But it wouldn’t be because I’d popped an erection getting thrown into the boards.
I chased down every loose puck, made every pass with fucking perfect precision, and shot every chance I got. The other team couldn't keep the fuck up.
In the second period, I scored a goal. And then another. And then another. I got a hat trick, but that wasn’t enough for me. Not with my dream girl watching me. The crowd fuckin' roared as I neared five goals.
But the only person I gave a fuck about was her. I looked up at the stands and saw her on her feet, screaming her sexy heart out.
The energy in the arena grew more and more intense. It was electric, the energy unlike anything I’d ever experienced.
Further proof that my girl was fucking magic.
The crowd was on their collective feet, screaming my name.
And as I scored my final goal, breaking the record for the youngest player to ever score five goals in a game…I pointed to Monroe.
The arena exploded the sound barrier.
But all I saw was her…
And the fact that she was fucking wearing Ari’s fucking number on her back.
CHAPTER 16
MONROE
It happened so fast. One second Lincoln was scoring what seemed like his millionth goal of the night…
And the next, he was right in front of me, banging on the glass and seemingly pointing at my jersey.
The buzzer sounded, signaling the end of the game…and then Lincoln was sucker punching Ari Lancaster in the face, all while pointing to me…continuously.
The crowd around me was giving curious glares, so I innocently glanced around, trying to pretend like the scene had nothing to do with me.
Ari didn’t seem perturbed by the blood dripping down his face. He was laughing as hysterically as Ashley had—about what, I had no idea. But the surreal night had taken a turn into weird town.
Speak of the devil. Ashley appeared next to me.
“Come with me before the crowd gets too crazy. They love when he gets into fights. It’s going to be even more of a mad house since that performance just clinched a playoff spot.”
“Hey, was Daniels pointing at you?” one girl asked as we walked to the exit.
“Ignore her,” Ashley whispered, looking a little nervous as others peppered us with the same question.
I thought sneaking out was more suspicious than just saying no, but what did I know? I didn’t have any experience with anyone being interested in me.
I followed Ashley through a door and down another hallway. This place was like a maze.
“So they clinched the playoffs with that win?”
“Yes,” Ashley said dreamily. “Before Mr. Daniels got here, we hadn’t made it to the playoffs in twenty years. Now we’re basically a shoe-in, as long as he’s on the ice.” She stopped so abruptly I almost ran into her. She turned towards me, her face serious.
“It’s my job to make sure he’s happy, and he doesn’t ever want to leave. Do you understand what I’m saying?”
“Ummm…no?”
She sighed, her friendly demeanor slipping for a second. “I’m saying that we can’t afford anything that won’t make him happy. Is that going to be a problem?”
Alright, I got that he was a big star, but this was getting ridiculous. I felt sorry for any girl who lived to make a man happy just because he was a celebrity.
