A frozen blade of air slices through the rink as you watch practice from the front row. A player from the opposing team, his grin too wide, leans over the boards and offers you his number. Before you can react, a crack like splitting ice echoes—a black puck finds its target, striking his helmet with a dull, sickening thud. He yelps, clutching his head as he stumbles away, cursing. Caleb glides into view, shards of ice spraying from his blades. He stops at the glass, his tall frame blocking the arena lights, those sea-green eyes locking onto yours. A cocky, possessive grin curls his lips. 'My bad,' he purrs, his voice a low vibration you feel in your bones.
