CHAPTER THIRTY-ONE
WREN
"You're on babysitting duty?" I smiled teasingly at Lex.
The flight from Melbourne to Adelaide was uneventful, apart from the usual hectic movement of a whole hockey team and all their equipment. The plane wasn't hijacked. No one died. No one even aimed a gun at me.
Bonus.
"I don't mind." He draped an arm over my shoulders.
Neither of us cared we were sitting right beside the rink while the guys practised.
Let people look, we had nothing to be ashamed of.
I'd already ignored several funny looks when I kissed all three of my guys.
You know what they say about jealousy being a curse.
If they saw the bandage under my hoodie, they might be less envious.
"I get to be with you and watch them at the same time. Win-win." He glanced over at me and smiled.
"They're looking good this season." I leaned against him.
"The team, I mean.” Although, Bray and Tiger specifically.
Of course. “I feel like they've come together so much better than they did last season.
So to speak." The memory of being double stuffed by Lex and Bray made my clit take notice.
Added to that remembering Lex sucking Tiger off, and the temperature in the arena seemed to go up by about two dozen degrees.
"Nothing unites people like going through the shit we've gone through in the last year," Lex agreed.
He turned his attention back to the ice.
The first line was practising against the second.
Neither was going easy on the other. Nor should they.
All of the second line players were ambitious to take a spot on the first. Eager to prove themselves.
The first line players had to work hard to keep their contracts.
Put those together and you had some good, healthy competition.
Coast skated around a couple of the opposition, ducking and weaving before he flicked the puck off his stick and into the goal from several metres away. The goalie hardly saw it coming. He had no time to react or stop it before it was flying past him and into the net.
"That was incredible." I applauded along with everyone else watching.
In typical Coast Riggs style, he looked cool and calm, like he made shots like that every day. He skated away, back into the centre of the rink, already focused on where the puck might go next.
"He wouldn't have pulled off a shot like that last year," Lex said. "Sinclair has been good for him. Phoenix too. He's always had the talent, but now he has the confidence."
"I wouldn't have thought Coast lacked confidence," I said dryly.
Lex glanced over and grinned. "There's a difference between confidence on and off the ice. Not to mention faking it until you make it. He likes to put on a show that he's a big, bad, cocky hockey player, but he's a regular guy underneath. Just like the rest of them."
"Even Bray and Tiger?" I asked. "Never mind, I know the answer to that. Underneath the swagger, Bray is as regular as they come. And Tiger is really a big teddy bear."
"A big teddy bear that holds a grudge," Lex agreed. "If I was Nicholas or anyone else who pissed him off, I'd be shaking in my shoes."
"Like Gus," I said. I hadn't seen any sign of the third guy who abducted me, but I assumed he was still out there, taking orders from Nicholas and fucking up other people's lives.
Lex squeezed my shoulders. "We’ll find him and deal with him. If he has any brains, he's lying low right now, but sooner or later he'll resurface. We'll be ready."
"I know," I said. "Thank you."
"For what?" Lex asked.
"Keeping me sane." After a moment I added, "Mostly sane."
"You're the sanest person I know." He leaned over to kiss my mouth.
I kissed him back, then laughed. "I believe you. I'm familiar with the people you know."
He laughed. "That wasn't what I meant and you know it." His smile faded and he lightly touched the bandage under my collarbone. "I wish this hadn't happened."
"Me too," I said. "But it's feeling a lot better now. Just a little stiff and sore."
His smile was back. "Can relate."
I glanced down at his lap. "Is that right?" It certainly looked right. And getting more and more right by the moment.
"Around you, always." He kissed my temple and nuzzled his face into my hair. "I don't think anyone will notice if we disappear for a little while."
"They'll definitely notice," I said, my voice getting husky. "But I don't care if they do."
I stood and offered him my hand. I glanced back over my shoulder to see Bray and Tiger watch us disappear. They wore similar wry smiles on their faces, slightly envious of Lex, but knowing he'd keep me safe wherever we went.
"Focus!" Aidan snapped at them. "Otherwise I'll—"
We slipped out the door before I heard the rest of what he said. Probably something along the lines of banning me from watching practice. Good luck with that, considering Elenna did the same thing frequently.
Lex and I made it the handful of steps to the empty visitors’ dressing area before he pressed me back against the wall, the full length of his body against mine. He slid his hands up the front of my shirt and over my belly.
His cock prodded into me, hungry and insistent. He pinched my nipples through the lacy fabric of my bra, making them hard and as needy as my pussy.
"How do you always know the right way to touch me?" I asked.
"I pay attention to the way you respond," he said. "I see what you like and give it to you. I love feeling you wriggle and groan because of what I'm doing to you."
"I like it too," I said. "I like making you feel good.
" One of my favourite things was having my guys come inside my body.
Whether it was my pussy, my ass or my mouth.
Together, we created the friction that drove us wild.
Giving and receiving pleasure with our bodies.
Every time, I felt closer and closer to them in every possible way.
We were both aware someone could walk in at any moment, but I didn't resist him pushing my shirt up and over my head. He leaned down to pull one of my nipples into his mouth, sucking it through the fabric of my bra.
I moaned softly. Aroused by his touch, and the sound of the play out on the ice. Close enough to hear, but out of sight. If I could hear them, then they might be able to hear me.
Now I was very, very wet.
"Just like that," Lex said. "Moan for me, baby." He switched to the other nipple, before pulling down my cup and palming the first. "I want them to hear you. Let them know what I'm doing to you."
I moaned louder. I could barely hear myself over the rush of blood in my ears.
"That's my girl," Lex soothed. He reached around to unhook my bra and tug it down my arms and onto the floor. "You're so beautiful."
He leaned back to admire me, the colour in my cheeks and the roughness of my breathing. "So fucking beautiful. So fucking mine."
Out on the ice, someone else scored a goal. That was followed by cheering and shouting.
I imagined they were egging me on instead. Encouraging Lex to touch me and fuck me so close to where they skated.
I shoved up the front of Lex's shirt and ran my hands over his flat belly and tight abs. He was as rock hard as any of the players, firm and warm under my fingers.
"And this is so fucking mine," I whispered.
Feeling bold, I pushed down my leggings and panties in one go and stepped out of them.
How did I go from someone who was shy about taking photos of herself to a woman who was naked in the locker room where anyone could come in at any time?
Maybe I preferred to be seen, than to capture those moments myself.
"You're incredible." Lex slipped out of his pants and boxers and kicked them aside. He grabbed my ass and picked me up until I wrapped my legs around his waist.
With no hesitation or care that we might be caught, he pressed his cock into me, sliding all the way in to his balls. My back pressed against the rough, painted brick wall, he started to thrust into me, quick and hard.
My breasts bounced with each stroke, keeping the rhythm, along with the rocking of my hips, encouraging him to thrust in deeper still.
I dropped my head back and groaned. "That feels amazing. Keep doing that, right there." The cold air and my arousal made my nipples pebble and ache.
Between thrusts, he leaned in and suckled on first one, then the other. His lips and tongue were warm on my sensitive skin, sensual as hell.
"You taste delicious," he said, kissing my breast just above one nipple.
"You feel amazing," I said breathlessly.
In the corner of my eye, I caught movement in the doorway.
Aidan stepped into the locker room, took one look at us and turned and walked back out to the ice. Under his breath, he muttered something that sounded like, "Get a fucking room next time."
Lex chuckled, but didn't slow his thrusts. If anything, they became faster, more desperate.
My face heated, but I was equally undeterred. If anything, I was more turned on then ever. Excited at having been caught, but not embarrassed.
With his body, Lex would have blocked off the view of all but my legs and feet, and maybe the top of my head. If he wasn't concerned about Aidan seeing his back and ass, neither was I.
It wasn't like nudity in a locker room was anything new. Fucking maybe, but not naked butts.
I kept a tight grip on Lex, my arms around his neck. He was hitting my clit just right. I didn't want to let him go. Not now. Maybe not ever.
"I'm so close," I said between ragged breaths. "Don't stop. Please don't stop."
"I have no intention of stopping," he said. "Come for me. Come for me, little bird. Come on my cock."
I dug my nails into the skin of his back as I came, my pussy tightening around his cock and stealing an orgasm from him at the same time.
We matched each other breath for breath, groan for groan, thrust for thrust.
Hearing him coming made my orgasm last and last. We weren't in a locker room anymore.
We were floating in a universe that existed of him and I and nothing else.
Just our bodies giving each other bliss.
Giving and taking in equal measure. The moment strung out for seventeen eternities until we both slumped against the wall, panting heavily and trying to catch our breath.
"Wow, that was something else." Lex said softly.
Out on the ice, someone scored another goal and the arena echoed with cheers.
"Apparently they agree," I said with a breathy little laugh. "I think we both scored."
He laughed softly beside my ear. "At the end of the first period, I call it 1-1."
"Only the first period?" I asked.
"Definitely. Time for an intermission and then we can commence the second period."
Hell yeah.
