You okay?

The read notice appears on the screen but she doesn’t message me back.

Chapter Twenty-One

I had to leave before the game was over. I couldn’t handle the sight of all that blood on the ice. My dad’s words were taunting me in my head: If you let any of my players touch you, that ice will be painted red with their blood, and it’ll be your job to come up with a creative way to explain how a whole team of NHL players went missing.

It was Liam’s blood I imagined covering that ice, not the player’s from the opposing team—the guy who obviously did something to piss off my brother. Instead, I pictured Liam’s body sprawled out on the rink, a pool of blood surrounding him because I did let him touch me. And I did let him kiss me. Twice.

I’ve been able to hold strong ever since, though. I’m not going to give into my urges, no matter how crazy this need to have him is getting. Sometimes I feel like I’m burning up from the inside out. But I don’t have a choice; he’s not for me.

He’s been doing good too. He attends every PR opportunity I’ve set up for him without complaint. I haven’t had to go out in the middle of the night again to find him and make sure he doesn’t end up splashed all over the front page of the tabloids. Which I’m thankful for, because I really do love my sleep.

I’m now at home, in bed, with Casper on my lap. I’ve read Liam’s message a hundred times over but I’m not sure how to respond. The fact that I had the image of him being the one bleeding on the ice and how much that terrified me is well… terrifying me.

What does that mean?

I can’t unpack the feelings I’m having for him. I thought that it was crazy chemistry mixed with strong sexual attraction, but when I envision him being hurt, I physically ache. That’s more than just wanting to bang the guy. Maybe if I do take him up on that offer to jump on his dick, it’ll help get this infatuation out of my system, and we can go on pretending it never happened. Just like we’ve been pretending those kisses never happened.

As I’m staring at his message, my phone lights up with his name flashing across the screen. Shit, why is he calling me? I look over at the time. It’s nine p.m. on a Friday after a game. Most of the guys will be out celebrating their win.

“Hello,” I answer the call.

“Aliyah, where are you?”

“Home. Why?” I ask. I can hear club music in the background.

“You’re supposed to prevent me from making stupid mistakes, right?”

“I am.”

“Then you need to come and help me out.”

“What are you doing? Where are you?”

“I’m at that bar ICE with the team. There are puck bunnies everywhere, and I mean everywhere,” he stresses the last word.

“So, why is that my problem? You’re a big boy, Liam.
