Change on the Fly (Totally Pucked, #1)

by Maren Moore

"Please, Holland. This is me, Reed Davidson, the hottest hockey star you'll ever meet, begging you. I need you. I promise it'll be worth your while. This solves my problems, and yours. What could it hurt? Just… give me the hockey season. That’s all I need, and then I’ll find someone else.

I kiss her like I'm dying of thirst, and fuck, I want to drown in her.

“I want to know how I can make you light up, how I can make you come with my name on your lips.”

Jesus, the man is sex on a stick.

His gaze turns molten, burning straight through me. When his long, thick fingers wrap around my throat gently, moving up to my jaw, he swipes the rough pad of his thumb across my bottom lip. His touch is encouraging and reassuring. It gives me the push to continue.

“Don’t. Don’t hide yourself from me. I want you, Holland, every single fucking inch of you.”

“Decent, huh? You read in the nude? Now that is a sight I’d pay to see. Can you read to me naked? I’m thinking maybe Harry Potter while I eat your pu-” My eyes widen, and I immediately screech, “Oh my god, Reed!”

Babe. I never realized how much I loved that word until it came from Reed’s lips.

“One: Fall in love every day. Never stop showing you how much you mean to me, and giving you reasons to fall in love with me.”

“Two: Shout it to the world. I’m never going to not show my love for you. I want everyone in the goddamn world to know that I’m the bastard that’s lucky enough to love you, Holland Parker. I’ll put it on the jumbotron. On every damn billboard in Chicago.”

“Change on the fly. You don’t stop, you change what you have to and finish out the game.”
