We dropped our clothes in the laundry room and then took a long, warm shower. Soap led to caresses and caresses to more. I was beginning to think everything with Killian led to more. We were too tired to watch a movie, so we went straight to bed after I braided my hair to ensure the wet mass wouldn't dry hairy scary. Killian patiently watched me and then as soon as we climbed into bed, he slowly removed the hair tie and unfurled my handiwork."Argh, you must like the Medusa look on me.""Hmm," he said tiredly and pulled me in close.His musky, just-washed scent surrounded me as I closed my eyes and fell asleep.The alarm woke me up."It's Saturday," I mumbled."You don't run on Saturdays?"I rolled over expecting him to next to me, but Killian was standing beside the bed dressed in sweats. I squinted with tired eyes and noticed the brush in his hand."Sit up."I tried to pull the sheet over my upper body, but he stopped me. I shouldn't have bothered, but I chalked it up to sle
The entire day was glorious. We watched a movie after dinner and when the movie was over, we walked hand in hand to his bedroom. I'd lost count of how many times we'd had sex that day. My body ached in all the right places, and I was surprised when he settled me in close and turned off the light."Tomorrow could be difficult for you," he said into the darkness.His voice had that low, husky timbre that made me think of sex. "Difficult how?"His tone went serious, but stayed low. "I have a game-day routine and it's pretty intense. I don't talk a lot and I need you to hang with it.""I could go home in the morning and go to the game later. I really don't need to be here."He pulled me in tighter. "I want you here.""Okay. I'll hang." I snuggled in as close as I could, glad I wouldn't be leaving tomorrow.With just a touch of light shining through the windows, I woke up to gentle suction on my nipple and Killian's fingers delving between my thighs."Is this part of your game-day r
Thankfully, Malory waited. No one else was in the skybox. She threw her arms around me and I realized I so needed some form of human connection. She pulled away and we sat down so she didn't need to crank her head back to speak with me.She wore a different team jersey, not quite as flashy as the one from the previous week, but she still looked gorgeous."I can just imagine how you feel on your first game day with Killian," she said enthusiastically."How do you know I'm with him?" She laughed. "The entire team knows you're with him. Don't be a fool; this is the biggest gossip going at the moment."Heat traveled over my cheeks, which only made her laugh harder."So why would Killian having a woman with him be gossip? It's more likely him not having a woman would add more to his rumor quota."Her face took on a secretive look. "Don't get me wrong-Killian dates lots of different women."My stomach clenched, but she went on."What he doesn't do is hide them at his house and keep
Much like the first game, Killian only played until he made a touchdown early in the first quarter. There was no blown kiss this time, and his intensity for the game only seemed to increase. He stood with the head coach talking for the remainder of the first half.During halftime, I took a walk with my friends on the lower level where we eventually checked out one of the crowded pro-shops. Amanda and Malory talked me into a team jersey with number "twenty" and "MacGregor" on the back. I don't know why I worried, but I couldn't help thinking it might bother Killian. We made it back to our seats when the third quarter started. When the final whistle blew, I was past ready to see Killian.He drove the four of us to dinner, and I had no idea where that was going to be until we pulled up at Tillomans."You okay with coming here?"I didn't have a problem, though as far as my co-workers were concerned, my dating Killian would be out of the bag. I gave him a shy smile."Yes, but I hope
"I like your friends," Killian said into the quiet car after making sure Amanda managed to get out of the stadium parking lot.He squeezed my fingers slightly and then kissed the back of my hand, his lips hot against my skin."I'm glad, and very sorry Amanda put you on the spot."His gravelly chuckle made my thighs clench. "Wait until you meet my mother. She'll know your shoe size within thirty minutes.""I have big feet, so that's kind of harsh.""Your feet are perfect, but I agree with Amanda." His grin went a little crooked.I rolled my eyes. "This can't be good.""No, I don't think it is. You tend to think poorly of yourself. Mind telling me why?"Here it was-our first in-depth personal conversation. How I wished I'd asked the first question.I took a deep breath before speaking. "I was taller than anyone I knew by sixth grade. I grew so fast that my coordination didn't catch up fully until around sixteen. I remember falling in the hallway once. My books went everywhere an
I wanted to believe him, to erase each insecurity. I wanted to be beautiful for Killian.His tongue made small circles against my back and then my side as he moved around my body. He was still on his knees and made it look graceful."Put your hands on my shoulders and watch the mirror. Keep your eyes open; just watch." His commanding tone held sensual promise.He lifted my left leg and moved it over his shoulder. I gripped his flesh hard then harder still when his tongue licked the flesh between my thighs."I love the taste of you." He did it again. "I enjoyed spending time with your friends, but god, I wanted to be here, doing this. It's becoming impossible to keep my hands off you." His fingers tightened slightly. "Watch the mirror."My eyes drifted down so I had to jerk my head back up. One finger slid between the lips of my pussy, but I couldn't see what he was doing. I felt it. I looked at my flushed face, staring into my own eyes. Killian loved my body. He didn't see the awk
He dropped me at my apartment Monday morning and another slow week began. It was harder to leave him this time and he didn't make it easier. We almost had sex in his car, in broad daylight.I went to work Wednesday night receiving sly glances from my co-workers. I actually didn't think they expected me to come in. It hurt my pride a little that they would think I didn't need a job just because I was dating Killian.Thursday night, I was back in my favorite hangout spot with Amanda and Lyle. I remained on the inquisition side while they double-teamed me again."You're flying to his game?" Lyle asked in a controlled voice."Is there something wrong with flying to his game?"Amanda took over. "No, nothing wrong, but this is going pretty fast and we're worried about you."I wouldn't tell them that I said those same words to Killian."I'm a big girl now and I love you both, but my eyes are open." Liar, liar pants on fire.They knew better, and just looked at me."I'm changing the s
A driver picked me up from my apartment and drove me to the airport late that afternoon. He handed me my plane ticket and waited while I checked in at curbside. I tried to give him a few dollars."Mr. MacGregor took care of everything, ma'am. Have a safe trip."Killian's money bothered me.I needed to let the negative thought go, so I decided to treat this trip like a mini-vacation. My parents gave me an eReader as a Christmas gift two years before, so I downloaded the newest book by my favorite author. One of the only things I didn't like about college was the guilt I felt if I read for pleasure. Study, study, study was my mantra.Of course, Killian bought me a first-class ticket. I felt truly spoiled, and after a brief argument with my subconscious, I again decided to enjoy myself.The plane arrived in Seattle late that night. Killian had told me another driver would pick me up at the airport; my heart skipped a beat when Killian stood waiting outside the terminal. He looked del
