"What the hell do you think you're doing?" Connie pushed him away.
"You know what I'm doing, it's the same thing you've been thinking of doing" Riley smiled taunting Connie by tracing a finger down her chin, the centre of her neck, the hollow in between her breasts and coming to a stop at her bellybutton.
Connie shivered at the sensation, mentally cursing her body for its betrayal.
She couldn't do this, he was Rick Riley, captain of the Varsity Warriors, the Ducks' newest sworn enemy.
There are no Ducks anymore.
The Ducks are dead.
"Ah fuck it" Connie said as she momentarily gave up all resistance and pulled Rick back towards her, pressing her mouth to his as if it were her only source of oxygen.
She felt Rick tense up for a split second, as if he never in a million years expected her to do such a thing but that quickly passed once he realised it was her that was kissing him.
He found himself kissing her back with equal intensity and lust. He felt her tongue teasing his lips and he opened his mouth slightly, giving her access to his mouth. Their tongues were dancing around each other and lips were caressing.
Rick broke off the kiss to lay kiss after kiss down the side of Connie's mouth, along her jawline, down her neck and onto her collarbone.
With a swift movement he moved his hands down the sides of her body and behind her cupping her buttocks to lift her up to his height. Instinctively Connie wrapped her legs around his waist allowing him to hold her against the wall.
He pressed up against her further and when she heard the soft moan escape from his lips her eyes flew open as if she suddenly remembered they were in the middle of the hallway.
"Stop" she told Rick who had his mouth buried in her neck.
"What?" he asked.
"This is fucking insane" Connie pushed him away and stormed off down the hall leaving a grinning Rick Riley behind her.
He had her right where he wanted her.
Connie avoided anything Riley over the next few days.
She was starting to get good at it too. She'd just listen to the girls in the hallways and whenever they gasped or came out with "Oh my god there he is" she'd just run in the opposite direction.
Rick on the other hand was going out of his way to find Connie. He was getting annoyed that she seemed to be getting one up on him.
"Connie why are you on the floor?" Averman asked his teammate suspiciously upon finding Connie crouched on the floor.
"I dropped something" Connie covered quickly staying in that position until she'd seen Riley and his team pass them.
"Here let me help" Averman offered.
"Nah its okay it was just a pen, nothing special" Connie stood up and brushed her pants off.
"Okay, so Coach has called a last practice today before the game" Averman informed her.
"Great!" Connie replied with as much sarcasm as she could. Practices of late had been brutal and the lack of their captain and Futon was beginning to become more and more unbearable.
"I'll see you there!" Averman took off down the hall towards his next class.
Connie waved and proceeded to her own class.
Practice was hell, a quiet hell.
Orion had drilled into them that they were now three players down with Banksie in Varsity and Charlie and Fulton gone, four if you counted Portman.
Five if you count Jesse Connie thought bitterly as Orion set up what seemed like the millionth drill that afternoon.
"Pick your feet up Moreau, you're faster than this" Orion barked at her.
She wasn't sure who she was madder at, Orion, herself or Rick Riley.
Why does he have to be such a good kisser? She asked herself. That heated kiss in the hallway felt damn good, better than anything she'd ever felt with Guy.
She saw the Varsity team enter the ice led by Mr Suave himself.
Hey at least practice is over she thought.
"Back for more are you?" Cole sneered at the Ducks as they skated past.
"Yeah I heard your momma liked to go back for seconds too" Russ sneered on the way past.
"My momma? Huh?" Cole was confused which made the Ducks including Connie laugh.
He's so stupid Connie thought passing Cole.
And he's so hot she thought as she passed Rick.
"Aw you don't have a remark for me Moreau? That hurts" Rick taunted her on the way past.
"Don't bite Cons, its what he wants" Julie laid a protective arm across Connie's shoulders.
If she only knew how right she was Connie thought with a slight smirk as she caught Rick shooting her a quick wink.
I'm going to kill him she thought knowing her teammates would kill her if they ever found out she'd been making out with the enemy.
"I reaffirm my earlier statement, grab a shovel and bury me here" Goldberg complained collapsing on the bench.
He'd made his debut as a defenseman and he'd never skated so much in his entire life.
"I'm with ya Goldie" Julie collapsed across from him.
One by one the Ducks filtered into the locker room all as tired and as beat as Julie and Goldberg.
They'd skated two players down and in the process had received a thorough ass-whooping by the Avington Bulls.
Eventually they'd managed to clear the locker room in less than 15 minutes, each Duck managing a shower. The boys had the communal shower and the girls had separated blocked off showers.
"Girls we're gonna watch a movie in one of the dorms, you know take our minds off the game. Are yas in?" Russ asked when the girls had emerged from their shower.
"Sure why not" Connie agreed. She needed to take her mind off of things.
"See ya at Dwayne's then" Russ had just decided which dorm they were going to be invading.
"Cool" Julie and Connie replied heading out into the hallway.
"Connie I have to tell you something" Julie looked like she was ready to burst.
"Shoot" Connie gestured for her to proceed.
"Not here, lets go back to my dorm" Julie suggested leading the way.
"This must be big" Connie laughed but followed nevertheless.
When they made it to the dorm Julie ushered her inside and closed it behind her.
"You have to promise you won't get mad and you CANNOT tell anyone, especially the Ducks" Julie looked dead serious.
"Sure" Connie promised.
"You know Scooter? Varsity's goalie?" Julie asked.
Connie thought for a moment and then slowly nodded "Yeah I think so"
"I think I might like him" Julie admitted guiltily.
"You like him?" Connie asked realising it wasn't as stupid as it sounded.
You're the one who was making out with Rick Riley remember.
"I know I'm a horrible Duck but I can't help it, he's actually really nice" Julie placed her hands over her face.
Connie thought for a moment about telling Julie about Rick but Julie's next comment stopped her in her tracks.
"Its not as if I have a crush on Rick Riley, he's the worst one of the bunch"
"As if either of us would ever have a crush on Rick" Connie said trying her hardest to convince herself of what she was saying.
"Yeah that would be dumb, he's such an asshole"
"I know"
"Hey did you know that his girlfriend's cheating on him with Luis?"
"Serious?" Connie was intrigued. Well it wasn't like Rick was being faithful to that cheerleader now was it.
"Yep, I caught her sneaking out of Luis' dorm room last week"
"Oh my god"
"I know!"
"Hey Julie are you in there?" Dwayne called through the closed door.
"Yeah Dwayne come in"
Dwayne entered the room looking a little flustered.
"The guys sent me to get you girls, you're never going to believe this"
Dwayne turned around and walked out the door before realising that the girls weren't following.
"Come on!"
