Chapter 37

RHYS
I ’m lying down on a bench at the gym, getting ready to do some triceps extensions. I’m trying to tune out Tuck talking trash to Sebastian about how he can sprint longer than him while they do interval training on the treadmills, when my phone vibrates in my pocket.
I decide to check it before I start my workout—and when I see the message on my screen, I’m glad as fuck that I did.
Maddie
Come back to your room. Hurry.
Desire sparks in my chest. As much as I wish that Maddie and I could do what we’re doing out in the open, I can’t deny that sneaking around with her like this is the hottest, most erotic experience of my life.
I take a deep breath and tighten my lower ab muscles, trying to hold back an erection that I won’t be able to hide in my loose gym shorts.
“Where you running off to?” Hudson asks as I head to the exit.
“I, uh … just remembered I forgot to upload a paper due for one of my classes. It’ll be marked late if I don’t have it submitted in the next half hour.” A shameless lie.
Hudson nods and gets back to his shoulder lifts, thankfully.
I don’t even pretend to have any dignity; I flat-out run the distance from the team gym back to my house. The other four guys are still going to be at the gym for a while, and my mind is racing faster than my legs with all the things I want to do to Maddie during the time we have.
I fly into the house and bound up the stairs, pushing into my room—and then I turn still as a statue.
Maddie’s sitting on my bed, her hands propped coquettishly behind her, ankles crossed in front of her, with the coyest, sexiest look I’ve ever seen on her face.
Seeing her like this, looking so fucking pretty, sitting on my bed, in my room, waiting for me …
White-hot electricity streaks through me, and my balls go tight and heavy with arousal.
I push the door closed and walk toward her. “Here I am.”
She makes a humming noise in her throat. “About time.”
Her saucy answer winds my balls tighter. Lately, Maddie seems so much more confident and self-assured when we’re fooling around, and it’s such a fucking turn-on.
I’m about to dip down to press my lips to hers and push her flat against the bed, but she stops me with a palm on my chest. She stands up and steps forward, walking me back two paces away from the bed. I crook an interested, unsure smirk at her as I go along with whatever she’s doing.
Then my heart ricochets off the inside of my chest as she drops to her knees.
My heartbeat pounds like a sharp hammer at the base of my cock when Maddie sinks her soft fingers underneath the waist of my gym shorts and slowly tugs them down my hips.
“Sorry to interrupt your workout,” she coos, the confident cadence in her voice making it clear she knows damn well it was no inconvenience.
“I have a feeling you’re about to make it up to me.” The words come choked out of my throat, because Maddie’s currently running her fingertips feather-light over the outline of my hardness in my boxer briefs.
So much blood flow is surging to my dick that it actually hurts being stuck behind the tight fabric of my underwear as it grows so big.
It’s downright torture the way she slowly drags my boxers down my hips. I’m gritting my teeth through the ache of my caged erection by the time she finally pulls the waistband past my cock, and it springs up.
Relief spreads through me, but it doesn’t last long; soon enough, Maddie’s fingertips are trailing up and down my shaft, and the tension throbbing through my length, in my balls, and through all the muscles in my groin ratchets higher.
A pleased hum sings on Maddie’s mouth, her eyes sparkling with appreciation as her touch grazes gently along my length. She drags her thumb over the pink ridge of nerve endings right underneath my head, and I shiver.
The unsure, hesitant nervousness with which Maddie handled me the first time she got me off was hot in its own way, but this new poised, self-sure attitude she wears while she plays me like a fiddle really has fire tipping into my blood.
As hot as her teasing me is, though, I might pass out if she doesn’t give me some relief.
“Fuck, Maddie,” I groan, a pleading tone laced through my voice.
She giggles, knowing full well how crazy she’s driving me, and loving every minute of it.
Fire rips through me when she curls her hand around the base of my shaft and lightly licks the glistening bead of pre-cum from my tip. She makes a pleased sound at the taste, and then finally wraps her gorgeous lips around me.
An electric current blasts through all my limbs, and a tight knot of pleasure pulls tight at the base of my spine. I sputter curses as Maddie takes me in her mouth.
The soft, warm inside of her lips feels blissful against my cock. Her tongue swirls around the sensitive head while I’m in her mouth, and pleasure gallops through me.
She’s so fucking good at this—good because I taught her. Pride mingles with the pleasure coursing through me, and the feeling is so intense that my knees almost buckle.
I have to fist my hand into the silky strands of Maddie’s midnight-hued hair to keep my balance. Her lips vibrate against my manhood with a moan when I make her hair tug at her scalp. It’s clear from the way she increases her suction that she likes it.
Maddie hollows her cheeks at the same moment her tongue slants with perfect pressure right over the tip of my cock, and I know she’s just pushed me past the point of no return.
“Shit, Maddie, I’m close,” I grit out.
Her blue eyes look up at me with a naughty, excited glimmer, and I can tell from the look that she wants today to be another first for her: the first time she takes my release in her mouth.
My climax grips me, bliss snaking through my body as my eyes clench and color bursts into my vision. My release gushes thick and hot right into Maddie’s mouth, and she swallows me down with intoxicating sounds of satisfaction.
When she removes me from her mouth, my legs are so weak that I have to stumble to my bed and fall onto it.
“Maddie …” I shake my head in disbelief, staring up at the ceiling, a feeling of utter satisfaction weighing on me like a heavy blanket, “that was … fuck.”
Maddie sits next to me, a giggle bubbling from her. As good as everything else that just happened felt … man, there’s a different kind of satisfaction in feeling my mattress sink and knowing it’s the weight of the girl I’ve been smitten with for years.
I don’t know how it’s possible for things with Maddie to go back to normal after this.
Keeping my real feelings for her under wraps was hard enough before I knew what she looked like naked. Before I know how her lips felt. Before I tasted the sweetness of being able to touch her the way I’ve always imagined, and knowing that she welcomed the touch.
That’s part of why I’ve been so glad that Maddie doesn’t seem rushed to check off the ultimate item on our list and finally sleep together. As much as having sex with Maddie is the utter pinnacle of my desires, I’d gladly put it off forever if that meant we could stay in the zone we’re in right now.
A dangerous flame of hope flickers in my chest.
What if Maddie doesn’t want that to be the end of what we’re doing?
But the rational part of my brain blows out that flickering flame. With my background? Her parents might like me as Lane’s friend, but they’d never approve of me dating their daughter. And Lane himself? Well, I already overheard his thoughts about any of his teammates being suitable for Maddie at the beginning of the year.
I wrap my arm around Maddie and gather her close to me. This might have an expiration date, but I can enjoy what I’ve always dreamed about while it lasts.
