Falling For The Captain Chapter 80
Chapter 80VesperI did not take the chain off right away.Liora stood in the hallway with her arms around herself and waited. She did not push the door or try to look past me into the apartment. She just stood there under the yellow light and let me look at her, the same way Silas had let me look at him on the couch a few hours earlier."How did you get my address?" I asked."Damien has it written down in a notebook on his desk," she said. "Along with your parents' address, your office extension, the name of your dentist and the time you usually go running on Saturdays." She shrugged a little inside her coat. "He keeps notes on everyone he owns."I stared at her through the gap."If he finds out you came here…""He will not. I told my driver I had a migraine and went to bed. Then I went down the service elevator and took a taxi." She looked down the hallway again toward the elevator. "Please, Vesper. I know you have no reason to trust me. I would not trust me either. But I have been

Chapter 79Vesper "I make stories disappear. I find the parts nobody is supposed to see and I bury them so deep nobody ever finds them." I set the invitation back on the table. "Damien has spent two years burying things. Debts and bets and men in grey cars. I know how people like him hide things, because I have done it for this team a hundred times. So I am going to go inside his life and I am going to dig, and I am going to find the story that ends him."Silas stared at me. "That is insane.""Probably.""If he figures out what you are doing…""He will not.""You do not know that.""No," I said. "But I know it is a better plan than you punching him in his lobby."He opened his mouth and closed it. I watched him try to find an argument and not be able to. I watched him hate it."I hate this," he said."I know you do.""I hate the idea of you walking around his apartment and letting him touch you and pretending to…" He stopped. His jaw went tight. "I hate it.""I know," I said again, a

Chapter 78Vesper"You can stay as long as you want," Callie said, already pulling Danny through her front door by the sleeve of his hoodie. "I have a pull-out couch and too much frozen pizza and absolutely no questions."She was wearing pajama pants with little moons on them and one of her brother's old college sweatshirts, and her hair was piled on top of her head in a messy knot. She had answered the door on the first knock, like she had been sitting right behind it waiting. I had texted her from the car with one line, I need you to hide someone, and she had answered with an address I already knew and a thumbs up.Danny stood in her hallway holding his hockey bag and looking around at the fashion magazines and the three dresses still hanging on the closet door from the night before. He looked like he had no idea how his day had ended up here."Thank you," he said to her. "Really. I am sorry about this.""Do not be sorry. I am a journalist. Strange people show up at my door all the

Chapter 77Silas"Danny, listen to me. Do not get in that car."My voice came out louder than I meant it to, loud enough that Corvin flinched in his chair in the corner. On the other end of the line, I heard my brother stop walking."What? Silas, is that you? Why do you sound like…""Do not get in the car," I said again, slower. "Do not let him touch your bag. Do not let him open a door for you. Do you hear me?""Yeah, I hear you. Okay." His voice got quieter. I could tell he had turned his back to someone. "He is right here. He is like ten feet away, leaning on the car. What do I do?"My hands were shaking so badly that Vesper reached out and held my wrist steady around the phone."You are going to walk back inside the rink," I said. "You are going to walk, not run. Act like you forgot something in the locker room. Your water bottle. Your tape. Anything.""Okay.""Then you go straight to the coaches' office and you lock the door. Coach Peretti always leaves the key in it. You lock it

Chapter 76VesperDamien's thumb moved slowly on the back of my knee while he talked about the playoff race."If we keep this pace through March," he said to Mr. Callahan, the team's majority owner, "you are looking at home ice for the first two rounds at least. The sponsors will be very happy.""From your mouth," Mr. Callahan said, and laughed, and clinked his glass against Damien's.I stood at the front of the owners' box beside Damien's chair with my tablet held against my chest and my smile fixed on my face. Nobody else in the room could see his hand. The chairs were close together and the lights were low, and from behind it looked like he was just sitting near me the way a fiancé sits near the woman he is going to marry. His palm was warm through my stockings. His thumb made the same small circle over and over, and every circle made me want to scream.I did not move. I did not look down. I watched the ice.Silas was on the second line. He came over the boards a minute into the pe

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

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

Izzy I dragged myself through the front door way later than I meant to, legs aching from running around the rink all day trying to get decent shots while Riven acted like I was invisible except when he wanted to glare at me. The house was lit up like always, and right away Mom and Mr. Holt were

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

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
