“Check her out,” I say, my voice drifting into a distant dream of how she looks naked. “She’samazing.”

Ryder continues removing the bloodied bandage around his wrist and yanks his shirt off. “So go over there…”

I feel my heart skip a beat just at the mention of talking to her. I mean, I’m good with the ladies. The hockey career and blessed handsomeness hasn’t ever let me down…

But her?

She’s… she’s…gorgeous.

I feel like the locker room is closing in around me. Without even meaning to, I’m rising up and stepping across the room. I could be floating for all I know. Tunnel-vision pulls at my eyes, dragging me closer and closer. My heart beats faster. It’s a combination of fear and excitement, forcing me forward to stand in front of her.

Our eyes meet, and I’m standing a foot away from her holding my hand out. And that’s when that feelings floods through my body. That’sthemoment. The moment I know that I’m going to marry this woman one day.

Right here. Right now. I’m calling it as sure as an eight-nil flogging on the ice.

This woman will be my wife.

Her arms are folded across her chest but when she looks up at me, her adorable dove grey eyes tell me more about myself than I’ve ever known before. I clear my throat and gulp down. “… Axel Lewis. How about you and me get the hell out of here?”
