She’s staring back at me like everything’s changed.
Everything has changed. She’s mine now.
“Can I get a photo?” the fucker asks as he pulls out his phone.
He comes butting over and I push him away.
I grab Norah’s arm, pull her into the bedroom, and close the door.
“I have to see you tonight.”
“Okay,” she says as breathless as I am.
“I have a game,” I say with my pulse racing. “I’ll get you a ticket. Front row.”
Her face drops. “I have to work at the bar tonight.”
Thoughts of calling the owner and purchasing the bar enter my mind. She won’t have to work tonight if I own the place.
“Maybe,” she says as she runs her hand down my chest. “Maybe I have one more ace up my sleeve.”
I grin and then kiss her again, hoping she does because I won’t be able to go one more night without seeing this girl.
My obsession is complete.
CHAPTER SIX
Norah
“Go, Austin!” I shout as he steals the puck and goes flying down the ice toward the opposing team’s net. I’m jumping up and down as he moves past one defender and then passes the puck back to Kemp.
Kemp shoots, but the goalie blocks it. The loose puck bounces on the ice as I clutch onto the stranger’s arm sitting beside me.
Austin is going for it. He grabs the puck with his hockey stick while a player from the other team hooks his other arm. Austin pulls it back and as quick as a strike from a snake, he flicks it between the goalie’s legs. It slides into the net.
The whole arena explodes into cheers as the buzzer goes off and the boys celebrate on the ice. I’m jumping up and down and screaming way too enthusiastically for someone who supposedly doesn’t like hockey.
Austin pops out of the group of hockey players and his eyes immediately find mine. I can feel my heart racing as I smile at him.
He smiles back and then watches me as he skates to the bench.
This is wild. I’m in the front row getting smiles from the hot available superstar rookie of the team.
I really should be trying to keep this relationship professional since he’s my first and only client, but right now, I don’t care.
That sexy smile is lighting up something inside of me and I don’t want to extinguish it just yet.
I have a big crush on this man and it’s only growing the more I see him.
My phone vibrates against my thigh and I pull it out while the coach is speaking to the team.
LAUREN: He just scored!
NORAH: I know! Thx again for taking my shift <3
I feel horrible. Lauren’s final shift was supposed to be last night, and we made a big thing about it, but she was the only one I could turn to. I had to ask.
Lauren is so amazing that she said yes without hesitation. I had taken a bunch of her shifts last year when her dog needed surgery so she was happy to repay me.
