Page 16 of Breaking the Pucking Rules
Her tongue licks across her own as if she’s imagining tasting me just like I am her.
“I think I’m done here,” she finally says once her eyes jump back up to mine.
Removing one hand from my waist, she dips her fingers into the top of her dress and pulls out a small,black card.
Without saying anything, she slips it into my shirt pocket.
“Give me ten minutes,” she says before taking a step back.
I let her go, my excitement and nerves stopping me from reacting. But just before she slips away, I reach for her.
My fingers wrap around her wrist, and I gently pull her back so I can whisper in her ear.
“I’ll follow your rules for now. But once I get up there, I’ll be the one in charge.”

KODIE
She walks through the room with her hips swaying and determination in each step, and reality slams into me.
She’s going up to her hotel room to wait…for me.
Holy fuck.
With my eyes still on her, I make my way off the dance floor.
“Bro, where’s your girl going?” Fletch asks as I pass him unknowingly.
“U-uh?—”
“Is everything okay?” he asks, his hand curling around my shoulder and forcing my attention to him.
“Y-yeah. Everything is great.”
He looks in her direction just in time to see her flee through the double doors.
“Your dancing wasn’t that bad,” he mocks as if it’ll make this situation better.
Sucking in a deep breath, I attempt to get my shit together.
I’ve got a decision to make.
Follow through and potentially have the best night of my life.
Or bail and go home and…always regret it.
Her words from earlier come back to me.“Nothing worse than living with regrets.”
Would I ever forgive myself if I called a car and disappeared instead of seeing where this could lead me?
She’s already told me that she isn’t interested in anything more than a night. And she clearly has no idea who I am.
It’s safe to let go and enjoy myself, right?
“Kodie?” Fletcher asks, his brows pinched with concern.
“She hasn’t left. She’s?—”
