She was a freshman like me and I didn’t know her name, but I found myself staring at the back of her head in class. I had seen too much and it wasn’t like there was something wrong with him getting his freak on, but that I had been going out there to do the very same thing was what made me upset. Rocco thought that it was because I had seen him in such a state. It wasn’t that and I wasn’t a prude. Maybe it was really because she had gotten to him before I did.
I had seen enough in the minute or less that I had stood in the hallway. It may have only been a few seconds, but it was like time stood still for a moment. I will always remember the way his face changed when he saw me. Then he had come and I had run away, in a very literal sense.
The last couple of weeks I had been doing good to keep my distance from him. There was a haunting need in me that even after seeing him with another girl, it just wasn’t going away. I still wanted him and then his kiss, made me want him even more.
I walked with no real direction. I was supposed to be going to the beach, but now I was mindlessly walking with Rocco on my mind again. It was becoming like habit with him and I needed to get over it. He wasn’t mine and he never would be.
He was the type that wanted many women. I had seen more than a few in my time at the house with them. Carl was just as bad, but Rocco was the one that I cared about. The two men were not short on admirers and even though he showed interest, I didn’t want to be one of many. I wanted to be the one and I knew that it wasn’t a possibility with a guy like Rocco. He wasn’t a one-woman kind of man.
Pushing thoughts of him from my mind, I spent my day as I had planned to. It was a beautiful day and a guy that I had in one of my biology classes was there and I spent most of my day with Dustin. I didn’t like him in the same way as he liked me, but he was nice and kind. He was the kind of man that I had always looked for. He was safe, but now there was something lacking. There was something missing and I knew that it was because of Rocco that I couldn’t see him in that way. It was the kiss that had changed everything. I was sure of it.
When he asked me if I wanted to go get something to eat that evening, I told him that I did. A large smile spread across his face and it was hard to not see the charm in his eyes. Dustin was not just a nice man, but he was quite cute as well. He had the whole beach bum vibe, longer hair and a quick smile. All that was missing was a surfboard. His shirt had been off most of the day and though he wasn’t as buff as Rocco, he had long, lean muscles that sidetracked me.
“So did you want to go?”
“Yea, um let me just get changed. Do you want to meet me there?”
“No, I will just walk with you, if that’s okay.”
I nodded that it was, though I was not looking forward to the idea of it. I knew that one or both of my roommates would be home. If it was Carl it wouldn’t be that bad, but I didn’t want to think about if it was Rocco there too. What would he think if I brought another guy in? Shaking my head, I was sure that I was getting all worked up for nothing. Rocco wasn’t thinking about me and he certainly wasn’t worried about me doing anything with anyone else. The kiss had just happened. It meant nothing.
I kept telling myself that, trying to qualm my fears, but it didn’t help. I was nervous and it was obvious to him that I was. “You okay?”
I turned to him and just kind of shrugged. “I feel like I should warn you or apologize ahead of time about my roommates.”
“You have roommates?”
“Yeah two of them and they are kind of a mess sometimes, so there is no telling what we will be walking into.”
“I am sure it will be fine.”
“Yeah, of course.” I wasn’t so sure though. It wasn’t what I was going to walk into, but how one of them would react. Would he feel the same way I had felt when I had seen that women in between his legs? It was doubtful that he would feel anything at all. That is what I kept telling myself anyways.
But then we were there, not that long of a walk to keep me too worried. I saw Rocco’s truck out front when we turned down our road. I kind of groaned inwardly. I didn’t see Carl’s truck, so there was still the hope that he had left with his friend.
“So seriously Dustin, just don’t mind them if they are here.”
“That’s Rocco’s truck, isn’t it?”
I nodded, not catching the way he looked at me. “You live here with Rocco?”
“And Carl.” Pushing my key in the lock, I finally got the door open. Dustin was slow behind me and he suddenly looked more nervous than I did. It would have appeared that Rocco had a reputation with the guys on campus, as well as the girls.
I looked around for anyone to be there and I sighed a little when I didn’t hear or see anyone out in the common area. I just needed to get into my room for a minute to dress and then we could leave. I knew that I needed to get it done quickly and not take advantage of the reprieve.
“Why don’t you just wait here for a minute? I will be right back.”
He looked uncertain. “Okay, sure.”
Chapter 9
Rocco
“Who the hell are you?”
I walked out of my room because I could have sworn I heard someone talking and doors shutting, to find some surfer guy on my coach. He had his feet up on the table and when he saw who I was, he pulled them down quickly.
“Sorry man, I didn’t know anyone was here.”
I didn’t like that he wasn’t answering the question of what that hell he was doing there or who the hell he was. I was waiting for Nicole to come home and I didn’t want to have to deal with some guy.
“I am here with Nikki. She just went to go change.”
My head snapped back to him and I looked at his face to see if he was telling the truth. Had she really just brought someone to our house, like I had Julie? Was this her way of getting back at me? I wasn’t sure, but if it was, it had worked. I was tempted to strangle the guy in front of me so chilled and relaxed. “You guys together?”
“I hope so.”
That was all I needed to hear. “I think it is time for you to take a walk.”
He was confused, but as I moved towards the couch, he seemed to understand what I meant. “I am just waiting for her.”
“She is busy tonight, but I will let her know that you said goodbye.”
The guy knew he had no choice and he got up without too much of a fight about it. I would have fought harder if it was me in the position. But it wasn’t me. She had picked some free-thinking surfer instead. Watching him leave, I felt a slight touch of relief.
The door in the back of the hallway opened and I braced myself. She was not going to be happy that I sent her little friend away, but I wasn’t going to make the same mistake that she had. I wasn’t just going to let it go.
“Hey Rocco. Where is Dustin?”
“He had to leave.”
“Really? Well that is strange. Did he say why?”
“I told him to.”
Her eyes finally met mine and I could tell she wasn’t happy about it. “What? Why would you do that? You can’t just send my company away! And you wonder why I am moving out.”
She tried to push passed me, but it was time that we settled what was between us. It was obvious that she cared for me. It was all in her kiss and as I pulled her to me and kissed her again, she didn’t fight me as much as I had thought she would. Instead, she moaned and melted against me as she had before. I didn’t let her go until I was sure that she had no more fire in her and she wasn’t going to tell me no anymore.
“You are not going anywhere Nicole. You belong here, with me.”
“Rocco. I know that you are just saying this to get in my pants. I am not going to fall for it. I know what guys like you are looking for. You are looking for girls to boff you off in the middle of the day on a couch. That’s just not who I am.”
She was so stubborn. I wondered then if she knew how damn stubborn she was. Nicole was a smart girl, but there was a wall a mile high and I was sick of climb
ing it. I decided that just tearing it down was the only way to do it and the only way to achieve such a feat was to keep touching her and kissing her until she couldn’t argue with me anymore.
“I don’t want those kinds of girls, I just want you Nicole. How can you not know that by now?”
“You didn’t seem that way the other day.”
“It was weeks ago and I have already told you I was sorry. She just started to and I couldn’t say no.”
It wasn’t the right thing to say. She looked at me with disgust. Having enough with the charade, I yanked her to me from a grip on her shirt and closed my eyes to the sound of her whimper. She could talk all she wanted, but there was nothing between us then. I knew how she felt and I knew that I just had to make her feel the same way that I did.
I moved her into the open door she had just come out of and then pushed her onto the bed. She was no longer resisting me, as long as my hands and mouth stayed on her. Taking off her clothes slowly, Nicole was soon underneath me and I was the one shivering from the view. Her eyes were heavy and she looked at me from tiny slits of pleasure. My mouth and hands readied her until she was no longer trying to find reasons why we shouldn’t. Instead she was pulling me to her from a tight grip on my scalp.
The sound of my name on her lips as she came in my mouth was magical. So was the taste and by the time I had pulled away and pulled my own clothes off, I was panting with need. She looked so perfect beneath me, her soft curves inviting as her legs opened for me. She was ready and when I pushed up against her, it didn’t take any pressure at all to slide in slowly. I stopped when I hit bottom and I heard the quick gasp from her lips. She just barely could take me and there was still another inch I wanted to grind into her. I wanted to be completely buried and when I tried again, I was able to go even deeper.
Her hands went against my chest and I tried to temper my response. I kept having to remind myself that she was a good girl and I had to be gentle with her. But when she scraped her nails against my back, begging me to pound her harder, all bets were off.
“Yes, yes, oh yes Rocco, fuck me harder!”
I couldn’t believe what was coming out of her mouth. It was against everything I had thought of her and I had discovered the freak inside of her that I had liked to think was there. It was and it was magnificent. My own senses were barely holding on and as she came around me again, there was nothing I could do but follow. Slamming in deep, I pressed in as hard as I could, emptying inside of her with a loud shout. It was the closest I had ever felt to perfection.
I pulled away because I didn’t want to hurt her with my weight. It pulled me out of her as I lay down next to her, trying to catch my breath.
“I guess that is what I should have done with the other girl huh?”
Looking at her surprised, she was grinning back and I knew that she wasn’t upset. I had lost myself in the moment, but I couldn’t help but smile. She was back and I had missed her.
“You should have. I am sure that you would do a far better job.”
“Yeah, I would have. Too bad you don’t date women. I figure I only had one shot with you before you lost interest, so I guess we will never know.”
Turning her head with a hand on her chin. “You can’t really think that.”
“Why not? It’s true.”
“You have to know that you mean more to me than that. I will never get sick of you or want someone else Nicole. I told you before, it’s you I want.”
“I hope so, because I think I have fallen for you.”

A Down And Dirty Hockey Sports Romance

Chapter 1
“Rick, I was hoping that you would come over tonight.” Andrea played with the front of his uniform, her fingers teasing softly on his chest.
“I can’t. I got work to do and then some homework.”
She made a sound that showed that she wasn’t so happy with that. Rick pushed her away, ignoring the look of hurt. He had better things to do that night. The team had planned a raid on their rivals the Stapleton Lincolns. Andrea would just get in the way and she didn’t have much sense from what he could tell. She was one of those girls that he had tried one night when he was drunk and now he couldn’t get rid of her. Andrea was everywhere that he was and it was starting to aggravate him.
“Just go Andrea. Maybe I will see you later.”
He grimaced at the look of hope in her face. It was not going to be able to get rid of her and he was already regretting the few moments they had spent together behind the bleachers. It didn’t make sense to him, but it was a normal reaction to him after he slept with a woman. Rick was convinced that too many men weren’t worried about their pleasure and if you made them come, they were hard to shake off.
“Okay Rick. Good luck.”
He nodded his head, but didn’t turn around to give her the kiss that she was waiting for. She was trying to claim him and he was not the type of man to be claimed. It was his senior year in college and he didn’t have much longer until he was drafted by the NHL. There was a lot of hype around him getting out of school soon and Rick hoped that it all lead up to it. There was nothing that he wanted to do more than play professionally. Girls like Andrea were a dime a dozen now and getting into professional hockey would only make more of girls like her appear.
That part of it he was through with and he started to walk off from her. She was always there and the man just needed some space. Meeting up with some of the team, he got in Kyle’s jeep and set out towards the town next to them. Stapleton was right next to Clover and all through high school the two teams were fierce rivals. College was no different with both small towns having their own community college, as well as their own hockey teams. It didn’t matter that it was such a small town and small school, Rick had managed to make himself known in the small world that he lived in. Everyone there loved hockey and Rick was practically a God in his little bubble.
Then he was noticed in the bigger world and soon there was people coming to visit him from all over the country, trying to recruit him for the team. There were several offers that he was finding it hard to go against, but they were so far away from his home, he wasn’t sure if he was ready to just pick everything up and move. It wasn’t just moving, but leaving everything that he had ever known was a hard concept to wrap his brain around.
So with the team feeling a little nostalgic, they all took off towards Stapleton. It was only a few minutes for them to get there and even though it was late at night, there were still people out and about. The men had argued about what to do. Most just wanted to go smash some windows and do some property damage to the school’s gym and locker rooms. Rick was smarter, but his plan consisted of taking their mascot, as well as all of their gear. He figured if they couldn’t play, that would be punishment enough.
It was hard trying to keep the other guys from getting in trouble. Cal was there to help keep the younger freshman in line, so that they all didn’t wind up in jail. If that happened, none of them would be able to play the game and the last thing anyone wanted was a forfeit.
The men all tried to be quiet, though they were as successful as a gaggle of girls talking about boys. Cal and Rick tried to quiet them a couple of times before they got to the rear entrance where the gym was. He just wanted to go in and take the suits, burn them maybe, but nothing more than that. “Come on guys. Rico, where is the key?”
The dark-skinned man came forward and slid the card in between the locks. It still amazed Rick how easy he made it all look. For him it was impossible and Rick would have resorted to smashing the glass in. But in seconds the door was open and they were in.
The walls were lined with arts projects and a mural that many students had signed. It was deathly quiet and their sneakers screeched on the hard, buffed floor. Rick’s heart was pounding in his chest and there was nothing he could do to quiet the team. They were like a small mob and soon destruction was at the height of their priorities. Ric
k cursed at a couple that had taken to ripping the paper off the hallways.
“Quit it. We are here for the team’s stuff, not destroying the school.”
Brandon didn’t agree. “If we only go for the team’s gear, they are going to know it was us. We should cause a little chaos to pull their minds away from it being us.”
He thought it made sense and it did to Rick a little, but at the same time, he didn’t like the idea of letting them have at it. “Fine, but nothing too bad. We need to get in and out of here pretty quickly, so a little damage to the classrooms.”
Rick was the ring leader much as he was on the ice. He was the most violent and he was the one that was always in trouble. It gave him respect with the rest and they pretty much did as he said. With the green light from him, the sound of glass breaking and paper ripping filled the narrow hallway once more. It was going to happen, he told himself, whether he tried to stop it or not. Stapleton deserved it for killing their mascot a month before. The animosity was livid on both sides and Rick knew that he wouldn’t regret the decision to get their revenge.
It was a bonding time for the team, something they would talk about when they were older and still reliving the glory days. Rick just didn’t want it to turn into something more, like another warning on his permanent record.
When he heard the alarm sound, everyone looked to the tall freshman that had tried to break into the principal’s office. It would seem that at least one of the rooms on that wing of the school was protected. Rick cursed again and he had a moment of indecision.
