Lexi watched him go and couldn’t help the little sigh of pleasure at the sight of his retreating back. Zaan was beautiful as far as she was concerned; tall, blond and muscular with a gorgeous backside. His bare back was glorious too, his broad shoulders narrowing at the waist and hips. She’d always had a crush on the young Russian on the team, Vladimir Kolnikov, but he was now engaged to a movie star and probably too old for her anyway. That was before she’d moved to Las Vegas nine months ago and met the new guy, Zaan Hagen. Holy crap, he’d been an eighteen-year-old bundle of hot Norwegian-Canadian hockey-playing sex appeal.

Lexi was eighteen, turning nineteen later this year, but had been too sick to do a lot of dating. She wasn’t a virgin, but had only slept with one guy and it had been an awkward, messy disaster. She’d been determined to lose her virginity before her mastectomy, but poor Jerry Thompson had been sixteen and even less experienced than she was. They’d done the deed but it had been disappointing for both of them and she’d never had the nerve to try again.

It might have been more about how sick chemo had made her and how much she hated her post-cancer body, but it boiled down to almost no experience with sex. She’d finally gotten settled in Las Vegas but now they were leaving for the summer, so if Zaan wanted to take her out on a pity date, she wasn’t too proud to let him. It would be the best thing that had happened to her since the cancer, and she desperately needed something good in her life.

She looked up as her father came into the room.

“Zaan said you two are going for a drive,” he said quietly, sitting on the bench beside her. “Are you sure you’re okay?”

She frowned. “You’re not going to threaten him or try to talk me out of it?”

Rob shook his head. “You’re eighteen, so that would be ridiculous. Zaan and I are teammates. I don’t have to warn him about disrespecting my daughter—or me. My only concern is you.”

“Me?”

“He’s a good-looking kid, a hot shot in hockey right now, and the girls are crawling out of the woodwork… I don’t want you to get attached to a boy who’s not in a place in life to be good to you.”

She shook her head. “I’m not stupid. This is a pity date, so you have nothing to worry about.”

“I think you’re wrong about that, but have a good time.” He leaned over to kiss the top of her head. “Just go thank Suze for having you today, okay?”

“Of course.” She hugged him tightly. “Thanks, Daddy.”
