“Fuck, Bella,” he groans. “Keep that shit up and you’ll be a member of the Mile High Club.”
I giggle, looking up to see Blaze Beckham pulling his girlfriend into the bathroom, the door slamming shut behind them. “Well, that idea’s out. Looks like Blaze has the same idea for Mads.” Just then, we hear a loud crack followed by a feminine moan coming from that direction.
My eyes widen and Maverick laughs. “Let them have their fun. They’ve been through a lot.”
“Get it, girl!” her best friend Dia yells as she plops down in the seat next to Dalton Davis. She looks at me and smiles.
I look around to see his teammates and friends having the time of their lives and my heart squeezes. These are the types of friends I want in my life. People who are just there for each other. No pretenses, no expectations from one another. The season is officially over and they’re still choosing to spend time with each other.
An hour later, we step off the plane into the cars that await to bring us to our hotel. Carlo has been amazing, stepping back and letting Maverick take care of me. He’s made sure all my destinations are secure and he’s agreed to watch me from afar while I enjoy my first night of real freedom. I think he knows I’m safe with Mav, too.
We pull into the private parking garage of our hotel and walk inside as a group. Everyone has been indulging in champagne and shots, some more than others, and we’re loud as hell on our way to the bar.
The hostess greets us as we enter, opening a velvet rope for us to pass through. “Congratulations on your win!” she says to the guys before turning to me. “And your performance was the best I’ve ever seen.”
“Thank you,” I say as Maverick grabs my hand and leads me to the VIP section that has been cleared out for us.
Mads and Dia run up to us, taking my hands and pulling me along with them. “Sorry, Mav,” Mads says. “We’re stealing your girl.” He reaches for me, but they’re quick as they wrench my arms away and we take off to order drinks.
“Okay, don’t take this the wrong way,” Dia says. “But Maverick is so fucking hot. His quads are bigger than my head. Have you ever just…licked them?”
I throw my head back in a laugh. “I don’t blame you for thinking that. And, yes, I’ve pretty much licked him everywhere.” My face heats with embarrassment, but I’m quickly validated when Mads puts her hand up for a high-five, which I immediately indulge. The fact that I can just be myself around them isn’t something I’ve gotten to experience much. I always have to be careful what I say because I’ve been taught that nobody can be trusted. But I know it’s different with Maverick’s friends. They’re kind and genuine.
The bartender hands us our shots and we hold them up. “To getting in trouble,” Mads says.
Dia groans. “For the love of God, Madison. Donotget that man worked up. I’m supposed to room with you guys tonight.”
“What’s done is done,” Mads says with a wink before downing her tequila and slamming the glass on the bar. “See ya.”She waves at us before turning and walking to the dance floor as we throw back our shots.
“Ugh,” Dia whines, setting her glass down. “Looks like I’m sleeping in the hallway tonight.”
Confusion takes over my face. “Why?”
Before she can answer me, a strong set of arms wraps around my waist. I take in the scent of Mav’s cologne before glancing over my shoulder at him. “Sorry, Dia. I need my girl back,” he says, kissing my cheek.
“Yeah, yeah,” she replies, rolling her eyes. “You’re all fucking gorgeous, and everyone is getting laid but me. Fuck you guys,” she mumbles sarcastically before walking back toward our section where Dalton and Tanner sit, watching over the crowd.
I turn toward him, wrapping my arms around his neck. “I think I love your friends.”
He cups my cheek with his hand, leaning his mouth to my ear. “I think I loveyou.”
I still in his arms, pulling back to look into his eyes. I need to know if he’s serious. I expect to see a teasing expression on his face, but all I see is a hopeful smile. “Can we go somewhere quiet?” he asks.
I nod my head because suddenly, I can’t think of anything else I’d rather do than hear him repeat himself where I can soak in every last word. He takes me by the hand, interlocking our fingers as he leads me to the private elevators that take us to the floor of executive suites Tanner booked for our group. I follow him wordlessly as we reach our room, and he uses the key card to unlock our door. As soon as we’re inside, he turns, lifting me off my feet and pressing me against the door. I wrap my legs around him, feeling his erection press against my clit as he grinds into me.
“Baby,” he groans, trailing his lips down my neck, sucking on the sensitive skin under my ear. “I need to be inside you right now.”
“Maverick. P-please,” I beg. I’ve never needed him so bad. My whole body prickles with anticipation as he carries me to the bed, gently laying me down before lowering himself onto me. I open my legs, the fabric of the long jersey I just couldn’t take off after my performance bunching above my hips. He grinds into me, the pressure from his cock making a direct hit to my sensitive clit as I feel my body begin to tighten with my building orgasm.
“These fucking shorts,” he growls, pulling my shorts and panties down in one go and throwing them across the room. He frantically brings his hands to the button of his dress pants, pulling them down with his boxer briefs, making his impressive dick spring free. My mouth waters at the sight of it.
I move to sit up so I can take him into my mouth, but he pushes me back. “Bella, I’m hanging by a fucking thread right now. If you even breathe on my cock, I swear I’ll blow all over your pretty face. And Ineedto be inside you.”
I gasp as he lowers his hand, spearing two fingers inside me. “Fuck, baby. You’re dripping,” he says, pumping them in and out slowly.
“Maverick,” I whimper. “Please fuck me.”
In an instant, he replaces his fingers with his dick, filling me and stretching me to my absolute limit. He stills, waiting for my inner walls to relax before he begins slowly thrusting in and out. I feel himeverywhere. Inside my body, heart, and soul. It’s almost overwhelming as he continues fucking into me.
