Chapter 20

There really was only one person for Elizabeth to ask about being the perfect hockey girlfriend. Maddy came around and dropped off a selection of teeny T-Shirts.

Sam arrived on time to pick her up. She liked that about him.

He stood on her doorstep in a ball cap and holding up a hockey jersey. “Okay, you can say no, but I thought maybe it would look good if you wore…” He cleared his throat. “I mean, you don’t have to, but it would make us look…would you mind wearing my number?” He winced. “Too much?”

“Way ahead of you.” Maddy smirked and appeared behind Elizabeth. “Show him.”

Elizabeth opened her arms to show him her T-shirt. Figure hugging and the Titan’s colors, the T-shirt played peek-a-boo with her belly above her jeans. But the best part. She whirled around to show him the back. “Ta da.”

“Um…Lizzie?”

“What?” She peered over her shoulder, nervous about his tone. “Do I have the wrong number? Maddy assured me—”

“No.” His tone carried a warm undertone. His eyes hadn’t moved off her ass. “The number is perfect, but who the hell would notice that anyway.”

Elizabeth couldn’t resist preening a bit as she turned back to the front. “You think?”

“Oh, yeah.” His gaze strayed to her breasts. “That’s a much better shirt than I had in mind.”

“Hey, Sam,” Randy yelled from right below. He must have been standing there the whole time. “Watching the game tonight?”

“Sure am.” Holding out the jersey, Sam said, “You got a home sweater?”

“I do not, Sam.” Randy sounded way too eager.

Dropping the jersey over the edge, Sam chuckled. “Now you do.”

“Wha—” Randy gasped.

Safely zipped into her coat, Elizabeth locked her apartment. “So where are we sitting? I’m sure the team has a box.”

“A few.” He grabbed her mittened hand. “But we’re sitting with the fans.”

“What?” Elizabeth couldn’t believe him. “Won’t you get mobbed?”

“Nah.” He didn’t look even a little concerned by the prospect. “Canadian fans are chill, but in case someone wants to be a tough guy, I’m in disguise.” He tapped his cap, which shaded most of his face.

“Not much of a disguise.” Elizabeth didn’t hide her disdain.

Sam gave her a roguish grin that brought a flush to every part of her. Every. One. “Lizzie, nobody is going to be looking at me. Not when you’re standing right there.”

The strangeness of their situation struck her. This was Sam looking at her with those bedroom eyes and flirting with her. The same Sam she’d been having a vendetta against since they were babies.

Sam jogged down a couple of steps, stopped and looked up at her. “What’s wrong?”

“Not wrong exactly.” She came down slower. “More weird.”

He cocked his head and shoved his hands in his coat pockets. “What’s weird?”

“This.” She motioned between them. “Whatever it is that we’re doing here. Sometimes it strikes me that less than a month ago I was ready to remove your balls with a spoon.”

“Damn, Lizzie.” He shuddered. “Remind me not to piss you off again.”

“Where’s the fun in that?” The moment passed, and she stopped on the step above him.
