Falling For The Captain Chapter 79
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

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

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 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

Riven I shifted on the bed trying to ignore it pushing the phone down for a second and running a hand through my hair thinking about all the reasons this was stupid I hated how she looked at me like I was the intruder when they moved in and how she fought back every time instead of just staying ou

Riven I couldn’t shake it no matter how hard I tried, the whole thing kept replaying in my head like some bad loop I couldn’t pause, her standing there in my doorway with her eyes wide and her mouth dropped open after she barged in without knocking like she owned the place too now that our parents
