On Thin Ice (The Redwood University Series Book 1)
Chapter 1

“Taylor, what the fuck are you doing?” Coach screams from the edge of the rink.
To be totally honest, I don’t know what I’m doing, all I know is that my head is most definitely not in the game today. My teammates fly across the ice past me, the puck bouncing between them. The stadium is pumping with tension, the team we’re playing today are wiping the floor with us and as much as I hate to admit this, it’s mainly because of me. Since the second my skates hit the ice today I’ve not been able to keep my eyes on the game because they’ve been fixated on something else. The curly haired, sexy brunette that sits with her legs crossed in the penalty box, picking her nails and scrolling on her phone looking entirely uninterested in the excruciatingly tense game that’s going on in front of her.
I’m a ladies man I’ll admit and I mostly let my dick lead all of my decisions, but after last night I thought my horny ass would be satisfied at least for 24 hours. I tend to stick to a one night, one girl rule, it prevents any complicated feelings or expectations. Almost all of the girls I sleep with want more from me, they want to be the one to change my fuck boy ways but I’ve always known that I”ll change when the time is right, and that time most definitely hasn’t come yet, I’ll know when it does. I respect the fuck out of women though make no mistake, I love women, but I’ve only really ever had any interest in their bodies. The second they start talking about themselves is the same second I need them to make a swift exit through my bedroom door.
I’ve only been at Redwood for three months but I’ve managed to fuck my way through almost every girl on campus…ok that may be an exaggeration but I get a lot of sex. Last night was the craziest of my life, I had three girls all over me after the game. Three blondes with legs that went directly to heaven were touching me and flirting with me at the bar we all went to post game to celebrate our win. To be honest I got kind of pissed off that they wouldn’t leave me alone to celebrate with my boys so I took all three of them back to our shared house just off campus and fucked them all, one after the other. I won’t pretend I wasn’t fucking exhausted afterwards, the three of them probably had the time of their life but all I could think off when they left was sleep.
The girl in the penalty box tonight though is something else entirely, she’s a fucking rocket. I keep skating past the box purely to get a closer look at her. She’s small, a lot smaller than me which isn’t hard because I’m pushing 6-foot-4. Her long, chocolate brown curls hang over her shoulder and her green eyes are soft and uninterested, but I can see a lingering fire beneath the surface.
I hope she’s a feisty one, they’re my favourite.
“Focus man, you’re throwing us off.” Kyle nudges me into the plexiglass when the ref blows the whistle to signal the end of the second period. My eyes are still hooked on her though, I watch as she stands and turns to leave. Fuck, her ass is incredible, I can’t wait to get my hands on that later.
“I am focused.” I say, brushing my face with my gloved hand as I watch the sexy thing saunter through the crowd towards the corridor that leads to the locker rooms.
Kyle snorts a disbelieving laugh. “I mean focus on the game, not on Callie’s ass.”
“Callie? That’s her name?”
“Yeah man, that’s her name, now erase it from your memory and keep your head on what’s happening here. We need to win this game and we’re having to work extra hard because you’re too busy drooling over a girl that you’ll never have.”
That’s got my attention.
I lift my eyes from the delicious curve of Callie’s swaying ass to look at Kyle. “Never have? You’re crazy man, I’ll have her if I want her.” Kyle shakes his head with a smirk. “You’re dreaming. You know who she is right?”
“No, but I’m about to find out.” I say under my breath. I bat him away with my now glove free hand and skate off the ice towards the locker rooms. I’m sweating like a whore in a church and I need to piss, but more importantly, I need to find that girl.
My plan wasn’t exactly planning the way I wanted it to and I ended up back on the ice before I was able to locate the mysterious, sexy, rocket of a woman that I now know as Callie. I force myself to take my eyes off her and concentrate on the game, we really need this win to get us out of the relegation zone and back to our usual status.
Coach is screaming at all of us from the side of the rink, he gave us a heavy pep talk — it was actually more like a verbal ass whooping — during the break. We deserved it, we’re playing shit tonight. My team is usually like a well oiled machine, working perfectly in sync with each other and battering our opponents, but tonight I’m letting the side down. I know this and yet I can’t stop. I literally can’t tear my eyes away from Callie, her tight stomach through the thin material of her bodysuit, the swell of her perfect tits, the way her thick curls bounce as she moves. She seems totally disinterested in the game itself and I find my curiosity growing by the second. It’s the third period now so I only have twenty minutes to make a quick decision, is this game my priority right now? It should be, I am the captain after all, but I think my dick has taken over at this point. The longer I look at Callie the more I start to panic that she’ll leave after the game before I get a chance to talk to her. I need to take her home with me tonight, I need to see what’s under those clothes. I make a snap decision, zipping across the ice and shoving my skate under one of the defensemen’s legs, sending him tumbling onto his stomach. I wait for the sound that will determine my fate and I hope I’ve done enough to be sent to the sin bin, which is exactly where I want to be right now. The high pitched sound of the whistle has my stomach jumping with triumph, but I keep my face neutral as the ref directs me to the penalty box. Fuck yes!
Kyle is shaking his head at me from his spot in goal, reading my mind as usual and knowing that my plan worked. He’s trying to hold back his smile but he’s failing miserably. I’ve left my guys a man down for the next five minutes and I know that’s shitty of me, but we’re one nil up at this point so the chances of us taking this win are pretty good. I can spare five minutes of my precious time to speak to this sexy bombshell, who by the way, doesn’t even glance in my direction when I fall down onto the bench next to her.
Oh my god, she’s even better up close. Her creamy skin dips along her collarbone, lifting and falling as she breathes a sigh of boredom. Callie might just be the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen in my entire life. Her chocolate curls fall down, dancing across her jaw and accentuating the light sprinkling of freckles that decorate her cheek bones. Her eyes are bright when she finally looks up at me, the emerald pools drinking me in and making me ache to slap my lips onto her’s. Then her gaze hardens when she sees who’s sitting next to her and the tiger behind those sexy, green eyes sharpens it’s claws.
This is going to be a fuck load of fun, I can feel it in my bones.
