Chapter Twenty-One

Candace

When we made love that night, something was different. Ian was quieter, his constant flow of dirty talk silenced. He held my face in his hands, watching me closely, eyes darting back and forth like I was a book he was trying to read, but written in a language he didn’t understand.

Afterward, I laid next to his warming bulk, and listened to him fighting the sleep that he so desperately wanted to overtake him.

But I was wide awake.

“What would you do?” I asked suddenly. “If you weren’t playing hockey?”

Ian sighed and rolled over heavily, his huge frame creating a divot in the center of my bed that I slipped into, my whole body resting against the length of him. “What do you mean?” He sighed again, heavier this time, as he reached out and started rubbing my back.

I pressed a kiss in the center of his chest, tasting the fine sheen of salt still left over from our lovemaking. “I mean, what else do you like to do, besides play hockey?”

“You,” he answered immediately. “I like to do you.”

I sighed. “Cute. But, you know what I mean, Ian.”

“I don’t know, Candace,” he said, flopping back onto his back and flinging his arm over his eyes. “Hockey and you. That’s what I like. I’m a simple man, with simple fucking pleasures. I like you, hockey, and beer. Pretty much in that order.”

“Not hockey, beer, then me?”

He reached down, and slid a hand between my legs. “I’d like you better than hockey if you let me sleep right now,” he said, stroking me gently.

I sighed, giving in to the sensation, but even after he had made me come twice in rapid succession, I still couldn’t shake the feeling that there was more.

There had to be more.

He left before the sun came up, kissing me three times on the forehead and then once more on the lips when I rolled over and demanded that he “kiss me for real.”

Once he had gone, my bed—which had always seemed so tiny—felt vast. I flung my arm out, and ran my hand up and down the sheets, then rolled over and inhaled the place where he had been. My tiny apartment seemed to echo with emptiness. When Ian was here, he filled up the entire space. He was so massive, that when he walked, I swore the walls shook . He was the noisiest man I had ever met, too. His laugh made the glasses in the cupboards ring. When he fucked me, he rumbled dirty talk in a voice made for shouting over the noise of crowds, and when he came, he roared like a bull.

It made me grateful that I lived on the ground floor.

By the time the sun was peeking through the tiny sliver of curtain in my window, I was already up, dressed, and showered, and was working on my second cup of coffee. I figured there was nothing keeping me here, and I had a ton of work waiting for me at the office.
