Page 35 of Not Your Pucking Girl

“Thanks, Coach,” I say with a nod as the boys cheer and chant around me. We’ve added yet another victory to our belts.

“As for the rest of you, it was sloppy. We barely got by. I saw far too many suicide passes. It’s no wonder Jaxon got body checked. I expect more. I’m scheduling an extra training session this week, so be prepared and keep checking the notice board for session times.” The boys groan, but after a sharp look from Coach, they snap right back into their celebrations. “Get out of here,” Coach orders.

The crowd waiting for us on the other side of the door seems to have doubled over the last few weeks, and I know that’s solely because of Dani and Sophie making us look like the gods we pretend to be. I push my way through the crowd in search of the one face that I desperately need to see, getting slaps of approval on the back as I go.

My eyes land on her almost instantly as if she called for me, and I make my way over to her, finding her with Jared. “Hey,” she grins.

“Hey, yourself,” I say, leaning in and kissing her on the cheek. “Where’s Sophie tonight?”

“Oh, you know,” she says. “She said something about jumping Tank in the locker room.”

“And you didn’t feel that way inclined?” I laugh.

She gives me an innocent smile which I see through perfectly. “I guess I could go and join them. I’m sure Tank wouldn’t mind, but Sophie’s been a little territorial lately.”

“I’m sure he wouldn’t,” I laugh, knowing damn well I walked straight into that one. “But you know that’s not what I meant.”

She smiles up at me, her beautiful eyes sparkling, blowing me the fuck away and making my chest ache with raw emotion. “I’m not sure I follow,” she says sweetly.

“You’re such a smartass,” I grin. “Are you going home or do you feel like coming out with the boys?”

“We might come out for a bit,” she says, glancing toward Jared to gauge his thoughts.

“Don’t look at me. I don’t give a shit what we do as long as there’s beer,” he shrugs.

I grab her by the hand and lace my fingers through hers, but she stiffens and looks up at me suspiciously. She’s still so nervous, but it won’t be long until she realizes I’m not going to hurt her. I squeeze her hand and watch as her gaze softens and she starts to relax.

I lead her outside as we wait for the rest of the boys to crowd around. Tank and Sophie never show, but I’m not surprised. He’s probably ten inches deep right now. We figure out our plans, and I send him a quick text knowing he’ll show up eventually.

Fifteen minutes later, we pull up outside Jaxon’s place, which he rents from the college with Shorty and Aaron. The door stands wide open, the music blaring, and the mass texts sent out have the place crammed with bodies.

Jared and Dani stick around me, but the moment Jared’s boyfriend appears in the doorway, he takes off, leaving me alone with my girl.

After refilling both our drinks, I lead her outside for some fresh air and take her over to a quiet space where we can have some privacy. Finding a chair, I sit down and pull her into my lap, rubbing my hand up and down her leg while my other hand stays firmly laced through hers. Dani twists on my lap and faces me, those green eyes still unsure but also so full of confidence as she brings her lips down to mine.

Finally, it’s her making the move.

She kisses me with everything she’s got, and the sweetest taste of strawberry vodka on her lips is enough to drive me crazy. I deepen the kiss and she moans into me before biting my bottom lip. Dani slides her hand up my shirt and spreads her fingers over my chest while she grinds herself onto my dick.

When we finally pull apart, I can’t help but stare up at her, completely in awe of this beautiful woman. “I will never get enough of you,” I tell her.

She looks down at me, the softest smile resting on her lips. “I know what you mean.”

We sit together for a while until Sophie and Tank barge through the back door. Sophie grabs Dani and yanks her off my lap, demanding she takes her dancing. I watch as she takes off to the makeshift dance floor, shaking her ass just perfectly and making me want to sink my teeth into her creamy skin.

The boys begin to gather around, dragging chairs over and plonking down as we celebrate our win together. I look over to watch my girl dance when a petite body drops into my lap. I go to push the girl off but can’t when her arms lock around my neck. She holds me tight, and I do what I can to get a look at who the hell is sitting on my lap. That spot is reserved for someone else.

“Stop pushing me away you big jerk and give me a hug,” her little voice laughs.

What the hell? It couldn’t be. I focus harder on the person before me, taking in her dark hair and dark eyes that look so much like mine, even though they have a little too much makeup on for my liking.

“Holy fucking shit. Mia?” I beam, relaxing and pulling her in hard against me, not realizing just how much I missed the brat until this very moment. “What the hell are you doing here?”

“I wanted to surprise you, so I came for your game,” she tells me.

“What? How long have you been here? You should have told me. I could have reserved seats,” I tell her.

“Please,” she scoffs, swatting my shoulder. “You know I don’t like all that special attention. I just wanted to see you play. You’ve gotten pretty good since the last time I saw you, Captain,” she smirks.
