“Don’t stop, Carson,” Andi moans, her ass pressing harder into me as she takes every thrust. I take a mental picture of her like this, storing it in my brain for a rainy, lonely day. “I’m so close.”

Fuck, she’s hot.

Applying more pressure, I roll my fingers, circling her clit as I feel her getting even closer. “That’s it,” I moan, my head tipping back as my face screws up. My eyelids slam shut, the muscles in my shoulders tightening as the warmth in my stomach begins to overflow. “Come for me.”

I groan, my hand gripping the back of her neck tighter as I pound into her harder. She cries out, the walls of her cunt pulsating around my cock as she loses herself around me. Her orgasm sends shockwaves through her body, her pussy gripping me so fucking tight, it sends me over the edge. My cock fills her completely as I come, pumping her full as my thrusts turn slow and lazy, drawing out my own orgasm.

She’s a mess of breathless moans by the time we’re both done. I slide my hand away from the front of her body as I withdraw from her. Gripping her hips, I pull her away from thedesk and help her to stand upright as she gets her bearings straight.

Shallow breaths escape her as she stares back at me. Her once sleek ponytail is disheveled, her cheeks tinted pink, her eyes glazed over, and lips swollen. Reaching down, she pulls her dress back down her thighs, covering herself.

“That was the best distraction I’ve ever had.”

Bending down, I grab the box of tissues I knocked off the desk and hand them to her to clean herself. “You know, I could give you my number and be of service any time you want.”

What the fuck am I saying?

She pushes away from the desk and clicks her tongue as she walks past me, stopping by the trashcan by the door as she disposes of the tissues. I wipe off my dick and shove it back into my pants as I get myself straightened.

Turning back to me, she shakes her head, amusement lighting up her expression. “That wasn’t what we agreed to,” she says with a wink and a lazy grin. I’m fucking captivated by her. “I’m only here for a week or so before I have to head back to Rome. I’m currently studying abroad there, but if we ever happen to run into each other again, I’m sure I can use another distraction.”

“Consider it a deal.”

“Thanks, Carson. You made my first one night stand an enjoyable experience,” she says, smiling at me once more as she reaches for the door handle. She gives me one last lingering stare before pulling the door open. “Enjoy the rest of your night.”

I watch her as she disappears through the doorway, leaving me alone in the office without another word. I’d enjoy the rest of my night a little more if I got to spend it still buried inside of her, but goddamn, I cannot complain one bit about what just happened. I know virtually nothing about her and I can’t help but wish I knew more.

What a shame this was limited to a one night thing. We could have had a lot of fun.

Leaning back, my hands land on the desk and I feel the soft material beneath my palm. A smile dances across my lips as I lift it into the air and realize what I’m holding.

Her underwear.

A soft chuckle escapes me as I tuck them into my front pocket. At some point tonight, she’s going to notice they’re missing and they’ll be long gone by then.

I exit through the same door and push my way through the mass of people that hasn’t thinned at all until I finally make my way to the front of the building. The bouncers nod as I slip outside, walking to the curb as I pull out my phone to get an Uber. I secure a car and lift my gaze from my phone just as another vehicle pulls up a few feet away.

My heart pounds in my chest as I see Andi striding towards it. Just as she’s about to lower herself into the car, her gaze meets mine. Eyes locked, her lips lift into a smirk and we share a moment, the particles crackling between us through the cool night air.

I could walk over and try to get in the car with her, but I don’t. Tipping my chin, I nod at her once more, bidding her goodbye with her thong tucked in the front pocket of my pants. Andi’s gaze lingers once more before she lifts her hand to give me a small wave.

She gets into the car, pulling the door closed behind her, and there’s a pause before the vehicle begins to pull away from the curb, easing onto the street. She was only looking for a distraction and I was more than happy to give her exactly what she wanted. I’ve never been one to look for anything more than a hookup.

She was just a passing moment in time, but I know she’s one I’m not likely to forget.

CHAPTER ONE

CARSON

PRESENT

Skating over to the boards, my blades cut through the ice as I come to a half stop and hop up the step to make my way down the tunnel and into the locker room. My brother Caleb is hot on my heels, anger radiating from him, but he doesn’t speak a single word to me. I’m the reason we lost tonight. I got in Rowan’s way and he wasn’t able to see past me. My stick wasn't down on the ice and I couldn’t block the shot that moved right past me, tucking into the right side of the net.

We’re down to the wire right now. Playoffs are starting in two weeks. Even though we have a good position in the bracket going into it, we still can’t afford to lose any games. Losing means we don’t get points and if the other teams end up inching past us, we could potentially get bumped out.

The air in the locker room is a bit tense, but it begins to dissipate as some of the guys start to talk, their chattering filling the void in the room.

I pull off my jersey and toss it onto the bench before reaching down to untie my skates. Once down to my jock pants,I rise to my feet and survey my teammates in various stages of undress around the locker room. I pause on my brother Caleb, who is also our captain. His furrowed brow and clenched jaw while he removes his gear lets me know he’s lost in thought. I avoid his gaze, instead moving on to Lincoln Matthews and Nash Simmons, two of my closest friends who both play for the Archers.
