I point out my window when the skyline of the city comes into view. “You’re going to see me everywhere out there.”“You mean, on billboards?”“I’m sure some of those are still hanging around, but what I mean is, I think you’ll understand me a whole lot better after this week.”“It sounds like I’m about to meet your best friend.”I kiss the top of her head. “You are.”PiperIt was easy to fall for West in Florida, but here, in Boston, it would have been impossible to deny him. Since we stepped off the plane, his face has been lit up like the Fourth of July. His smile is even more infectious, and his kisses punctuate every memory that flickers in his eyes.“Why don’t you come to the meeting with me?” he says. “I feel bad, taking off and leaving you here by yourself.”The hotel is insane. There’s nothing for him to be worried about. For once, I don’t mind being alone. In fact, I have at least five things I want to do as soon as he leaves. The first is starting in the biggest bathroom I’v

When he pulls away, he chews on his lip, like he’s thinking about coming back for more. I wish he would, but he turns and walks away, completely out of breath.“West!” I yell. “What am I supposed to wear to dinner? You haven’t told me where we’re going.”“Nothing!” he yells back. “I’m going to fuck you first.”I clench my thighs together, his promise hitting me so low, I can feel myself getting wet even though I’m sitting in a bathtub full of water. West’s promises are my favorite. I just hope he gets good news at this meeting and comes back in the same mood he left in.WestIt was one of the best weeks I’d ever spent in Boston. I showed Piper the different sections of the city, the rink, my old condo building, and she even met some of my teammates when we all went out to dinner. It was like I’d never left, yet I was playing tourist in a place where I should have been living.My billboard is still outside the stadium, and when I close my eyes, I can remember what it felt like to be in

“Don’t forget video chats. Those are the best.”“Yeah, those, too.”“What’d you do when you were with Tilly? Wasn’t much different than this, was it? I mean, you told me you were in the same city once you started dating her, but during the season, you were on the road nonstop, so you hardly saw her anyway.”My relationship with Tilly just existed—during season and off-season. We fucked when I was in town, and we had phone sex when I was gone. I did what I needed to do on the ice, and she kept things running back at home.“It was just different, wasn’t it?” he asks, as though he’d heard my thoughts.“Yeah, man. Big time. It was nothing like this at all.”“Have you talked to Piper about moving up to Boston with you?”I glance over my shoulder. The balcony’s off the living room, so I don’t have a full view of the entire bedroom. But I can see the edge of the mattress and how her foot’s hanging off the side.“Nah. I don’t want to put that kind of pressure on her.”“We can figure out plays

“It’s never too early,” he says cryptically.Before I can respond, his phone rings. He glances at the screen and then at me. “I have to take this real quick, okay?”“Sure,” I tell him.As long as it’s not Tilly, I don’t care whom he talks to. That’s a lie. If this has anything to do with Boston, which I think it does, I’m scared. I’m scared to find out which job he’s going to take and how fast he’ll be gone. Because I know Boston is what he wants. I just don’t know what that means for us. Or if there will even be an us once he accepts.West’s gone for about fifteen minutes, and by then, I’ve finished most of my drink.He stands next to my chair and holds out his hand. “Let’s go in the water.”His tone isn’t good. Another phone call and another side of West.This time, not caring what response I get, I ask, “Is everything okay?” I need the truth from him, no matter what.“We’ll talk in the water.”I take his hand and let him lead me across the sand.The second the water touches our toe

WestI carry Piper through the lobby of the hotel, into the elevator, and straight into our room where I throw her on the bed. She’s familiar with my roughness and the places I can bring her body. I’m sure that’s the reason she’s going to trust me inside her ass. But I’ve been waiting so long to have it, I don’t know if I can be as gentle as she needs me to be.I’d never hurt her intentionally.But there’s no way around it. This is going to be painful.I crawl up her body until my mouth is next to her ear. “Tell me again. I want to hear it.” With one of my hands, I reach into the nightstand and grab the small bottle of lube I bought just for this moment.When I return, she uses her heels to slip off my shorts, and she cuffs my cock in her hand.“You can have my ass, West.” After each word, she pumps my dick. “Do whatever you want to it. I can take it.” Her strokes become faster, squeezing me tighter in her palm. “But do it now. I can’t wait any longer for you to touch me.”That virgin

I take more of the wetness from her pussy and give another squirt of lube, and I rub them both over my cock while I rock my hips back. She closes in around me as I pull out to my tip and then sucks me in as I force in half of my shaft.“Harder, West.”I turn my head, making sure I heard her right. “Harder?”“Yesss.”I do it again, but this time, I go in a little faster, adding more of her juices to my skin so that I can keep her damp enough where I continue slipping in.Within a few more pumps, I’m almost fully buried, and she still hasn’t loosened at all. I know the way I’m grinding her clit is taking some of the attention off the way I’m abusing her ass. But I also know this is painful for her. Yet she keeps on trusting me, keeps on believing I will do everything I can to make this enjoyable for her.Completely inside her now, I stay still, letting her ass relax and get used to me being in it, before I begin my assault. As I look down, I see her pussy clenching. She’s already so ful

“I already showered. I have to go.”He runs his palms over my nipples, and I wince. They ache, too.“I’m sorry, baby. I was too rough with you.”“I like it rough,” I tell him. “Now, go sleep for the both of us. I have to get going.”But West never gets back in bed. Once I’m out, he’s not getting back in until I do. He follows me to the kitchen, hands me a breakfast shake, and walks me to the lobby. I don’t know what I did to deserve this kind of attention, but I love it. Something as simple as walking me to my car makes me feel lucky.I unlock my car door and climb in, and when I turn the key, nothing. My car hates the hot weather. It never wants to start, and when it does, there’s no guarantee it’ll get me to where I’m going. It’s not even that old, but it’s given up on me. Thankfully, I won’t need a car in Boston.West stands next to me with his keys dangling from a finger, like he knew this was going to happen. Smiling, he opens my door and places the keys in my hand. “Don’t dent h

WestIt’s game one in the first round of the playoffs. Philly has a wild card, and they’re playing Boston at home. Eddy has been blowing up my phone all day, talking so much shit about tonight’s game. He’s sure his team is going to win. I’m positive mine will.I watched my guys skate this morning, and I talked to them in the locker room after practice. Their heads are in the right space. This is a more intense competition, and they’re ready for it. They’ve found their rhythm on the ice. They’re working together as a team. As long as there aren’t any distractions, they’ll have this series beat.With the puck scheduled to drop in thirty minutes, the broadcasting crew is just wrapping up our quick pregame meeting. Four of us will be commentating—two giving the on-air play-by-play of the game and the other two speaking from the desk in the press box, going live on ESPN during commercial breaks and the postgame wrap-up. I’m part of the latter group, which means I’ll be giving direct feedba
