Secretive Deal With The Hockey Star

CHAPTER ONE DAHLIA I had tried to call Evans, but he wasn't picking. It rang once and then the next it was switched off. My insides turned and an anxious dark cloud of thoughts I didn't want hovered over my mind. He told me he was heading home, but he had forgotten to take the keys with him. They had been inside my bag The light steel objects clattered in my hands right now as I stared at my phone, wondering what would make his phone go off. Had his battery died? Perhaps that was the logical reason.I worried he might be stranded outside because of me. Evans always lost his things--keys most especially since they were little. He was a careless boyfriend, sad to say. So I opted to keep his keys for him since we worked together.I as his PR specialist and him as my hockey employer--and boyfriend. I sighed and placed my phone in my bag as I made to hurry out and get a cab. I had only taken a few steps when I came across Dan, one of his hockey teammates. He had a frown on his

CHAPTER THREEDAHLIA Evans cocked his head. "I never knew you were that daft. Someone that hates you?" " It's you that he hates," I wanted to say more, deny it, but I couldn't because I knew he was right. Last time when I was in close proximity to Giveon, his scowl alone made me tuck in my tail and scurry away. He was terrifying. "Since you've become so delusional ...now I am pretty much glad to let you go." He laughed. "My goodness. Who wants to be with someone as delusional as you? I wish you the best then. Let's see how that works out."It sounded like a dare. It sounded like a threat. And I wasn't one to back down from it. I narrowed my eyes, clenching my fists. "Let's see how that works out." I repeated his words back to him, and then turned, leaving the gym. Luckily for me, the players all had rooms in the Training facility so it was easier for me to locate Giveon's quarters. It was quite bigger than the other players, because it was the Captain's quarters. I knocked

CHAPTER FIVE DAHLIA "10"9"8"7"6"5"4I couldn't hear when he counted to one, because my ears were echoing loudly the pounding in my heart. All I knew was one moment, he kept counting and the next he had crashed his lips into mine.I wanted to resist, but I didn't. I couldn't. I was too weak. My legs wouldn't have been able to carry me. His tongue slipped into mouth and I opened up. His kiss was fierce. Possessive. Like he had been hungry for a very long time and only just now was he getting what he had wanted. His ferocious kisses sent tingles down my spine. His tongue probing, searching, exploring mine. I let him kiss me for a while before I began responding, slowly. I kissed him back. Because I couldn't hold back any longer. I couldn't deny the waves of pleasure he sent through me. His strong arms wrapped around mine and held me tighter against him. In response, I wrapped my arms around his neck, pulling him in for a deeper kiss. I was going to worry about the c

CHAPTER SEVENDAHLIA The streets were cold, empty except the occasional stray dog. The night lights shone from their steel lamps casting a yellow glow on the ground.The trees billowed in the wind close to where I was but I could still make out clearly the sound offootsteps behind me. I turned to see Lily tailing me.She wore a pink crop top--my pink top, and jeans. I should have remembered to take my keys from her. I was carried away with my anger towards Evans I didn't remember Lily any longer. But now that I stood in front of her, staring as she walked towards me, I didn't know if it was anger I was feeling now or something else. Something that looked more like pity. She was truly a young girl. 18 years of age, and Evans had thought to take advantage of her?But then again she was already a consenting adult. More times than I could count she had gone against my advice, wanting to prove her independence. I hoped now she had finally achieved her aims. "Stalking me Lily? Aft

CHAPTER NINE DAHLIA My gaze remained longingly at the Negroni the bar man took back as I sipped the orange drink begrudgingly. "You look like someone who just lost a dear puppy." Giveon noted. " You shouldn't have taken my drink away from me." I said, then the bar man came back. " Can I have my Negroni back?" Suddenly I felt cold fingers move my face slowly, till I was staring at hard, menacing blue eyes. "Don't test me." Giveon growled as he narrowed his eyes, then he leaned in, to my ear. "I could kiss you here in front of everyone. Make them all talk and carry the news, and give you the embarrassment you have been running away from. Is that what you want?" I shook my head quite fast. "That wasn't my intention. I ju..just wanted my drink." He carefully let go of me, his fingers brushing lightly against my cheek bones and sending tingly sensations skittering all over my body. "Get her an Americano." Giveon said to the barman who nodded and walked off. I frowned at Gi
