Cody Atlas and the guys are already in the changing room when I enter. “Hey why are you late?” Atlas shouts out and throws his grey tee at me. I catch it with my right hand. “What are you talking about? Dumbass, it’s not even call time.” He grins, it’s goofy at least he is in good spirits. I’ve not even properly covered with Immi how we’re going to approach this. Will we tell him together? Or should I tell him since I’m his bestie and not only that, shouldn’t I really be asking him and his old man permission? Hell, we’re not getting married why am I making such a big deal out of this? Because I know if the shoe were on the other foot, I’d be really pissed at my best mate if he was dating my kid sister and hadn’t bothered to tell me. I need to let him know, it’s the decent thing to do. Only not right now, since he’s clearly in a good mood. I’m betting he and Fallon had make-up sex yesterday and all is resolved around the Thanksgiving holidays. “I want everyone on the ice in five.” C
Imogen Right, I am ready. Jeans and Cody’s jersey. It is a bit too big, but I want to feel close to him and smell his fragrance all over me today. If I could have gotten away with it, I wouldn’t have even bothered showering. Okay so what? I miss him already, I can’t get enough of that hot body, his quirky smile, that dimple and those electric eyes that make me melt. My hair is in a high ponytail, and I’ve donned an old NYC baseball cap and laced my hair through the adjustment band at the back. My rucksack is by the front door with my purse in it, so I slide my mobile in my back pocket, slip into my Vans and I’m ready to head out the door. I’m thinking to do the food shopping later, I’ve got a few recipes on the back burner in my head, and I also know he’ll need something substantial since he will have been at practice since seven-thirty and not in until around six tonight. Also, I want to look good for our first meal in together that doesn’t involve one or the other snapping at eac
Cody We’re both in coach’s office, the bald hair guy looks to be scrolling through his mobile as we enter. “Take a seat you two.” Coach says and laces his fingers through his hands and rests them on the table in front of him. His office is fairly small, just a desk and a couple of chairs in front of it and two behind. He’s got some prints on the wall of top Minnesota hockey players over the years and it’s great to see that Atlas and I are featured on his wall of fame. That gives me a sense of pride. The office itself is pretty stark, simply painted white and his desk only hosts a laptop and screen, no personal pictures or anything. Unlike my office back home which okay, I admit I rarely use but it has got family pictures on my desk and some of Atlas and I over the years, not just hockey pictures but some of us fishing, trekking, nights out. “You’re probably both wondering why you’ve been called in today.” Yes, we are, and I am wishing he’d get to the point because I’m not great wit
Cody“This is just shit, right?” I say as Atlas, and I walk down the linoleum corridor to the door at the far end that leads to our locker room. I can hear the guys joking and fooling around. Shit, I’m going to miss them. My heart feels sad. Yeah, I do have a heart in case you were wondering and right now, it’s not in the best of places.Last night with Immi wasn’t just a fuck, I felt something for her, she has gotten to me. The way she looks, her grace, her feistiness, not to mention how we felt together. She made my heart swell and seeing her this morning fast asleep in my bed, I’ve never seen a woman so peaceful and beautiful. I don’t want to be taken away from her in a few months’ time.“Rough to leave the guys that’s for sure, but it’s an awesome deal we’d be stupid to refuse it. You know in this game anything can happen, we could sustain an injury and be off the ice for good.”“I know, but still. Texas. It’s not exactly the next state, is it?”“Hey, lighten up. Guys would kill t
Cody I feel numb at the thought of having to leave Minnesota, don’t misunderstand me playing for the Dallas Stars is a huge thing of course it is, but you know what it’s like. Home is home and I’ve always been a home boy, small town mind probably, but hell I love it here. My folks sure are going to be miss me and Atlas’ him too. Although with the amount of travel we do, I’m sure they’ll handle it well. But Immi. What about Immi? I’ve only just found her if you know what I mean, okay so she was never lost but you get my drift. We’re starting something I know we ar. Things have changed between us and I like it. That, I definitely don’t want to change or end. I know it’s early days but there’s no denying that being around her, hell even thinking of her makes my heart do crazy shit. I’m home now and get out of my Rolls and head for the door. The lights are on low inside and from outside it sure looks all cosy and welcoming. I am looking forward to Thanksgiving and Christmas when it’ll b
ImogenEven though I am dying to be ravaged by Cody I am not going to give into my body, well not just yet. I prepped an amazing dinner from some online recipes I found from the Ritz Carlton, and I am damned if I am going to let it all go to waste. Even though it’d keep, besides sexual tension and suspense is second to none, right. The air is thick with our desire for each other.As I serve Cody his starter, he slaps my ass. “Hey.” I say and giggle, I love his hand on my ass, it sends a divine shiver up and down my spine. “Hands to yourself, Brannigan.”“I can’t help it; your ass was just there. Besides, with a mighty fine butt like yours it’s pretty damn hard not to touch it. So peachy, baby.” He licks his lips and smiles that quirky smile with his cute dimple being exposed. It takes a lot for me not to say fuck it and sit down in his lap and start derailing him with my mouth. Oo, the thought of it is making me wet, I bet when he sticks a finger or two inside me, I’ll be ready to soa
CodyDamn she is so beautiful as she lays in my arms, her head in the crook of my arm wrapped round her. The way her hair falls across her face and the radiance of her perfect skin. Her lips are upturned like she’s having some kind of happy dream. She is perfection there’s no way else to describe my darlin’.Immi has one arm strewn across my waist and a leg thrown over mine, it’s kind of difficult to move right now but I need to get up. Practice will start early today since we’re flying out to Dallas tonight. I still need to let her know that Atlas and I are being drafted to the Stars. If it slips out on the flight later, she’s going to be pissed that I had all of last night to tell her about it.Damn it, this has come at such a bad time. Immi and I have only just started on our journey together and I want this more than anything else right now. I love the way she is so soft and gentle snuggled into me, her chest raising and falling softly as she breathes and makes cute noises in her
Imogen My lower area aches from all the activity last night and the other night, but it’s that kind of delightful pleasurable ache that lets you know you have royally been seen to and then some. It makes me smile as I lazily stretch my arms over my head. Even though it is nearing fall, and the mornings are becoming cooler, the sun is still streaming through the windows and the back sliding doors. I kick my legs from under the duvet and head to them, slide them open and take in the majestic sight of the lake as the morning sun bounces off it, casting delightful diamonds upon it. This place is stunning, and I wish I could have something like this to call my home. But when Cody said your house is my house that definitely sent a tingle down my spine. Is he serious? Are we like, you know an item right now? I need to pinch myself. Do you have any idea what it’s like to have crushed on someone for so many years, been hurt because they were such a jerk only to find out, that actually they f
