See everyone at the rink tonight!
Holy shit, Ivy can sing.
No wonder Nico won’t stop staring even though he “totally doesn’t have a thing for her.”
I’m sure he compliments her for the same reason.
“Nice job, Sinclair!” he yells as Ivy walks by. “Glad to see you followed us to the Comets.”
“Oh,” she blushes, closing her eyes behind the rims of her glasses. “Thanks, Nico.”
Nico stares on with a dopey smile as Cameron starts laughing beside him. “Aww, she knows your name, Bieri.”
“Fuck off, Kovacic,” he huffs.
Wes leans over and whispers, “We’ll stop givin’ you shit when you make a fuckin’ move.”
Nico stares daggers at him. “Make a move on Blake first.”
“I don’t want Blake,” Wes groans, exasperated by again having to remind everyone that they’re just friends.
“And I don’t want Ivy.”
“Except you do,” I tease, and Nico’s face falls in surprise.
“You, too, Z?”
“Gotta have a little fun before the game, don’t I?”
“I figured Cameron did that for you,” he grumbles, and Cam elbows him in the side.
“Shut the fuck up, man.”
“Sorry,” Nico sighs. “Let’s just get this game going.”
Nico takes his spot on the bench as Cam, Wes, Bet, Sid, and I take our positions at center ice.
The ref drops the puck, and Cameron immediately snags it, passing it over to Wes, who then starts taking it down the ice. There’s a defender on him, but Bet knocks him into the boards so Wes can keep going.
When the second defender comes up on the other side of him, Wes manages to pass the puck over to me before he’s hit into the boards himself.
With Atlanta focusing on Wes before, I get a breakaway and head straight to the net. The goalie stares me down, but I’ve played against her before. The upper right corner of the goal has always been her weak spot.
I bring my stick back and send the puck right into that corner, and the buzzer immediately sounds, signaling my goal.
We’re twenty seconds into our first game as the Comets, and I’ve knocked in our first goal.
The first goal in Colorado Comets’ history.
“Yes!” Cam shouts as he and Wes make a beeline straight to me.
“Nice shot, Z!” Wes smiles, clapping his gloved hand on my shoulder.
I throw my head back with a bright smile while Eyes Closed by Imagine Dragons plays in the background. I guess that’s going to be our goal song.
The rest of the game, we’re on fire, and the Comets take the win over the Axolotls 4-1. Isla, Wes, and Asher join me with goals of their own, and Lev only gave up one goal in thirty-seven shots.
The women’s locker room after is loud and raucous. I can only imagine the men’s is the same way after such a strong start to our season.
Since I take some time after the game to talk to Coach Leverson about our performance, the rest of the girls are gone by the time I make it into the shower.
My plan is to make this as quick as possible so I can find Cameron after, but when I hear the door open before the lock clicks, I get the feeling he found me first.
“You’re coming to murder me, aren’t you?”
I hear the sound of clothing hitting the floor before my boyfriend slides open the shower curtain in all his naked glory.
And God is he glorious when he’s naked.
“Wouldn’t dream of murdering you, Zhuri baby,” he teases, sliding the curtain shut behind him and immediately prowling over to me. “I’d miss you too fucking much.”
I turn to face him and drape my arms around his neck. “It’s dangerous for you to be in here, you know.”
He flashes me a devilish smirk, and need throbs between my legs. “You’re worth it, Z. But we’re safe. Everyone else is already heading to Hops and Dreams to celebrate the win. I told Bet I’d wait for you, and then we’d meet up with them.”
“And what will they think about you waiting for me, hm?”
Cameron grips my ass and grinds his hardening cock into my hip.
“They’ll think that we just needed to talk about the game.
They have no idea that I’m going to make you want to scream my name right here in the shower.
” He nips my lip. “But you won’t be able to, baby girl.
You’re going to need to take my fingers like the silent slut I know you can be. ”
I bite my lip and shake my head. “I don’t think I can be quiet, baby. It’s impossible not to scream when I have you inside me.”
He snakes his hand between our bodies and settles it between my legs, lazily stroking a finger through my damp center.
“You’re my good girl, though, and I know how much you love to please me.
Normally, I want you as loud as you can be, but right here, you can’t make any noise.
” He slips two thick fingers inside me, and I immediately gasp.
“No. Noise. Ride my hand, baby girl. Make yourself come quietly.”
All I want to do right now is scream, but I bite my tongue—literally and figuratively—to keep from doing so. I start grinding against his hand as his thumb finds my clit.
“There you go,” Cameron sweetly murmurs in my ear. “You look so beautiful riding my fingers. I can’t wait to feel you come around them.”
“Can I come on your cock?” I ask breathlessly.
“I’m just here for you. Gotta reward my girl for getting our first goal.”
“Please?” I beg. “I want to be filled with your cum when we’re sitting with our friends at the bar. You’ll be the only one who knows I’m sitting there as you literally drip out of me.”
“Fuck.” His voice is strained as he throws his head back. Clearly, he did come in here with the intention to only get me off, but the only way I want to do that is around his cock as he pounds into me. “Can you be quiet if I fuck you?”
I nod enthusiastically. “Yes. And if I can’t, I give you permission to shut me up however you need to.”
Cameron lets out a breath before kissing me hard, backing me against the wall. When he peels his lips from mine, he turns me around, and I plant my hands on the tile of the shower wall.
I feel his cock pressing at my entrance before he says, “Our friends are waiting, so we have to be quick, baby girl. I’ll fuck you right later.”
I look over my shoulder back at him. “Am I coming over tonight?”
“Yes,” he breathes before pushing into me, sliding home in just a single thrust. With his chest pressed to my back, he whispers against my ear. “Come over. I sleep better with you beside me.”
I smile happily before he pulls out and slams back in. “Oh, Cameron…” I moan.
He immediately grasps my hip with one hand while snaking the other around my face, clamping it over my mouth. “Quiet, Zhuri baby. You don’t want us to get caught, do you?”
I shake my head, but my body gives me away. Cameron’s caramel eyes are blazing hot when he feels my pussy clench around him at the thought of someone catching us.
“Fuck, you like the idea of that, ljepota. You like the idea of someone walking in here, seeing you take this thick cock while I fuck you hard from behind like a desperate little slut, don’t you?”
I shake my head again, this time peeling his hand from my mouth. “No,” I murmur before stopping to stifle a moan. “I want them to see me taking your cock like your good girl, baby.”
“Goddammit,” he groans into my neck. “If we didn’t have to be a secret, I’d fuck you in front of the entire team. Then they’d all know you’re fucking mine.”
“Yours,” I breathe.
“Play with your clit, Zhuri. I need to feel you come.”
Cameron clamps his hand back over my mouth right as my finger finds my clit, and I moan into his skin.
His thrusts are punishing now as he rushes to send us over the edge. When he pushes deeper than before, I can’t hold it together. I loudly moan against his hand and clench around his length as he continues to bury himself inside me, over and over.
“Fuck, Z,” he moans softly. “You wanted to be my cumslut tonight, so take every fucking drop.”
Cameron’s hips still, and I feel his cock pulsing inside me.
We’re silent as we catch our breath, and after a few moments, he slowly pulls out of me, only to immediately replace his cock with his fingers. “Don’t waste a drop of it, baby girl. Keep my cum inside you. That’s what you wanted, isn’t it?”
“Yes,” I nod.
“Good girl,” he mutters before taking my lips in a deep and searing kiss. “Fuck, do you have any idea how obsessed I am with you?”
I smile at him. “I think I’ve got a pretty good idea.”
Cameron pushes my drenched hair out of my face before moving us back under the water. “I can promise it’s even more than you think, Zhuri. You’re on my mind twenty-fucking-four hours a day.”
I grab onto his words and hold them tight to my chest, letting them and their meaning absorb.
I know Cam still struggles with happiness, but since we started dating, he’s happier than I’ve ever seen.
Because I’m on his mind.
Because he gets to have me, even if it’s secret.
Because he possibly loves me.
He hasn’t said it with words—neither of us is ready for any declarations of love—but he consistently shows me with his actions.
I never thought I’d say it, but Cameron Kovacic is the best boyfriend I’ve ever had, and I think there’s every possibility he’ll also be the last.
