Author's Notes:
1) This is the second story I've written. I'm hoping you'll appreciate the seduction/teasing/exhibitionist moments in the beginning and middle. This story does have a "big finish" if you wait for it. Please rate the story and provide feedback, positive or negative, in the comments so I can improve my writing.
2) The hockey game that is the setting for this fantasy is at an outdoor Ball Hockey "rink", played in the early Fall. Ball Hockey is not played on ice, so we're free to play outdoors in moderate weather. This particular rink/court has a rubber-coated chain link fence along the top of the boards, so spectators can stand right up next to where the action is. (I tried to keep the sports talk to bare minimum necessary to keep the story moving.)

===========================
After a year (one WHOLE year) of not playing hockey due to the global pandemic, I'm finally going to get back out on the rink. It's almost all I've been able to think about since getting vaccinated. When I say almost I mean except for Alice.
Alice my muse. How can I best describe her?
For one thing, she is gorgeous. She stands 5' 4" barefoot. At 47 she has all of her curves in all of the right places, and she knows how to dress to accentuate, if not flaunt, her figure. If pressed, I'd say her most attractive feature is her mind though; Smart, quick, and witty. Able to talk about any one of many interesting topics...
OK, I lied. Alice is a great conversationalist; fun to be around; and cuttingly witty. However, I must admit that her most striking feature is her eyes. Normally a grayish blue, they turn green when she's excited about something. That's how you can tell when she's genuinely invested in a conversation. I've noticed that mischievous green when our friendly flirtations sometimes stray into more dangerous territory.
Once, her eyes were shining like emeralds as she described how she'll sometimes indulge her exhibitionist side. Teasing a man (or the occasional interested woman) with glimpses of her lacy undergarments, or a brief view down her blouse at her spectacular breasts. She described how her nipples harden with excitement at the mere thought of an "accidental" exposure. Of course, this makes the eventual exposure even more thrilling for the privileged voyeur...
Where was I? Oh, yes, my upcoming return to playing recreational ball hockey with a group of men desperately holding onto our receding athleticism against the encroachment of middle-age. First game back, after a year without playing. Alice lives out of state, wouldn't be able to attend (nor would I expect her to spend an hour watching amateur athletes play an unconventional sport). However, she did promise me a special surprise if I played well.
Opening day of the new season is perfect. It's early in the Fall, so the temperature is between 65-70F as the sun recedes in the sky.
In between rounds of warmup shots (yeah, I'm a goalie), I look around the familiar surroundings. The rink is situated in a relatively secluded lot well back from the main road. The benches are off to my right. To my left there is one small set of stands with five rows of benches rising off the ground. The crowd is sparse as most people not playing are enjoying the dinner hour elsewhere on this beautiful fall weekend evening.
Toward the end of warmups, I glance over at the stands and I see someone new has arrived. She's looking away from the court, so I can't see her face. Still, I can't help but notice she has a vaguely familiar figure. Even her hair is just like Alice's. It has the same amount of curl, and the traces of auburn are highlighted by the setting sun. I think "if only" before turning my mind back to the start of the game.
I get comfortable in my crease; tap both goal posts to set my position, and focus. About a minute or so in the opposing team has their first scoring opportunity. Their fastest player chases the ball into our zone, and he makes a nice pass to a trailing teammate. Fortunately, I read the pass correctly, and get myself in position to intercept the ensuing shot. I cover the ball, "freezing" it, and get ready for the next face off, to the left of my net.
As I turn to get set, I steal a quick look at the stands. She's here. Alice is here, and she looks stunning.
She's wearing a lovely summer dress. The dress is made of light material, and I can just make out the shape of her legs through the gauzy fabric as the sun sets behind her. She's wearing a light bolero sweater, which protects her sides and arms from the light breeze but does nothing to hide the view I have of the front of her dress. It's snug around the bust, with a respectable amount of cleavage showing. I suspect that if she leans forward the cleavage may no longer be respectable. Alice has her feet resting on the bench in front of her. She appears to be wearing wedge heels, quite high ones at that.
I look up at her face. Her cheeks are covered with an adorable smattering of freckles. She's smiling with both her mouth and her eyes. Oh, those eyes of hers. Stunning is the right word to describe her because I am, indeed, stunned. So stunned, in fact that I miss the referee dropping the ball to restart play. It's only by sheer dumb luck that I'm able to recover in time to clumsily block what should have been an easy save. My team recovers the ball and the play heads back to the other end of the court.
I steal a quick glance in her direction to make sure I wasn't imagining things, then do my best to retain my focus before the play can come back my way. Toward the end of the first period, there's a short break in play as the ball goes sailing over the fencing, and a new ball must be tossed in. I take the opportunity to raise my helmet as I look to make sure Alice knows I've noticed her. Once again I'm struck. When I looked before she was sitting demurely with her hands on her knees, quite prim and proper. By now, she's relaxed a little. Her right foot has moved off the bench to settle on the step closer to her body, Her left foot remained on the bench. This wouldn't be an issue if her dress had not also somehow been raised up to just above her knees. When she notices me looking, then makes eye contact while subtly raising the hem of her dress a little higher and simultaneously opening her knees just a little further. A wink lets me know she knows exactly what she's doing.
Somehow, I tear my eyes away and focus on the game sufficiently to make it to the end of the first period without incident. I collect my water bottle and towel from the top of the net and start to walk over toward the stands for a quick hello, but I'm surprised to see she is no longer there. I turn back to the court, and begin the trek to the other end, as the teams switch sides between periods.
As I reach mid-court, I notice Alice walking along the fence line a little ahead of me. By the time I reach the net, she's taken up a position behind the fence directly behind the net. She motions that I should come closer, then lower her hands to hold the inside edges of her bolero sweater. As I approach, she moves her hands to the sides, while still holding the sweater.
With the top button fastened, moving her hands pulls the sweater away from her chest. It's then I realize that on her walk to this end of the court, she took the opportunity to tug down the neck of her dress. Rather than showing me the top of her dress, she is now flashing her bare breasts at me. Her pink areolae topped by impossibly hard nipples. Just as quickly as they appeared, they are hidden away as she brings her hands back down.
The look on my face must have been priceless because she broke into a knowing grin before asking me if I was enjoying my surprise. "Of course," I managed to stammer before asking, "How did you get here? How did you find this place?"
"After weeks of online chatting, and wishing we could meet face to face, is that all you have to say?" she asks.
"No, I, I'm thrilled! I just don't deal with surprises well when I'm playing."
"If I'm distracting you, I suppose I could call a taxi to pick me up." she says with a slight grin on her face already knowing my response.
"Don't you dare!" I say pleadingly. "I'll be able to thank you properly once the game is done. Please, don't go anywhere!"
"I'm only teasing you," Alice says. Then after a quick glance over my shoulder to make sure no one can see what she's doing, she uses her left hand to raise one side of the sweater while reaching over with her right hand to take her nipple between her thumb and forefinger. "Can't you tell...oh!...that I'm only teasing?"
It's then that I hear the whistle blow alerting us to the start of the second period.
I reluctantly (which might be the mother of all understatements) turn away from the entrancing sight of Alice rolling and pinching her nipple just for me to see. I want nothing more than to run off the court, throw her over my shoulder, and run to the nearest secluded area. However, duty to one's team must come first in these situations. It's not like they could just find another goalie on a moment's notice.
