“I’m sorry he did that to you. I’m glad he was fired, but at the same time, I almost wish he’d be back next season so I could kick his ass.”

“I think Robbie did a good enough job of that,” she says, shaking her head.

“You’re right. He’d do anything for you, but so would we, just so you know.”

She gives me another grateful smile and a tight hug and that’s when Robbie saunters over to us. “I thought I told you to stop hitting on my girlfriend, Ashton.”

I give him a cocky smile in return and kiss Olivia on the cheek. She laughs and pushes me lightly away as Robbie drags my chair away from her and leans in to kiss her. He’s so fun to mess with. I’m jealous of how effortless their dynamic is. I want that more than anything. Someone to be silly with, someone tokiss in a room full of people, someone to love and love me in return.

I stand up to give them some privacy as I glimpse around the room. More people are trickling in, teammates and their significant others. Robbie’s house is packed. Jordan is talking with his sister, but he doesn’t seem to be very social despite this being his party.

On the other side of the kitchen, I see Eli leaning against a wall, looking at me with an unreadable expression. I tilt my head for him to join me but he shakes his head no. He then nods towards the hallway and takes off. I take that as my cue to follow, so I make my way through the crowded kitchen and down the hallway. I don’t see him anywhere so I just stand around for a moment, spinning in circles.

All of a sudden, a hand is grabbing the back of my shirt and pulling me inside a room. When the door closes and I turn around, I notice where we are. Eli pulled me into the laundry room. Last time we were here was at the New Year’s party when I first kissed him. Eli’s gaze is intense as he slowly backs me into the door. It reminds me of that night and how amazing that kiss was. Even with how drunk I was, I still remember every movement, every touch.

Eli’s lips meet mine and this kiss is gentle, but bruising. It’s like he doesn’t believe I’m actually here, so he needs to ground me. My lips happily part for him and my hands fly to his hair, which is long enough for me to run my fingers through, but not long enough for me to grip.

“You need to grow out your hair so I have something to pull on,” I groan out when he finally gives my mouth a break.

“Hm, I’ll think on it,” he replies before diving in again, his hips finding mine and grinding. Eli’s hands are eager and enthusiastic as he reaches down and undoes my belt, reaching next for the zipper of my slacks.

“Aren’t you afraid of getting caught?” I say, wondering if this really is such a great idea.

“I locked the door this time. Just try and be quiet.”

I don’t get a chance to reply, because Eli drops down to his knees, pulling my layers down until my hard cock springs free and he immediately takes me in his mouth.

“Fuck!” I pant, looking down at him. His fingers dig into my ass and start kneading and I’m so fucking gone for this man and his touch. I start thrusting, slow at first, until Eli guides me faster with his hands. My hands are on his head, threaded in his hair, and I need to lean back on the door as he takes me even deeper. When his finger moves lower and finds my entrance, I tense up.

“Is this okay?” he asks, letting me go with a loudpop.

“Fuck yeah. Just took me by surprise.”

Eli smiles up at me before licking me again. His finger stays at my entrance, gently massaging me, while his mouth moves lower to suck on my balls. His other hand starts pumping me and I can’t think straight anymore. It doesn’t take long for me to come all over his hand, while his finger continues to move in teasing circles. When he stands up, I kiss him hard, not wanting to let go of this bliss.

Eli

Ash kissesme long and hard and I lose myself in it. There’s something about his sexy confidence and demeanor that is incredibly alluring. Not only is he funny and charming, but he’s smart too. Smarter than he gives himself credit for. I feel like I could talk to him and spend every day doing nothing and everything together. And that scares the shit out of me.

I pull back, breaking the kiss. Ash’s pants are still down and while I’m painfully hard, I need to put some distance between us. “Let’s get back to the party,” I say.

“What? Why?” He laughs with a confused look on his face. “What about you?”

“I’m okay,rakas.”

“You’re…okay?” Ash frowns at me like he can’t comprehend. It makes me chuckle.

“Obviously, I’m notokay. I just mean, I can wait until we get back to the apartment. Maybe you can come over?” I hear myself asking. What am I doing? I just said I need to put some distance between us and now I’m inviting him to spend the night?

“Okay, I’ll come over. On one condition.” Ash zips up his pants and brushes another kiss, this time on my cheek. “You have a couple drinks and let loose tonight, and let me drive us home.”

“I don’t need to let loose,” I say with a scoff.

He laughs, hands looping effortlessly around my waist. “No, but I really liked how you bossed me around last time you had a few drinks and put aside your inhibitions.”

I take a deep breath and bring a hand up to cup his head, my thumb pushing on the side of his jaw. I lean in and nip at his bottom lip before moving to his earlobe and biting down. “You like it when I tell you what to do and how to do it?” I whisper in his ear.

“Fuck. Yes.” Ash’s hands tighten at the small of my back.
