Scarlett's POV

"You played hockey," I said. "Professionally. But that was all in the past, wasn't it?"

"Not this whole time," Preston said. He set the helmet down on the chair and sat on the edge of it. "I played in college. Was pretty serious about it. Then there was an accident during a game and I blew out my knee and that was the end of that." He paused. "That's when I started the company. Had to do something with my time."

"I knew that part," I said. "The injury, the company. That's public

  • Second Chance on the Rink: Rebirth of the Ice Queen   Chapter84 The Setup

    Scarlett's POVPreston's mother looked at me for a moment and then said, simply, "Let the girls go enjoy themselves. Young people like that kind of thing."I did not particularly want to spend an afternoon with Isla. That was the honest answer.But Preston's mother had set aside tickets specifically, and whatever her reasons were, turning them down in her own house felt like the wrong move. I was already here. I had already survived the entrance hall."Sure," I said. "Sounds good."Isla smiled.That night I lay in bed and stared at the ceiling and thought about it.Isla was not someone who made four-second pivots without a reason.I did not sleep especially well.--She was at my door at seven thirty in the morning with a garment bag over one arm and a coffee in each hand, which was either genuine thoughtfulness or the most effective disarming tactic I had ever encountered."I found you som

  • Second Chance on the Rink: Rebirth of the Ice Queen   Chapter83 You're Marrying That Kind of Woman?

    Scarlett's POVPreston seemed determined to ignore the ringtone for as long as possible.But whoever was calling had a persistence that was hard to match.Preston frowned and finally picked up his phone."Dad."I could hear the voice on the other end clearly enough. Clipped, controlled, the kind of voice that was used to being listened to."Where are you."Preston glanced at me.Something shifted in his expression, and I recognized it about half a second before he opened his mouth and I knew exactly what he was going to do and could not stop it in time.He made his breathing audible. Deliberately. Just enough."Can you not tell?" he said.The voice on the other end went silent for one beat. Then it came back louder and considerably less controlled.Preston held the phone slightly away from his ear and let his father finish. Then he said, calmly, "I'll be h

  • Second Chance on the Rink: Rebirth of the Ice Queen   Chapter82 Dressing Room Sex

    Before I could answer, Preston picked me up."Oh my God! What are you doing!""If you don't mind doing this right here, I can always put you down." Preston laughed softly.Good lord, this man was insane.I was pretty sure he meant it too, and that thought stopped me cold.I stopped fighting and let him carry me into the rest room. Preston kicked the door closed behind us and turned the lock with one hand.He started pulling at my clothes right away. His fingers tugged my shirt up and over my head."God Scarlett I need you right now" he said in that rough voice he used when he got like this.I put my hands on his chest. "Preston wait. What if someone knocks? "He just shook his head and kept going. He unbuttoned my jeans and slid them down my legs along with my underwear. "Nobody is coming in. I locked it. Stop worrying and let me have you."His mouth was on my neck before I could argue more. He kissed and sucked hard enough to leave marks.I felt that rush of heat even though my head

  • Second Chance on the Rink: Rebirth of the Ice Queen   Chapter81 A High School Crush

    Scarlett's POVSarah found me about ten minutes into the shoot.She came up beside me with her tablet and her usual expression ."How's your mom doing?" she said."Better. A lot better, actually. "Sarah smiled. "That sounds way too good.""It really does." I looked at her. She had dark circles under her eyes that she had done a reasonable job of covering and the slightly compressed posture of someone running on not enough sleep. "How are you holding up? The last week has been a lot.""It would be, if not for a certain difficult Mr. X.""Sarah. I'm sorry."She paused. "I'm just messing with you, my dear boss. Everything's running. Nothing's on fire.""Take the rest of the week," I said. "Actual time off. I'm back now, I'll handle things from here.""The Morrison follow-up is still—""I'll handle it. Go."She looked at me for a moment like she

  • Second Chance on the Rink: Rebirth of the Ice Queen   Chapter80 I Only Shoot If Scarlett's Here

    Preston's POVThe mask was Tyler's idea.He had shown up to the shoot location with four of them in a bag, the kind with a simple design, nothing flashy, and distributed them to the guys like it was completely normal."Cap doesn't want to get recognized before the campaign drops," he announced to no one in particular.The shoot was for the tournament sponsorship campaign. I had agreed to it weeks ago, back when agreeing to things Scarlett asked for had felt easy and uncomplicated.The production team had set up near the practice rink, lights and cameras and a director who had introduced himself three times because he kept forgetting I already knew his name.My phone buzzed.A photo. From Isla.Scarlett was in a coffee shop. Across the table from her was Pierce. They were leaning toward each other the way people lean when they are saying something they do not want overheard.Her hands were on the table. H

  • Second Chance on the Rink: Rebirth of the Ice Queen   Chapter79 Caught on Camera

    Scarlett's POVMy mother's color was better on the third day.She was awake more often, and when she was awake she was herself, asking about the company, asking about the tournament results, asking why I looked tired.I told her I was fine every time she asked and she did not believe me every time I said it, which was very her.Sarah had been running the office without complaint.She sent me summaries twice a day and only flagged the things that actually needed my attention, which was exactly what I had asked for and exactly why I trusted her. I read through everything each evening in the hospital chair next to my mother's bed and handled what I could handle from my phone.I was doing that on the third morning when Pierce walked in.He had flowers. Again. Smaller arrangement this time, appropriate for a hospital room, nothing that looked like a statement.He stopped in the doorway and looked at my mother first,
