Chapter 13

Beckett

Watching Viktor wilt when I mentioned he was too much made my chest hurt in ways I didn’t expect. Sure, I care about how people feel, but what caught me by surprise was the strength of my reaction.

Same way those scars made me want to ride back to the club last night and rip Zachary Knight’s throat out, especially after Viktor admitted he hadn’t liked it. Which also means, I have to be careful with him, pay attention to what he actually enjoys versus what he may be doing solely for my benefit.

My focus lingers on the brat as he walks into the rink wearing one of my sweatshirts and a pair of my joggers, both a bit too big. But fuck. He looks sexy as hell in my clothes. And I already know I’m not getting that sweatshirt back, not with the way he keeps lifting his arm and smelling the sleeve.

I may have sprayed some of my cologne on it before giving it to him. While physically marking someone isn’t my thing, that doesn’t mean I won’t do it in other ways.

My eyes close as I take a deep breath and shake my head.

This thing with Viktor is a bad idea on so many levels, but staying away isn’t an option, not after fucking him, tasting him, and falling asleep with him in my arms.

Problem is, as much as I want to keep whatever we’re doing a secret, my actions last night were in front of his friends. They all saw me carry him out of the club. Doubt they’d buy the excuse nothing happened, especially because there’s no way Viktor will keep quiet.

And I don’t want him to feel less than, like a dirty secret.

Some of my tension eased when he literally went feral the moment I brought up being worried about losing my job, like he’d nuke the damn planet if they even tried to fire me.

Yeah, he’s intense. And not always in a good way, but there’s no denying his intentions do appear to stem from caring. He just . . . doesn’t always express it in the right ways.

“What’s got you daydreaming?” Rinne hands me a cup of coffee.

“Thanks.” I take a sip, then glance around the rink. “Just taking it in. Some of the guys are finally seeing me as a coach, others . . . not so sure. It’s like I’m still on probation.”

“For what it’s worth, I think you’re doing great, especially with Henneman. Kid’s coming around. Looking more confident out there.”

“What about Nieminen?”

Rinne lets out a full-on belly laugh. “You kidding? That man is so happy to share the migraine this team gives him. Yeah, he’s snippy. But more like the way my wife just looks at me and says, ‘They’re all yours now’ the moment I get home because she’s had enough.”

Not sure what that’s like, the having kids part, though I used to think about it some.

Taking another sip of coffee, I look over at Rinne. He’s a good dad from what I can tell.
