It’s been six weeks since I met Deacon’s family and outside of a couple Tuesday night family dinners, I’ve spent more time with his mother and sister than I have him—the three of us having planning luncheons and girls’ spa days quite a few times while Deacon, Declan, and their father Daniel are out of town with the team. Between his back office work, practices, and a full travel schedule, we’ve barely seen each other outside of our nightly chats.

I think we both felt something from that kiss in his family’s garden because we’ve both been a little weird since then, tiptoeing around feelings and sticking to business which mostly revolves around the team and the GM position.

I love my new job with the Rangers and have found the players to be respectful, but also curious about me. Once news of Deacon’s engagement hit the press, he made a point of coming to the medical facility a few times a week to drop in on me. But we’re always surrounded by other people, so outside of a head nod or a peck on the cheek, we haven’t had a minute alone.

My phone rings at nine p.m. Deacon is like clockwork, always prompt on his commitments, but never committing to things he can’t control. He’s yet to fail me, even if some of our conversations are cut short.

“Hello, handsome,” I muse. I started calling him handsome after dinner with the family when he repeatedly called me baby, deciding a pet name was a smart habit to take on. We don’t want to slip in front of his grandfather, whose ever watchful gaze is often on me.

So far, the ruse is working. We’ve kept Deacon’s uncle and cousin out of the organization and focused on the Scott Real Estate Group, the family’s other billion-dollar enterprise. Deacon hasn’t been told he can take the GM position yet, but he hopes that’s coming soon.

Really, there is no other choice.

“Hey, baby. How was your day?”

“Fine. It’s quiet with the team out of town.” It’s Wednesday night, and Deacon, with the rest of the players, left this morning for tomorrow night’s game on the east coast. They’ll be home Friday afternoon and are taking a well-deserved weekend off. This will be their third game of the season, and they’re expected to end the week at 3-0, the team even stronger than predicted during pre-season.

“I’m sure. You should travel with us once in a while.”

“That’s Travis’s job.” I shake my head. There are six full-time massage therapists on staff, only two of us specializing in trigger point therapy. Travis has been with the team for three years and loves the travel part of the job.

“Who says we can’t have two traveling therapists?” Deacon turns away from the camera propped up on a countertop and pulls off his shirt. This isn’t the first time he’s gone shirtless in front of me, but my mouth waters and fingertips itch every time he does. Part of me wants to cat
