Puck Me Secretly (Vancouver Wolves Hockey, #1)

“Why does that matter so much to you?” I shut my eyes and took a deep breath. This was my moment. To be real with him. To be honest. “Because if we get found out, I don’t want your career to be over.” His head reared back like I had slapped him. I dropped one more bomb. “I don’t know what you want but I want whatever this is, to continue. And I don’t want you to have to choose between hockey and me.” He moved across the dressing room in four steps and then his mouth was on mine. His hands pushed into my hair. I moaned, opening my mouth to the kiss. He lifted his head. “You want more?” I moaned. “I can never get enough of you.” He lifted his head and his eyes studied my face, looking for my truth and my honesty. “You know how I feel, right?” I winced. “Not really.” He stroked my hair back from my forehead. “If you were a sport, you’d be hockey.” But you love hockey!

wasn't supposed to happen like this. Max and I had only started to date. Love wasn’t supposed to happen this fast. But I loved him with my entire heart and I knew I would do anything for this man. Did he want the same thing? Or would my heart get crushed in this situation? “Are you okay?” I raised my eyes to Max, who watched me as he pulled on his pants. “What?” “You look like you saw a ghost.” “I’m okay.” I realized that I’m head over heels in love with you. No biggie. “Come on, let’s order food. I’m starving.” I flopped back onto the bed. “I’ll be out in a minute.” I knew one thing. This would be complicated.
