“Levi,” I gasp, tears streaming down my face. “Stop it, please, or I will piss on you.”
“I’m not afraid of a little water sports, Abs. You know that.”
Levi’s phone buzzes somewhere under me, but it doesn’t help my cause. He doesn’t stop the onslaught of tickles, just slides his hand to where his phone is tucked into his shorts and holds it out so Landon can see.
“Answer it, butdo notlet her know we know what she did,” Landon snaps. “We can’t fire her yet—we are locked into our contract. We need these deals to go through first.”
My entire mood sours. They are talking about the devil, or whore-devil more like it.
Landon walks over and squats down, lifting me from his brother’s lap. Levi jumps up, and Landon takes his brother’s place, pulling me into his body. “We will make this right, Abby. I promise you. But we have to do it the right way—our careers are on the line now.”
“I get it, but knowing it’s her pisses me off. I can’t help it.”
“You shouldn’t have to tolerate her, and that’s on us to fix,” he says, pulling me in tighter, and I bury my head in his shoulder. “She will get what’s coming to her. I want to talk to a few of my friends who she represents first and get a bigger picture to use against her.”
“I will be there soon... I don’t know—when I get there... I’m not being short with you. I just happen to be looking at the most gorgeous woman in the world right now, and to be totally honest with you, I would much rather be here... It’s not mean, it’s the truth, so take it however you will.” Levi smiles at me as he ends the call. “I have a fucking photoshoot for some new brand of drink. I have to go, is that okay?”
I nod my head. “Levi, you don’t have to ask me if it’s okay. This is your job, and I respect you both for how well you have done. Don’t let some money-grabbing whore ruin that as well.”
Levi squats down in front of me, placing a hand on either side of my face. “I know I don’t have to ask, but it will be a cold day in hell before I let that woman destroy the chance of having you back in my life. Honestly, I would walk away from hockey before I ever let that happen again. You are family, Abs, and we shouldn’t have let you go so easily the first time.”
“Levi Henry Kane, you take that back! You will not give up hockey. It’s the one thing you are fucking amazing at doing.”
Levi smiles and leans in, pressing a warm kiss to my lips. “Fuck, I love you, Abby, but there are things I am way better at doing.”
I chuckle as Landon pushes his brother’s head away from me. “Will you go already? Your stupidity is rubbing off on me.”
“Okay, okay.” Levi laughs, pushing himself up to his full height. “Don’t have too much fun without me.”
With a wink, he turns and walks away, and my eyes are glued to his ass until he is out of my bedroom.
“Sooo,” I say, drawing out the word. “What are your plans today?”
“Besides eating my body weight in food and hitting the gym later? Not a lot.”
I smile up at him. “Feel like taking some photos with me for my page?”
He lifts me from his lap and tosses me back onto my bed, bringing his large body over mine and hovering above me. “Should we do pictures like this? Or...” He throws my leg over his shoulder. “Maybe like this.”
I wrap my hands around him and grab a handful off his ass. “We would need to cover this—the entire Landon Kane fandom would know it’s you straight away.”
Landon laughs and uses his elbows to prop himself up. “Is that so, huh?”
“Yup, the underwear spread you did that just released will have the women of the world throwing their underwear on the ice in no time.”
“I knew Levi should have done that one. I won’t ever live it down.”
I snort. “He really should have, seeing as he doesn’t shy away from female attention. We should do these photos while you tell me all about your crush on your coach.”
Landon groans as he pushes himself off me. “I donothave a crush on him. We have some unresolved sexual tension.”
He stands and holds out his hand, so I take it and he pulls me to my feet. “Did I also mention he hated me?”
“Oh, so you were like Levi and Jagger on the ice. Do you think they have unresolved sexual tension?”
Landon laughs so hard that it makes me laugh. “Oh, please ask him when he gets back.”
“How hot would a hockey orgy be between rivals? I mean bending them over the side of the rink, pulling the back of their pants down, and fucking them hard and fast. Now I would pay double to watch that, and I already only watch for one reason.”
