THREE WEEKS LATER
Iām so annoyed and offended right now.
Itās one thing to be shot and for the whole team to butcher my championship and bragging rights, but itās another thing entirely when I donāt get to play for months.
Meaning seasonfinitofor me.
Goodbye, my college hockey career. You were fun while you lasted.
Everyone better remember the absolute legend that is the leagueās prince.
Now, Iām reduced to a mere spectator with Vee and her sister, Depeche Mode.
We just finished watching a game where Marcus was simply an attention whore.
Does hehaveto look so hot while being rugged, sweaty, and a violent machine? Jude and Kane targeted him like crazy the entire time. Vee, thesupposedāpacifist,ā was screaming with excitement whenever Jude checked him.
Big man better count his days.
Listen, I donāt like Marcus checking Jude, but I totally donāt like it the other way around either.
The prick didnāt seem too bothered, though. Every once in a while, he would stare at me. Once, he pointed at me after he scored, and Vee thought he was taunting me.
He wasnāt.
Last night, he fucked me slowlyāheās only ever done that recently, no matter how much I tell him Iām feeling fine.
āYouāre not fine. The doctor said no exertion,ā he said, pulling me to the crook of his arm.
Thatās where Iāve fallen asleep every night since I was discharged from the hospital. In the crook of his arm, kissing his throat softly or biting it, because Iām a vampire that way.
As I was nibbling on his neck, he said that if he wins tonight, I should move in with him full-time. Not in his momās house, but another place.
Only the two of us.
āJust because my highness isnāt out there doesnāt mean you can win. Youāre underestimating Kane and Jude.ā
āYouāre underestimating how far Iād go to have you all to myself, baby,ā he whispered in my ear, then bit down on the shell.
Apparently, Iām the one underestimating Marcusās resolve after all. Despite Kane and Judeās prowess and double-team effort, Marcus ends the game with one final goal just as the buzzer echoes in the air.
Talk about goal-oriented.
The spectators clap for the Vipersā legendary performance. It was a challenging game, mainly because Marcus was every-fucking-where.
Yes, he hasthattype of inhuman stamina.
And even though Iām in the mood to bitch at our team for losing, Iām more distracted by the sight of him.
āPres, you coming?ā Vee asks me as Daphne grabs her arm.
āYou go ahead.ā I grin. āMeet you outside, Auntie Vee.ā
She smiles. āThat will never stop sounding a bit weird.ā
āHey, listen, Jude keeps taunting me that when he marries you, heāll be my uncle, and thatās cruel. Weird is better than cruel. Just saying.ā
She bites the corner of her lip. āHe said that?ā
