Off Ice: A Forbidden Rink Romance 027
𝑴𝒂𝒍𝒂𝒌𝒂𝒊I was so pissed by the time I got to my car.Not about the stats. I could care less about running numbers tonight, and Beckett knew that too, which was exactly why I'd used it as an excuse to stay in the first place. What I was pissed about was the man showing up out of nowhere with his stupid lunchbox and his stupid smile, standing there in Beckett's office like he owned it and saying stuff like can't strategize on an empty stomach and a whole body that needs food to function.Funny how that works, like he was scoring points off me while Beckett just sat there and let him ruin our conversation.And Beckett didn't even chase him out.Instead he just told me to go home, like that fucker showing up unannounced wasn't the actual issue here.I could still see the way his eyes never left mine the whole time we were going back and forth, sizing me up the same way I was sizing him up. Both of us knew exactly what we were really fighting about even though neither of us said i

𝐁𝐞𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐭𝐭The knock cut me off before I could answer him.Malakai was still perched on the edge of my desk where he'd planted himself the second he walked in, close enough that I'd had to raise my head back just to keep looking at him properly.And for a second neither of us moved, both of us just staring at the door like it might go away if we ignored it long enough.It had been two days since the thirty day thing started, and already I was beginning to see how bad an idea it actually was. Not because it wasn't good. It was, that was the whole problem.The knock came again.I glanced at Malakai, wondering if it'll be weird for the both of us to be seen together this late in my office, but I brushed the thought off the second Malakai slid off the desk and dropped into the seat across from me instead.Arranging himself into something that almost looked like a player waiting on his coach."You gonna get that?" he asked, nodding toward the door, way too calm for someone who'd been

𝐁𝐞𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐭𝐭I still wasn't entirely sure how Malakai had talked me into agreeing to any of this, the thirty days, the whole ridiculous arrangement, but I definitely hadn't expected the volume of texts that came with it. Two days in, and my phone had become something closer to a leash than a device I actually controlled.It wasn't just the texting, either. He shown up at my office twice already this week, found excuses to linger after practice longer than necessary, sent me a single flower with no note attached that I still hadn't figured out how he managed to get delivered to a locked building. I kept telling myself this was exactly the kind of complication I'd warned him about that first night, the exact reason I should've said no in the first place.I hadn't said no, though. That was the part I still couldn't fully explain to myself.Part of me wanted to believe this was harmless, that thirty days would come and go and we'd both walk away with some clarity about whatever this

ᴬˡⁱˢᵗᵉʳI had been sitting in my car outside Beckett's apartment for nearly forty minutes, debating whether to actually get out and knock on his door.Every version of the conversation I ran through in my head ended differently. Sometimes he slammed the door in my face before I even finished my sentence. Sometimes he listened, arms crossed, waiting for me to explain myself properly instead of the rushed, half-formed version I'd given him at the rink. Sometimes, in the versions I liked best, he actually softened, just slightly, enough to let me back into whatever space I'd carved out for myself in his life two years ago.I needed him back. That part wasn't complicated, even if everything surrounding it was. The engagement had never been about wanting her. It was never going to be about anyone but Beckett, not really, not since the two of us had spent those years building something I still didn't fully understand how to walk away from, even after I was the one who'd left it behind fi

𝐁𝐞𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐭𝐭The wine bottle sat mostly empty on the coffee table, along with the second one Malakai had apparently stashed in his car and brought up halfway through the movie we were supposed to be watching but had mostly stopped paying attention to an hour ago. The television glowed blue against the dark living room, some action sequence playing out that neither of us was actually tracking anymore."That one's obviously the worst character in the whole franchise," Malakai said, gesturing loosely at the screen with his glass. "No redeeming qualities whatsoever.""He's complicated.""He's a coward who blames everyone else for his own decisions.""That's what makes him complicated.""That's what makes him annoying." Malakai leaned back against the couch cushions, close enough that his shoulder pressed against mine, close enough that neither of us moved away from it. "You always defend the worst ones.""I like a redemption arc.""He doesn't get one. He just dies.""Spoilers.""You've

𝐁𝐞𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐭𝐭I had barely made it through my apartment door when my phone started ringing. I answered without checking the screen, my mind still tangled up in everything that had happened at the rink, my keys still dangling from the lock behind me, my coat only halfway off my shoulders."Where'd you go?" Malakai's voice came through immediately, no greeting first, a note of something close to worry underneath the usual confidence."I was tired." It wasn't the whole truth, but it wasn't exactly a lie either. "I needed to get home.""You could've told me that instead of just disappearing. I looked for you everywhere after the game, even thought you got kidnapped or something.""I appreciate the concern, I'm fine.""Are you sick or something?""It's nothing. Long night." I kept my voice light, hoping he wouldn't push further, dropping onto the arm of my couch as I talked, still not fully inside my own apartment yet."You sure?""I'm sure. Just tired."For a second, I found myself wonde
