Sucked Into Love Read online

  I lifted her into my arms and headed towards my bedroom. The master suite was on the first floor so we didn’t have far to go. I dropped her onto the edge of my bed and quickly followed her down. I pushed the cup of her bra down so I could reach one of her perfect nipples, pinching it between my thumb and forefinger and rolling it around until she was writhing beneath me. I lowered my head and sucked, pulling her nipple firmly into my mouth.

  “Andrew,” I heard Jocelyn gasp as her legs opened and allowed me to lie between them. I could feel her wet heat, and my hardened length twitched as a spot of pre-come dripped from the tip.

  I switched my attention to the other side, sucking until I felt the tip of her nipple against the roof of my mouth. She squirmed beneath me, and I felt her hands reach for the hem of my shirt to pull it off. Once it was removed, I unsnapped the button of her jeans and pulled down the zipper. Jocelyn lifted her hips off the bed so I could pull them off her body and toss them to the floor.

  She lay there, naked except for blue panties and a matching bra that had been pulled below her breasts. Her skin was flushed all over, a delicate, rosy-red hue tingeing it.

  “I need to taste you,” I growled as tore her panties down her legs before I pushed them apart. Rolling off the bed, I dropped on my knees on the floor in front of her.

  My fingertips drifted up her inner thighs until they grasped her firmly so I could hold her in place as I lazily drew circles on the tender skin at the crease of her thigh. I brushed my lips over her slit as I moved to the other side, teasing her by breathing hot air on her core. Her scent grew stronger as I tormented her with flicks of my tongue along her pussy lips.

  Jocelyn’s hips bucked against my hold as she begged. “Please, Andrew. Ohmigod, I need you to take me. Please.”

  Her hands fisted in my hair as she tried to pull my face closer. I nudged her leg higher before moving my hand so I could spread her open with my fingers. I pointed my tongue and flicked her clit, going gently at first until I heard her moan. Then I increased the pressure until she was writhing in need. I slipped my fingers through her wet folds and tapped her clit hard before delving lower to sink one inside her.

  “So fucking wet for me.” I forced the words past my lips before I licked them, savoring her taste. “Gonna make you come for me first with my mouth.”

  I added another finger and twirled them around, stretching her so she’d be ready for me when she took my cock. I used my other hand to spread her pussy lips and lightly pull her hood so her clit was exposed. Tugging it into my mouth, I gave a quick, little suck. Her walls clenched against my fingers, so I repeated the action before flicking my tongue over her clit while I sucked. Her hips surged up and she screamed out my name as she climaxed around my fingers.

  I pumped my fingers over and over, determined to make it last as long as I could for her. When she stopped shuddering and lay there gasping for air, I stood up and whipped my shirt over my head. Then I undid the button of my jeans and slid the zipper down, her eyes locked on my movements. I’d gone commando today, so when my jeans slid down my legs, my cock sprang free. It was standing at attention, so painfully erect that it bobbed against my abs above my belly button as I stepped towards the bed.

  I wrapped my arms around her back and moved her so she was resting in the middle of my bed. Popping the clasp of her bra, I drew it down her arms. Once it was removed, she wrapped her legs around my waist and I felt her wet heat against the head of my cock.

  “You’re mine now,” I growled as I sank into her in one long stroke.

  I had never felt anything like this before. Her wetness surrounded my cock as her pussy tightened around me. Her walls were clenched down so tight against me that I was almost afraid to move. So I held still, fighting for my control as she adjusted to my length.

  “You feel so good, Andrew,” she whispered huskily as she reached to pull my head down and kiss me.

  “Need to fuck you now,” I growled against her lips.

  Her pussy fluttered at my words before she arched her head back and bared her neck. I didn’t bother resisting the urge to sink my teeth into her flesh as I slid out. I released her skin when I plunged back inside. With the need to dominate her riding me hard, I couldn’t go slow and enjoy the moment. I set about a punishing pace of strokes that bottomed out each time, the tip of my cock bumping against her cervix.

  “So fucking wet and tight, sweetheart. I can’t last much longer,” I warned as I felt the telltale tingling begin at the base of my spine.

  She wrapped her arms and legs even tighter around me. “Just like that!” she gasped. “Oh God! I’m going to come again too.”

  “Fuck yeah, you are,” I urged her on as I put my hand between her legs and pinched her clit. Her pussy clenched around me and sent me over the edge as she screamed out her pleasure.

  “Two in one go,” she murmured in wonder after we’d both managed to regain our breath.

  “And I’m not done with you yet,” I promised.

  “I didn’t plan to spend the whole night,” she protested. “I need to go to work tomorrow.”

  “What time do you need to be there?” I asked as I dragged her body closer to mine so I could enjoy the feel of her tucked next to me. I wasn’t looking forward to letting her out of my bed anytime soon.

  “Around nine o’clock,” she replied.

  I quickly did the math in my head, knowing I needed to add some extra time for early morning traffic. Her dad’s house was normally about twenty-five minutes away from mine. The rink another twenty from there. Rush hour could easily double or triple the commute.

  “I’ll set the alarm for six. You can take a quick shower here while I make you breakfast,” I offered.

  “But I don’t have anything to wear home in the morning,” she argued.

  “Then I guess it’s a good thing you made me get you the medium shirt instead of a small,” I pointed out. I knew I almost had her convinced as a small smile crossed her face. “I’ll even let you sleep.”

  “You will, huh?” she teased.

  “A little,” I promised before I rolled back on top of her to ravish her again.

  I managed to keep my word. She got as many hours of sleep as she did orgasms, so I figured it was a fair trade.

  chapter 9

  Josie

  The next couple of months flew by faster than I’d expected. I found myself busy with my new job, looking for a new home, and building a new relationship. One that quickly developed a pattern. Andrew and I would spend almost every night of the week together, which resulted in my staying over at his place most of the time. After almost being late to work about a week into our relationship, I finally started meeting him at his place after work so I had my car and could head straight in from there.

  Dating Andrew opened doors I’d never imagined. He had access to the best clubs, events, and restaurants in town. If I even mentioned something that interested me in passing, he quickly made arrangements for us to do it. For a man who had never made a commitment to another woman, he seemed to have settled into dating me with ease.

  And the sex. Oh, God, the sex was indescribable. Once the seal had been broken between Andrew and me, neither of us held anything back. Sex with him was incredibly different from anything I had ever felt before. I’d never even imagined that I’d enjoy someone taking control of my body the way he did, but he was so ruthlessly devoted to making me climax as often as possible.

  He was quickly becoming such an important part of my life that I felt like I had to factor him into my selection of apartments. So I ditched the idea of finding something downtown and looked at suburbs near his. With my dad in Northbrook, the rink in Skokie, and Andrew in Evanston, I had several areas I could look at that were within my budget. It even made more sense than living downtown commute-wise, but it meant that I wouldn’t get as much time with Cee-Cee.

  I was scanning the Internet on my iPad at lunch when Alec sat down at my table. Training camp had picked up steam, and we’d b
oth been so busy when we were at the rink that we hadn’t really talked very much lately.

  “Hey, Jo,” he greeted me. “How’s my bro?”

  Jason walked up behind him and slapped him upside the head. “Always cracking jokes,” he said. “But seriously, I’ve heard a rumor you’re off the market and shacking up with Rourke’s brother of all people?”

  “We’re not shacking up,” I sputtered.

  “I don’t know. My mom said the last time she went over there that Andrew’s kitchen was stocked with all kinds of girly food he normally wouldn’t touch with a ten-foot pole,” Alec disagreed. “Yogurt, healthy cereal, green tea.”

  “And I’ve seen the pictures of the two of you in the papers,” Jason pointed out. “Lots of different places. Different days.”

  “Sounds pretty serious to me,” Alec said.

  I held my hands up in surrender. “I didn’t say we weren’t together. Just that we aren’t living together.”

  “Yet,” Jason teased. “Dude like that’s smart enough to lock you down tight if he knows what’s good for him.”

  “And one thing my brother’s always been is damn smart,” Alec agreed.

  “Enough out of you two,” I commanded before holding up my iPad so they could see the search on my screen. “If I were living with Andrew, then would I be apartment hunting right now?”

  “Where are you looking?” Jason asked.

  “And does my brother know you’re looking at apartments?” Alec wanted to know.

  “I’m sure I’ve mentioned it to him before,” I said. “But I don’t think it’s come up in conversation lately.”

  “You need to talk to him before you sign anything,” Alec advised.

  “I’ve only been dating him for a couple of months, Alec. He knows I’m living with my dad and I’m not happy to still be there even with as much time as I spend over at Andrew’s place. It’s not going to be a shocker to him if I find a place I want to rent,” I insisted.

  “That’s what you think,” he mumbled under his breath.

  “Hey, wasn’t there a place that just opened up in your building?” Jason asked.

  Alec looked at both of us like a deer in headlights as he shook his head no.

  “Is there?” I demanded.

  “I’m pretty sure you just mentioned it to me the other day, man,” Jason piped in helpfully.

  “Fuck my life,” Alec muttered. “Andrew’s going to fucking kill me if you move into my building.”

  “Why on Earth would he be angry?” I wondered aloud. “I think he’ll be relieved to know that you’re around if I ever need something and he’s not available.”

  “Sure, he’ll be cool with you living close to me,” Alec agreed. “But do you know who else lives in that building? Hockey players. Several of them from this team. All of them single. And firemen. Once again—single. And let’s not forget the cops. And no, before you even ask, I’ll just tell you they’re single too. I don’t think any of the guys who live in my building are married or even have serious girlfriends except Luka.”

  “So what you’re saying is if I take this apartment that will save me tons of time commuting to work, I’ll also be living in the safest building ever because I will be surrounded by professional athletes with whom I work, police, and firemen?” I quipped.

  “You could put it that way,” he agreed. “Or you could just say you’d be living with a bunch of horny guys and it’s going to drive my brother insane. And he’s going to blame me since I already live there, so I don’t even have plausible deniability here. I’m so fucking dead.”

  “I think you’re exaggerating his reaction,” I insisted. “Besides which, I haven’t even seen the place yet. What if I hate it?”

  “You’re not going to hate it,” Jason said. “Why do you think all the guys snap the places up when they’re available?”

  “Certainly not for the single women who live in the building,” I joked, earning me a glare from Alec. “C’mon. Give me the contact information for the rental office so I can go look today.”

  “Shit,” he grumbled before pulling out his cell phone and getting the information I needed. “You need to tell Andrew that I thought this was a bad idea.”

  “Absolutely,” I promised as I called to see if I could dash over there now since I didn’t have any appointments for the next two hours.

  The girl who answered the line was very friendly and agreed to let me come right over when I explained that I worked with several of the tenants. Apparently, based on her reaction when I admitted that my coworkers were all players for the Cavaliers, she was a fan.

  I couldn’t help but hope that her fascination with hockey players improved my odds for her to accept my application. Because, after the tour of the apartment, I definitely wanted the place. It was the perfect size for me, with one bedroom, a bathroom that had a Jacuzzi tub and a walk-in shower, and an open floor plan between the eat-in kitchen and living room. It was on the third floor, which was great for safety, and there were several elevators in the lobby, so I didn’t have to worry about using stairs all the time. Plus, they had a killer workout room in the club house and a nice outdoor pool that was open seasonally. It really did have everything I could possibly want.

  “I’ll take it,” I said impulsively, not wanting to lose out on the opportunity for the perfect place.

  The rental girl, Mandy she’d said her name was, flashed me a quick grin before she replied. “Well, I’ve had several people look at the unit today, but nobody has actually put a deposit down on it yet, so, technically, it’s still available.”

  I whipped my checkbook out of my bag. “First month’s and last month’s rent plus deposit?”

  “It would be pending your application and background check,” she warned as I wrote out the check.

  “No problem,” I assured her. “Just give me a call as soon as everything is in order and let me know when I can move in.”

  “It should only take a couple of days,” she promised. “You could probably move in this weekend if you wanted.”

  “I really appreciate that you dropped everything to let me see the place so quickly,” I thanked her.

  “Maybe you can let me know if you ever have spare tickets to a game,” she hinted.

  If that was the price of admission, then I was definitely willing to pay it. “Absolutely. I’m sure I’ll be able to get tickets for most of the games. Just let me know a couple of nights that work best for you once the season starts and I’ll make sure you get them.”

  Mandy thanked me profusely before I left the apartment.

  While waiting for the elevator, I couldn’t help but think it was odd that she’d had to ask me for tickets when so many of the guys lived here. Then again, sleeping with a puck bunny who was in charge of the place where you lived probably wasn’t the brightest idea, so maybe the guys tried to avoid her as much as possible.

  Oh well. It isn’t my problem to worry about, I thought as I stepped onto the elevator and punched the button for the ground floor.

  When the doors slid back open, I saw a couple of familiar faces.

  “Josie,” Luka greeted me. “What a nice surprise seeing you here.”

  Aubrey looked at me tentatively, and I guessed she was still a little uncomfortable in my presence. So I made sure to acknowledge her first.

  “Hi, Aubrey. It’s nice to see you. I was happy to hear that you and Luka had found a great place to settle into when you moved here.”

  It must have done the trick because she flashed me a smile. “We did,” she agreed. “And Jason mentioned that you got a job as a therapist for the Cavaliers.”

  “Yes. I’m so excited they were willing to give me a chance straight out of school,” I replied.

  “Well, they’re lucky to have you,” Luka said. “I for one can vouch for your abilities. I wouldn’t have made it through my senior year of hockey if you hadn’t helped me out.”

  “I was happy to be able to help,” I said, waving off his gr
atitude. “Speaking of help, Alec mentioned you’re the reason Jason’s skating with the team during training camp. It was pretty awesome of you to give him the opportunity. He’s doing pretty well, and if I had to guess, I’d say his odds are pretty good the team will offer him a spot on the roster.”

  “I’ll have to try to catch him on the ice one of these days,” Luka replied. “It would be good to see him and Alec skate together.”

  “I can get you two into one of the sessions if you’d like,” I offered.

  “Are they skating today?” Aubrey asked me.

  “Yeah. That’s part of why I was able to run over and check out an apartment really quickly. I’m not scheduled to work on any of the guys until the next skating session is over anyway,” I answered.

  “You should go,” Aubrey told Luka. “You might never get the chance again in the middle of the day like this once your schedule changes and you aren’t working Saturdays anymore.”

  “But I thought we were going to run errands together, moya printsessa?” Luka complained.

  I sighed deeply at how adorable they were together. The way Luka said his nickname for Aubrey with that hot-as-shit Russian accent was insanely attractive. If he weren’t so clearly in love with Aubrey and I weren’t already taken, I’d be sorely tempted by him even though he was a few years younger than I was. Remembering what Jason had said about Luka planning to pop the question, I quickly glanced down at Aubrey’s hand and was disappointed when I didn’t see a ring.

  “We’ll have plenty of time to run errands later,” Aubrey told him. “You’ve managed to get me to live in sin with you and now you’re stuck with me.”
