CHAPTER 28

ETHAN

It’s been four days, and I can’t stop thinking about Mikayla. She’s in my head night and day. And yeah, it’s driving me crazy.

Sunday was one of the best days I’ve ever had.

All we did was watch movies, play cards, and talk while time disappeared. No big deal. But I’ve never done that with a girl before, and it was epic.

It was epic because it was Mikayla.

She’s not just hot, she’s awesome.

Checking my phone, I grin at her latest string of emojis. Yeah, we’re still playing that game, and I’ve worked out that she’s telling me good luck for tonight. She said she was coming. I have no idea where she’ll be sitting, but I’ll be looking out for her.

“Okay, boys, let’s go! Five minutes!” Coach is clapping his hands, and I shove my phone in my locker, slapping it closed and trying to shake Mikayla from my mind.

I need to focus.

First game of the season. It’s only an exhibition one, but in my mind, it still counts. We’ve got to come out strong, show we’re a contender this year. I want to win, and I want to win good.

Stamping my skates on the ground, I grab my stick and thump it against my chest, closing my eyes and going through my usual pregame ritual. I’ve been doing it since I was six, when I joined my first team and my dad coached us.

He’s given so much to me and this game. It’s his heart and passion that inspired me, his devotion that kept me skating when I got bored during my tweens. He kept pushing and dragged me into high school hockey, where his desire became my own. I owe him so much.

He’s here tonight. He drives up from Denver whenever he can, and I know he’ll be watching me with pride. And so will Mom. The idea makes me smile, as does the thought that no matter how I play, Dad always finds a way to make me feel like I did all right. Even when I puck up—as he likes to call it—he’ll be there with words of advice or comfort.

I’m his star player, and I want to make him proud.

Which is why I can’t go fucking up on this bet. I can’t sleep with Mikayla yet.

I can’t risk having to walk around campus naked. I can’t risk getting arrested or kicked off the team for acting like a douche nugget.

Which means I should probably stop texting Mikayla, thinking about her, hanging out with her.

If she wasn’t so fun to be around, this would be a hell of a lot easier. Why do I have to find her so attractive? I’d love to just slip into the friend zone with her. It’d be awesome. But one look into those eyes and I’m done for. Those lips of hers—I’ve tasted them now, felt them around my cock. There’s no way I can be just friends with this girl. The scary thing is I’d like to be more.

She’s not a quick fuck.
