I slammed the glass down on the counter and glared at Riven. Shirtless in the dim kitchen light with those sweatpants riding low he just stood there like he owned the whole damn house. My blood boiled right then.

How dare that bastard act all distant all day after everything we did then show up looking like that in the middle of the night. I wanted to yell at him but I did not give him the satisfaction.

Instead I spun around and marched back upstairs without another word. My hands shook

  • Falling For The Captain   Chapter 75

    Chapter 75SilasI locked the phone and stood up so fast the bench scraped across the floor behind me.Riven did not step back. He stayed exactly where he was, a foot away from me, with his jacket half off one shoulder and his bag still at his feet, and he looked at me the way a captain looks at a guy who just took a stupid penalty. Not angry yet. Just waiting to hear what I was going to say.I grabbed the front of his jacket with both hands and pushed him back against the row of lockers. The metal banged loud enough to echo down the empty room."You did not see anything," I said."I saw it, Rook.""You saw a text.""I saw a text from Damien Thorne telling you to remember the second period." He did not lift his hands to push me off. He just stood there with his back against the lockers and let me hold him. "I can read."My hands were shaking in his jacket. I hated that he could feel it. I had played seven years in this league, I had dropped my gloves with men twice my size, and here I

  • Falling For The Captain   Chapter 74

    Chapter 74Riven I stood up behind her. The zipper was small and the dress was tight, and my hands were not as steady as I wanted them to be. I pulled it down slowly, all the way to the small of her back, and the dress loosened around her shoulders."I am never wearing blue again," she said. "Ever. Not even socks."I leaned down and kissed the back of her neck, right where her hair had been. She shivered."That is a shame," I said against her skin. "Because it is my favorite color now."She turned around in my arms and looked up at me with the dress slipping off one shoulder. "Since when?""Since about seven o'clock tonight, when you walked down the stairs at Callie's.""Liar.""I am done lying to you, remember?"She smiled, a real one, the first real smile I had seen on her face in days. Then she reached up and pulled my tie loose, slowly, one end at a time, watching my face while she did it like she wanted to see what it did to me."You are teasing me," I said."You teased me about

    Chapter 73RivenI told her to stay with Lily, and I meant it, and I still found myself walking across the ballroom toward that staff door about thirty seconds after it closed behind her.Nobody stopped me. A couple of the guys from the team raised their glasses as I passed, and one of the sponsors' wives tried to catch my arm to tell me how much she loved the overtime goal, and I smiled and kept moving. The side door opened into a narrow concrete corridor that smelled like cleaning products and old coffee, and at the far end another door had been propped open with a brick. Cold air was coming through it.Izzy was standing just inside that doorway with her back pressed to the wall and her camera raised to her eye. I could hear the soft, fast clicking of the shutter from halfway down the corridor.I walked as quietly as I could and stopped right behind her. Over her shoulder, through the gap, I could see the loading area under the tall light. My father was there with Kane. And a third

    Chapter 72IzzyKane kept smiling at me from the stage, and for one long moment I was sure he was going to walk straight down the steps and across the ballroom and pull me out of that hallway by the arm in front of everyone.He did not move.He could not. Six hundred people were sitting in the dark looking up at him, and the spotlight was on his face, and every phone in the room was already raised to film the team's star player introducing the season. I watched him understand that at the same moment I did. His hand came out of his jacket empty and settled on the edge of the podium, and he leaned toward the microphone with an easy little laugh."Sorry, everyone," he said. "Public speaking makes me more nervous than a shootout."The whole room laughed with him. Somebody near the front whistled."I had a whole speech written down," Kane went on, still smiling, "but I think I will let the boys do the talking instead." He turned his head toward the back corner of the ballroom, where the te

  • Falling For The Captain   Chapter 71

    Chapter 71Izzy"Isolde, over here! Riven, give us one together!"The photographers at the entrance were shouting before we even reached the top of the steps, and the flashes came so fast that for a few seconds I could not see anything except white. Riven's hand found the small of my back and stayed there, steady, while I smiled the way I had watched a hundred players smile into my own camera. It was strange being on the other side of the lens. My own camera hung around my neck on its strap, heavy against the blue dress, and I kept one hand on it like it could protect me."Keep walking," Riven said through his smile."I am walking.""You are walking like you are about to fight someone.""I might be."He laughed under his breath, and it was the first time I had heard him laugh in two days. He had showered at Callie's and borrowed a razor and put on the suit his father had picked out for him, and he looked like the captain everyone in this city thought he was. He had also, finally, put

    Chapter 70Izzy"Absolutely not," I said, pushing the blue dress back across Callie's bed like it was something that might bite me.Callie picked it up and held it against herself in front of the mirror. "You have not even tried it on.""I do not need to try it on. I know what it is for.""It is for a gala, Izzy. That is what all three of them are for." She turned so the fabric swung around her knees. "It is a nice dress. It was my sister's. She wore it to a wedding and two different men asked for her number.""Lily told me to wear the blue dress," I said. "In a text. With a photo of me and Riven in a parking lot that she did not even take, because Kane took it. So no, I am not wearing the blue one. I would rather go in my pajamas."Callie lowered the dress slowly and looked at me in the mirror. Then she hung it on the back of the closet door, as far away from me as the room allowed, and sat down on the bed next to me."Okay," she said. "No blue."I had been at her apartment for an ho

  • Falling For The Captain   Chapter 2

    Izzy I spent the whole afternoon in that room they gave me trying to make it feel like mine instead of some fancy guest suite I didn’t earn. Mom kept popping in every ten minutes with that bright new-wife smile, handing me extra hangers and asking if I needed help unpacking, while Mr. Holt Dad

  • Falling For The Captain   Chapter 1

    Izzy Dear Diary, I think I’m finally ready to stop being a virgin. I’ve been good my whole damn life, keeping my head down, chasing jobs that barely paid rent, and now this one thing, this one infuriating, stupidly hot guy has me twisted up so bad I can’t even think straight. But I have to play

    Izzy He pushed the door open anyway. I jumped up and tried to shove it closed but he slipped in and shut it behind him. He looked at me. My face felt flushed. Breathing still fast.“You okay?” he asked. “You look all red and out of breath.”“I am fine,” I snapped. “What do you want? Get out of my

  • Falling For The Captain   Chapter 6

    Izzy I slammed the door so hard my hand stung right away. My heart would not slow down. It kept pounding like it wanted to jump out. I ran down the hall to my room and locked the door fast. I pressed my back against it and slid all the way down to the floor. My legs felt weak. What the hell did I
