He squeezed his hand a little tighter to mine.
I swallowed hard.
My toes tingled in my shoes.
I never felt so protected and safe in my entire life.
Chapter Fifteen
ATLAS
Boston flewacross the country just to show up and kick our ass.
That kind of thinking never occurred and never mattered to me.
Except tonight…
Maybe it was because Hazel and Hannah were watching the game.
Even that didn’t make sense.
I never had the need to show off to anyone. Ever.
Or maybe it was a Boston thing.
A few seasons ago they were in the mix to make a big trade and I was used as an extra piece to make something happen. The GM at the time had the balls to say that I wasn’t worth shit in a trade.
Exact words?
A bag of hockey pucks was worth more than me.
I never got the chance to go face to face with that GM and knock his teeth out.
The memory stuck with me.
It was probably why the first chance I had at a good check on their best defenseman, I took it.
I put Collins into the boards with a thundering hit.
The crowd absolutely loved that.
My right shoulder wasn’t a fan.
Collins went to the ice in a heap of pain.
“Oh, come the fuck on,” I yelled to him. “Sack the fuck up and come hit me back.”
From behind I felt something hit me right between my shoulders.
I stumbled forward and had to jump over Collins’s body.
Jumping over someone with ice skates was extremely dangerous.
I tossed my stick to the ice and ended up skating into the boards.
I turned and there were refs everywhere, blowing whistles, calling a penalty.
Not on me.
