Spinning.
Flying with my feet still on the ground.
It is by far the best kiss of my entire life, so hot and intense and all-consuming that I know I have to go for it. Make the leap. Take my stand. Take inspiration from the UFO festival still rocking hard below and make one large step for womankind and ask Shane if he might consider planting his flag in my moon dust.
I pull back, letting the words emerge in a rush, “I really like you so much Shane, and you’re so crazy sexy, and I’m all about your body, but I’m allergic to semen. The slightest exposure literally makes my throat swell shut, my eyes go red, and my nose stream snot like that’s my job.”
Shane’s eyes go so wide I’m pretty sure I can see part of his brain peeking out beneath his lashes, but I’m already in too far to turn back now.
“So if you’re up for tackling some crazy shit like that and all the careful containment that would have to go on to make sure I don’t die after we bang”—I step out of his arms and back toward the door to the stairs—“then shoot me a text tomorrow, and we can discuss details for a Friends with Benefits situation before you leave. Okay? See ya, great kiss, sleep well, bye.” I bolt for the stairs like I’m being chased by zombies—the fast-moving kind, not shuffly, retro zombs—ignoring Shane’s call for me to wait until I get halfway down the first set of stairs and realize there’s something important I forgot to share.
I sprint back up, opening the door just as Shane is reaching for the handle, and pant into his shocked face, “Also, I’m a virgin, and you would be my first all the way in the va-jay-jay, so take that into consideration, too. Bye, I’m leaving, don’t follow me, I have to go lock myself in my room and scream into my pillow because I can’t believe I just said all those things to you out loud. The end.”
I vanish like a little green alien spotted by the Men in Black, and soon I’m back in my room, hiding under the covers, madly texting the details of my most recent insanity to Stephanie, my friend who teaches yoga to the Badgers on Saturday mornings, and my only friend other than Hailey who knows Shane personally, when another text pops up on my screen.
It’s from Shane…
I don’t need to think about it. I’m in.
Oh God.
Oh my God.
Oh sweet baby Jesus kidnapped from the manger by an unidentified flying object.
He’s in.
And I’m about to have a June I’ll never, ever, EVER forget.

Sneak Peek
Puck Buddies is out October 2018!
*
Bree Marks is my best friend… My secret crush…
*
And—wait for it—cursed with a deadly allergy to erecto-plasm. As in she’ll seriously swell up and die if seminal fluid even touches her. Which means finding the perfect guy to punch her V card is literally a matter of life and death.
*
She wants a nostrings summer fling, but she needs someone she can trust.
*
A puck buddy who isn’t going to get overly emotional. Someone who’s as savvy in the sack as he is on the ice.
*
That’s where I come in.
*
It’s a simple request, really—and one I would be happy to honor.
*
If it weren’t for the whole life-and-death thing.
*
If I hadn’t just been traded to a team thousands of miles away from this girl who makes me think not all relationships are a losing game.
*
If I wasn’t already crazy in love with her.
*
