After our eventful walk to the rink, the team of course in full swing, pumped for a game as usual, except this time they get to watch.
Bree attached to one arm and Keri attached to the other as we walk into the rink, finally breaking apart due to the crowded lobby. People waiting in lines with their tickets, or the food concession stands. It's loud, the game atmosphere is starting to creep its way in. But this is no game at home. This is the big leagues, it's four times the amount of people, tv crews to show live feeds, it's wild and a dream come true for them.
Making our way through the side entrance, the way I was told to go by Coach Josh, having a little special treatment. I take everyone to the section we are to sit in before I tell them I'll be back, so I can go mess with Jax for a minute; Hey, he told me to. I'm only being a good girl.
The noise fades but still hums around me as I go into the back hallway and when I round the corner, I see Jax sitting on a bench with his elbows to his knees holding his head in his hands. It makes me pause for a moment, waiting and watching to see if maybe he's doing some pre-game prayer I don't know about, or mantra, I don't know so I just wait.
But he does nothing, so I make my way to him and squat in front of him, dropping my ass to my heels, my knees to my chest.
"Jax" I say his name softly and he looks up, meeting my gaze on him with a smile.
"You okay?"
He nods, "Yeah, just thinking."
I can see the worry in his eyes, I understand, this is a big deal, and he just started playing with this team, "Remember what I told you this morning Jax."
He nods, feeling that quiet, almost a coldness my brother also feeds off him. So, I give it my best shot, in hopes he will get his head right. This isn't Jax, he's normally pumped, headphones on vibing, feeling this energy, but right now, I know he's not, and in this moment, sex isn't going to do a damn thing for him.
Taking his hands in mine, "Jax, I've watched you play since I can remember, and you've carried the team at home through high school and college, leading them to victory every time. You can do it now."
He leans back as he pulls me into his lap and I straddle him, hooking my arms around his neck as I look into those bright greens, "Thank you, Angel. You're always here for me."
"And you're always here for me." I kiss his cheek before I tuck my head in the crease of his neck as he holds me straddling his lap, leaning back against the wall.
I say one more thing to him, knowing this will light a fire under his ass. He hated when he was beat on home ice, it fuels his energy, "This is your home ice now Jax, protect it."
He squeezes me tighter before he pulls my head from his shoulder, "You're right, this is our home."
I smile and nod before our lips meet instantly, like honey drawing a bee in. And when his tongue sweeps across mine just so soft and perfect, I feel like I'm the Queen in the honey hive.
He makes me feel everything with his touch, how he kisses me with meaning every time. It's not a kiss just to kiss. He tells me his story in his kiss, his story of loving me. And I embrace every damn minute of this moment with him.
He pulls his lips from mine, before I smile, "Now, go play some damn hockey, so you can see me in that dress."
He chuckles lifting a brow, "I can’t fucking wait."
The locker room door flies open, Sully walking out looking over at us, then sits on the bench next to Jax, and I stay where I am.
"Would I sound like a pussy if I said I was a bit nervous?" Sully says playfully and I giggle; fucking Sully.
"No, someone once told me, it’s good to be nervous." I shoot Jax a hard stare out of the corner of my eye and he smiles, catching onto that. That’s what he told me last night.
"Yeah, you’re right about that." Sully chuckles.
I slide from Jax’s lap, stepping between them, before I give them both a good punch in the chest at the same time, "Now get your shit together."
"Have a good game." They both laugh as I turn and start to walk away, before I feel an arm wrap around my stomach, pulling me back. Jax starts planting playful kisses up my neck, tickling the shit out of me, causing me to laugh and curl into his arm.
"See, you guys are fine." I giggle out before Jax turns me, facing him and he cups my cheek, trailing the pad of his thumb across my cheek. My lips twist, getting a horrible idea in my head, but whatever.
I reach under my dress, Jax cocking his brow as his eyes drop to see what I am doing, and I wiggle my thong down, stepping out of it.
"Since this worked last time." I whisper, and put my panties in his hand, looking up with my seductive look.
He claims my lips, still telling me that story but harder, giving me that hungry kiss of his darkened desires, as he drags my bottom lip through his teeth, pulling back, "You are in so much trouble tonight."
I hum my smile, shooting him a wink, "I can’t fucking wait."
