Raph

Her diamond ring sparkled in the twinkly lights, and I let my smile sneak out.

Thankfully, Beth was too distracted by all the activity around us to notice my sneakiness—or my plotting.

From the moment my woman lowered the drawbridge, allowed me to move inside the thick protective walls of her heart, and gave me all that is her, I had been living a dream.

Romance and balls being busted.

A sweet woman at home and a scary businesswoman who had refocused on herself, her life and future and going after what she wanted.

What she deserved.

Comfortable with pursuing that because of me.

Which made me feel like a fucking superhero, I couldn’t lie.

The best part was she no longer had feelings of guilt because she’d grown up well off—even though I could—and had—made the case that just because she had money in the bank and food in the fridge, being raised by nannies and people who didn’t care about more than a paycheck and then shipped off to boarding school as soon as she was old enough shouldn’t have really left a lot of room for guilt.

Shit parents were shit parents.

It didn’t matter how much money was involved.

She’d survived. She’d fought to build a life that was filled with love and laughter and family not built out of blood.

And she never let herself forget that she could also use the resources she had to do good.

And she did good.

Currently with the Breakers Foundation—working with the team’s community outreach arm to raise money for local schools.

Just this year alone she’d used her powers to fund one-to-one laptops for all students in the district, and had helped open a vocational program for kids who wanted to get certified in a variety of jobs—from HVAC to medical assisting to vet tech positions.

Tangible things to help kids.

Because she had a big heart.

Because she’d once been a kid who was forgotten—and had bonded with a group of other kids who were also forgotten.

And she wasn’t stopping.

Tonight we were at a benefit for the Breakers Foundation, and I was one of many hockey players posing for selfies and signing jerseys and talking up the items we’d donated to the silent auction.

My woman had called on connections old and new, and the guys on the team—and others, including the Gold and the Sierra, and the newest addition to the league, the Eagles—had shown up for her.

But beyond getting players and donors with deep pockets who weren’t afraid to part with their cash to come, she had truly outdone herself. The event was beyond popular, tickets to the public had sold out in minutes, and when we all arrived, it was to find the evening well-organized, with plenty of food, drinks, and things to do.

Prime that money to be donated.

Case in point?

My Pass with a Player package in the silent auction was up to six figures.

So, I knew the kids were going to be set, and I couldn’t wait to see what Beth did with the funding.

It would be great because my woman was fucking impressive…

She was also distracted.
