We took the elevator down to the lobby then stepped outside into the oppressive September heat. One last kiss then Addy turned left, heading along Iberville Street in the direction of Bourbon Street and whatever it was she did when I wasn't around. Work, maybe. Or maybe she was meeting friends to get an early start on the nightly festivities that never seemed to end. Wasn't my business, not really.
I watched her walk away, thought about calling her back to remind her of our plans for later then caught myself before doing something so terminally stupid. If we hooked up, we hooked up. No need to remind her. Addy was a one-night stand. An extended one, maybe, but still a one-night stand.
Sex.
Fun.
No commitments.
More sex.
It worked for us. Trying for anything beyond that would be a death sentence.
I turned right, toward the ramshackle garage I paid extra for each month to get my car. If luck was with me, traffic wouldn't be an issue and I could make it to the joke the owner of the New Orleans Bourdons called a practice arena without too much headache. I wasn't expecting luck to be with me, though. It hadn't been for the last eighteen months.
Why should now be any different?
ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Lisa B. Kamps is a USA Today Bestselling Author who writes steamy romance with real-life characters and relatable stories that evoke deep emotion. She likes her men hard, her bed soft, her coffee strong, her whiskey neat, and her wine chilled...and when it comes to sports, hockey is the only thing that matters!
Lisa currently lives in Maryland with her husband and two sons (who are mostly sorta-kinda out of the house), one very spoiled Border Collie, two cats with major attitude, several head of cattle, and entirely too many chickens to count. When she's not busy writing or chasing animals, she's cheering loudly for her favorite hockey team, the Washington Capitals--or going through withdrawal and waiting for October to roll back around!
