him. “But I’m asking you about it not him. I’m asking you if you have desires like that not him. I want to know how I can pleasure you and make sure I’m completing you.”
    He grabbed her towel and released it. He pushed her onto the bed and kissed her neck. He braced her hands above her head as he whispered in her ear. “You are everything I need and want. We will explore this relationship together, ok?”
    She nodded as she lost herself with him.
     
     
     
     
     
    CHAPTER EIGHT
     
    The arena was filled with red and black jerseys. The fans were cheering and yelling as they found their seats. This was it, game seven in the cup playoffs. Win this game and they are going to the finals.
    Hunter and Carter left early afternoon to head to the arena. Alicia drove Mike and Madison to the game. They hopped into the elevator that took them up to the suites. Madison looked straight ahead and didn’t stop to say anything to her parents. Mike kept up with her. They waved to Alicia as she disappeared.
    Right before they entered Hunter’s suite, Mike grabbed her arm and stopped her. “Why do I have this feeling you are ignoring me? You have barely said a word to me today. I sent you a few texts last night and never heard back from you.”
    Madison sighed and leaned against the wall. “Just having some issues with Hunter, I guess.”
    Mike looked at her. “Anything you want to talk about?”
    She shook her head. “That’s probably not a good idea.”
    His eyes tightened as he tried to figure out the hidden meaning behind her comment. “Is it about sex?”
    Madison blushed. “Oh my God, his parents are right there. I’m not discussing this.”
    She walked into the suite as Mike followed behind her. They were greeted by Hunter’s family. They ran over and hugged Madison. Hunter’s dad handed Mike a beer.
    It was late in the third period. Hunter wasn’t having a great game. They were down by three. The arena was silent. The fans started to exit the arena.
    Madison looked around at Hunter’s family as they started to clean up the suite. His mom looked the worst. Maddy grabbed her hand and held onto it. “It’s ok. There is always next season.”
    She nodded. “But, he could be traded and I won’t see him during the season. I love having him here. It was so easy. I know flights are easy to take but if we are across the country from him, I will be lost.”
    She nodded. “I know but we can’t worry about that yet. Time will tell us what will happen.”
    She patted her hand and got up. “He’s going to need you, Maddy. He’s going to be a mess tonight.”
    Madison looked back at the ice as the clock ran out. The other team was heading to the cup finals. Carter and his teammates gathered at center ice and held their sticks in the air to salute the fans. The season was over.
    Alicia joined them shortly after the game was over. “The guys are meeting us up here.”
    Mike looked at his phone. “Hey, I need to run. I’m getting lift from a friend of mine.”
    Madison looked at him. “We could have given you a ride home, Mike.”
    He shrugged it off. “Don’t worry about it. I think Hunter will need you tonight. I don’t want to be a third wheel. We will talk when you get back home. Please thank Hunter for the tickets.”
    Once he left, Alicia turned towards her. “That was nice of him.”
    Madison nodded. “I’m really worried about Hunter.”
    Alicia groaned. “Me too, Carter will be so upset. He thought this was their year.”
    “How should I act around him?”
    “Just be supportive. It may take a few days for his head to clear but he will be ok. This is what they do.”
    Carter walked into the room and stopped. “Well, that sucked.”
    “I’m so sorry, sweetheart. There is always next year.” Alicia hugged and kissed him. “We can focus on the wedding now. You know, it’s only a month away.”
    He smiled. “That’s all I care about right now.”
    Hunter walked in shortly after and sat down on
