Snowbound With The Hockey Star

Chapter 16

We were tired when we finally got back to the house but Leon just wouldn't understand because if it was up to him we would play the whole day.

My body felt happy. l immediately went to the kitchen to cook supper and the food smelled good. Luca was in the bathroom, giving Leon a bath. I heard Leon laughing and splashing water. It felt like we all fit together. I felt like I belonged, like I was part of a family.

We did what we had to without even having to talk about it. We sat down to eat and Leon talked a lot, he wouldn't stop talking about his day like we didn't just spend it with him.

I watched how Luca looked at Leon and it was full of love. He was a great dad. After dinner, I took Leon to the bedroom and told him a story. He listened with his eyes wide and shining in the dark. He believed in the magic of the story. When I finished, I tucked him in and kissed his forehead. "I love you, kiddo," I whispered.

I genuinely love him a lot. I walked back into the living room. Luca was sitting on the couch, staring at the fire. He looked up when I came in. He gave me a soft smile. "Hey," he said, his voice warm. I sat down next to him. I felt calm and comfortable being with him. "So, when are you thinking of going back?" he asked, looking at me. I think he is better than me because I was planning on ignoring the fact that the weather was good enough for me to leave anymore moment.

I felt a little sad though. I didn't want to leave. "I was thinking of staying for New Year's, if that's okay," I said, trying to sound casual. Luca looked surprised. For a second, I thought he would say no. Then, a big, warm smile spread across his face. "Ava, you've made Leon so happy. You can stay as long as you want," he said. I felt happy for a few seconds until I registered what he said and he made it clear that clear only Leon who wants me here and it struck a nerve.

"I wanted to say sorry for how I talked to you earlier," I told him. "It wasn't right, and I'm sorry." Luca put his hand on my arm. "You don't need to apologize. I needed to hear that. I've been so stuck in my sadness, I haven't thought about how my actions hurt other people." I took a deep breath because I understood his sadness.

"You shouldn't feel bad for loving Clara," I said taking back everything that I said while I was stuck in my jealous period. "No one should be shamed for missing someone they lost. I miss my mom every day, and I would never let anyone tell me I shouldn't." Luca looked at me with a mix of sadness and understanding. "I know," he whispered. "It's just... I sometimes feel stuck. Like I'm not allowed to move forward. Clara will always be important to me, and it's hard to let happiness come into my life." We were quiet for a moment, listening to the fire. Then, Luca changed the topic. "What do you usually do for Christmas?" he asked. I smiled, feeling a bit sad. "I usually work in the office until my friend Gary takes me out for dinner with his family," I admitted. Luca looked surprised and concerned. "That sounds lonely," he said gently. "Why don't you go home to your parents?" I sighed, feeling a familiar frustration. " my stepmother and I don't get along and my father treats me like I'm some kind of disease not to mention my brother he's the favorite, the 'good one.' I feel like I live in his shadow. We only talk when he causes a problem, and I have to fix it."

​Luca listened quietly. "I'm sorry. That sounds really hard," he said kindly. I nodded. "It is, but I handle it because l'm used to it," I said.

​

​As we talked, Luca looked at me differently. It felt like more than just friendship or our arrangement. My heart sped up and I reached out and touched his hand. A spark jumped between us.

somehow he just has to look at me for me just like feeling in a completely different way and I will always carry that with me because I don't think I will ever meet a man like Luca ever again and I hope he will find a woman who will make him very happy because he is a really good man and an even can exception of father.

​Luca looked right into my eyes. He felt it too. The air was thick with feeling. "Ava, I..." he started.

I don't know what tomorrow holds for us because I feel like the deadline to the game that we are playing is coming closer and I might not get to do this ever again

​I didn't let him finish. I slid off the couch and kneeled in front of him. My hands went onto his legs. I looked up at his face. "I want to make you feel good," I whispered clearly. Luca looked surprised. Then he slowly started to smile with desire.

​I took his c**k in my hand. I watched his eyes, then I put my mouth on him. I began to suck him. Luca closed his eyes and leaned back. He made deep, low sounds. I felt his body getting tighter, closer to finishing

​I kept going, enjoying the taste and the feeling of giving him pleasure. When he came, his c**k pulsed strongly in my mouth. It was a powerful wave.

​I slowly pulled back. Luca was breathing hard. He looked at me, full of thanks. "Thank you," he whispered. I smiled happily. "I wanted to make you feel good," I said.
