Chapter 51
Cody “You can’t just walk off an interview like that. What the hell are you thinking?” Coach is not happy with me. “You are the top of your game; you need to handle yourself with more professionalism. I want an explanation. For Christ’s sake, you just won the semi-finals, you’re in the history books for your plays, what has got into you?” I huff and fold my arms in front of my chest. “Luna is what’s gotten into me. I want to know why she was here and why she was in the private area without anyone telling me or even asking me. What kind of shit show is this?” I am fuming. Of course I am. At least I have messaged with Immi and from the sound of it, we are still good. Just, I should imagine, because my heart is on thin strings knowing that she could easily break. Afterall, this is the reason she called it quits in the first place. And I cannot lose her again. If it means I have to walk away, then that is precisely what I will do. Nothing is coming between her and I. Listen, I swear to G

Imogen I’m standing in the flat above the restaurant, it looks amazing with freshly painted walls, my bookcase up and some furniture I found with dad at the local thrift store. I’ve opted for a bohemian look and am so in love with my new space, in particular the patchwork look two-seater sofa and matching chair. Throwing myself down on it, I smile. Yes, the whole darn business with Luna at the rink is still at the forefront of my mind and the worry that Cody will change his mind but right now, I’m too ecstatic about having my own place finally, to even let that disturb me. That and Cody is coming back home later today. I’ve already told my folks that I am staying over at my apartment from tonight. Dad is brining my already packed clothes over and I’ve been bringing my vast collection of books over each time I came to do work at the restaurant and the apartment. I am looking forward to sorting them all out, they’ve been in boxes far too long since I left New York and I’ll also be bri

Cody Can’t this damn plane go any faster? I am eager to see Immi and also, I need to get to her before anyone starts mouthing off about me having to be friendly with Luna. My manager has spoken to her already, he placed a call in early this morning to let her know I was prepared to meet up. The last thing I need is for Luna to post something out and for Immi to see it first. It’ll literally kill her. Have I got high anxiety? You bet I have. My knees are bouncing up and down, the guys are quiet around me, they know. I told them last night when we were out at the restaurant. I left soon after the meal, they all went and hit a club, Atlas didn’t go with them, he wanted to get back to his hotel room to speak with Fallon. They’ve managed to keep their relationship going long-distance for over three years now. I am hoping that Immi and I can last the two years that I’ll be away in Dallas and with a manic schedule of traveling between games. “You okay, Man? You’re nervous as hell.” Atlas

ImogenI hear a knock on the door downstairs, I’m finally up in my apartment above the restaurant snuggled up on the sofa with a book, my new little addition who still remains nameless, I call him kitten for now. He is adorable all snuggled on my lap purring away.I place kitten down on the other part of the sofa and make my way downstairs. I have butterflies in my stomach knowing the only person it could possibly be is Cody. I’ve waited all day to be able to see him and have showered, put on some hot pink, lacey lingerie in anticipation for a night of unbridled passion. Okay, I’m not going to lie I already feel damp just thinking about the things he is going to do to me tonight.I rush down the stairs, unbolt and unlock the door and swing it open. He takes my breath away as he stands there filling up the doorway with his broad shoulders. His unshaven face and dark circles under his eyes do not deter from how handsome this man is. I throw my arms around his neck as he lowers his head

Cody Her fragrance and smell intoxicate me as I hold her close waiting for her breathing to regulate before I really take her wildly and passionately. The last almost forty-eight hours without her have been torture, how the fuck am I going to cope when I finally go to Dallas?. Okay, let’s not think about that right now. It’ll be a sure-fire way to dampen my boner. I feel Immi’s fingers trailing delicately down my chest and stomach, they cause me to flutter as my dick twitches. Not going to lie, the fucker is aching. ACHING. She plants tender kisses down my chest and sucks on one of my nipples. I’ve never really been a guy who likes his nipples being teased but fuck me, when Immi’s mouth is clasped over them it is an entirely different sensation. My body is on fire, it zings all over the place as she licks my nipple and bites gently on it. “Harder, darlin’.” I tell her wanting to experience the delight of pain and pleasure. WTF, I don’t usually go in for that kind of thing, but Immi

ImogenMy stomach growls, I can tell it’s still very early since the daylight hasn’t started to come through the window and I left the curtains open. Kitten is meowing, almost screeching like a baby. Shit. I forgot. I get up and grab for my pink, kimono robe over my bedroom chair, tie it at the waist and bundle him up in my arms. He clings to me for dear life. Poor thing, he is probably missing his cat mom. It tears at my heart. He snuggles into my chest suckling on the thin fabric of the kimono.“Come on little man, let’s go and get you some food. Mommy is hungry too.” I glance at Cody and my heart swells as I see his face soft in sleep. No lines etched on his face from the Luna stress and the tiredness of the season on the ice he is going through. I want to stroke his soft skin, but I don’t want to wake him. He needs his sleep.As I walk down the stairs I feel the dull ache from our sex last night, it makes me smile. It’s a good ache. I get downstairs and reach for his kibbles and f

Cody“Coach and my manager want me to be nice to Luna. They want me to be seen with her.” I watch as her face falls, dammit, I hate that I have to do this to her. I hate that I have to make it look good between Luna and I.“Why? Who cares about her. She’s been a bitch and caused a lot of problems, look how many people are being mean to you.” Her arms are folded in front of her chest.“I know, darlin’. I know. I don’t want to. You have to trust me on that. I can’t stand her, whatever was I thinking when I.” I trail off, no need to rub shit in her face. That’s not what I want, in fact I just want to sweep her up and run away with her, somewhere far away where we can’t be touched. It’s not like I haven’t got buckets full of money to give us a nice, comfortable life. We could literally live anywhere and in comfort.“It sucks.” Is all she says, I can see tears welling in her eyes. She wipes them away with the back of her hand.“Yes, it does. But they are concerned that my image is going to

Imogen Is my stomach in knots? You bet it is. Am I scared? You bet I am. I feel sick, nauseous and like I’m about to projectile vomit. Ever seen the Exorcist? That’s exactly what I am talking about. The bile is at the back of my throat as I listened to Cody telling me about having to make good with Luna for appearances sake and the baby scan later today. Shit. I honestly thought it wasn’t for a few days. Would it have made any difference? Probably not. I’d still be on tenterhooks. It’s the way it is but I am a big girl, and I am stronger than I think. Will I run again this time? No way. He is the real deal for me, he makes my heart melt, I swoon just looking at him and hearing his voice. There is no way I am running out on Cody Brannigan and leaving him hurting and broken hearted nor for another girl to come into his life to take him and nurse him better. It’s not happening. He had to leave soon after we had breakfast, kitten was crying by the door when he left, and it made me sob.

CodyI dress in an ordinary pair of black jeans and wear one of my white Versace t-shirts. I have changed four times, you thought a woman could be bad, well today folks, I am having high wardrobe anxiety. I don’t want to look like I have made a huge effort to see Luna, absolutely NOT. Yet, I do want to feel good about myself for the first images of seeing my baby.I rake my hands through my hair. The door knocks. Who the fuck is that? Thus, the white t-shirt because I am rapidly running out of time, and someone is at the door.Opening it, I find Atlas standing outside. “What are you doing here? I thought you were flying from the game straight to see Fallon.”“That was the plan but now she has a paper to sit and needs the study time. Besides, I know today is really important for you and wanted to come by and give you man-hug.”“Aw, Man how sweet.” I’m being sarcastic. “Um, how did you know today was a big thing?” I look at him confused and allow him to step inside the property. He’s a

Chapter 60
Cody I still can’t believe that Luna is already twelve weeks pregnant, I rake my hands through my hair as the sonographer tells her to take a lay down on the bed by the machine. It makes me nervous just being in a hospital. Watching my grandfather dying from cancer with a brain tumour was one of the first encounters I had in hospitals. Sure, I’ve spent my fair share of time now in them from accidents on the ice but being in a room with contraptions, monitors and the like, still gives me nervous tension. I am also worried that everything might not be okay with the baby, I mean it should be fine but what if it isn’t? My mouth has gone dry, and I wish with all my heart that Immi was here by my side. Luna is lapping it up, she is all smiles and reaches her hand out to mine as she lays down. The woman standing by the bed smiles, like it’s the most beautiful thing she has ever seen. Instead of giving my hand to Luna, I pull up the chair and take a seat with my legs stretched out in front
