Page 6 of Pucking Obsessed

I pull my hand between us to gently take D’Angelo by the chin and turn him to face me again. “I’m fucking obsessed with you too. I love you, Jude.”

D’Angelo’s eyes light up on my whispered use of his first name.

“Say it again,” he snarls.

I study D’Angelo’s long, raven lashes, which frame his hopeful, blue eyes.

Fucking beautiful.

“Jude,” I whisper, kissing him on each word and feeling how hard he is in his pants, as he humps against me. “Jude.”

“Read this.” D’Angelo leans over the side of the couch to pick up the fallen Guide.

Then he draws back to straddle me and holds the Guide open in front of me like an unorthodox but extremely hot professor.

I scrunch up my nose. “This is what you’ve been working on…?”

He nods.

I study the page that’s written in his handwriting.

Having lived next to D’Angelo in dorms at college, as well as the other sections of the Guide that are filled in by him, I’d know his handwriting anywhere.

“I’m not in the habit of repeating myself,” D’Angelo says, sternly.

Hurriedly, I start reading out loud:

A Guide to Loving Hockey Players

Robyn’s Number One Rule: Act out a secret fantasy with NHL hockey players every time that they win a game.

Top three reasons:

They’re gods on the ice but are more obsessed with you than their sticks.

They’ll burn down the world to protect you against the world’s monsters.

The Prince twins.

But never forget it all began with D’Angelo...

D’Angelo looks smug.“I hope that the stickmen are self-explanatory. They’re acting out some of the fantasies. It’s hard to draw primal play, bondage, and hot vampire role play with stickmen. So, you should be impressed by my creativity.”

“Stickmen with fangs or in handcuffs. You’ve created a whole new art form.” I glance over the top of the book at D’Angelo. “But what’s this new rule for me?”

Anticipation thrums through me.
