No one tells Kelsey no. She threatens to murder the guys on a daily basis to keep them in line. She's a harmless, gorgeous little goddess, but they live in fear of pissing her off. I'm not afraid of being on her bad side, though. I think I may be the only one on the team she's never threatened with bodily harm or violence.
That may change today.
Her blonde head swivels in my direction. She looks like an adorable little kitten playing at being the boss with a pencil stuck through her bun and lightning bolt earrings in her ears. Her pink lipstick and lacy blouse soften her further, turning her into a curvy goddess. "You can't just refuse to do press, Kris. It's the first game of the Playoffs. They want to talk to you."
"I'm busy."
"Doing what?" She narrows her blue eyes on me, her expression rife with suspicion. "You're the Captain of the team. The only thing you're busy doing during Playoffs is team stuff."
"I have a thing," I lie, knowing full well she isn't going to buy it. The truth is, I just wanted her attention. I don't particularly care to attend the press conference, either. They're loud, boring, and a pain in the ass. The media asks the same questions, most of which have nothing to do with hockey. They're more interested in our personal lives than the game. It's always been that way, but since half the team decided to fall in love and get married this year, they've been ten times worse.
I don't want to answer questions about my relationship status when the reason I'm still single is currently glaring daggers at me.
"You are so full of it. You do not have a thing."
"I do," I lie.
"Oh really?" She crosses her arms over her ample chest. The move pushes her breasts upward in her top, giving me a peek at her cleavage. My dick turns to steel in my pants. "Tell me about it then."
"It's a date."
She blinks rapidly.
"With you," I hurry to add before she gets the wrong idea. There is no one except her for me. There never has been and never will be.
A murmur goes up from my teammates.
"Fuck yeah!" Jonas shouts.
Kelsey's face turns stony.
"Outside, Kris," she growls, pointing at the door to the locker rooms. "Now."
"Ooh," Logan, our goalie, whispers. "Captain is in trouble."
"Busted," Gray agrees, his gray eyes gleaming behind his thick glasses.
Coach just shakes his head, shooting me a look that says, "Poor bastard."
I hop to my feet, following Kelsey out into the hallway.
As soon as the door closes behind us, she wheels around to face me.
"Are you serious right now?" she hisses, glaring up at me. "You can't just ask me on a date in front of everyone!"
"Why not?"
"Because we work together!"
"It's not like they don't all know."
Her face turns white.
"Not that," I growl. "Jesus. I didn't fucking tell them that you were riding my cock in the conference room just a few weeks ago, princess. I mean, they all know how I feel about you. It's not like it's a goddamn secret. You're the only one who refuses to see it."
"Kris."
"Just one date,elskan mín. That's all I'm asking for," I murmur. "Go out with me one time. If you still want me to fuck off after, then I'll fuck off and leave you alone."
