âIcanât believe I let you talk me into this.â
âThink of how cute youâre going to look skating.â
âMaybe to you,â I grumble.
âAdmit it. You think Iâm hot when Iâm playing hockey.â Troyâs smile lights up his entire face as he laces up the last of my skates.
âI will do no such thing.â I fight the laugh that threatens to burst free.
âYup, totally sexy when Iâm playing.â Troy taps my foot. âNow I get to see you out on the ice.â
âIâm going to be terrible.â
Troy and I are the only two people here. Itâs late. Later than the rink is usually open. I guess itâs one of the perks of being on the hockey team.
âIâll make sure you donât fall.â
Troy pops up on his skates with ease and grabs my hands. Iâm like a baby horse learning to walk. Hobbling my way over to the open gate, Troy steps back onto the ice with me in tow.
âHoly shit!â
If Troy wasnât holding on to me, no doubt I would be flailing my arms and on the ice in under two seconds.
âKeep your balance centered. If you lean back, youâll fall.â
âHow do I know if Iâm doing that?â
Troy skates closer to me, pulling me into a standing position. He moves my hands to his shoulders. âHold on here. This will help.â
âHow am I supposed to move my feet?â
At this point, Troy is just pulling me across the ice. My own feet are doing nothing.
âPush off with the back and glide into it.â
âOh, thatâs it?â I laugh, looking down at my feet.
âLook at me. Looking down makes it harder to see where youâre going.â
âAs opposed to looking at you?â
Troyâs smile is easy, and itâs one that Iâm learning to love. âI should make it easy for you not to focus on your feet then.â
âFine.â
I lock eyes with Troy. I try to ignore how warm his hands feel on my hips as they carry us over the ice. Iâm hardly doing anything as we glide over the glassy surface.
âIs it getting easier?â Troy leans in closer, his lips ghosting over mine.
âNo.â
âItâs not?â
I shake my head. âHow am I supposed to concentrate on what my legs are doing when Iâm focused on you?â
âI am pretty distracting.â
âYou wouldnât make a good teacher.â I laugh.
âThen itâs a good thing I donât plan on going into the profession.â
âOr I should put a paper bag over your head so I can try to learn.â
Troy laughs, echoing around the empty rink. âThen I guess I shouldnât tell you to picture me naked to make it easier?â
âYou do not do that during tutoring sessions, do you?â
âIâd get nothing done if I did.â Troy pulls back from me and I keep following him. âBut I got you to skate on your own.â
âYou did?â I look down at my feet before glancing back up at Troy. âHoly shit! Iâm doing it!â
âLooks like the student has become the master.â
âIâll be coming for your starting spot any day now.â
âYouâd look good in a jersey, Ang.â
I push off on my skates like Troy taught me and try to get closer to him.
