“A little tense, but I made something for you.” She grinned and held up her sign.

He laughed. “So, how long do I have?”

“Finish the game and start the clock. You might want to skip any post-game interviews if you want to see this shirt on the floor.” She put down her sign and blew him a kiss. “For those watching today, if you don’t have your tickets for thePatchwork Pixie, what are you waiting for? Rayden volunteered to be the troll prince, and I am one of the pixies. It will definitely be a show to remember.” She looked back at Rayden. “See you at home, birthday boy.”

She disconnected the call, and Marshall was biting his index finger as he cackled. The sound on the television was the laughter of the crowd as the camera focused on Rayden, showing him rubbing the back of his head. He put his helmet back on and fastened the strap. He was still a dark Elite when he returned to the ice, but his eyes glowed red. The opposition looked distinctly nervous, which was funny for a team of alphas.

Rayden made shot after shot at a distance until the ugly-sounding alarm rang. The city fans cheered, and he made a beeline for the exit.

Laughter rippled through the arena, and Marshall said, “Well, you have made his day and are likely to have sold out all of the tickets for your show.”

She smiled, and then her eyes went wide. “Shoot!” She grabbed her phone and started texting. She relaxed when the answer came that she had a bunch of secured tickets for the first and final performances. She really wanted Emmy there.

She sent another text, and when Emmy opted for opening night, she grinned. She giggled. “Yay.”

Marshall pulled her phone away and said softly, “Ruby?”

“Yeah?”

He held her hands and looked her in the eyes. “Breathe.”

Rayden’s scent wrapped around her when she breathed in, and her head grew heavy on her neck, lolling from side to side.

“Again, Ruby. Pull him in again.”

“Why?”

“Because he is coming home hot, so it would be good if you could meet him halfway.”

She looked at him and leaned forward to press her lips against his. She breathed him in, and he pulled her close. Ruby squirmed against him, and he groaned. He muttered, “He’s left the arena. He’s on the way home.”

She sighed. “That was fast.”

Marshall chuckled. “I think that getting here is foremost in his mind. We arranged for someone from the arena to drive him home.”

She smiled. “Cute.”

“Safety first. Did you want to change?”

“Why?”

“How much do you like the leggings and sports bra? If they are still there, he’s gonna shred them.”

“So, what I saw was what was happening.”

Marshall chuckled. “Him kicking into rut? Yeah. That was it.”

“No wonder the opposition got the hell out of his way.”

She laughed and pushed away from him slowly. Marshall’s eyes were bright, and she nipped his lips. “I had better save my limited wardrobe.”

She pushed on his shoulder and stood up. She walked up the stairs, and to her surprise, he didn’t follow her. The shirt came off, her clothing was put in her room, and then the shirt went back on.

The scent hit her hard, and she held the doorframe as she got herself under control. Her sex felt slick as she tried to move down the steps. She had to stop a few times to get herself under control.

She shivered when she finally got downstairs. Her scent mixed with Rayden’s, and Marshall walked up to her and wrapped his arms around her. That was it. The three of them together clicked, and she blushed at her body’s reaction. “That is just odd.”

“That is how it is supposed to be. Rayden knew we were two-thirds of our grouping, but when I met you, it was difficult to remain professional.”
