Fuck!

My eyes roll back and when she brushes against me, my dick jumps and twitches, trying to follow her as she disappears into the bathroom.

I clench my fists and inhale deeply through my nose to try and will my arousal to deflate. Not sure that’s going to happen anytime soon though. And when Felicity comes back into the room, looking sexy as fuck, I realize that there is no way I can climb under the covers with her without a barrier between us.

I kiss her on the forehead. “I’m going to have a quick shower and then we’ll sleep.” I trail kisses down her cheek and after placing a gentle kiss to her lips, I force myself to grab my bag and escape into the bathroom.

Out of sight doesn’t help with my arousal for her though, and as I enter the shower, I grab the shower gel and wrap my hand around my cock. I’m a horny ass around her, and just the thought of being between her thighs has precum running in steady streams from the slit. My eyes roll as I drop forward with an arm on the wall to hold myself up. The pleasure rapidly rises, and just the thought of Felicity’s mouth wrapped around my cock as she sucks me off is enough to have my balls bursting as my release streams out, hitting the wall of the shower.

My legs tremble, struggling to hold me up, but finally I’m able to catch my breath and quickly shower before yanking on a pair of clean briefs.

When I walk into the bedroom, Felicity is curled up in the middle of the bed, and as though she senses me watching her, her eyes open, followed by a soft smile. “That was quick.”

I laugh and climb into bed, tugging her into my arms. “I had an incentive.” I kiss the top of her head and refrain from admitting that I’d just jerked off to thoughts of her.

“I’m scared, Kasey,” she whispers into my chest. “I’m afraid of leaving this hotel room, and of what tomorrow will bring.”

Wrapping myself around her, I sigh when she snuggles deeply against my body, and the whisper of her breath tickles my throat. Holding her like this gives me the courage that I was lacking, and I admit, “No matter what tomorrow brings, I’m not going to be walking away from you. I know that what is happening between us is super fast and as scary as it feels, I want you with me, Felicity. You’re under my skin and I don’t ever want you out. I know we have to keep this between us for now because of your brother, but I don’t want you thinking that I’m going to walk at the first sign of trouble. All I need and want from you right now is your promise that you won’t either. That you won’t run again, no matter what happens. I really can’t take you doing that to me again, okay?” I kiss her forehead and let my lips hover.

Felicity tips her face up to mine and I notice tears swimming in her eyes. “You know that you’re the first person who I’ve ever felt such a connection with?” She pauses and gauging my response, continues, “That isn’t going to change overnight. I know I’m afraid of what’s going to happen, but that’s only because I know how my brother will react when he finds out. It all comes down to him really. It scares me that I live in Cleveland and you live here, and that the day after the shoot, I’ll be travelling back there with Blake…when all I want to do is stay here with you.”

Her words mean the world to me, and it’s on the tip of my tongue to tell her to stay here with me…to move in and make my apartment our home. I don’t though. Not yet because I don’t want to make her life more difficult than what I imagine it is right now. “We’ll make it work,” I reassure her. “We both want this relationship to work, so it will. Trust me.” I tuck her head beneath my chin, and say, “Sleep,” while I wonder what the hell my brothers, especially Diego, will say when they know that I’ve lost my heart to a beautiful nineteen year old.

Felicity

I’m standing in the corner of the room where they’ve set up for the photo shoot. My brother has finished for the day and is dressing in a room off to the side. For whatever reason, he’d ignored Kasey completely, although he did glare at one point. I really don’t know what his beef is with Kasey, but I do know it’s something to do with being on opposing teams. I hate it though and my heart sinks when I really think about it.

Right now, though, I’m getting pissed as one of the stylists smothers baby oil over Kasey’s back, chest, and arms. She’s taking her sweet time about it as well and the more I watch, the more upset I get. I really hate seeing another woman with her hands on him when it had been mine last night. When mine are the only ones allowed. I feel like going over to where they are and ripping her hands off him.

But as Kasey turns, frowning at the woman, he spots me and his frown deepens when he realizes I’m upset.

He shakes off the woman and heads toward me, but suddenly stops to glance around before he continues. “What’s wrong?” he asks, his hands reaching for me before he pulls them back. “I want to touch you, dammit.”

“I’m okay, really, but that woman won’t be if she puts her hands on you again,” I admit in a snarky tone

“It’s her job, and if it’s any consolation, I ignored her and concentrated on what the photographer was doing. I hate the publicity side of this business, because all I want to do is play. Having that woman rub me with oil wasn’t as pleasurable as you would imagine.” He smirks. “Although if it had been you rubbing me with oil, then everyone in the room would know exactly how you make me feel…perhaps we’ll try it sometime when we have a tad more privacy.” He wiggles his brows.

“I’m game as long as you reciprocate.” My grin widens.

Kasey’s eyes darken before he snaps them closed and breathes deeply through his nose. “I really”—he meets my gaze—“need to get control of myself when I’m around you in public before I become an embarrassment.”

I chuckle and blurt out, “I’ve decided that I’m not willing to sneak around behind my brother’s back. I’m having lunch with him and I’m going to tell him that I’ve met someone. I’m not going to mention you by name until I think he’s accepting of what I’m saying. You have to face each other on the ice soon and I don’t want him being an asshole to you on there.” Smiling at how wide his grin is, I add, “I will give him your name soon though.”

“If you need me call, okay?” he begs.

I nod.

“Good…I’m going to meet Andie for lunch. I have a feeling that she showed up here because she needs to talk. She’s fallen for someone who she thinks doesn’t see her, but I think he does see her and that’s why he avoids having much to do with her. It’s complicated though. I need to be there for her if that’s what she needs. Are you okay with that?”

“I’m not jealous of her, Kasey. I know she’s like family to you. Just don’t forget to call me.”

“Hell, no chance of that. You’ll probably be gone before I’m finished here, so I’ll message you tonight and we can arrange where to meet.” He quickly kisses me on my nose before walking away.

I miss him already and before I can do something stupid, like running over to him and throwing myself into his arms, I grab my jacket and purse from where I’d dropped them at my feet when I’d arrived, and go find my brother.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t take long because he’s walking out of the dressing room with his large bag in his hand. He smiles when he notices me and wraps an arm around my shoulders, kissing my cheek. “Let me drop my bag with the concierge to save going up to the room and then we’ll head out…You hungry?” he asks, distracted.
