My Hockey Alpha novel Chapter 279

Nina

Jessica agreed to take over my shift at the infirmary, and I went back to my dorm to change into something warmer. I put on a skirt with warm stockings, wanting to at least dress up a little for what very well may have been our last date if things didn’t go according to plan that weekend. When I was finished, I headed outside to find Enzo sitting on his motorcycle with a smile on his face. He held the spare helmet out to me, then put his own on and started the bike up — but not before eyeing my outfit up and down and unconsciously licking his lips hungrily.

Blushing, I took the helmet and climbed on behind Enzo.

“Hold on tight,” he said, and then drove off. As we drove through the winding roads with the tall pine trees on either side, the wind was cold but it felt good. It made me happy to ride on the back of Enzo’s motorcycle again for the first time in a while. I leaned my head on his shoulder as we drove and watched the vibrant green pine trees rush past, mixed with the orange sky as the sun began to go down. I didn’t know exactly where Enzo was taking me, but I didn’t care so long as I got to be with him.

Eventually, the road straightened and widened and the trees thinned out until I realized that we were headed just outside of town, along the coast where Enzo’s father’s house was. Just before he reached his father’s house, he turned the bike down a narrow road that led somewhere oddly familiar.

“Remember this place?” Enzo asked as he came to a stop in a small parking lot on a cliff overlooking the ocean.

My eyes widened. “You took me here before,” I said with a smile.

Enzo nodded and climbed off of his bike, then held his hand out for me. “I wanted to come here with you again,” he said, leading me over to the stone wall that looked out over the view of the ocean. “This was the place where I realized that I was in love with you.”

I looked up at Enzo then, and his words made tears form in my eyes. “Really?” I whispered.

“Yep.” He nodded. “I didn’t want to believe it at the time, but when I took you here before, I knew that I loved you. Looking back now, especially on how I acted when I thought that Selena was my mate… I feel like such an idiot.”

I shook my head. “Don’t feel that way,” I replied, taking his hand. “You’re not an idiot. You did what you thought was right. You thought that we wouldn’t be able to work out if you had a different mate… But now, it’s all going to be okay.”

Enzo was silent for a few minutes as we looked out over the fading sun. I could tell that he was thinking deeply, no doubt about our upcoming plan to finally take down the Luna. He gently slipped his arm around me, and I felt his hand slide up into my shirt. His fingers were cold on my waist and made me shiver, but at the same time I felt myself begin to tingle with arousal.

I slowly turned to face Enzo and took his other hand, which I slid up my shirt to cup my breast. As I did, Enzo’s eyes flashed red for a moment. I loved when they flashed like that; it was a sign that his Alpha energy was coming out. Without a word, he pushed me up against the motorcycle and slid his hand up my skirt, feeling me through my stockings. His eyes widened when he felt what was beneath.
