About Confessions of a Former Puck Bunny:
Confession #1:
I used to be a puck bunny, but after a hockey player broke my heart, I gave up
all things hockey. Now I'm just focused on finding a way to pass my math class
so I can graduate college.
Confession #2:
Ryder "Ox" Maddox's deep, sexy voice sends fuzzy tingles through my
entire body, and I'm powerless to stop it. Which is a big problem since the
hot, surprisingly funny hockey player is my new math tutor.
Confession #3:
I can't stop thinking about how ripped Ryder is from all his hockey training,
and how fun it'd be to cross lines with him.
Confession #4:
I kissed a hockey player and I liked it.
Confession #5:
If I'm not careful, I might relapse and fall for Ryder, and then I'll be
totally pucked.

“So,
how was the game?” Lindsay asked.
I
peered into her big brown eyes—they weren’t as focused as usual, more
unguarded. But I worried the wrong words would still erect barriers, and I
didn’t want to lose this more uninhibited version of her. “For tonight, how
about I’m just your math tutor?”
The
corner of her mouth twisted up. “You’re going to teach me math on the dance
floor?”
“Sure.”
I drew her closer, until her body was flush with mine, took a step and
whispered, “One, two…” Another step. “Three.” I grabbed her hand, spun her in a
circle, and dipped her.
She
gripped my biceps with her free hand and tipped her head all the way back, her
hair nearly brushing the floor. She laughed, full out, and when I pulled her
into my arms, the impact of her unguarded smile kicked me in the gut. “That’s
not math. That’s just counting, and even as drunk as I am, I know how to do
that. Those dance moves on the other hand…” Her hands drifted up my arms and
rested on my shoulders. “Where’d a guy like you learn those?”
The
truth involved being “prepped” for political events that I hated, but I didn’t
want to get into how my mom used me as her golden boy prop to help advance her
campaign. Instead I used the hand on Lindsay’s back to press her tighter
against me, soaking in her warmth and curves. “I like your laugh. Your smile,
too.”
She
reached up and touched the pads of her fingertips to my lips. My breath caught
in my throat as a zing shot from her touch to the center of my chest. “I like
your smile, too.”
A
crease formed between her eyebrows. “But I’m not supposed to be telling you
that. I probably shouldn’t be dancing with you, either.”
“Is
that right?” I slid my thumb underneath the hem of her shirt, stroking the spot
where I’d seen ink that first night I’d tutored her in the math lab. “I won’t
tell if you won’t.”
She
dazedly shook her head. “I had a plan. But it’s a bit fuzzy—I used to be able
to drink that much vodka, but now, not so much. I know I was supposed to be
looking for…someone. Someone else whose smile I don’t like as much.”
“That
sounds like a shitty plan, one that would make me have to hurt that someone
else.” I splayed my hand on her back and pressed her closer, working to repress
the overwhelming possessive streak that took hold for the second time tonight.
“Better stick to dancing with me.”
“No,
but look, I had really good reasons…” She blinked and seemed to lose track of
what she’d been saying. “But whenever I’m with you, my thoughts crash into each
other and how am I supposed to think straight when I can feel your hard muscles
pressed up against me?”
That
confession encouraged me to eradicate every last inch of space, and between the
feel of her curves and the way her breath hitched, my muscles weren’t the only
thing that was hard.
