Yeah. Don’t I fucking know it.”

“Goodnight, beautiful,” I whisper, stroking her hair. She shifts a little, but her eyes stay closed. “Don’t have sweet dreams. Have wild ones.”

“Fuck it,” I mutter to myself.

I’ll probably come in two seconds once I’m inside her, but that means I’ll get to go down on my knees for this girl.

“I could have you every day, and it still wouldn’t be enough.”

“You forget that I know what it looks like when you lie because I know you, but go ahead and keep lying through those pretty red lips. All it does is make me want to shove my cock in your mouth to stop you. You already know I won’t fuck you like a gentleman.”

Now, all I see is Nina. She snuck up on me, this girl who I thought was all wrong, but maybe that’s the fun part of falling in love, not knowing where you’re going to find it or when it’s right around the corner. Finding someone who makes the dull moments spectacular, who turns grocery shopping into an adventure, and then, you choose to spend all your boring moments together because they don’t feel that way around them.

“What I mean is that you were there the day I was born, and when Mom and Dad are gone, you’ll still be here. Our parents don’t get the end, and our partners won’t get the beginning, but you get it all. You’re my infinity.”
