Falling Fast and Breathing Hard

About three weeks have passed and my boys have had a great start to their season. Tonight, they're playing the Senators and I've got a seat right behind the Pens bench. I don't know how I'm handling it especially since I'm dating Kris. Not even halfway into the first, they drew first blood; Letestu scored a power-play goal and the place blew up. Over five minutes later, another power-play goal came before one last goal in the period. In the final seconds, it got even more interesting; Alfredsson scored a power-play goal of his own before the Pens got back to scoring with a goal just over ten minutes into the period, Duper scored but we didn't have much time to cheer because Kris got a pass from Rupper and one-timed the puck into the net.

"Fuck yeah!" I screamed louder than I had for any other goal.

"You are crazy." Mary said, laughing.

"Thanks." I said, smirking.

He smiled at me as he went to bump his teammates' gloves. I giggled and blushed.

"You go from crazy to adorable in a split-second."

"Is that weird?"

"Kinda, but it suits you. You're in love with him and in what, 5-6 months, you two are gonna be parents? It's a good thing."

I nodded.

In the third, there was only one more goal and that was from Campoli, but that was obviously fine; my boys won.

Meet me at home?

Yep. See ya soon! Love ya!

See ya! Je'taime!

After I got home, I changed into a new pair of lingerie and my robe then headed to the kitchen when I heard him outside.

"Hey Athena. Wow..." he said, checking me out.

"You like?"

"I love." he asked, walking toward me.

I smiled and kissed him.

"Can I see what's under there?"

"Nope. Not yet."

"Why not?"

"Just cause."

He pouted and I laughed.

"Please?"

"No."

He then squeezed my ass.

"Ok. Let's go."

I pulled on his tie and off we went. He looked like a love-sick puppy.

"So?" he asked, shutting the door.

"So?"

"Can I see?"

"If you take off your clothes."

"Ok. I can do that." he said, nodding.

"Good."

While he did that, I began rubbing myself; seeing him getting undressed turned me on so badly. I tried not to make any audible sounds as I did so.

"Athena?" he asked, walking toward me.

"What?" I asked with a smirk.

He gave me a look.

"You know what."

"I know." I said, taking off my robe.

He let out a laugh and grabbed me by my hips and turned me around pushing me up against him.

"I love you and how you turn me on when you touch yourself and moan while doing so." he said, rubbing me through my panties.

"You heard that?" I asked moaning.

"How could I not?"

I blushed.

"I thought that I was being quiet."

"You are never quiet... and I love it."

I blushed even more.

Athena Sky Halloway loud.

Wow.

"Take off my panties. Now." I said, grinding up against him.

"If you say so, Ms. Halloway."

He did and I unsnapped my bra, finally freeing them.

"How do you wanna do this?" he asked, running his hands up and down my body.

"Up against the wall. We've never done that, so... yeah. Up. Against. The. Wall."

"I love you."

"I love you, too." I said before pressing my lips onto his own.

A couple of days later, they were back on the road for two games: Nashville, St. Louis before heading back to Pittsburgh for two days until they fly to Tampa for next Wednesday's game.
I watched the first game by myself because Mary wasn't feeling well, but I didn't mind. I enjoy some time alone every now and then. The game started with Legwand scoring first and Geno scoring the next goal; it went back-and-forth from then on. Sid got the game into overtime and my heart began to pound. Nashville was... is really good, so were we... so I'm crazy. It was nearing a minute left in overtime when Letang launched a puck into the net behind Rinne, landing him as the number one star in the game. Ok. Athena feels better. I was about to call him when I heard a knock on my door.

What? Who the hell could that be?

I was in shock when I answered the door.

"Olan?"

My ex. The ex who I lost my virginity to and thought I loved that was gone when I woke up the following morning never to be heard from again.

"Hi, Athena."

"Why are you here? How do you know I even live here?"

"I know some people and I'm here to get you back."

"You're not gonna get me back and what makes you think that? You left me!"

"That was a mistake. I do love you."

I rolled my eyes.

"Just go away." I said forcefully, trying to shut the door and lock it.

"Not happening." he said making his way into the house.

"Why? Why is it not happening, Olan?"

"I live here now."

"Please tell me you're joking."

"Nope." he said with a smirk.

My heart began to race.

"Go. Away." I said with tears in my eyes.

"Why? Are you scared?" he asked, pushing me into the wall.

"No..." I lied.

He laughed.

"So, I heard you have a man in your life. Kris Letang?"

"Yeah. What's your point?"

"Does he love you or is he only fucking you?"

I growled.

How dare he.

"Both."

"I can tell. If I'm not mistaken, you're pregnant."

I gave him the stare.

"Get. Out. Of. Our. House." I said, trying to keep my cool.

"Ok, but I'll be back."

He left and slammed the door. After catching my breath and wiping my tears, I called Kris.

"Hey, babe."

"Hey, Kris." I said plainly.

"Something's off. What's wrong?"

He always knows.

"I just had an encounter with somebody from my past. My ex."

"What'd he do?"

"He came to the door and told me that he wanted me back and he loved me. He knew I lived here and wouldn't leave because he lives here now."

"Fuck. I'm coming back, now. They can call up another defenseman for Saturday's game."

"Kris! Please don't do that! You need to do your job."

"Athena, my job means nothing if you and our unborn child are unsafe."

"Kris...I do have a friend here. You met her. I'll be fine."

"Fine, but I'll be back as soon as I can after the game. Ok?"

"Ok. I love you. Can I tell you the rest of the story?"

"Of course."

"I argued with him and he still didn't leave. Instead, he forced himself in and pushed me up against the wall seeing how scared I was. Then, he mentioned you and asked me if I loved you or you were only fucking me. Saying both, he said, 'I can tell. If I'm not mistaken, you're pregnant?' I gave him a look and told him one last time to get out of our house; he did, but told me he'd be back."

"I wanna fucking punch his lights out. If he really loved you, he wouldn't have pushed you like that, especially since you're pregnant. Are you sure about me not coming home?"

"I'm sure. I'll be fine. I love you."

"I love you, too."

"I wanna tell you something. I was gonna say it a few minutes ago on the phone before he came, but... congrats on the game and the game-winner; it was awesome and amazing. You are awesome and amazing."

I could tell he was smiling and blushing like crazy on the other side of the phone.

"Thanks. You're the best."

"Look who's talking."
