“I missed so much, and if you want to talk—” “I don’t. Not about that.”
tell you anything you want, but just not about when you left.”
“Nothing. Go back to sleep.” “Can’t now,” she says, lifting to a seated position. “Once I’m up, I’m up.” Her head swivels around, eyes half closed. “What time is it?” “Past nine.” “Holy shit. We slept until nine? You slept until nine?”
She, of course, abides by my schedule, but when she’s not micromanaging me, she definitely doesn’t live a rigid life. She never did.
“Hence why I laughed,” I say, shrugging one shoulder.
“Are you okay?” She reaches out and touches my forehead. “Are you sick?”
Cass. Just happy.” With that, she rewards me with an earth-shattering smile. One that I swear lights up the room. “What do you have planned today?”
“Whatever you need me to do, but other than that, nothing. I’m free,” she says, smiling.
Fuck. What a dumbass thing to say. It’s too damn soon to be offering proclamations of love. The truth is, I do love Pip. Always have. But I’m not sure I’m in love with Cassidy, but I’m definitely heading in that direction.
“What is this?” she asks, turning toward me with a huge smile. “This, Cass, is the youth league I sponsor.” “Really? This is awesome, Aiden.”
She hasn’t seen one of the most special parts of it, but then one of my players turns, and she sees the team’s name. The Pipsqueaks.
😭😭😭❤
My heart beats in my chest like a drum as I take in the words written on the back of the boys skating in front of me. The Pipsqueaks. It feels like I might faint. My mouth opens and shuts, and I turn to look at Aiden.
“Why are they called the Pipsqueaks?” I ask, my voice low. My brain screams it’s a coincidence, yet my heart says there are no coincidences. That the name has to do with me.
lean in closer, loving the way he touches me. The way he can always calm my racing heart.
“I thought it would be obvious. For you,” he answers, and a kaleidoscope of butterflies instantly takes flight in my belly.
“I sponsor the team. I actually sponsor the whole rink, teams, and all. All of the kids here wouldn’t be able to afford the lessons, gear, etc.…” “You do all of that?” I say, voice full of awe. “I do.”
“I’m giving them a chance. The same chance you gave me,” he says. My vision goes spotty again, the unshed tears threatening to fall. “How did I not know that?”
“For the same reason people don’t know anything about me, I’m a private person.”
“Yeah, I know that, but wouldn’t I have known since I work for you?”
“But I have someone I want you all to meet. This is Cassidy. My girlfriend.”
“The ice rink and youth group have been around for the last six years. Give or take.”
Like my deposits, Aiden started this shortly after being drafted to the Saints. “It’s amazing.” I turn to face Aiden. “You’re amazing.” I mouth, only for him to see. “It’s the least I could do,” Aiden says, shrugging. “These kids will do great things one day.”
“There’s only so much money I need to live off; the rest, it goes to give these kids a chance.”
I throw my arms around him at that, kissing his lips. I hear the giggles as I do, but I don’t care. I love this man.
Cassidy’s head is tilted back on a laugh, clearly finding something the person next to her has said funny. She’s fucking gorgeous. My eyes trail down her body and stop on her chest. She’s wearing my jersey, and my cock goes rigid in my pants at the sight. How the hell does something so simple have this much of a reaction on me? Fuck. With her hair thrown up into a bun, she’s a wet dream. I shake my head. Not the time for this.
take one step outside the locker room, and I see her standing there waiting for me. Gorgeous. Fucking stunning. And in my jersey. Fuck. My dick is rock hard as I take her in.
“Umm. Hi to you, too.” She giggles, allowing me to drag her off. “No time for hello,” I say as I find the door to the storage closet and fling it open. The moment we’re inside, I slam the door shut, and we are bathed in darkness. “Take your pants off,” I command. I can barely see her, but I can hear her intake of breath. “What?” “You heard me. Pants. Off. Now. I need to fuck you in my jersey.”
“Where’s the light in this place? I want to see what’s mine.” I reach behind me and find the switch.
“Fuck. I want to taste you so badly, but I don’t have time. This is going to be fast, Cass. But, fuck, I need to be inside you now,” I rasp.
“Think this is a good idea?” She laughs, but it’s strained. I can tell she wants this just as bad.
“This is the best idea I’ve ever had. Now, be a good girl, and be really quiet. I need you to turn...

step up behind her and run the pad of my fingers over her hips to caress her skin.
At the move, she presses her rear back against me. With my free hand, I lower the zipper of my jeans and pull my cock out.

I position my hard length, pressing against her core, and she quivers against me, her body trembling with want. It’s then and only then that I finally push inside her. My mouth latches onto the back of her neck as I pull out and thrust back in. Her ba...

Someone calls my name, and I groan, knowing I’m pushing my luck. Fuck it. I slam back in, picking up my pace, fucking her brutally against the shelf. She mewls. “Cass,” I growl. “Quiet.” I pull her closer until there’s no end and no beginning to where our bodies meet.
I plunge deep inside her until I’m flooding her with my cum. We’re both breathing raggedly.
“Wow,” she breathes out, and I laugh against her neck as I pull my still hard cock out. “Wow is right.”
“Listen, I’m going to open this door and leave. You stay in here until you can’t hear our voices anymore.” She nods.
place a small kiss on her cheek, and I turn to leave. I open the door and step out of the closet before I turn to her. “See you in Ohio, babe.” I wink and head out to meet the team.
remember everything about you, Cass. Every word you ever told me as Pip…I remember.”
“What’s that from, Cass?” I try to pull my wrist away, but he won’t let me. “It’s nothing.” Aiden shakes his head. “It’s not nothing. That wasn’t there when I was with you at the trailer park.”
fell,” I finally say. Not a lie. But also, not the whole truth. “Bullshit. This isn’t a simple cut. This is a deep one. Deep enough to leave a scar.” “I said it’s nothing.”
“Come on. Pip. Talk to me.”
just don’t want to go back there,” I admit with a sigh. His eyes are narrowed in on me. “Let me share your burden.” My head shakes. “I’m not ready.” I’ll never be ready, but I don’t tell him that.
still can’t believe you said that while trying to hide your identity.” He chuckles, his face relaxing, signaling it worked. “I think deep down in my subconscious mind, I knew I would never have the balls to tell you the truth, so it took the ball out of my court.”
“I think you might be right. But I’m happy it did.” He smiles, pulling me toward him.
“Me too.” I scoot even closer, but I rise and sit on his lap this time. My pajama shorts bunch at my thighs. And then I’m leaning in, placing my lips on his, needing to get to this part of the night. His mouth meets ...

The longer we kiss, the more heated I get, and it’s not long before I’m squirming on his lap, rubbing myself against him. “Need you,” I say against his lips. He chuckles. “Then have me.”
I’m pulling my shorts aside while he’s freeing his cock from his sweatpants.
