The sudden kiss took Luciano by surprise.
His eyes widened.
His breath stopped.
The cold air of the ice rink seemed to disappear.
The sounds around them faded.
All he could feel was the sudden warmth of Roman’s lips against his own.
What the hell was that peasant boy doing .
Every logical thread in Luciano’s mind screamed at him to fight back, to be utterly furious at Roman for taking such a brazen, demeaning advantage of him right here on the open ice.
Yet, even though his head was mad with rage, a treacherous, confusing sensation began to spread through his chest.
His body, entirely betraying him, began to lean into the sensation.
Something awakened.
His neck tilted instinctively, his lips parting a fraction of an inch as a sudden, desperate urge for more took hold of him.
But that was when Roman to break the kiss.
The sudden absence of warmth felt strangely disappointing.
He raised his head up to look at him, his face flushed.
Luciano had an uncertain look in his face that came from being shocked at being suddenly kissed and then wanting more of the kiss.
“Captain.” Roman said in a husky voice.
“You asked what my request was in the duel. This is what I want. I wanted to kiss you.”
Roman was expecting Luciano to glare at him like he had gone crazy, curse at him or even punch him.
But Luciano was lying there looking at him with an unfocused eye, his ears turning red.
“Yo…You want to kiss me.” Luciano stammered.
His usual pride drained from his voice.
Roman nodded his head honestly.
“Yes.”
“Why?” Then he added.
“Are you stupid?”
Roman chuckled slightly.
This is more like Luciano’s behavior.
It sounds like he is trying to sound angry but failed woefully.
“I told you l like you Luciano.” Roman murmured, leaning a fraction closer.
“From the very first day I met you all I wanted to do was to run my hands over your blonde hair and kiss you till we are breathless.”
“You greedy peasant. You are trying to reach for what is not obtainable. What makes you think I will roll in the mud with you.”
“Of course not. Right now we are rolling on ice, later we might roll in the sheets.” Roman said shamelessly, even himself was amazed by his boldness.
Luciano’s eyes widened at Roman’s suggestion of ‘rolling in the sheets.’ He is getting bolder by the minute.
It’s not like it did not turn him on, it’s just that he doesn’t want Roman to know he has that type of effect on him.
The crazy boy might use it to his advantage.
He held out his hands and held the front of his shirt.
“This is the last time you are going to try such a trick on me.” Then he paused and licked his lips.
“If you want to kiss me, do it properly. Not some sloppy dry job.”
Roman’s eyes widened in shock.
His pulse increased.
What did he just hear?
Did he just protest that his kiss was not good enough?
So he likes it.
“Or is that your first kiss?” Luciano said as his eyes drop to his lips.
Roman gasped.
How did he know?
Was he so amateur?
Is his lack of skill so jarring.
What Luciano said next made Roman’s eye nearly popped out of its socket.
“I can see that’s your first kiss. Let me teach you.”
With a sudden, violent tug, Luciano dragged the front of Roman’s shirt downward, pulling the boy’s face straight back down to his.
Their lips met together in a sudden, bruising frenzy.
Luciano took complete control of the collision despite being pinned underneath.
His long fingers raked fiercely through Roman’s dark hair, tangling in the strands and seeking a desperate resolve to the tension that had been building between them all week.
Roman gave him immediate access, opening his lips fully.
He was a bit taken aback and momentarily resisted when Luciano’s warm tongue aggressively pried open his teeth, seeking a deeper intimacy, but the sheer heat of the captain’s mouth melted his hesitation.
Luciano became fully dominant.
He straddled Roman, keeping his thighs at the opposite sides of his hips.
He raised his chin up and deepened the angle of his kiss.
They kissed each other in a wet slurpy way, the heavy sounds of their panting echoing off the plexiglass walls.
Roman’s hands went to the front of his chest caressing the hard lean muscles there.
Luciano’s hand went over Roman’s neck and eventually dug into his hair.
They continued kissing, then suddenly Luciano broke the kiss.
Both of them stayed looking at each other and panting heavily.
“So this is what you want right? Muddy.”
Luciano said a mocking smile played on his lips.
“Get off me.” Roman shoved him off rolling onto his feet.
“I won you again, rich boy, all that bragging is for nothing. I was able to skate for several minutes without falling as you suggested.”
“Oh don’t even talk about your cheap ass skate Roman.”
“But I beat you with it. It was a cheap ass skate but I won you with it and I will continue winning you. I will also go on and win the championship for the Vesperridge wolves.”
‘and maybe win your heart too.’
He muttered in his mind.
Before Luciano could respond, he grabbed his stick and started walking away, limping slightly.
When he got to his dorm room, he was grateful that his roommate Johnny was still sleeping soundly.
He dragged himself to his bed, his legs cramping and hurting badly.
He won but the intense skating session takes far more out of him that he admits.
He strained himself to maintain balance and momentum on the ice in his sheer determination to win against Luciano and now he was paying heavily for it.
He removed his socks, put his legs in an elevated position and massaged his joints.
Immediately he touched his knees he screamed painfully as he felt the pain intensify that was when Johnny woke up.
“Why are you disturbing my sleep?” He sat up and put on his glasses to look at Roman clearly.
“We’re you run over by a trailer in Your dreams.” His voice was thick with irritation.
“Shut up!” Roman yelled at him
“Alright if you are feeling salty at least don’t wake me up I have an early day tomorrow.”
Johnny went back to sleep muttering something about sneaking out at midnight for a rez-vendous time and coming back with a broken leg.
Roman ignored his roommate’s complaints, his eyes staring blankly into the darkness as the reality dawned on him.
He has an important training session in seven hours time.
