Here’s my chance…
“I was just thinking again about how I told you Easton was my client for that big house up in Cave Creek. But you never saida word that day about how you knew him. Annnd,” I continue, “then you freaking run off and marry the dude.” I sniff and turn my head, playing the wounded bird. “I’m never going to forgive you, by the way, for not having me as your maid of honor.”
“Oh, please.” When I look back over, Claire is rolling her eyes. “Since when do you get into weddings?”
Okay, she has a point there.
“I guess you’re right,” I concede. And then I waggle my brows suggestively as I add, “But I could get into playing pretend wedding night with that hot linemate of Easton’s.”
“Wait, who?” Claire asks, looking genuinely curious. “Do you mean Lennox or Shane?”
“Lennox,” I tell her. And then I throw out, “Maybe you or Easton can arrange for us to meet sometime.”
I’m imagining some double dates or something along those lines, but from the look on Claire’s face, I don’t think we’re heading that way.
Sure enough, she says in a warning tone, “He’s a real player, Madison. And I don’t mean just on the ice.”
Pfft!
Like that’s a problem.
“Eh.” I shrug. “Who cares? I’m kind of a player myself.”
It’s true, and she knows it.
But when Claire gets set on something, there’s usually no changing her mind. She’s stubborn like that.
I know she just wants to protect me, and that’s sweet. But I don’t need protecting from Lennox. I need him to freaking ravage me!
As people begin returning to their seats, readying for the start of the third period, I resign myself to the fact that meeting Lennox is something I’m going to have to do on my own.
That’s fine.
I love a challenge.
I want that man, and I’m going to have him.
And nothing, not even Claire, can stop me.
Okay, Claire’s friend Madison is not just hot. She is fucking fire, my friend. I absolutely must get to know her. And yes, I do mean in a biblical sense.
One thing is for certain—she’ll definitely be screaming out God’s name if I get a hold of her.
Oh, and mine too.
Yeah, I plan to rock that girl’s world.
But first I have to meet her.
And also see if we have some chemistry.
Yeah, that would be good.
I have a feeling, though, that we will.
Fuck, I’ve been thinking about her far too much. From the moment I first laid eyes on her at the season opener a couple of weeks ago, Madison has been starring in my fantasies day and night.
Because she’s been on my mind so much, I didn’t even bother hooking up with the random girl I brought to a charity event the team had us attend before we left for the road trip we’re now finishing up with.
