I inhale her scent deep into my lungs, holding back a groan. “That’s what sex is like, Darcy. It’s sweaty, intense, and life-changing.”

On the edge of control, I tip my mouth to her cheek, pressing a soft kiss there, watching her eyes widen even more.

“Good night, Darce.”

“Good night,” she whispers back.

I feel her gaze on me as I head to my room and close the door. Moments later, lying in bed, I relive our kiss with my hand around my cock, stroking myself closer and closer to the edge of release, until pleasure races up my spine, my balls tighten, and I spill all over my stomach with a low, pained groan that I don’t even try to muffle.

Catching my breath, staring out the window, I know I can’t deny my feelings for her anymore.

I like her. I’ve always liked her. It’s not going away, no matter how hard I try.

And teaching her the things she wants to learn? It just might kill me.

CHAPTER 28

HAYDEN

The next evening,Miller and I sit on the bench during a game, eyes on the ice.

“How are you feeling, bud?” he asks.

I reach for my water bottle and take a long drink. “Never better,” I lie.

The kiss from last night replays in my head, again and again. I woke up this morning hard as steel, thinking about the soft, breathy moan she made when I sucked on her tongue.

I’m such a fucking asshole. I’m supposed to be watching out for her, helping her, and instead, I’m jerking off while thinking of her.

Miller slants a look of amused disbelief at me. “You seem distracted.”

I grit my teeth, because I know what the sports commentators are saying.

What is Tate Ward doing, moving one of his best defensemen to a new position two months before playoffs? Ward put him on the first line when he looks more like a second- or third-line player.

Since I moved positions, I’ve been racking up the assists, but no goals. Ward hasn’t said a word, but I know I’m notplaying the way he wants me to. When Volkov and I played together as a defensive pair, it worked because I became whatever he needed me to be.

“I pass to you and you pass it right back.” Miller regards me for a long moment. “You’re holding back. You’re still playing like a defenseman.”

He’s right that I’m distracted. All I can hear isdo most guys know how to give a girl a G-spot orgasm?I had a toy… I didn’t like it.What’s your favorite sex position?

Darcy Andersen is going to fucking kill me. I swallow hard, glancing over to where she sits with Hazel and Pippa.

“Okay.” Miller nods, following the direction of my gaze with a knowing grin. “I see how it is.”

The air whooshes out of my lungs in a heavy exhale. “We kissed.”

He lights up. “That’s great.”

“It wasn’t like that.” My grip tightens on my stick. “It was a one-time thing. I was just?—”

“Let me guess. Helping her?” He smirks. “Because you’re her wingman.”

My silence is enough of an answer, apparently. Miller tilts his head, narrowing his eyes at me with a growing grin.

“I have an idea.”

“Miller, I don’t need your dating advice.”
