Chapter Fifteen
Practice could not come soon enough.
Walker had spent the whole weekend texting with Eva, and the thought of seeing her again was the only thing that had gotten him through being stranded at Wellshire for three days. After that insane lake effect storm, when the sun finally rose Monday morning and Henny showed up to dig the truck out of the parking lot, Walker wanted to run into the street and kiss the rock-salted pavement.
But now that he was on the ice, geared up and ready to go, his insides were a tangled damn mess. The roads were fine, so why was she late? Eva was never late. Their texts had gotten pretty steamy last nightâwas she freaked out? Did he push her too far? Maybe she was regretting whatâd happened Friday. What theyâd done.
Or maybe youâre acting like a fifteen-year-old boy who just got his first blowjob, asshole.
Walker checked his phone once more, then dropped it into his bag, doing another lap around the rink to work off some of his restless energy. On his third time around, she appeared, stepping out onto the ice in her skates, still trying to zip up her fleece.
âSorry,â she said, her cheeks pink. Her red hair was everywhere, falling down past her shoulders in damp waves. âI had to drop off⦠something. At my sisterâs place. Roads are still a little dodgy.â
âIâm glad youâre safe,â he said.
âYou, too.â She finally smiled, and up came the damn sunshine. âI bet your mom was sad to see you go this morning.â
âNot as sad as Paulette.â
âIâll bet.â Eva cracked up. Walker had told her the whole story over text, updating her with Pauletteâs antics all weekend. âYouâre such a heartbreaker, forty-six.â
âWhat can I say? Ladies love me.â
âEspecially the blue-haired set.â
âAnd the red.â Walker reached forward, brushing the hair out of her face. He couldnât help it; his fingers ached to touch her.
Evaâs breath caught, though Walker wasnât sure if it was his words or his touch that had given her a start.
âYouâre beautiful, princess,â he said, trailing his fingers across the silky-smooth skin of her cheek. She closed her eyes and leaned into his touch, taking a moment to catch her breath.
âTell me what youâre thinking about,â he said.
âYou,â she whispered. It sounded like a confession, like sheâd been caught doing something she shouldnât have been.
Despite Walkerâs best efforts to stay cool, his heart hammered in his throat. âHmm. I guess I made quite an impression. And look, itâs only Monday.â
Eva laughed, but the joke made her open her eyes, made her pull back. Walker regretted it immediately.
âThatâs not what I mean.â Her smile faded into a sigh, and Walker braced himself for the gut-punch of rejection. âYeah, you made an impression. But we still have a job to do, forty-six. A big one.â
Walker cracked a smile. âTrust me when I say Iâm highly motivated to keep impressing you. With a big one.â
âIâm serious!â She smacked him playfully on the chest, her eyes sparkling. âI need you at a hundred percent.
