Pucking Forbidden Claim
Then the puck drops, and Mercer comes at me like a fucking freight train.
I barely have time to react before he slams into me, hard, sending a sharp jolt through my ribs. It’s not a clean hit, not a calculated play, it’s messy, aggressive, fueled by something raw and unchecked. He doesn’t say anything, doesn’t chirp me like he normally would, doesn’t smirk or bait me into reacting. He just wants to hurt me.
And fuck, do I love it.
