When Sarah emerges from the bathroom, she takes my breath away.
She’s wearing a black dress, tight on her chest with a high neckline, then flowing from her waist.
Underneath, she’s wearing black stockings and a pair of high heels, and she’s touched up her makeup.
At my expression, she smiles at me and does a little twirl on her way over to me.
“You like it?” She goes straight into my arms, her hands lacing behind my neck.
When she’s wearing her high heels, she’s a little closer to my height.
“You look gorgeous, baby.” I kiss her nose once, before leaning down to capture her lips.
The kiss quickly turns heated, with our tongues twisting and hands roaming.
“Hell, angel. We need to leave now, before I rip that dress right off you and carry you to the bedroom.”
Even though we’d probably have a great time staying in as well, I want to take her out. Show her howshe’s so much more to me than just a sex partner. Sarah would probably jump on the idea of staying in, as she’s a little reluctant about us being together.
I, on the other hand, want to show her how good we are together, in every sense.
“Let’s go.” She grabs my hand before we get in the elevator down to the garage.
I drive towards our destination, caressing Sarah’s hand the whole way while we talk about our day.
In the early part of her internship, she had a lot to learn about the team, its dynamics, and its players.
Over time, she’s becoming more confident in her role and her ability to contribute to the team.
I’ve been following her work and hearing all the praise from the guys, which makes me extra proud of her, knowing hockey players can be a tough crowd.
“Some of the other NHL teams have an advantage on us, as you can tell, they’ve invested a ton in social media and marketing, but I’m sure we’ll get there in time.”
When Sarah talks about Coyotes as a “we,” I feel my heart thumping in my chest.
She’s quickly become part of our team, and part of me is hoping she’ll have the opportunity to stay with us even after the internship ends.
I could hire her as my personal social media strategist, but I know she would never accept that, so hopefully she’ll get the opportunity when the time comes.
“The guys have been speaking positively about your work, Sarah. Even though I’ve wanted to rip off their heads for talking about you, they’ve only had positive things to say, so I’d let them off the hook. As long as there were no sexual remarks about how amazing you always look,” I say, bringing our intertwined fingers up and kissing her knuckles.
She chuckles beside me, turning her body more towards me.
“Gotten jealous over me, McGregor? Even before there was something between us?” She teases me, her other hand caressing my biceps.
“You know just as well as me, baby, that there was never a time when it was nothing between us,” I tell her, giving her a knowing look out of the corner of my eye.
Ever since she showed up outside my hotel room, there’s been a connection between us, and she knows this.
“Hm, I don’t know, captain. Sounds like you’re just jealous someone else could have had a chance.”
Now, I know she’s messing with me, but I also know Sarah loves it when I make it clear just how much she’s mine.
Luckily, I’ve just reached our destination, and I park my car in a shadowed part of the parking lot.
“It seems like my girl is confused about just how mine she is,” I say, taking off my seat belt before continuing.
I hold out my hand toward her.
