We won? We won... Holy shit! We actually won! I scored the winning goal! The LA Kings are going to the Stanley Cup Finals because of me!

I dropped to my knees and just kissed the ice in front of me not being able to believe it. Without even being able to get up, my team came over and hugged me, thankful for having scored. Then I was quickly picked up and they did a lap around the ice with me in the air. Showing all our fans the star player.

When they finally put me down, we lined up to shake hands with all of them. Of course they were mad but they were good sports about it. Adam was at the end, as was I. He was the last person's hand I would shake, when I reached him, he gave me a sad look but hugged me.

" You did good Ana, you deserve this. "

I was gonna respond but was quickly pulled away to go see the cup. By the time I looked back, he was already on his way to the locker room.

We celebrated and celebrated till we couldn't no more because they needed the stadium cleared. Everyone was going out to celebrate but I had decided to head on home. It had been a tough game for me, especially since everyone was after me but it was totally worth it. When I pulled into my driveway I saw an unfamiliar car there and someone sitting on my porch. When I got out and made my way to the front door I saw it was Adam.

" What are you doing here Adam?"
" I thought you could use some taking care of due to all the shit you got through the game. And don't bullshit me and say it doesn't hurt because Shawzy & Steeger can hit pretty hard."

He was right and I had known that but I still tested them and got into a fight with them. Not saying anything, I opened my door and let him in. Once putting my bag down I finally realized how achy I really was. Adam still having known me the best in quite a while, quickly went over to me and picked me up gently and taking me to the kitchen. He placed me on the counter and started looking at where I got hurt.

" Alright sweetie, where does it hurt? "

I didn't say anything as I felt some pain go through my rib where Shaw had punched first. Adam noticed that and made me take off my shirt to examine it. Sure enough, there was a large bruise on it. He quickly got to it and started putting medicine on it. He was fixing the stitches I got by my lips when I finally thought of something.

Quickly moving, I bit his finger and started laughing. Then without hesitation, Adam grabbed me and started tickling the shit out of me. We were laughing so hard that I didn't realize I was on the counter and he was right between my legs instead of to the side. Our faces were so close and I could feel his heavy breathing and pounding heartbeat. So there was no doubt that he could hear or feel mine as well.

Without a second thought I grabbed his shirt and pulled him in, giving him a pretty rough kiss. We madd out for a quite a while and I realized, holy fuck I missed this. He put his cold hands under my shirt and traced over the bruise I had as I had my hands on his waist and quickly moved them to his ass to bring him closer. Hey, I like some booty in my life. Groaning by my action, Adam pulled away.

" Baby, we needa stop before I can't handle it any more., " Adam whispered inn my ear while biting it gently.
" Then let's keep going. "

Bearly letting me finish my response, Adam already was right back at my lips again.
