I turn and place my hands on the wall as Macklin guides his cock inside me. He doesn’t enter at first, he just rubs himself against my clit and up to my ass. Everything is still throbbing inside me and him doing that drives me wild. When he does slide into me, a moan escapes me and my hips begin to move. His hands grab on to my hips as he moves at a staccato, pounding into me from behind. He thrusts harder and faster, and I feel myself building again. My breasts are bouncing and it feels so sexy. His body is so strong and muscular. His muscles working as he moves. I feel him growing inside me, hitting all the right spots. I lean on the wall feeling my orgasm coming and wondering how it is even possible to have so many orgasms in a day.

When Macklin grunts and comes inside me, he sets me off and I push my pussy harder onto his cock. We move in sync, drawing out every ounce of ecstasy.

We are both breathing hard as he pulls out of me. I turn around, wrapping my arms around him, “Is this normal, Mack?”

“What?” he asks.

“For the sex to be this good?” I clarify.

“Definitely not, Periwinkle. It’s us together.”

CHAPTER THIRTY

Shut Off the Sun

Hayden

Buying a last-minute plane ticket to Toronto was not in my budget, but heading back to Riverside U by myself seemed too depressing. I charged the flight to a credit card, knowing soon I’d be making enough money to pay for it without a worry.

One of my best friends, Shane Stalkhouse, plays for the Toronto Eagles. He has a condo in downtown Toronto and told me I could visit whenever I wanted. I leave the airport and head into the snowy night. The wind whips at my face as I enter the Uber waiting for me. Shane wanted to pick me up, but I told him there was no point.

As we head down the highway, my mind is still working overtime. I can’t believe Macklin is with my sister and he hid it from me. I think of all the times I asked him to watch out for her when I wasn’t around, and he made me think he had my back. Ruby is my baby sister. She is my responsibility and I’ve been watching out for her ever since I can remember. In high school, I made sure all the horny guys who were after only one thing kept away from her. I was on my school hockey team. Iknew almost everyone and so my warnings were heeded. After I left it was Macklin watching out for her. I remember when Macklin first moved across the hall from us. He was quiet and seemed lost. He kept to himself and didn’t really have anyone since his foster mother was a big bitch. Abuela brought him into our little family. We treated him like one of us. I considered him a brother. I can’t believe he’d stab me in the back this way.

The Uber drops me off in front of the tall condominium building. It looks like a newer building. I text Shane I’m here and he tells me to enter the lobby, and security will let me through. I head up to his apartment on the tenth floor, thinking how some of us don’t come from much, but the NHL gives us opportunities we would not have otherwise. I obviously have worked my ass off but being here feels surreal.

I knock on Shane’s door. He opens it. “Bro.” He pulls me in for a hug. “Come on in.”

“Thanks, bro,” I say as I roll my suitcase into his swanky apartment. “Shit, bro, you’ve scored big.” The place is decorated in dark grays. It looks like an ultimate bachelor pad with a large screen TV and a large couch. He has music playing in the background and he asks Google to stop the music.

“Yeah, bro. Things have been good here. Toronto is a nice city and I’ve lucked out with my teammates.”

“I’d thought you’d go home for the holidays,” I say to him.

“I did but we don’t have that much time off. I only flew out for the day and came home. Besides, Christmas with my dad and his girlfriend’s family isn’t much to write home about.”

I snicker. “Probably better than mine.”

He takes my jacket and tells me to leave the suitcase where it is.

“Are you hungry?” he asks.

“I’m starving,” I admit, and we walk into his kitchen. It’s made of dark gray lacquered kitchen cabinets and blackstainless-steel appliances that are all built in to the wall. This place looks pricey as shit.

“Take a seat.” He points to the breakfast island.

I take a seat. He begins to take all kinds of containers out of his massive fridge, and he pops them in the oven.

“You were always with the family on the holidays, I was surprised when you called,” he says.

“Yeah, well, we had a little too much family drama for my liking,” I reply. There is no way I am sharing with Shane what went down between Macklin and Ruby. He was teammates with Macklin and I know they are still in touch, and he’s met Ruby a number of times too.

“Anything you care to share?” he asks curiously as he takes the trays he put in the oven out. He sets them down on the breakfast bar and passes me two plates and some cutlery.

“Nah, my head is swimming. I need to forget about it for a while,” I deflect.

“Are you up for going out? Some of my teammates are headed to a club. We got the VIP section.”

“That sounds perfect,” I tell him.
