Thin Ice

THIN ICE

Eden

I close my eyes, inhaling deeply, feeling the cold air rush through my lungs. The ice is the only place I feel at home. The only place I feel like I can just be me. The only expectations are the ones I give myself. That, I can live with.

I never have been one to bother myself with the opinions of others. Some called me selfish, but it never bothered me. In a way, I am selfish. I have my goals and my dreams and there is nothing that will ever get in the way of me achieving them.

"Well, if it isn't the ice queen herself." His voice comes from the tunnel that leads to the bench. The sound snakes itself around my eardrums, smooth and soft like silk. I didn't hear him walk up behind me. "What are you doing here this late, pretty girl?"

Turning around, I cut my eyes at him. "Is it any of your concern, King?"

"Absolutely," he replies with a smirk. Mischief dances in his eyes. I want him to wipe the look off his face, but I know that look. I've seen it enough times before to know what it does to my body. I clench my thighs as warmth instantly builds in the pit of my stomach. "Come skate with me."

My eyebrows pull together. "Hell no."

Hayden rolls his eyes and steps past me before stepping out onto the ice. He holds his hand out for me. "Come on, Eden. You know you want to."

"Actually, no, I don't."

"Eden, Eden, Eden," he murmurs, tilting his head to the side as he pulls his hand back to lean it against the boards. "Are you really that afraid of me?"

I stare at him, my eyes widening slightly as I rise to my feet. "I am not afraid of you."

"Then why do you try so hard to avoid me? You ice me out every chance you get…" His voice trails off momentarily before he winks. "Except for when you decide to invite me into your bed."

"I told you, that isn't happening again," I mumble as I inch closer to the ice.

Hayden chuckles. "So you've said time and time again." He holds his hand out again. "If you're not afraid, prove it. Skate with me."

My feet don't move. My skates are planted on the floor. I glare at him, knowing exactly what he's doing. He's challenging me and laying out the bait. An exasperated sigh escapes me. "Fine." I take the bait, but I push his hand away and step out onto the ice myself.

Hayden begins to skate backward, his knees bent as he uses his inside edges to slice through the ice. Ignoring him, I skate in the opposite direction, focusing on what I need to work on, rather than what he's doing. I can't help it, though. My eyes keep getting pulled back into his direction as he lazily skates around the rink.

My legs burn from the hours of skating I already did. I should get off and go rest, but this is the dynamic between the two of us. I can't stand him and he's so goddamn persistent, he never knows when to quit. And it works to his advantage because, for whatever reason, I seem to keep giving in…over and over again.

I'm across the rink from Hayden when he sets his sights on me. He pushes off, the muscles in his legs moving him faster and faster as he skates directly toward me at full speed. I stop moving and I stand in place on the ice. I know that he's not going to run into me, but the adrenaline is rushing through my veins from the rush. The closer he gets, the more the uncertainty kicks in.

If I don't move and he slams into me, we're both fucked.

And yet, I refuse to move.

I don't miss the smirk that pulls on his lips, then he turns his skates to the side in a hockey stop stance. He slides to a stop right beside me, spraying shards of ice across the rink. Not a single one touches me, and he should be glad for that. I may have hit him if it did.

Hayden doesn't move. His eyes are on mine and I can't quite dissect the different emotions swirling around in his irises. "You didn't move."

"You wouldn't have run into me."

He tilts his head again and begins to slowly skate circles around me. "How can you be so sure? Unless, of course, you trust me."

His words sent a shiver down my spine. "I never once said that I trust you."

"You didn't have to, pretty girl," he says softly as he brushes past me. I spin around to face him, the two of us caught in our dance as we skated around one another. "Your body did. If you didn't, you would have moved."

I swallow roughly and shake my head. No. I know what he's doing. He's trying to get into my head like he always does. I can't give in to his charm. I can't give in to him. Hayden King knows the power he has over me and damn my body for always betraying me.

He stops in front of me, grabbing my hand as he pulls me with him, skating until we reach the center of the ice. He lifts his arm and I spin underneath it before he pushes me, spinning me in the opposite direction. As he releases me, I let my body take over and create momentum with my arms and legs as I begin to spin faster.

Amid my spin, Hayden's arm darts out, his hand finding mine once again. He throws me off-balance and I abruptly stop, crashing into his chest as he tugs me to him. My chest rises and falls with every shallow breath that escapes me. We are pressed up against one another. His hand drops to my waist, holding me close as the other reaches up to cup the side of my face.

"We shouldn't be doing this, Hayden," I warn him, my voice low but my words soft. It's a contradiction. We're a contradiction.

He stares down at me, his eyes dropping to my mouth then back to my eyes. "You're right. We really shouldn't, should we?"

I shake my head, pulling my bottom lip between my teeth as I grab the sides of his shirt. His fingertips are soft against my face as he tucks a stray hair behind my ear. "You said you had only needed one last night to get me out of your system."

"Hmm," he murmurs as he trails his fingers down my jaw, brushing them across my lips. "I'm afraid it may not have worked."

A ragged breath escapes me. He is running rampant through my veins like a goddamn drug. "We said that the last time was the last time."

"So, you're saying this is probably a bad decision then?" he questions me, his voice hoarse and thick with lust. He brushes his thumb across my bottom lip once more.

"A horrible decision…"

Hayden's eyes bounce back to mine, briefly searching them as a fire burns brightly in his irises. "Fuck it," he growls as he slides his hand back behind my neck. He drops his face down to mine, his mouth crashing against my own as he takes exactly what he came for.

He plunges his fingers through my hair, gripping the back of my head with one hand as he wraps his arm around the small of my back. My head tilts back, my lips falling open as he slides his tongue inside my mouth. He tastes like mint and his lips are soft yet urgent. He claims me, drinking me in as his tongue slides against mine, tangling together. He slides the both of us across the ice until the lower half of my body is pressed against the boards by the benches.

He moves his arm that was wrapped around the small of my back, trailing his fingers across my skin. His hand slides to the bottom of my waist and he starts to push the hem of my fitted tank top upward. I gasp into his mouth as the cold air dances across my exposed skin. It's a stark contrast to the fire that's burning deep inside of me.

"Fuck, Eden," he groans against my lips as he rolls his hips. I can feel how hard he is as he grinds it against my stomach. He slides his hand under my bra, cupping one of my breasts as he rolls my nipple between his fingers. "I need you now. Fuck going back to your place or mine. I'm going to bend you over these boards and fuck you."

Pulling his bottom lip in between my teeth, I bite down, leaving indents in his flesh before releasing him. "You wouldn't dare."

"Is that a challenge, baby?"

My hands drop down to the waistband of his pants. I slowly slip my fingers beneath, but don't go any lower. "What if someone sees us?"

"No one's here but you and I." He pinches my nipple as he moves his mouth away from mine. He trails his lips along the side of my jaw before moving to my neck. "And even if they would see us, I don't fucking care."

"Prove it." My voice is breathless and barely audible. Pushing one hand down his pants, I grip his cock in my fist. "I dare you to fuck me right here, right now."

"Turn around, pretty girl," Hayden growls in my ear as he drops his hand from my breast and pulls mine from his pants. His hands find my waist, abruptly spinning me around to face the boards. Planting his hand against my spine, he pushes me forward, bending me over the boards before his hands are sliding beneath the waistband of my leggings and panties.

The cold air slides across my skin as he pulls them halfway down my thighs, leaving me bare and exposed. He pauses for a moment, turning his feet out to dig into the ice with the edges of his skates. I glance back, just to see him pulling down his pants and boxers. His gaze collides with mine, heated and filled with lust.

"Lift up onto the toes of your skates," he orders me as he spits into his hand and strokes his cock twice to get it slick with his saliva. Positioning himself behind me, the tip of his cock presses against my entrance. "Hold on to the boards."

Hayden

My fingers dig into Eden's flesh as I thrust deep inside her. The air leaves her lungs in a rush and she cries out as I bury myself inside her tight pussy. My skates are planted in the ice, preventing me from moving as I begin to move my hips, sliding in and out of her. She moans loudly, her head tilting backward as she clamps down around me.

"That's it, baby," I murmur as I slide one hand along her spine before reaching for her hair. I wrap it around my fist, giving it a rough tug. "You were made for this cock, you know that, don't you?"

"Shut up and fuck me, King," she moans as she holds on to the boards to the point that her knuckles are turning white. "Your cock is what is going to make me come, not your words."

A chuckle rumbles in my chest as I rock into her harder. "I beg to differ."

Eden presses back against me, needing more from me as I begin to shift my hips, fucking her harder. A moan escapes her again and I hear my name on her lips. Slowing down, I grip her hair tighter, but I don't stop as I fuck her slowly.

"You're not allowed to come yet, baby," I murmur into her ear as I lean forward. "You come when I tell you that you can."

Eden's pussy clenches around my cock. "We never agreed to those terms, Hayden. You're not the one who is in charge here."

"That's where you're wrong, pretty girl," I breathe, nipping at the side of her neck. "I'm the one who will have you screaming my name when I finally decide to let you come."

"I'll never scream your name." She peers at me from the corner of her eye, a mischievous smirk playing on her lips. "If you don't let me come, I can get myself off with my vibrator at home."

"You've already screamed my name before." I release her hair and wrap my hand around the back of her neck, holding her in place as I bring my face down to hers. I press my lips against the corner of her mouth. "And I want to hear it again tonight. Fuck, I want to hear it every time I'm inside you because we both know this won't be the last time. And in case you didn't already know…I always get what I want."

I ease away from her, keeping my hand around the back of her neck as I keep her pinned against the boards. My hips slow until I come to a full stop, my cock completely inside her. I don't move, a ragged breath slipping from my lips as I make her wait for three heartbeats before thrusting so fucking deep inside her, she's almost thrown off-balance.

My hips shift and I fuck her harder and faster. Releasing her hair, I grip her hip with one hand and snake the other around the front of her body. Grabbing her nipple, I pinch and roll it between my fingers as she cries out. I move to her other breast, repeating the same action. A moan escapes me and I shift my hips again, my cock stroking the depths of Eden's pussy.

Sliding my hand down between her legs, I effortlessly find her clit. I move my hand down farther, sliding one of my fingers along with my cock, pushing it inside her as I thrust into her. Eden moans loudly from the added pressure, from the feeling of me stretching her to her limits. Her sounds echo throughout the ice rink. Her knees buckle slightly, but I hold her up with my arm wrapped around her waist.

Curling my finger that's inside her, I press against the soft spot in her pussy, while grinding my palm against her clit. I apply more pressure, rubbing my hand against her in circles while pumping my finger in and out of her with my cock. She's panting and breathless—a goddamn beautiful mess—moaning my name with all of her inhibitions gone.

Her pussy clenches around me, tighter and tighter with every thrust. I pound into her, fucking her unrelentingly. My balls slap against her as I slam into her over and over again. My vision blurs and I'm seeing literal fucking stars before I'm even ready to come.

"Don't stop, Hayden," Eden cries out as she continues to hold on to the boards.

My heart pounds erratically in my chest. My balls are constricting. I can't fucking think straight right now and I don't even care. I'm so lost in her, nothing else seems to make sense. She's so close and I've made her wait long enough.

"You can come now, pretty girl," I tell Eden, my voice hoarse but demanding. "Be a good girl and come all over my cock for me."

That's all that she needs. She obeys, even though she said my words would never be what sent her over the edge, and shatters around my length. Her pussy is soaking wet and like a goddamn vise grip as her orgasm tears through her body, ripping her apart to shreds. I'm so fucking close, my balls are tight against my body and the warmth is spreading along my lower abdomen.

"Come with me, Hayden," she moans loudly, as I continue to rock into her. "Fill me with your cum."

Leaning forward, my lips brush against her ear again as I roll my thumb across her already sensitive clit. She cries out. "Beg for it."

"Please, Hayden," she pants, her legs shaking as her orgasm continues to send shock waves through her body. "I want to feel your cum dripping from me."

"Fuck," I growl, burying my face against the back of her neck. Her words send me over the edge. I thrust into Eden once more and it instantly sends me plummeting into ecstasy. My orgasm hits me like a fucking tidal wave, drawing me into its depths as I lose myself deep inside Eden. We're free-falling over the edge together, plunging into the abyss, drowning in an ocean of euphoria.

Eden's legs give out completely and she collapses against the boards. Withdrawing my finger from her, I slowly pull my cock out. I quickly pull up my pants, along with hers, even though I've made a mess and my cum's dripping from her.

Eden lifts her head, her eyes dazed as she turns back to look at me. Bending my knees slightly, I wrap one arm around her back and the other under her knees as I lift her into the air. I pull her against my chest, holding her against me as we're both still breathless.

"What the hell, Hayden?" She cuts her eyes at me, although she looks like she's fucking satiated and borderline sedated. "Put me down."

"Would you just shut the hell up and let me carry you?"

She huffs, letting out an exasperated sigh as she reluctantly wraps her arms around my neck and rests her head against my shoulder. "This doesn't mean I like you."

I can't fight the smile that pulls on my lips. "I know, baby. I know…"
