My arm is twisted in the air by Kane, who looks like he’ll murder me.
And the whole thing just makes me laugh.
They’re both predictable.
“My oh my. I’m honored by the warm welcome.”
Kane twists my arm harder, and I groan.
“Don’t,” Dahlia says. “Let him go.”
“You defend him again, and I’ll break his arm,” Kanereplies, still glaring at me. “Just say one more fucking word, Dahlia, and I swear he’ll never play another game in his life.”
I glance back at Preston, whose face looks murderous under the dim light. He better be murderous because he doesn’t like the idea of his “bestie” threatening my hockey career like that.
“I’msoscared. Save me?”
“You better shut the fuck up if you know what’s best for you,” Preston says in a deadpan voice.
“My heart is pounding…from absolute boredom. Hey, sweetheart.” I lick my lip, looking at Dahlia. “I think we should get out of here. You said you couldn’t wait to ride my cock.”
Preston strangles me in a chokehold as Kane twists my arm.
But I don’t give a fuck about Kane. Not when Preston isbreakingfor me. His wall is chipping at the edges, and he’s panicking, and there’s only one way he knows how to react.
With violence.
It’s why he’s almost strangling me to death now.
More.
I need him to break some more.
Dahlia releases a sigh. “This is such a hassle. I’m going to find someone else.”
Then she starts walking out, and Kane releases me and follows her, leaving me alone with my favorite homicidal maniac.
We’re not all alone, considering all the people and chaos surrounding us, but we might as well be.
As my gaze flits back to his, I strain, “I know you miss me, but I prefer a kiss over choking.”
His eyes glitter in a dark, enchanting green. “Do you want to die? Actually, don’t answer that. You look like you do, and I’m happy to oblige.”
And then he drags me behind him as I laugh.
Let’s see if he can ignore me after I’m done with himtonight.

PRESTON
This is not what I meant when I mentioned ending the dangerous fixation.
But hear me out. This motherfucker Marcus has so much audacity that needs to be dealt with and eradicated once and for all.
Appearing inmytown. Inmyclub. Right under my fucking nose?
Yeah, that’s unforgivable.
