Orgasms were amazing, right?
I looked into Alonso’s rattlesnake eyes and told myself to keep those last few comments to myself.
“I have a meeting,” Alonso said. “This was a good talk. I want this in motion right now.” Alonso slammed his hand to my back again. “Maverick. You’re my guy. You’re the goalie. You’re the thinker. You work better than anyone else under pressure. That’s your job as a goalie. And I trust you. I trust my gut when it comes to you.”
Alonso gave a nod and left the locker room.
I had no idea what just happened.

“What’s got you stressed?”
“This wedding gig,” Madison finally confessed.
I pointed at her and smiled. “Got you to talk at least.”
“I hate you, Mav.”
“So, tell me what’s got you worried, sweetie.”
“The whole thing,” Madison said. “Beginning to end. This is all on my back, you know? It’s just me. And it’s a big deal. I wasn’t looking for this. She came to me. And, you know, if this becomes a thing for me…”
