Melting Away The Ice (THE ICE SERIES) (13 page)

“Lucas you could never hurt me like this
.” I pointed at my stomach. “Please let’s not ruin our moment with my bad memories.” I put on my best seductive smile and unsnapped my bra. In one swift movement, he was standing up and I was wrapped around him.

“
We will talk about this, but right now, which way to the bedroom?” His eyes were filled with desire again.

“Down the hall, to the right
.” I grinned.

Chapter
20 – Lucas

I carried her to the bedroom. Even though I wanted to push the issue about the scars, I could see in her eyes that it was something that she didn’t want to talk about. However, that was something that I wouldn’t forget.

I laid her on the bed and kissed her
, running my hands up her thighs until I reached the buttons on her pants. I couldn’t catch my breath as I undid them. Her eyes were filled with desire and she was all I could think about. I was never nervous with a girl before, but I wanted everything to be perfect for her. Sara slightly moaned as I slid her pants down. She grabbed my belt, biting her lip as she undid mine and pulled the zipper down.

Yep, this is how I am going to die.

That was my last coherent thought; we both were lighting fast to undress each other. We stared at each other naked; I was already panting to the point that I was about to hyperventilate. I had never seen anyone so beautiful. She had an amazing body, filled out in the right places. Sara finally made the first move, and began to stroke me.

I am not going to last long if she keeps this up.

A groan escaped my throat. Her confident, precise strokes were killing me in a good way.

“Sara,” I croaked out.

“Lucas,” she breathed back.

I traced her breast with my fingers and slightly pinched her nipple.
She hissed through her teeth.

God
, I love that sound.

I lightly touched her as I made my way down her stomach. Her body was
so soft. I could feel the heat coming off of her as I placed two fingers inside her. My thumb quickly began working on her clit. I thought I would explode right there when Sara arched her back and moaned out loud.

Man, she is the most beautiful woman.

I could feel her tighten around my fingers already, but I didn’t want to her to come just yet. I wanted to be in her when she did. I wanted to feel her on me. As I withdrew my fingers, I heard her whine softly, which made me smile.

“I
’m just getting a condom, beautiful.” I kissed her lips gently. The streetlights had illuminated the bedroom slightly. I could see her face had flushed, her eyes full of love, and desire. Her curly hair sprayed all over the pillow. I grabbed the condom from my discarded pants next to the bed on the floor. I quickly opened it and rolled it on, then turned back to Sara.

Yea I am not going to last long.

I eased back onto the bed in between Sara’s legs. I could feel my heart pounding so loud that it felt like it was in my ears.

“Lucas, please,” she begged.
Her voice was husky and sexy as hell. My body took over for my mind. I eased myself into her and released the breath that I hadn’t realized I had been holding. She was so wet and tight; I trembled at our perfect fit. She raised her hips against me, taking me deeper. Her nails dug into my back, but I didn’t care. All I knew was that I wanted more of her and I wanted her now.

“Lucas, harder
.”

T
hat was all it took for me. I pushed into her harder and faster. Her legs wrapped tighter around me, her nails dug into my back deeper, her hot breath against my lips. It wasn’t long before I could feel her getting tighter around me. Her moaning and panting became louder, like music to my ears. It was when she arched further back that I felt her explode around me.

Her body was trembling as I thrust into her a few more time
s. I could feel myself release; it was the greatest sensation because I was with her. Neither of us said anything as I remained on top and stared at her. After my breathing returned to normal, I rolled over onto my back. From the corner of my eyes, I saw Sara roll over on her side. I looked over to her and saw a wide smile on her face.

“I’m definitely going to be sore in the morning,” she giggled.

“Yea but it’s a good
kind of sore.” I smiled back at her.

“You are right about that, Captain Sharp
.” Her hair was a curly mess yet she was as stunning as I had ever seen.

I gave her a quick kiss as I got out of the bed and headed to the bathroom to clean up.
When I came back, Sara wasn’t there. I slipped on my boxer shorts and headed to find her. She was standing in the kitchen in a night shirt, holding a glass of water and staring out the window. She looked like she was in deep thought a million miles away.

“Hey beautiful, you
okay?” I asked her quietly but she still jumped. She looked back at me with the most amazing smile on her face.

“I am perfect.”

“Let’s go back to bed.” I reached for her hand. Together, hand in hand, we walked back to the bedroom and crawled into bed. I laid on my back and she snuggled into my side, to curl up next to me.

“May I ask you a question?” Sara
looked up at me and asked quietly.

“Of course.”

“Why haven’t you had a girlfriend for so long?”

I cleared my throat
, knowing my answer could make me sound like a huge dork. “Well, I have been so focused on hockey I haven’t really had the time for a girlfriend. Even in the off season, I have been so busy. I guess that is the best way to explain it.”

“I was just wondering.
You seem so perfect, in every way that some girl should have snatched you up by now.”

I laughed. “Nah, no girl has, yet.
Sure I have been with girls and had relationships but nothing serious,” I shrugged. “Okay, my turn. I know that you got out of a long relationship, was it serious?”

I could see that she was thinking about her answer.
She sounded sad when she said, “I thought it was, but in the end it was not. “

“Are you going to tell me about the scars?”
I wanted her to tell me so badly. I couldn’t imagine someone hurting her. My protective side just wanted to kill the person who did.

“Please, Lucas, not tonight. I don’t want anything to ruin tonight.”

“Sara, I am just concerned
-.”

S
he put her hand over my mouth.

“They don’t hurt and I don’t want to ruin the most perfect evening of my life. Please
.” I nodded and she removed her hand.

“You will have to tell me.
I won’t push the issues, promise, but you will have to let me in,” I gently rubbed my hand around her jaw. I noticed that those scars didn’t look as bad as those on her stomach.

“Thank you
.” She kissed my lips and then curled up to my side.

I
didn’t even realize we had fallen asleep until my phone alarm began to chime. I sat up to shut off the alarm, looking over to see Sara begin to stir. Her massive curly hair was everywhere, but she looked peaceful.

“I don’t want to move
.” Her sleepy voice was so sexy.

I laughed
. “Well, I don’t either.” I stroked her face with the back of my hand. I rolled out of the bed and headed to the bathroom. I hadn’t planned on staying all night and was a little unprepared. I washed my face and found Sara’s mouthwash, then looked in the mirror and realized I had a teenage grin on my face. I hadn’t felt this relaxed or happy in a long time, without being on the ice.

I walked out of the bathroom and Sara quickly ran in.
I laughed as I went into the bedroom to get dressed. I knew that I would have to get home soon and get ready for practice today. As I finished getting dressed, Sara walked out of the bathroom. She looked beautiful in her white nightgown. It wasn’t overly sexy, but was just sheer enough for me to feel a twitch in my pants. She walked right up to me and wrapped her arms around my middle.

“Hey beautiful,” I kissed the top of her head.

“I don’t want to go to work,” she said sadly.

“Well, for the first time in a very long time, I don’t want to either
.” She looked up to me with her pouty lips, and I couldn’t help but her.

“How about I text you after practice?”
My lips were still tingling from our kiss.

“Deal
.” She smiled up at me.

Coach D was hard on us during practice
, harder on me today because I was a little bit late. I had to go home, shower, change, and grab my gear this morning. I sat on my bench in front of the locker because my legs were burning. The whole team was exhausted but still chatting.

I got up, turned around and
took off my pads and my shirt when I heard Max exclaim, “Holy shit, Sharp!”

“What?” I turned back to him.

“You must have had some serious fun last night.”

“What are you talking about?”

“You have some serious claw marks on your back,” Marc chimed in.

“Oh yeah
.” I had forgotten about those. When I was in the shower this morning I felt them. They really didn’t hurt but they were sore. And well worth it.

“Must have been a
real
good time,” Marc cooed over at me.

“You better believe it was
.” I smirked back at him. It was then that Coach D walked in with a stern look on his face.

That man never smiles.

“Listen up,” he bellowed out, “because you have been doing so well and we don’t have any games this weekend, I am giving you a three-day weekend.” The whole team cheered at that. “
However,
” Coach continued, “Monday morning at eight AM you better be on that ice ready to work.” And then he stalked out.

I thought about it for a moment and I knew exactly what I wanted to do.
I quickly changed, said bye to the boys, and ran out to my car. I knew exactly who I needed to call.

“Sliver and Smith Law Office,” a young female voice answered the phone.

“Charity?” I asked.

“Yes
?” She sounded skeptical.

“Hey, it’s Lucas and I need a favor.”
