“For what?”

“For making your dreams come true. Not many people can do that.”

I have a new dream to make come true. I want her.

She’s perfect. This house is perfect.

I want to lock the doors and live in here with her forever.

“How about we check out that master bedroom?” she says as she walks down the hallway, wobbling on those high heels. She’s fucking adorable.

I can’t take my eyes off her.

She turns into the room and my eyes drop to her ass. I fight back a groan when I see her round cheeks swaying under those gray pants.

I’ve never reacted to a girl like this before.

This is a first for me.

I’ve had beautiful girls throwing themselves at me for years all throughout high school and college, but I was too focused on hockey to do anything about it.

Getting to the NHL was all that mattered to me. It was the only thing I focused on. It was the only thing I cared about.

I think the girls treated it as a game—who could get me in their bed first—but I never gave any of them the satisfaction.

I went to bed early, I got up early, and I trained. Over and over, I trained.

Hockey was the only thing on my mind.

Until now.

When Norah opened the door and I saw her scream and duck away from that parrot, I knew she was the one. I knew she was different.

She’s hilarious and beautiful and sexy and smart.

Once in a lifetime—if you’re lucky—you’ll meet someone that you instantly connect with. That you feel like you’ve known forever. That you know you can’t let get away.

Norah is that kind of girl.

Norah is that girl.

I can see her back home in my parents’ kitchen, laughing with my mom and two sisters, and teasing my dad. She’d fit right in. I already know my family would love her.

“Check this out,” she says as I follow her into the huge master bedroom. “Relaxing in front of this fireplace after a game, huh? Doesn’t that sound nice? And look at this bed.”

I swallow hard as we both stare at it. Her back stiffens.

The sexual tension in the air is so thick you can taste it.

We’re the only two people in the house. We could test out that bed and no one would know.

An image of her dropping onto the mattress while staring up at me with those sexy blue eyes pops into my head.

Fuuccckkk.

I have to be careful or something is going to pop out of my pants.

Her eyes dart to mine and there’s something in them. A sensuality? A need? A hunger? Whatever it is, it’s got my heart thumping.
