“I did at first. I was so eager to fit in then and be a part of his world, but I learned that I wasn’t like the other girls. I am here to study and get a degree, not party every night of the week. He feels like shit most of the time and you boys are lucky that you’re on the team and get to squeak by the way that you do.” Amy chided him as Colton shook his head. “Oh come on. I have heard all about you, and I saw you at the bar then. Girls all over you and it seems that nothing has changed.”
“I still study.” Colton stood up for himself as he kissed her again and they slowly moved so she was on her back and his body was pressing against hers as they moaned and breathed deeply together. Things started to move faster as he lifted her shirt and tossed it to the floor before she unhooked her pale pink bra to free herself as he stared down at her. “Gorgeous.” He kissed her swollen lips again and moved his mouth down to her neck to kiss down the softly scented skin as she whimpered softly. “I couldn’t stop staring at you in that shirt the night in your room,” Colton admitted in a whisper as he thumbed her nipples with his hands gently. He lowered his mouth to suck one between his lips as she arched her back and slid her legs between his. Amy wrapped one around his thigh and pulled him closer as he groaned into her mouth.
They stopped before they had sex but Colton was so ready to. He chose to slip his hand down her unbuttoned pants instead and finger her to a rough orgasm that rocked her whole body before he pulled out his fingers to taste her sweet honey. She was tight, and he could bury himself so far inside of her when he finally took her. “That was amazing.” Amy breathed as she relaxed against his pillows and took a deep breath.
“I agree,” Colton replied as something filled him that he had never felt. He glanced at the clock and her eyes followed.
“Oh, shit. It’s after one,” Amy said as she widened her eyes. “I have class at seven.”
“You should get some sleep then,” Colton softly murmured before he kissed her lightly. “Want me to walk you?”
“So sweet but probably a bad idea at this time of night.” Amy reluctantly told him as she stared into his eyes. They both got up clumsily and kissed for a few moments before she walked towards the door.
“I think we should keep this here,” Colton told her as she gave him a wide-eyed gaze before she reached it.
“There’s an us?”
“I know I am acting stupid, but I need more of you, Amy,” Colton told her as she lifted her lips to his for another kiss. He shoved a piece of paper into her hand that he’d scrawled his number on and told her to put it in his phone as a girlfriend. They could use that to figure out when they could get together she peeked out of the hole in the door to make sure the coast was clear before she hurried to her room.
Colton realized that his bed still smelled like her when he went to lay down again, and he closed his eyes. It was a good thing that he and Trey weren’t so close that his goalie was ever in this room. He had to know her scent well, and Colton took a deep breath as he felt sleep taking over.
In the morning, he rose early and went to get some coffee from the machine with a spring in his step. Colton shook his head as he headed back to his room to get ready for some late morning classes while he drank it. He hadn’t gotten a lot of sleep but what there had been was rich with dreams of Amy coming over and over in his mind as he just let the dream play in a loop in his mind. His phone was chiming when he came back, and he noticed a new number with a text message that told him good morning with a kiss. He saved Amy as Bree in his phone and erased the message before deleting it. He changed into some worn jeans and a bright green t-shirt with some Chucks to head over to his Comp class.
Colton was majoring in Communication just in case Hockey fell through but he felt pretty confident about that future. He couldn’t wait to talk to Amy more and learn about her major, her thoughts and her dreams. Colton stopped walking and glanced around to make sure that nobody was going to bump into him before he started moving again. Her thoughts and dreams? What the fuck was he thinking? Colton had never asked any girl about any of these things, and that included Jasmine. She was a repeat and they never really talked.
He drifted through his classes and grabbed a slice of pizza from the little place in the middle of campus and some soda since he was starting to feel tired. They had late practices almost every night of the week, so he needed some energy. Colton also knew that he should start eating a bit better. When he found a table in some shade, Colton noticed Amy sitting by herself at a table several feet away under a tree as she typed on a little computer. She looked focused as well as beautiful in a long flowing green skirt that would match her eyes with a dark brown t-shirt. Her hair hung in a thick braided over her shoulder, and he smiled as he watched her behind his sunglasses before someone tapped him on his shoulder. Colton turned around to see Kenna and Jasmine standing there smiling down at him as his heart sank. Amy was just across the way, but when he stole a glance at her, it looked like Trey had joined her. “Hey, ladies,” Colton said as he forced his gaze back to them and the scowl that was forming on his face away. “How are you?”
“Great,” Jasmine replied with a smile. They exchanged a long look and Colton raised an eyebrow as he watched them. “We were wondering if you wanted to come by tonight for some dinner and maybe drinks.”
“Coach is on us this week. I think we’ll be practicing every week just to keep up the wins,” Colton told them as Kenna frowned at him. “It’s hockey and studying for me for a while.”
“That’s too bad. We’ve had a good time together.”
“Sure. Maybe one of these weekends?” Colton asked as he glanced over to see Trey kissing Amy as he leaned across the table. Fuck. “I heard something is going on Saturday?”
“Phil is having something at his house,” Jasmine confirmed as Colton nodded and told them he might see them. They walked away talking softly, and he glanced over to see that Amy had left her spot. Was she with Trey? He finished his lunch and tossed most of it into the trash before he went to his next class and then straight to practice.
They worked hard into the night. All of the guys went home tired, and Colton was almost certain that Trey was going back to the apartment that he shared with friends judging from the look on his face. Colton rushed back to the dorm and checked his phone as he walked into his dorm to see a message waiting for him.
It was from Amy telling him to text her if he came home before eleven. Colton glanced at the phone to see that it was ten fifteen, and he sent one back asking her if she was free. It had bothered him seeing her with Trey at lunch, but he knew that was unreasonable. He needed to take what time he could get. He just needed her close to him. Colton was pleased when she said she’d come over for a little while, and he waited for her to get there before he hopped into the shower just like the first time. The sight of her in a blue dress on the bed after he cleaned up was too much to take, and he moved to eagerly kiss her as she wrapped her arms around his neck.
CHAPTER 5
The days and nights started to blend as both Colton and Amy survived on little sleep and barely made it through their long days. They fell asleep more frequently in his bed after heated make-out sessions that burned into more within just a few nights. He knew that every night was one longer than he should be doing this but he couldn’t stop now.
The night that he stripped her and buried his face between her legs to make her come a few times with his tongue and lips was when he stopped seeing other girls. Her taste was too intoxicating, and he didn’t want anybody else, which seemed to suit her because he sensed her discontent with his past. He didn’t know how much she saw Trey. He just knew that they hadn’t officially ended.
Colton felt a bit disgruntled when his friends and the girls didn’t seem to understand why he’d slowed down He had been a player for so long, and he couldn’t admit to sleeping with Amy, so he made up some story about a girl a few towns away. Colton told everyone that it might turn into something, and he was waiting to see before he jumped into anything else.
Trey seemed like he was just doing the usual with the parties and girls when they weren’t practicing or playing. The night that Amy and Colton couldn’t hold back was the same night he realized that he didn’t have any condoms in the room and rested naked against her as he took deep breaths. “Damn it. I don’t normally have any here, and I guess I forgot to get some.” He rested his forehead against hers as he let her heat wash over his body.
“How’s that? I’d think you would always have them ready.” Amy took a jab at him as he winced and pushed back away from her. Colton rested against the wall and ran his hands through his hair with a sigh.
“I don’t do anything in here. This is my space…my privacy. I need that somewhere.” Colton finally told her in a weary voice as he closed his eyes. He was so fucking tired but he wanted her so bad, and he felt the blood rush right to his hard cock.
“You’ve never had a girl here?” Amy asked him in surprise, and he shook his head. “Why me?”
