Exclusive Excerpt:
“Hey, Harper. How you holding up?”
I quirk a brow as I stare at Rinne, lifting the bottle of whiskey.
“That bad?” He drops into the armchair across from me, then grabs the bottle, taking a swig. “Fuck. I needed that.”
“Have the rest.”
Rinne eyes me for a long moment, his gaze uncomfortably perceptive. “How’s your back?”
“Feels like someone’s taken a rusty hacksaw to my spine. But what else is new?” I snag the whiskey bottle back and take a long pull. The burn gives me something to focus on besides the throbbing ache radiating up my back.
Rinne’s brow furrows. “You thinking about starting PT? Might help, you know. Get ahead of it before it gets worse.”
I laugh, the sound bitter and brittle. “Sure, let me get right on that. It’s not like I just lost my insurance along with my job or anything.”
His mouth tightens, but he doesn’t rise to the bait. “What about Viktor? Have you told him yet?”
Just the sound of my boyfriend’s name makes my throat close up. I shake my head, blinking hard against the sudden sting in my eyes. “He’s not returning my calls or texts. I don’t . . . Fuck, Rinne. I’m worried about him.”
“He skipped practice yesterday. And today.” There’s something in his voice, a note of hesitation that makes my stomach clench.
“What?”
He sighs, rubbing the back of his neck. “The Titans have a certain way of handling their business. Think Viktor went after your ex.”
I swear, the day of the incident he mentioned something about taking care of the problem, but the drugs had hit me hard. Thought I imagined it.
Except Walsh made it clear they killed their former coach, the one who’d assaulted Reed.
“What if something happened to him? What if he’s not answering because of Noah . . .” The words die off, my throat closing up.
Rinne grabs my shoulder, squeezing it. “Don’t think that’s the case, otherwise the rest of the three would be MIA as well. You really love him, don’t you?”
I look up, staring at him incredulously. “Of course I fucking love him! Was the part where I threw myself in front of a truck for him not a big enough clue?”
Rinne barks out a laugh. “Easy, tiger. I was just asking.”
“I love him so much it scares the shit out of me sometimes. He’s a fucking chaotic hurricane. Blows into my life and just . . . upends everything. But I can’t imagine my world without him in it anymore.”
“For what it’s worth, I think you’re good for each other. But I gotta admit, I’m not sure how you deal with his . . . eccentricities. Not sure I can take all that obsessive bullshit myself.”
While Rinne may be my friend, I want to slam my fist into his nose. “That obsessive personality makes him who he is. I thought you of all people would’ve noticed. He’s a once in a generation goalie. Fucking amazing. But rough around the edges.”
Rinne listens, face scrunching as if trying to fit the pieces together.
“Don’t tell me you haven’t seen that same obsessiveness applied to his training to chasing after perfection as a goalie.”
My friend’s brows raise high, mouth opening. “Fuck. Never thought of it that way.”
“He’s got a near perfect GPA in goddamn Chemical and Molecular Engineering.” I can’t stop the proud smile that spreads. My brat isn’t just brilliant in net, he’s motherfucking brilliant.
“I get it. But what makes him great in certain areas of life, doesn’t work for relationships.”
My lips press into thin a line, nostrils flaring. “He’s mine and it works for us. Talk shit some more and you’ll be going home with a fat lip.”
Rinne chuckles, but it dies quickly. “In all seriousness, though—how do you think he’s gonna take the news? About you getting fired? You know he’s going to retaliate somehow.”
Understatement of the fucking century.
