She urged me on in that hallway before my teammates interrupted us.
I know she wanted this just as badly as me.
Having her lips on mine, sliding so perfectly together. Her hands were gripping my hair, my chest, and my shoulders, trying to get as close as possible.
It felt even more incredible than I could ever imagine.
Maybe she needs some time to process this.
The feelings she evokes in me can feel overwhelming, but I welcome them, confident in us.
I’m sure as hell not letting her brush us off that easily, but I’ll give her time.

Fuck. What did I do?
And why did it have to feel so freaking amazing?
Why did I leave?
I bring my fingers to my lips as the elevator goes down.
Maybe I’m being a coward.
Perhaps I should take the elevator back up.
I know that’s what my heart and libido are hoping for.
My head, on the other hand, is telling me all the reasons why this is a bad idea.
Number one, he’s the captain of the NHL team I’m working with.
Number two, I’ll meet him at work all the time.
Number three, the feelings he evokes in me are terrifying. He has the power to break down every wall I’ve ever built to protect myself; he’s well underway already.
And that right there is the reason I just ran out of his apartment with my tail between my legs.
God, I’m pathetic.
I’ve never been the girl who’s afraid of some feelings.
When he finally kissed me, I was relieved.
The tension between us has been killing me, and it all got too much when he was doing a photoshoot half-naked in front of me this morning.
On top of that, he had to ask for my advice on his team, even though he’s already a great leader and captain.
Having him confide in me felt special.
And don’t get me started on that kiss.
He lit every nerve ending in my body on fire with his tongue, his lips, his touch.
The way we fit together so effortlessly, so perfectly.
