“Okay, yeah, uh, you have my number.” I give her finger guns and then a little piece of me dies that I’m fucking this up so badly.
I turn and skate off the ice as fast as I can go. When I get to the gate, she calls after me, “Hey, Rauthruss.”
I compose myself, ball my hands into fists, and turn.No finger guns, asshole. “Yeah?”
She skates to me, stopping short and spraying me with ice. Amusement twinkles in her green eyes. “I’ll skate you for it.”
A thousand pounds lifts off my shoulders and I bite back a smile “You want to race me?”
“If you win, then you get my heart.”
“And if I lose?”
She launches herself forward and hugs me. Air fills my lungs and I breathe in all of her.
“I love you so much. I’m so sorry I left. Never again. I’ll prove it however you want me to, as many times as you want me to.”
“You already own my heart. I don’t know when it happened, but I am madly in love with you too.”
I smash my lips to hers. We stumble around on the ice, kissing and hugging. It’s impossible to get close enough. I need her. I want her. Forever.
“We might need to get out of here because I have a feeling getting my balls stuck to the ice would fucking hurt.”
She laughs into my mouth. “Take me to bed then, Rauthruss, or the bathroom maybe.” She pulls back and gives me finger guns.
I groan. “I’m never living that down, am I?”
“Definitely not in this lifetime.”
And that’s exactly how long I intend to keep her. This lifetime and all the others, too.

“Do you guys want to watch a movie or something?” Adam asks from the doorway while giving me finger guns.
I flip him off for mocking me. I’m the dumbass that told him and I really regret it. The guys mock me with it hourly. Whatever. I got the girl, so what if I had to make an ass of myself to do it? I’m sure it won’t be the last time.
“Nah, I have to watch some creepy ass documentary.”
A pillow hits me on the side of the head. “You said you wanted to watch it.”
“I said I wanted to spend the night in bed naked. Not the same thing.”
“This.” She holds up her laptop. “Leads to this.” She waves a hand in front of her.
Adam grins at Sienna and then nods. “I’ll leave you guys to it then.”
“Oh wait.” Sienna stops him before he leaves. “Did Reagan tell you about the party Friday?”
“Yeah, she mentioned it. She said you wanted me to spread the word.”
“Yes, please. All the hockey players.”
“Thinking of trading me in?” I ask with the lift of a brow.
“No, but where the hockey team goes, others follow, and Josie wants this party to be epic.”
