Before she can say anything, I say, “I don’t want Liam to know. Please let’s keep it between the three of us.”

Not waiting for a response, I walk into the house to find Liam.

I scarf down my food like it’s my last meal, mainly because Bren doesn’t relent in giving me death stares, but I also haven’t eaten in six hours. I really wish I could stay longer to say bye to Laur, but I do not want to get mauled by Bren, the mama bear, and I am exhausted. I say bye to Bren and Liam, heading towards the door.

“Wait!” Laur’s voice calls to me from upstairs. Butterflies fill my stomach. Is she going to finally acknowledge what happened? Better yet, is she going to kiss me again?

She rushes down the hall toward me, reaching her hand out.

“Give me your phone.”

Without even questioning why, I reach in my pocket and hand her my phone. She types something in and gives it back to me.

“Goodnight, Captain.”

She turns down the hall to the kitchen. No acknowledgement. No kiss. But she can’t deny the spark we have much longer. When you ignore a spark, the flames turn into chaos instead of an enchanting fire.

On my walk home, I look through my phone to see what she did. I don’t see a text to herself from my phone, and I don’t see her name in my contacts. I looked under everything possible I could think of that she might put it under. I have no idea what she did when I gave her my phone.

I’m in a great mood so don’t think anything of it. How could I not be after she was touching my abs and my arms, slipping up saying she found me attractive, finally kissing her again? Sure, it ended faster than I would have liked, but at least it happened. Even if she says she isn’t falling for me, she is. I can feel it happening just like she can feel it happening for me. I shouldn’t be so smitten with this girl, but I can’t help it. She’s everything. The more time I spend with her the more Ineedher.

As I empty my pockets onto the bathroom counter, my phone buzzes. A text pops up from a number I don’t have saved. I’m exhausted from the long day, and I pass out as soon as my head hits the pillow before I can read the message.

An urgent knock on my door stirs me awake. That’s odd. It’s the middle of the night. I sluggishly get out of bed after hearing a second knock. I answer the door half asleep, but when I see what’s waiting for me on the other side, my tiredness vanishes. The sight of her causes my cock wake up too.

Laur is standing there in my doorway with just my hockey jersey on and thigh-high leather boots. Taking her in, I run my hand through my hair. She is by far the sexiest thing I have ever seen. She steps close to me, her body mere centimeters from mine and whispers in my ear.

“Aren’t you going to invite me in, Captain?”

I’m so flustered I don’t reply, I just open the door wider. She walks right past me and into my apartment. I accidentally slam the door shut from exhilaration.

“Ready to slam something, huh, Captain?”

She winks at me. She’s making a sex joke. The girl that I am stupidly falling for is in my apartment, half naked wearing my hockey jersey, and making sex jokes. I might be the luckiest bastard alive right now.

Lauren walks around my kitchen. Hoping up on my counter, she spreads her legs slightly in invitation. She crooks her finger, motioning for me to come to her.

“Come closer. I won’t bite unless you do first.”

Shit.I want to bite and kiss her. I want to feel soft sweet lips against mine.

“Stop thinking, and just do it already.”

She wraps her arm around my neck and pulls me against her, bringing her lips to mine. The sexual chemistry between us is electric. My cock grows hard for her as she wraps her legs around my torso, pulling me flush to her, so there is no space in between my bare chest and my hockey jersey she’s wearing. I bite her lower lip softly, and a little moan escapes that beautiful mouth of hers. That beautiful mouth that I want to do very, very naughty things to.

I have waited so long to really kiss her—to kiss her with the desire I have had for her from the moment I saw her next to Liam at the bar. She grips my hair and kisses me hungrily. I push my tongue into her mouth, wanting more of her. My tongue dances with hers wildly. Panting, she pulls away to catch her breath, and I trail kisses down her neck, biting lightly as I go.

“Guess what, Captain,” she whispers in my ear again. “I’m completely naked under your jersey.”

“Lauren Bellinger, you are a naughty girl.”

“Yes, Captain. Tell me what you’re going to do about that.”

I pick her up off the counter, grabbing her bare ass, and carry her to my bedroom. I throw her on the bed, and she gives a little shriek.

“Take off my boots.”

So demanding. I’ve never had a girl take charge before, but it sends a jolt to my cock. I’m very into it. She holds up her left leg, and I slowly take off her boot, making sure to touch her thigh with every inch I roll them down, teasing her.
