Sexy Hockey Player Hookup Part 2
Chapter 4 Olivia
I wake up with a dry tongue and find Jackson and I lay entwined together. I grimace at the bright light streaming in through his bedroom window. The view of the sun with an alcohol headache is never a desired outcome. I don't know if I should move or pretend to sleep and let him get up first.
Jackson stirs. I have no idea how I look after a late night of drinking. I'm running exit strategies in my head. Making a run for it would have been my number one pick a minute ago. I frown, the walk of shame is imminent. His roommates are probably all home. I'm hoping they are too fucked up to get out of bed. I have to figure a way out of here without being detected.
"Morning," a manly voice greets my ears. The same night I heard whispering sweet things in my ear before culminating in his intense orgasm.
"Hi," I find my cheeks growing hot from my wanton sexual demands last night. He must think I'm a sex fiend. I have to admit he was fucking incredible. He could rock that body and his cock. He exceeded my expectations on the dance floor, in bed, and he even liked the waffles and fried chicken. And, he is the hockey star who has made local and national headlines. He would also be leaving town soon; I reminded myself. And there it is, the reality that it's over. I didn't regret it. I smiled inwardly, knowing Mira is going to lose her shit when I tell her the details.
"Are you hungry?" he asks, slinging his long legs to the floor. I sneak a peek at his chiseled buttocks I would like to bounce a quarter off of it just to see if it was possible. I decide a hard slap on it would be deliciously fun. I subconsciously lick my lips. There was so much more I'd like to do to him and with him.
"Mostly thirsty," I sit up, licking lips.
He pulls on a pair of the tight boxer, briefs, "I'll be right back," he speaks. His deep sexy voice is not judging but soft and unnervingly sincere.
I watch him make his way to the door and take in his muscular torso and ripped biceps that still have scratches on them from last night. I wonder how fast he could send a puck.
He entered the room, his hair tousled, and a few wavy locks fell over his forehead, making him look hotter than a Calvin Cline underwear ad.
He hands me a sports drink. "This will hydrate you. You didn't drink that much last night," he commented.
"I'm such a lightweight; it's not even funny. I can get drunk off one martini, and I had two. I'm glad we ate. If I drink too much, it numbs me down there."
"There wasn't anything wrong with you 'down there' or anywhere last night," he compliments me. My cheeks have to be flushed. I'm embarrassed that he drew attention to my sexual anatomy. I know I shouldn't be, but he made it sound so intimate.
"I can't open the drink," I stated as I strain to open the lid that won't budge.
"Here," he takes the drink breaks the seal before handing it back to me.
"Thanks," I start chugging the orange-flavored drink.
"You might want to drink it slower," he suggests. "If you are dehydrated, it might not sit well at first," he offers his expertise.
"Thanks," I murmur and begin to sip slower. Orange is my favorite flavor. "I'm sure you're busy, so I'll leave in a few minutes."
"No problem. I'm not a monster, I won't bite," he teases me. I take one last look at his star-studded abs before he pulls a white T-shirt over his head.
I sigh. It's time to go. I crawl out of bed and begin scouring the floor for my clothes.
Underwear- check, bra- check.
"I found your boots and dress," he hands them to me with a sweet smile on his face.
I take the articles from him and give him a small smile. I put my bra on, and in a minute
I'm ready to go. Crap, I remember my car isn't here.
"Um, my car is still at the waffle place, can you give me a lift?"
"No, problem." He pulled a designer track outfit out of a drawer and slides on sneakers that were already tied.
We made our way through the kitchen, and he swiped his car keys off the countertop.
Just then, a man appeared at the other end of the kitchen.
Shit.
"Hey, Jackson," the blond greeted him.
"Hey, Wheels. I couldn't find you at the club last night."
"I had prettier things to look at than you," he razzed him.
"I hear ya, So did I," Jackson boasts.
If my face could turn red, it would have. I hoped Tyler, aka, Wheeler, didn't hear me screaming last night. I am freakishly loud when I orgasm. But I have olive-colored skin, and you'd be hard-pressed to see me flushed. Heatstroke would be the only reason my face would turn red.
I didn't take offense to the guys comparing the hotness of their one night stands. I knew guys always one-upping each other. Everything was a competition with them.
Tyler is checking me out, but not in that I want to jump you kind of way. I'm dreading how this is going to play out. I don't want him to think I'm a slut. I'm human, and I have needs.
"This is Olivia. Olivia, meet Tyler."
"Hi," I meet his chocolate eyes and nervously give him an open hand half-wave acknowledgment.
"Nice to meet you. Don't mind me, I'm just grabbing some waters," he opens the fridge, and as he turns to go, he throws, "Later, dude," over his shoulder and disappears.
"That wasn't too bad," Jackson's comments.
"Wheels? What is that, a nickname? And how many more guys live here?"
"Wheels is because he doesn't have a car, and we drive him everywhere. Wheels, because its ironic-he doesn't have any. It's a hockey thing. Usually, we just add a "y" to our last name. But some go by their first name or a nickname that just sticks.
My other roommate is Alan, our goalie."
"Does he have a nickname, too?"
"Shorty, he's too short to be a professional goalie because you need to be tall. I mean, he could make into the big leagues, it's just more of a stretch for him to touch both the posts with his legs out when compared to a 6'2' guy."
"So, let me get this straight. You make nicknames out of a player's weaknesses?" I wrinkle my eyebrows, trying to figure this out.
"That's half the fun of it. Usually, we just add a Y to the last name. A kid I played with in high school was good for one game, and then he'd get sick, puke, or otherwise be unable to finish more than one game in a tournament. We called him One Game
Fame. Once he got drunk, maybe the flu, sometimes he'd just leave or sleep through the game," he explained.
"Undependable is what you mean," I comment.
"It just depends. It can be a shorter version of your last name."
"Now, I'm intrigued. What's your name?"
"My last name is Ferrara, Italian. But, I'm called Speedy because of the way I drive and because
I'm fast with the puck, and I've always had sports cars, I guess."
"Speedy. Cute," and my pert little lips curve up to show my perfect smile. I'd have to find a way to use that on him.
We make it out of the house, and he opens the car door for me. Touched by his thoughtfulness, I thank him.
I sat in his sports car and clicked my seatbelt.
"You never said if you were hungry." Jackson is starring over at me. His sky blue eyes catch me off guard. His look is so intent I catch my breath. I'm getting excited, and I can't put my finger on what it is about him that has my panties in an uproar. Is it weird that I find myself turned on? How can I be so horny again after a night like that? I felt lucky to be able to walk without my girlie parts hurting. He wasn't what I called an average size guy. He was pretty big, and I was petite.
"I don't want to hold you up. I'm sure you have better things to do today." I know my responses are lame. I just didn't know where I stood with him. He was sending me conflicting signals. We agree to hookup. I wasn't sure what breakfast afterward meant.
"I don't have practice until later. I'm hungry. Maybe we can do the waffles and chicken thing again."
I can tell he's not ready to let me leave. "I guess I have time for some food. I might eat an omelet instead. I could use a good cup of coffee right now. I rummage my hand in my little black purse from last night, "And maybe aspirin might be a good idea." I needed to do a preemptive strike on this headache.
"Damn, I really can't drink worth a shit," I murmur.
"If you don't have any aspirin on you, we can always stop at a convenience store and pick some up," he suggested.
"I think I have some in here," as I pull a small bottle out of my purse.
"I found it," I say with relief. The last thing I wanted was to have a raging of a headache during breakfast with the new hunk.
"The key to drinking is conditioning. It's just like anything else. And I should know."
"I never hung out with any hockey players, so I don't know what your life is like, I don't know you. I have a feeling you guys have plenty of girls hanging out around you all the time."
