His chuckle was almost a rumble of thunder. “No. I’m trying very hard to be a gentleman, and the closer I am to you, the harder it becomes.”

Oh fuck. My mind went to all the filthy places with that. My body agreed with those thoughts, aching to have him take me. “But… I don’t know you. What if you’re a murderer?”

“I’d never harm you. Never.” He growled out the last word with his mouth next to my ear.

I knew it to be true. I felt it to my very bones. With him, I was safe. With him… It was like when Kane held me, and when Maddox did. It felt right in their arms, just as it felt right here with Casimir. Yet Kane and the pack were players on my dad’s hockey team. Casimir was likely just some visiting businessman passing through the province. One night and he’d be gone. I wouldn’t have to worry about seeing him again. I’d be free to do as I wished.

“I have a flight to catch in the morning. You can’t stay long.” I should have pushed him away and told him this wasn’t happening. I ran from the pack, but they left me with a throbbing need. Now here I was with Casimir, dripping with slick and ready for him to take me. I couldn’t imagine it not happening. I had to have him.

Just for a little while. Then he’d be gone forever.

“Invite me in,” he whispered more harshly. His breath was hot against my neck.

“You’re invited, but you have to promise me one thing.” I swiped my key card and the door beeped. It swept open behind me into the room, and I nearly fell back with it. Casimir kept me on my feet and walked step for step with me into the suite. Our bodies so in sync. The door shut, and I dropped my stuff onto the nearest chair.

“What do you want me to promise?” His arms snaked around me, and when our bodies pressed together, my body shook like I’d had a mini orgasm.

I had to have him.

“Promise me you’ll no longer try to be a gentleman.”

CHAPTER SEVEN – Casimir

This Omega. Fuck. She knew exactly what to say.

I mashed my lips to hers, tasting fruity soda on her lips. Sweet and intoxicating, vibrant as her bright spirit and pink hair. Her body molded to mine and trembled with our connection. I forced my tongue between her lips and claimed her mouth as mine.

Mine.

I saw her hurry away from my teammates. Cowards. Those fools let Kienna get away, but I wouldn’t. The second I saw her in the arena, I had to have her.

She hit the side of the chair as I pressed our bodies harder against one another’s. The little noises she made made me starved for more. I slipped a hand under her shirt, skimming her silky skin. Never had a woman affected me like this. Not the dozens of Omegas my parents paraded in front of me demanding I pick one to make an heir to the Velky fortune with. Their eyes were always downcast, quiet and proper. But not Kienna.

“My room.” Kienna fisted my shirt in her hands and pulled me across the room and down the short hall. Not once did her mouth leave mine. Every one of my feverish kisses she met with equal heat. She wanted me as much as I wanted her and wasn’t playing coy about it. There was nothing hotter than a woman who knew what she wanted.

I kissed down her neck, nipping at her flesh as we entered a bedroom. She kicked the door closed and immediately started to pull up my shirt. “Get this off.”

The urgency in her voice made me harder, almost painfully so. Part of me wanted to savor our first moment together, but I couldn’t stop myself. Skin to skin was what I needed too. I helped her yank my polo off, her handsimmediately ran over my chest, and then I tugged at her sweater. “An eye for an eye.”

Kienna paused with the flat of her hands on me. Her eyes were dark and wild, trying to grasp at understanding. “What?”

I groaned and kissed her again, never wanting her to stop. Sometimes Russian idioms did not translate well. “My shirt is off, now yours.”

She raised her arms as I lifted her sweater. Her perky tits bounced out from under it, still bound in a lacy white bra. Perfect and soft, I rained kisses over her breasts and nibbled at her nipples through the lace. She squealed and squirmed, and I gripped her tight ass to keep her against me.

“So beautiful,” I murmured and sucked free one tit from the cup of her bra. Putting my whole mouth to work on it, I ate up her moans and the way her lithe body trembled. Wetness from her slick had soaked through her pants. The musky scent made me further like an untamed animal, and this Omega, my perfect mate.

“Casimir,” she mewled and ground her hips against me. Her nails drew down my shoulders to my back and dug into my skin. “I need you so bad.”

And I couldn’t deny her. I licked back up her throat to kiss her and loosened her sweatpants. “You can have me. All of me.”

Never had I been ready to give up everything in my life for something, or someone. Hockey had always been my passion, but it was a young man’s sport. It wouldn’t be my life forever. I studied medicine when I wasn’t on the ice. Even with my family’s wealth, I wanted a career that would make a difference. What I wanted even more was someone to share that life with.

Kienna could be that someone. And even though we’d just met, everything in me roared shewasthe one.

It didn’t matter to me she was the Rampage’s new owner’s daughter. If he kicked me off the team for this, then Istill had a future. Hockey wasn’t everything. A mate with beauty, heart, and a sizzling libido would be well worth it.

I lifted her, encouraging her to wrap her legs around me. She clung to me as we kissed, and I walked us to the bed as I kneaded her sweet ass. With one hand, I unclasped her bra and leaned toward the mattress. “Lie down and let me take off the rest of your clothes.”
