It’s the boost I need. A flurry of adrenaline surges and, suddenly, I’m tearing across the ice in my mind.
I break out of my whimsical revelry to Eddie’s blazing eyes. “Are you two in love?”
“The most in love,” Sutter says because everything’s a competition to him.
“Milton, why did you call me in here for this?”
“Sir, my emails. Did you see my emails?”
Eddie clears his throat. “They were interesting emails.”
I bet. Especially if he saw some of the ones I know Sutter took of me in kinky sex positions. Oh God. Eddie Arovini’s seen me with my legs spread wide, wrecked after taking Sutter’s cock. How fucking embarrassing.
“But the only reason I entertained this meeting was to sort out whatever the fuck’s going on. You’ve been emailing us and the board all season.”
“Well, it’s not straightforward. I have a presentation for you. It begins with understanding why people go to war,” Milton says.
“All I see are two men in love. I don’t know what possessed you to fall in love with someone from the Copperheads, Alderchuck, but that’s your prerogative.”
“I question my life choices every day, sir. Ow!” Sutter crushes my hand. “We’re happy, though.”
“But the riots. The riots are because of these two. If you’ll just listen to my presentation.”
“I’d like to hear it,” Maxwell says. “I’d love a good excuse to make the Arovinis pay for the damage to my city. Unless Mr. Arovini wants to discuss other options?”
Yeah. We’re definitely in the middle of a real-life soap opera, and I’m here for it.
Eddie takes a stuttered breath, but then he finds his composure.
“Give me a break, Mayor Elkington. Unless someone can come up with substantial proof that these two were the riot’s ringleaders, that’s not going to make it in court no matter how many judges you have on your payroll.”
Oh, so it’s from Maxwell to Mayor Elkington now, is it?
Maxwell smirks. Fuck. Is this how they flirt? He takes a step closer to Eddie. “I have a lot of judges on my payroll. I’m sure I could stack the jury, too.”
“Of course, you’d play dirty. It’s the only way you can win. I hope you enjoy your life of crime, Elkington.Alone.”
Maxwell continues to stare at Eddie as if he’s the eighth wonder of the world.
I raise my hand. “Am I in trouble for anything, sir?”
Milton shoots out of his chair. “If you’re not going to reprimand him for the riots, he should at the very least be reprimanded for not obeying team protocol. He was told not to engage in activities with Mr. Sutter. Clearly, he did.”
“There’s nothing in any policy I know of that prohibits a consensual relationship between two players. Unless you made rules the club wasn’t aware of?”
Milton shuts his trap. Good. I’ve heard enough from him for a lifetime.
“Does this mean I’m not getting kicked off the team?”
“If you’d be willing to stay after such maltreatment, we’d love to keep you, Casey, with sincere apologies for the invasion of your personal life. If you’d like to take legal action, it would be within your rights, and I would understand.”
“Um, nah. I’m good.”
“I assure you it won’t happen again. Milton, you’re fired.”
“But—”
Maxwell hoists Milton from his seat.
