CHAPTER SEVEN

Brayson

I can't believe that worked.

It's not that I ever have troubles getting a date – obviously I don't – but this bird is a strange one and I really didn't know how things would go. For a moment there I thought I was proven wrong, that she really was a puck bunny who pretended not to know me but the truth easily slipped through. She was just as clueless about me as I was about her. She's not a fan of hockey, not a fan of the game, of me, of my so-called playboy ways. She's just not a fan, period.

Which is why I was surprised she agreed to my proposition. I thought I was going to have to work harder to get her to agree to a date with me but I saw in her eyes this glint of warmth and wanting that wasn't coming through with her defensive words. I saw a woman who was maybe a bit lonely, definitely a bit vulnerable.

And I have to say, that makes me want her more. Obviously I'm attracted to her - she's beautiful without exploiting it and her own filterless charm is such a refreshing change from all the women I meet. But the fact that she's both vulnerable and hardened makes me want to be the man who gets to those layers.

Or, at least, get her in bed. I've always loved a challenge and I know I could make it so fucking good for her. Though I wouldn't believe at first glance, there's something about her that tells me she hasn't been with a man in a while. Maybe it's just pure arrogance for me to say that or wishful thinking, but I think I could be the man to change all that for her.

I have to warn myself not to get too ahead of myself though. She's a bit prickly and it might take more than just some drinks and wooing for it to go beyond dinner. I'll have to play things by ear.

But I've always been good at that.

When eight o'clock rolls around, I have Chuck wait on the street while I go inside her apartment. The neighborhood she lives in is so different from mine downtown. Even though Portland has that certain feel to it, it's this place that really feels legit. The houses and apartments aren't new, but they're lovingly taken care of for the most part, there are lots of young people from all walks of life walking their dogs and pushing their strollers down the street. There's a real authentic vibe to the life here and I think I prefer it to the one of glass ceilings and marble counters. In fact, I know I do.

It's funny, when I get to her apartment and I'm poised outside her door to knock, a rush of nerves goes through me. Fuck. This is something like stepping on the ice, that tremor of anticipation and anxiety that happens when the puck is about to drop.
