Constantine’s belly clenched with a mixture of emotions when she saw Sergej appear. Even with the helmet and all the pads, she still couldn’t get over the dashing and sexy figure he cut.

“Why isn’t he beside Victor?”

“They had a falling out. I told you, Victor hit him.” Vale gripped her arm. “You’re in the stands; you can’t go down there. Short of being on the ice, we can’t get any closer. Trust me, he’s seen you, and he’ll be by to give you a look or twelve.”

She leaned back, unaware she’d been heading toward him. God, I missed him. She had. They’d not had a falling out, and she didn’t want to see him with other women, but it wasn’t like they’d had a huge fight before she’d left. She’d just chosen not to confront him about the bitch in his arms.

“I doubt it.”

Vale choked. “Want to put money on it? I don’t mind taking that from you.”

She hit her friend. “You make more than I do. You should be giving me some, not taking it from me.”

“Not a chance. I’m crazy and psycho, but that’s when I’m on the ice. I’m watching a game; I’m going to be good.”

They had definite differences in the meaning of that word. “Which is why that guy beside you is pissed to no end?”

She shrugged. “Not my fault he is rooting for a subpar team. Our Raptors are going to beat them in this game.”

Constantine covered her mouth and kept her laughter contained. Those two had been going at it since before she’d arrived. She didn’t expect it to stop anytime soon. Not someone who’d gone to many professional sports games, she wasn’t used to this type of behavior between people. Man, woman, child—didn’t seem to matter. All that did was the color of the jersey you wore or the team you rooted for.

When the game commenced, she tried to watch other people, but her gaze continually drifted back to the man wearing number eight on his jersey. As they made it to their side of the ice, she jumped when a man was smashed into the glass, the entire panel reverberating from the force. The man who’d sent him was still up against him, and her heart caught as she saw Sergej. He held her gaze and winked. Then, there was a final shove before he got off the man and returned to hunting down the puck.

“Candy from a baby,” Vale hollered over the roar of the crowd. “That’s one. We hit twelve, and you’re going to owe me.”

Constantine wrapped her arms around her belly and tried her damnedest not to squeal like a little girl. Okay, so that was pretty cool. At the end of the second period, her stomach was in knots for a totally different reason. The score. It was tied up. And both teams were playing so hard and with such skill she was sure the next goal would win the game.

While she couldn’t see Sergej’s eyes when he left the rink, she imagined that the head turn was him stealing another glance in her direction.
