Best Of Both Worlds (Colorado Black Diamonds #4)

Bonus Scene

NOAH - A FEW YEARS LATER

“You really want to retire?” Graham asks me one more time. “You’re sure?”

I nod, sipping on my beer. Darkness has fallen all around us. String lights hang above us on our patio as lightning bugs flicker and crickets chirp in our backyard.

I let out a peaceful sigh. “I’m positive. What else do I need to achieve in my career that I haven’t already?”

“It’s going to be weird playing without you,” Graham tells me, his feet tangling with mine on our outdoor lounger.

“You’ve played without me before,” I tell him.

“Yeah, but I like playing with you better.”

“Aww. You really do love me.”

Throwing an arm around Graham, I pull him close and press a kiss to the top of his head.

“Considering we’ve been living together for however long it’s been now, I think that’s obvious.” Graham’s laugh vibrates through me.

“Just think though. I’ll be here waiting for you when you get home from your away games.”

“I’ll be a kept man. Even if I’ll miss bunking with you on the road.”

I laugh. “I don’t think I’ll miss those long road stretches. Even if I’ll miss you.”

“As long as you’re here when I get home.”

“There’s no other place in the world I’d be.”

I take a deep breath of the warm, spring air. Even though this season didn’t end how we wanted it to, I’m okay with it.

Because I’ve accomplished more in my career than many could even hope to dream about. Especially these last few years with the Knights.

I never thought I’d get back to my prime like I was with the Black Diamonds, but I did. And it helped establish the Knights as one of the league’s premier teams. We’re no longer a joke. The team that no longer is circled by others as a guaranteed win.

I love that I helped with that. But I’m too old to keep playing. I can’t keep up with the younger guys, and I want to be able to enjoy life after hockey. It’s to the point where my body just isn’t there anymore.

And I’m okay with that.

Nights like this with the man I love are what I want now. Not chasing another cup or another win.

“Besides, if I really want to, I can travel to any of your away games that I want.”

Graham barks out a laugh this time, deep and hearty. “You were already traveling to all the games when you played.”

“Hey.” I elbow him in the side. “See if I come to any of your home games now either.”

Graham presses a cool kiss to my cheek. “I know you’ll be there. Rocking my jersey now. I couldn’t keep you away even if I tried.”

“No, you couldn’t. I’ll be the most obnoxious person in the stands.”

Graham groans. “Oh god, you will be, won’t you?”

I nod, smiling to myself. “Calling out the refs and yelling at the opposing team. It’ll be perfect.”

“Do you think it’ll be hard?” Graham asks, setting down his empty beer bottle on the table in front of us.

I shrug a shoulder. “At first, yes. It’ll be weird not having hockey, but I’ll get used to it. Find something else to do so I’m not twiddling my thumbs everyday.”

“You know…” Graham starts.

“What?”

“Since neither of us have anything to do tomorrow…” Graham shifts, throwing one knee over my lap, straddling me.

“Have something in mind?”

Having my sexy as hell boyfriend leaning over me is something I don’t think I’ll ever get over.

Graham leans over me, tugging my earlobe between his teeth. “If I have to tell you, I don’t think I’m doing it right.”

“Then why don’t you show me.”

Graham pulls back and gives me a wicked smile. “How about a celebratory blow job for retirement?”

“Mmm.” I’m practically purring and I don’t even care. “I wonder how often I could use this excuse to get a blow job from you.”

Graham gets down on his knees for me and grabs the beer bottle from my hand. He swigs back the last few sips before setting it on the table behind him. “Giving you a blow job? You only have to ask.”

Grabbing the hem of my shorts, Graham pulls them down my legs and tosses them over his shoulder. Seeing as how I changed when we got home after locker clean out, I didn’t put anything else on besides them. My cock is already hard and leaking at the attention from Graham.

His strong hands move up my thighs, brushing lightly against my balls. While his attention is solely on my dick, he doesn’t give me the relief I’m seeking.

A quick squeeze here. Another brush there. Graham is edging me as my precum starts to leak from the head of my cock.

“What the fuck are you waiting for?” I growl. “Can’t you see I’m ready?”

“You know.” Graham rests his elbow on the lounger next to me and stares into my eyes. Big brown eyes that are full of love and playfulness. The fucker. “You’re awfully demanding now that you’re retired. You’re not the captain anymore which means you’re not the boss of me.”

“Fuck me.” I throw my head back in pain. I’m ready to explode and all I want is Graham’s mouth on me when I do.

“I believe that’s your job.” At those words, Graham swallows me down to the base.

“Oh fuck.” The relief is immediate. There is nothing better than Graham’s mouth on me. Well, except maybe being buried inside of him. But that will come later.

Pushing my fingers through his hair, I slow his movements. His mouth looks perfect wrapped around me as his free hands plays with my balls.

“So fucking good,” I whisper. “God, your mouth.”

Graham smiles as best he can around me, but doesn’t pop off. With each suck, I’m that much closer to exploding down his throat.

My balls start to seize up as fire moves through me. With one final squeeze, I erupt. Pouring everything I have down his throat as Graham swallows every last drop.

“Fuck!” I shout into the quiet night. My hips lift off the cushions and push down Graham’s throat as he takes everything I give him. “Yes, yes, yes!”

As I float back down to Earth, my entire body is boneless.

Graham wipes his mouth as he takes a seat beside me and pulls me into his arms. “Since you’re retired now…”

“Yes?” I ask, looking up at him. His own dick is hard as granite, poking me in the side.

“I think you’ll have more energy to fuck me now.”

This time, it’s me who’s moving so I’m on top of him. Cupping his dick through his shorts, I give it a hard squeeze. “What are you saying?”

“I think that means you’ll have more than enough energy to fuck me every time I come home from a long road trip.”

“Or any game really.”

“True.”

I nod, squeezing him harder. “Or every night.”

Graham smiles, his eyes filled with nothing but lust. “Whenever we want.”

I smile back at him, taking his lips in a sweet kiss. “We have all the time in the world.”
