Falling For The Captain Chapter 72
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

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

Chapter 69RivenI yanked the wheel to the right without signaling.The car jumped across the lane and onto the exit ramp so fast that Lily slammed into her door. A horn blared behind us, long and angry. I did not look back. I took the curve of the ramp too hard and felt the back tires slip for a second on the loose gravel at the edge before they caught again."Riven!""Hold on.""I am holding on!"At the bottom of the ramp there was a stop sign and a long empty road running through flat brown fields. I rolled through the sign without stopping and turned left. Then I checked the mirror.Nothing. Just the empty ramp behind us and a crow sitting on the guardrail.I let out a breath.Then the grey car came down the ramp.It did not rush. It did not swerve. It came down slow and careful, stopped at the stop sign like a driving school student, looked both ways, and turned left after us."He is still there," Lily said. She had twisted all the way around in her seat."I see him."I pushed th

Chapter 68RivenI ran.Down the hall, out the front door, across the porch full of splinters from the camera I had torn off the wall. I jumped the steps. My bare feet hit the gravel and it hurt and I did not care. I had left my shoes on the dock. My socks were still stuffed inside them. I was not going back for them.My keys were in my pocket. My hands were shaking so hard I dropped them in the gravel by the car door and had to crouch down and dig for them.Behind me, I heard the screen door bang.I looked up. Lily was standing on the porch. She had come out after me, but she had stopped at the top of the steps. Her arms were wrapped around herself. Her hair was blowing across her face. She was looking at me, and then at the road, and then back at the house, like all three were pulling her in different directions.I found the keys. I stood up.Everything in me wanted to march back up those steps and grab her by the arm. Put her in the car. Lock the door. Drive. Decide for her, the wa

Chapter 67Riven"Get in the car, Lily.""No.""I am not asking.""I know you are not asking. You never ask. You just decide things for people." She was on her feet now, backing toward the end of the dock, her bare heels right at the edge of the boards. "That is exactly what your father does."That hit me low. I stopped walking."Do not," I said."Do not what? Tell the truth? You drove two hours to tell me the truth. Here is mine." She pointed past me at the house. "The second I walk off this property, someone sees it. That camera sees it. And if I leave, Kane does not wait for the gala. He does not wait for anything. He plays it tonight anyway, or he sends it somewhere worse. A website. Her mother's phone. The team's group chat. You have no idea what he will do.""Then we stop him.""How?""I do not know yet.""You do not know yet." She laughed, and it cracked in the middle. "That is your whole plan? You do not know yet?""It is better than sitting on a dock waiting for him to come b

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
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
