Bolstered by that cheery thought, a true s nature found his lips and he started to whistle, hisall the appropriately cruel ways to ruin this uided fool who’d dared to threaten a Buchanan

“Ow! You’re killing me!”

Shannon Garrity ignored the outraged bellow of the hulking beast of a man, affectionately known on the ice as “Killer” and continued to carefully rotate theby the reaction of her player, it was pretty bad She sighed and gave Killer a look that conveyed the unfortunate news she was about to share and the man started to plead ‘I can still play!’ but she shook her head sadly “Sorry, but that leg’s going to have to heal if you want to have any chance of playing next year You’re benched effective as of today I’m sorry, Carl” She placed a hand on his shoulder with compassion “Next stop for you is the doctor for an MRI — not the bar, okay?”

Carl, six-foot four-inches of solid muscle but not a lot of brain, nodded like a child who’d been caught before he’d even put his plan into rab his crutches She watched as Carltea Aubrey, Shannon’s nearly three-year-old daughter “There she is,” Shannon cooed, accepting the toddler froot swaet her,” she said

“No proble “She’s such a cutie”

“Yes, she is,” Shannon agreed, rubbing her nose with her daughter’s and causing her to giggle Her laughter lit up the days that were a challenge, such as today She hated this tiet too attached but souys she worked ere like oversized kids and she adored the onto the NHL but some just weren’t cut out for the next level She alinced when she saw the empty lockers after the cut players received their notice

“Is there anything else you need?” CeCe asked and Shannon shook her head “Okay, if you don’tto cut out a little early I have so to do”

“No problem” Shannon smiled and collected her stuff to leave “I’ht early toht? We have assessments to do on the players”

“Yep”

CeCe, a young college grad with her eye on landing a position sie coed – if one went by stereotypes The girl had curves and wasn’t afraid to use theazes from the players were any indication Shannon had tried to talk CeCe about the i business from pleasure but the bottom line was, Shannon was a teer pastures

With Aubrey on her hip, she navigated past the locker rooms and popped out the backside of the rink to walk toward her car A strange prickling sense caused the hair on the back of her neck to stand up and she glanced around, to survey her surroundings Seeing nothing out of the ordinary, she kept walking, although she picked up her step a little bit After fastening Aubrey in her car seat, she hopped into her little sedan and headed home

You're being a silly goose And paranoid The , she realized she'd been silly No ht movies about crime dramas, she reasoned to herself

Turning up the radio, she perked up when she and Audrey's favorite song caled and by the time Shannon pulled into her sotten about the weird sensation she'd had back at work

Tomorroas Friday Aside from a full day at work, her plans were pretty static Later that night, after tucking Aubrey into bed, she poured herself a glass of wine and slowly savored the first sip She loved her life but there were tis had happened a little differently She certainly hadn't expected to beco and so early in her career But even as she lahts from ti in the world The child was her everything

She carried her wine glass to the living rooested that she put up an online dating profile so she could get some, "adult time" but even as Shannon desperately wanted a little co someone into Aubrey's life that was simply transient So, for now, Shannon's needs were met by her trusty and ever faithful vibrator

Shannon took another healthy sip and leaned back against the sofa cushion, feeling that fa a scene froine nicely

It'd been a purposefully chance encounter — she'd been looking for someone to scratch an itch as a reward for all her hard work and studying to graduate at the top of her class in order to land a coveted position with the Juggernaut and she'd known theto have him

He'd oozed charrace but beneath that laid-back exterior, she'd seen the carnal hunger in his eyes that spoke to the hunger curling itself around her bones She hadn't played coy or hard-to-get; she'd played to win

"Like what you see?" she'd asked boldly when he'd openly assessed what she had on display with the tight, forreat body — years of co behind lean reed "Attached?" she'd asked, getting straight to the point

"No You?"

"Would it matter?"

"Not really," he ad her body as if he already had the right "I don't pity any fool ould leave someone like you unattended in a place like this His loss would definitely be ant yet plainly sexy about the way he'd perused her body and it'd sparked a fire inside of Shannon that had begun to heat her body with a fla and filled with hours of study and tests and she was feeling reckless He had just the kind of build she enjoyed — tall but not overly so, with lean th and virility "Shall we?" he asked solicitously and she accepted his hand as he lead her out of the loud, throbbing din of the club The cool night air had kissed her exposed skin and goosebu her skin while they awaited the valet to return with his vehicle "What's your name?"

She slanted her gaze up at hiht his beautiful, soulful eyes, and said, "Does it reallybut sex" She looped her ar her mouth to his, "Do you have a problem with that?"

"Not at all," he answered, plunging his tongue into the shelter of her warer to taste and

touch She ue plundered and conquered as she willingly surrendered "But I want you to know my name," he said

"And why is that?"

"Because I want to hear you cry out ain until you're too weak to stand and when you leave in the , you'll know exactly whose cock fucked you within an inch of your life"

Shannon graced hiht, I'll bite What's the naht huoosebuainst him

"The na to ht"

"Tall order," she challenged breathlessly "But I like your confidence — hopefully, it's not misplaced or overblown"

At that, he'd laughed and she'd known, even then, that she was never going to forget that night

Shannon sighed in longing at the scorching memory

God, thatan art Shannon had never realized the many and varied ways one could coass, including the unparalleled pleasure of being penetrated in both places at once Even just thinking about it s scissored as she squeezed her thighs together, her core heating with slippery need

"Have you ever taken a cock up your ass," he'd whispered against the shell of her ear as he held her tightly against the hard ridge of his abdoainst the cleft of her behind Her breathing was harsh as she tried to recover fro her eyes shut as the last waves of her orgasm slowly faded "How about two cocks at once?" his silky tone caused her to groan as she shook her head "Well, you're in luck I have so to love" He whirled her around and he produced a large, silicone cock that looked suspiciously like his own Her gaze widened in question and he laughed without a hint ofwhat you can discover on the Internet Now," he advanced toward her with the dildo "Come here, love I want to stuff you full of Buchanan cock"
