Trying to Score Page 168

“So what do we think?!”

Fallon looked over at the person that interrupted their moment. Elli stood in a cute yellow sundress and matching yellow pumps. Her smile was brighter than her dress but for once, Fallon wasn’t happy to see her. She would never get this moment back, and she hated that Elli had interrupted it.

“I think she’s happy,” Lucas answered, grinning over at Fallon. She looked deep into his eyes, moving her hands along her cheeks to catch her happy tears. He gave her a grin before leaning up and kissing her nose.

Fallon nodded and then looked over at Elli. “I’m beyond it.”

“So you really love it?” Lucas asked.

Fallon looked over at him from her spot on the couch. After spending the morning going over paperwork with Elli, Fallon decided to skip work and come home to be with Lucas. They were both dog tired but Fallon couldn’t go to sleep. She wanted to spend all her time with him, and sleep could wait. She took a hold of his hand and smiled.

“I do Lucas, thank you so much.”

He smiled. “Good,” he said running his thumb along her hand, “so I’m just going to throw this out there.”

Fallon raised an eyebrow as she smiled. “What?”

Lucas ran his tongue along his lips and Fallon took in a sharp breath as lust took over her body. She sure did love that tongue of his. Lucas grinned down at her as he threw one of her legs over behind his back so that he could lie down on top of her. His hard body pressed down into her soft one but she didn’t mind. She welcomed it.

“I’m pretty sure,” he said running his lips down her jaw. It was hypnotic and her eyes fell shut as he moved them back up to her mouth, “that you were going to tell me you loved me outside your new wine cellar.”

Fallon’s eyes shot open to see him grinning down at her. She scoffed as she smiled. “You’ll never know.”

He chuckled. “Oh come on, say it. Just whisper it.”

“Noooo,” she complained, “I want to say it when you don’t expect it!”

Lucas laughed. “So you are not denying it.”

Fallon shrugged her shoulders. “I ain’t saying nothing.”

Lucas let out a frustrated breath. “You are being difficult.”

“You’ll be okay,” she giggled. “So anyways, when’s Tate coming by?”

“In a little while,” Lucas pouted but Fallon ignored him.

“Hmmm, you know I wish he was older. Him and Audrey would be so cute together.”

Lucas looked away, taking in a breath. “Yeah.”

“You know, maybe we can find someone for her, then she’ll leave the douche!”

Lucas nodded, still not looking at her. “Has she talked about him?”

Fallon shrugged her shoulders. “She tells me that they are great,” Fallon said with disdain in her voice. “It makes me sick, ‘cause I want to know who he is so I can kill him.”

“Yeah.”

Fallon looked up at him. “What?”

Lucas looked down at her. “Nothing, I was just thinking about who would be good for her.”

Fallon suspected her was lying, but why would he do that? He wouldn’t lie to her, they were solid and everything was perfect so she smiled before saying, “I was thinking number 15, he is hot!”

Lucas glared. “Anderson?’

“Sure, the blonde-haired guy. Total hottie. Audrey will love him.”

Lucas laughed. “He’s a player.”

“Aren’t all hockey players?”

Lucas pinned her with a look before saying, “I’m not, and neither is Adler, Welch, or Titov.”

“That’s ‘cause y’all are blessed with hot females in your lives. Anderson just needs a hot chick, and my sister is that.”

Lucas smiled, “I’ll talk to him.”

“Yay! You’re the best.”

He gave her a sad smile. “Obviously not, since you won’t tell me you love me,” he complained.

Fallon started to laugh. “Oh hush,” she said with a flick of the hand, “and tell me how you are going to win these next two games so that we can lay in bed together until you leave again.”

“Shh!” Lucas exclaimed, “You’ll jinx us.”

Fallon laughed, wrapping her arms around her neck and kissing him deeply. When they parted she flashed him the biggest grin ever and then said, “I can’t jinx the best team in the NHL!”

Fallon had jinxed them.

After beating the Wild in their home arena, they came to Nashville with guns blazing and shut the Assassins out. It was extremely embarrassing. Not only was the arena sold out, but Aiden and Fallon had come to the watch the game. Lucas hated losing, but he loathed losing in front of the two people he loved.

Lucas came out of the player’s exit to see Fallon and Aiden waiting for him. Aiden looked adorable in his number #22 jersey and his Assassins ball cap. It made him feel good to see his number on his boy, but when he looked up at Fallon, he no longer felt good. Lucas felt great. She wore a pair of tight jeans with his old Sharks jersey, her shoes matching the turquoise of the jersey and her hair in a pretty side braid. She looked spectacular, and even with the loss he couldn’t help the grin that came over his face.

Aiden came running towards him and jumped into his arms, wrapping his little arms around Lucas’ neck.

“You lost,” he stated.

“I know. Sucks huh?”
