Chapter Twelve

Brandon

“I don’t think she wants to talk to you,” Kay said, closing the folder the moment Fanny was out of sight and fixing Brandon with an intense stare.

He turned to follow her.

Kaydon grabbed his arm, stalling him. “What are you doing, man?”

“Mind your own business.” Brandon tried to shrug off his hand.

The fucker just held on. Damn hockey players and their giant hands. “Dude,” Kay snapped, shaking him slightly. “What are you doing?”

“She’s mine,” Brandon hissed, finally managing to break Kaydon’s grip. He started walking after her.

“Doesn’t seem like she wants to be.”

That had him stopping and turning around. “She’s just scared because—”

Fuck. It was too complicated a conversation to have in this moment, especially when Kay didn’t know any of their history.

“Scared why?” Kaydon’s voice was deadly, his expression doubly so, and Brandon had the notion that he was seeing what the other man’s face might look like just before he mowed down an opponent on the ice. “What did you do?” His words grew even icier. “Did you hurt her?”

Brandon bit back a curse.

“Not like you’re thinking,” he said, and when Kaydon grabbed his shoulder, fingers digging in fiercely, Brandon knew that even though Kay was new to the Gold, Fanny had already earned his respect. Just as he knew Kaydon would throw down to protect her—and not just because she was a member of the Gold, but because Kay had seen the woman Fanny was, seen how much love and care she deserved.

Which was why he took thirty seconds to lay it out for him.

Kaydon already knew about the cancer. When Kay’s mom had been diagnosed a couple of years ago, they’d talked it out, and Brandon had shared his own experience, but Kay didn’t know about Fanny and everything that had gone down.

So, Brandon told him in those thirty seconds, understanding full well that the tale might end up on the Gold’s gossip train, that the team might intervene, and the intervention might not be in his favor.

He wasn’t a safe choice.

But given a chance, he would love Fanny with every fiber of his being. He would love her until he was in the ground, or until that love was forcibly taken away from him. Brandon couldn’t make guarantees. Fuck knew, he’d lived enough life to understand that, but he also knew that he wouldn’t let her go without a fight.

To do that, Kaydon needed to understand.

And maybe the rest of the team needed to understand that as well.

“Fuck,” Kay breathed when Brandon finished his short, sharp explanation. “That’s a fucking mess, man. You still love her?”

“I do,” Brandon said, starting to move past Kaydon. He was probably already too late. Fan had probably already drifted off. “And she still feels something for me. So, I’m not letting her go. I’m going to fight for her and—”

“And if she doesn’t want that?”

Brandon stopped.

“Will you let her go?”

Brandon dropped his head, staring at his feet, knowing the answer and knowing it probably wasn’t the one Kaydon wanted to hear.
