Pucking Parker (Face-Off Legacy/Campus Kings 1)

“I like Peter. There’s nothing wrong with your first name.” She chuckles, sitting up. “Okay, Peter, let’s get you in the shower.” Bex holds out her hand to me, and I gladly slip my fingers between hers.

“Call me that again, and you’ll pay for it, woman.”

“Oh, yeah?” She throws on one of my old shirts that stops mid-thigh, looking so fucking sexy in it. “What are you gonna do about it, Parker?”

I follow behind her, stepping into a pair of boxers. “Deprive you of sex.”

Her lips part, and her mouth opens slightly. “You wouldn’t.”

I open my bedroom door and hold it open for her. “Test me and find out.”

She narrows her eyes at me. “I don’t believe you. You can’t even go without sex for a day.”

“In addition to stamina, I have incredible willpower. You’ll be begging me for sex by the time I’m done icing you out.”

I lead her down the hallway and check to make sure the bathroom I share with Jamie is clean, before I drag her inside. She sits on top of the toilet lid, watching as I turn on the shower and fidget with the knobs until I have the perfect temperature.

Bex licks her lips as I remove my boxers. “I can’t believe you’re mine. This still doesn’t feel real.”

Her words take me by surprise. “Why?”

“Because I never thought you’d like a girl like me.”

I drop to my knees in front of her and place my hands on her thighs, staring into her eyes. “What kind of girl is that? Beautiful, smart, caring, athletic, sexy… I can keep going if you want.”

She smiles, and then reaches up to touch my face. “You’re so perfect. It’s like you always know the right things to say when I need it.”

“What’s wrong?”

She sighs. “I was just thinking about tomorrow’s game.”

“Are you upset because of Kellan Lehane?”

“No… I don’t know. It’s weird, don’t you think? I know it bothers you. My dad hates playing his team because of it. You’ve been so sweet and never said anything about it, but every time you mention Boston College or Kellan, you get this insane look on your face like you’re about to Hulk Smash everything around you.”

“I’m not gonna lie. That’s how I feel. I want to beat the shit out of him. I want to make him pay for what he did to you. I even asked my dad to pull a few strings to get him kicked off the team. But even he can’t make that happen.”

She strokes my cheek with her fingers. “It won’t change the past, Preston. I don’t want you to do anything stupid that could jeopardize your career.”

“I won’t, baby. I promise.” I pull her down to me, kissing her so hard I’m breathless by the time our lips separate.

As much as I want to destroy Kellan, I have to keep my word. That’s what you do for someone you love.

“Now, get your sexy ass in that shower,” I command, and she squeals with delight.

Chapter Twenty

Bex

“I can’t believe you talked me into this.” Taylor clutches the steering wheel so tight her knuckles are white. “Why does Boston have to be so damn far?”

She hates driving, but at least she has a car. I have a license and haven’t driven more than a few hundred miles since I got it my senior year of high school. And the fun part… Preston has no idea I’m surprising him. He thinks I’m staying behind, waiting for him to come home on Saturday.

“It’s not that far from Philly.”

She gives me an annoyed look. “We’re three hours into a five-hour drive that has turned into longer because of traffic. You better get the best sex of your life or an engagement ring out of this.”

“Maybe you’ll get the best sex of your life instead.”

She cocks her head to me. “What are you talking about?”

“Drake will be there. Duh, silly. He has a crush on you. He asked me about you a while ago.”

She huffs. “Yeah, I know. I’ve talked to him a few times, but he’s acted like a pig every time. So, now I ignore him to see how much it wounds his precious ego.”

I laugh. “Are you into him?”

“Hell, yeah. Have you seen him? I mean, my God, it’s like he bottles up sex and carries it everywhere with him. His arms, those legs… Don’t even get me started. He’s like a wall of muscle I want climb. Drake’s so hot. But guys like him are used to getting what they want, and because of that, he’ll never get me.”

“You are such a cock tease.” I chuckle. “Do you ever have sex with guys or just torture them?”

She switches lanes, her eyes focused on the congested road. “Depends on the guy. They have to work for it. I’m not handing out my donuts to everyone who wants them.”
