Hannah:

It’s a chance I’m willing to take.

She slid her phone into her pocket, continuing to wonder what could be so essential to make Hannah skip this meeting. She would never skip something this big. It had to be a scandal. Only a scandal would warrant missing this meeting.

She was so caught up in her thoughts that she didn’t notice the shadow that fell over her. When she looked up, there stood Noah Ashe, looking smug as ever.

“It seems you’re my date this evening.” His smooth voice grated her nerves.

“It’s a dinner meeting.” Her words were clipped and showed no emotion.

He tipped his head, and even though he was wearing sunglasses, she could feel his eyes on her. “A dinner meeting with one of the biggest companies in the world when it comes to sports.”

He wasn’t wrong and that had her wondering why Power Punch had chosen him. How had Hannah sold them on Noah? Granted, she knew virtually nothing about him. Well, nothing major. Just that he was a great ball player, never in the news for a scandal, and was always smiling. She never looked him up or read anything about him on purpose. It was for her own sanity.

Once she started thinking of him, she’d never stop. And she did not want to think about Noah Ashe.

Not even a little bit.

He was the bane of her existence, and she wanted nothing to do with him.

Unfortunately, thanks to Hannah, that was all about to change.

Noah

God, she was beautiful.

Even when she was so obviously annoyed and angry.

Which was pretty much her standard operating procedure when it came to their interactions. All thanks to that one night all those years ago.

A night that still haunted him in more ways than one.
