Between Sawyer showing up on my doorstep and knowing Carter was staying down the hallway from me, I had a very restless night, filled with strange dreams and a good amount of time spent staring into the dark.

The lack of sleep made me grumpy. My bad mood was amplified when I discovered Carter Murphy sitting in my office, messing with my cup of pens.

“What do you want?” I asked, dropping down into my chair.

“Another conditioning coach,” he said, smirking at me.

“Can’t help you there,” I said. “Now get out of my office.”

“You’re easy to rile up.” He leaned across my desk, and I scooted my chair back until it hit the wall. The blue of his eyes and scent of his cologne enveloped me.

“What do you need?” I asked.

He twirled a pen and I wanted to snatch it out of his hand. “Some extra time on the ice without the skating brat.”

“And when would you propose we do that? I have no desire to be at this rink all night and day. It’s best for us to be on the ice at the same time.”

“It’s annoying.”

“Deal with it. Shelby is a good kid.”

“She needs more speed to get more height in her jumps.”

“I know that. The question is how do you know that?” I pulled my chair back to my desk again and stared at him.

“I just do,” he snapped and abruptly stood. “I have to go.”

He was almost out my door when he smashed into Sawyer. They stared at each other for a few seconds until Sawyer narrowed his eyes, and Carter let out a gasp and shoved Sawyer out of the way.

Sawyer leaned against the doorframe and stared at Carter’s retreating form.

“Hello, Soy Sauce? What’s going on?”

“Not sure yet,” he said. “Déjà vu, maybe?” Finally he shrugged and sat in the chair Carter had previously occupied.

“That guy can ruin my day in five seconds flat,” I said.

“Was that?” He furrowed his brow and picked up the pen Carter had been twirling in my face.

“Yep, Mr. Carter Murphy, asshole extraordinaire.”

“Hmmm.”

His reaction was a bit confusing, but when he said nothing, I changed the subject. “So … welcome to my grand office,” I said, spreading my arms wide.

He snapped out of his stupor and swiveled in his chair. “It’s interesting. I particularly like the half-dead plant. Adds so much to the décor.”

“I don’t know why that’s in here. I do not have a green thumb. I’m more like the frost queen. I kill plants by walking past them.”

“Yes, darling, that you do,” he said. “So that was the bad boy?”

“He’s driving me mental,” I said. “I’ve barely been around him and I want to kill him.”

“I think you want to jump his bones.” He leaned back in the chair and yawned. “I’d like to grab those blond curls and….” He fanned himself.

I opened my mouth to disagree with his statement, but thoughts of straddling Carter’s lap and tangling my fingers in his hair filled my head.

“Rink management okayed my project,” he said nonchalantly.
