My head is spinning as everyone else congratulates me while the crowd roars.

Finally, Harris Sutton comes over. “Way to take the torch, kid. You’re going to do amazing things in this league. I can’t wait to watch.”

I slap his shoulder and smile at him. “Thanks for letting me learn from the best, Flamethrower.”

I feel like I’m floating as we head back to the bench. There’s still nine seconds left in the game, but I think we’ll be okay.

People start sitting back down, but Norah is still jumping up and down, hollering in celebration.

I grin as I skate over to her. She’s incredible. I wouldn’t have scored the game-winner without her. I’m sure of that.

“Way to go, baby!” she hollers through the glass when I arrive. I wish this glass wasn’t here so I could kiss those soft lips.

“I have something for you,” I shout as I reach into my glove. I pull out a key to my new house. It has a little pink bow on it.

Her eyes light up when I show her.

“Move in with me.”

I’ll never forget the radiant smile on her face as she nods her head up and down, tears filling her eyes. “Okay!”

I toss the key over the glass and she catches it.

The crowd around her cheers as she jumps up and down in excitement.

I’ll get to wake up to that beautiful girl every morning.

I can’t fucking wait.

The next gift I give her will be an engagement ring, you can count on that.

I’m forced to skate back to the circle because the game is starting back up again. They pull their goalie, but we close it out and win.

The win feels great, but moving in with my girl?

That’s just sublime.

EPILOGUE

Norah

One month later…

“Are you sure this isn’t moving too fast?” I ask as I drop the last box into my new office in my new house.

Austin is looking fine as ever in his old faded blue jeans, backward baseball cap, and a loose tank top that cuts low under his arms, showing off all those sexy side muscles. Just one look at him and I realize how stupid I sound.

“Fast is good,” he says as he comes up to me with that cocky grin I love so much. “Slow is bad.”

I step back and bump into the desk. He pins me there, towering over me.

“You want to move slow?” he asks as he drags his hand up my inner thigh. “Or fast?”

I moan as he cups my pussy.

“Fast,” I say with a moan. “Definitely fast.”

He starts to rub me and I’m quickly shivering all over.
