Teacup?
I stare into his beautiful face. I could get lost in his eyes that are deeper than a pool of melted chocolate.
When his lips curve into another smile, I get the sudden urge to kiss him, which is deeply inappropriate.
What is wrong with me?
Everything feels out of balance.
“Now, show me around, Lola. Then let’s go and have some fun.”
“You can’t overdo the alcohol during hockey season.” I can’t be responsible for a hangover that messes with his training plan. No way.
“We’re not drinking tonight. I plan to take you somewhere I think will help you. A lot.”
“To help me forget?” I blink once, then twice, mesmerized by his massive, calloused hands that have moved to cup my face.
“You bet your sexy ass I’m going to make you forget.”
Jordan Miller thinks I have a sexy ass.
“How exactly are you going to help me forget?” I ask.
“Wait and see.”
CHAPTER TWO
Jordy
Following dinner at the Grizzly Grill, because Lola wanted abig, fat, greasy burger with the works, I’m scrolling through Instagram, waiting for her to come back from the restroom.
“Holy shit,” I mutter to myself as I read the announcement Wade and Kali made this afternoon stating they are officially dating then smile. I knew he liked her, but I didn’t know they were actually fucking.
I drop Wade a congratulatory message.
Me:
Happy for you, buddy.
Wade:
Cheers, man.
Me:
Dropped your uniform bag off at your new house.
Wade:
But I wasn’t there.
Me:
Lola was ;)
Wade:
She’s engaged. Back off.
