The Last Strike Pizza & Beer Conversations
Ashton’s POV:Did Lizzy become bipolar since the last time I saw her?One minute she’s referring to me as a jacka*s and the next she’s asking me what I want on a pizza. I don’t think any sane man could make sense of this woman.I grabbed my phone and sent a text to Malcolm.Ashton: [Dude, Lizzy insisted I stay with her due to all the press camped outside my building, but I’m not sure if I can survive this.]Malcolm: [You don’t have much of a choice if you want to keep playing ball. Would it help if I came over?]Ashton: [She did say that I could ask you to bring me some clothes. Can you please do that for me? I’ll have her send you the address and any code you might need to get into the building.]After I finished texting with Malcolm, I heard L
The Last Strike Welcome Home
Ashton’s POV:A deer caught in headlights — that’s how I must have looked when Elizabeth said that I’d be staying with her tonight. I had wanted to question her, but the expression on her face assured me that she was serious. What in hell had I got myself into with her?When I returned from the locker room with my gear bag, she was furiously tapping away on her phone. I quietly stood in the doorway, waiting for her to acknowledge my presence, but she appeared to be fully engrossed in whatever she was doing on her phone. I cleared my throat in an attempt to get her attention.She looked up, and I realized her eyes were still red and swollen. I knew I must have made her cry earlier. A pang of guilt made the muscles in my chest tighten. Should I apologize again or leave it be? I really didn’t have the energy to rehash the incident with her. I already feared that this was going to be a very long night.She asked, “Did you drive yourself here before the game? If so, you’ll need to leave you
The Last Strike Are You Quitting?
Elizabeth’s POV:I dashed out of the locker room, running past Malcom, who was still standing outside, before anyone could say another word to me. I headed up the elevator to the executive floor, rushing into the office they had provided for me. Closing the door behind me, I fell to the floor in tears.How could a man I once loved with all my heart be so cruel? I understand him not being happy with his current situation, but to bring up my father in such a way when he’s only been gone two months. That’s truly despicable. He once claimed to love my father like his own, and yet he has no problem using his death to inflict emotional harm on me.I should quit. I should march straight into the owner’s office and tell him that Ashton Tate is beyond redemption. He’s a lost cause and should be sent packing.So, why am I sitting here hiding in this office, soaked in my tears? It would be so much easier to walk away and let him deal with the consequences of his actions.A knock on the door pull
The Last Strike Shameless
Ashton’s POV:Lizzy has always been fiercely stubborn, but never in my wildest dreams would I have ever expected her to be so bold as to step into the shower room. That poor rookie, Michaelson, was mortified. Lizzy, on the other hand, didn’t even flinch at the sight of his nakedness or mine. How many men has she been with to be indifferent to a man standing naked in front of her?Why did the thought of her being intimate with other men cause a tightness in my chest? I don’t care about her or who she’s hooked up with. I’m Ashton Tate, and I can have any woman I want, and I certainly don’t want her.I stepped out of the shower to find her sitting on the bench in front of my locker. I stared at her, sitting stiff as a board, completely ignoring my presence.“You’re just going to sit there and watch me get dressed? Are you really that shameless, Elizabeth?”She laughed at me, not a giggle or a slight chuckle, but a full-blown belly laugh. My nostrils flared, and my hands curled up into fi
The Last Strike Face Off
Elizabeth’s POV:I settled into my seat, trying my best to focus on the onslaught of messages and emails on my phone. Unfortunately for me, the man next to me was not going to take the hint and drop the subject.He continued to pester me with subtle remarks, probing for details he could undoubtedly add to his article. “Forgive me if I’m wrong, Ms. Mason, but haven’t you spent the past few months in Atlanta working your PR magic on Hawking’s shattered reputation? What brings you all the way to Chicago?”That question made me snap. “Cut the crap, James, you know damn well what my presence here means. Just like I know that you already have a scathing article about Tate written up and ready to go to print. You’re just searching for additional juicy details.”The smug smirk returned to his face. “I wouldn’t call it scathing, Elizabeth, merely factual.”“So you were an eyewitness to the events that took place last night? If you weren’t, then your article is hearsay rather than factual. I kn
The Last Strike Game Time
Ashton’s POV:I can hear the not-so-subtle whispers of some of my teammates when entering the locker room. My left hand instinctively coils into a fist while my right hand is wrapped up with an ice pack strapped to my knuckles. I already know I’m going to regret punching that wall, but damn, if she didn’t provoke me.She sat there with those ocean blue eyes turned icy, and those plump pink lips pressed into a scowl. Those eyes used to look at me with only adoration and love, but now they appear to be filled with resentment and scorn. Why the hell did they have to hire her of all the people?Malcolm Jones, my teammate and best friend since college, slides onto the locker room bench next to me. He nudges me with his broad shoulder to get my attention. I know I’m about to get my ass chewed out. He glances around the room to check for anyone listening before asking, “So, what the hell happened?”I keep my tone in check. I can’t afford to piss another person off today. “I made a drunken mi
