"Come on, let’s go dance." He suggests as he stands from his chair.

"Oh shit, Sully going to break out some moves on me?"

He chuckles, holding his hand out and I take it as I stand.

He leads me to the dance floor before my one hand rests on his bicep, the other in his wrapped around mine, as our feet fall into the movement. I lay my head on his chest and my eyes fall closed, not wanting to think about this club thing, but now I am.

"Now tell me what’s going on Macie."

"You can’t tell anyone. Jax knows but Koda can’t know this." I trust Sully, he has never told my secrets, he just never knew the worst ones.

"Spit it out Macie." He growls, knowing Sully is very impatient when you try to delay something.

"My dad helped Kenny a long time ago, and now Kenny is returning that favor to me. Keri wants something bigger, and he wants the two of us to run a club together." I blurt out.

"Damn."

"Yeah." I pull my head from his chest before I look up. He looks down meeting my gaze.

"I don’t know what to do Sully. I want it, but I don’t want to be tied down to a club. I want to be able to have that freedom still."

He nods, "I get that, can you have both?"

My head tilts to the side with my tight smile, "I could."

"You’ll make the right choice Macie, you always do."

"Even if I don’t want any part of it. I’m going to offer it to Keri. She deserves it too."

"She’d at least be here with you."

"Yeah, and you." I joke.

He chuckles, "I could work with that."

"I bet you could."

He pushes me out in a spin while he chuckles, before pulling me back into him.

"Whatever you decide Macie, make sure you do it for you, because you also deserve it."

"Thank you, Sully."

He kisses my forehead before my head falls back to his chest as we continue our dance and I catch a glimpse of Jax starring at me and I shoot him a wink. He returns that wink with his smile, while some guy talks his ear off; I giggle finding it comical.

His attention gets pulled back to Wes and I pull my gaze away, continuing to dance with Sully.

Jax

Talking with Wes and the coaches, I can't take my eyes off Macie.

I realized something tonight; I'm a lucky son of a bitch to have her.

She's always been there but for her to go to a game alone, not on home ice, not many will do that; Not alone they won't. Macie did, and she never turned away from it.

Josh bringing her to the box last period, I could keep a closer eye on her that way, but it rubbed me the wrong way, still kind of does.

I watch her dance and laugh with Sully, carrying that smile that makes my dick throb, but it does something else tonight. My chest tightens, and the pull I've always felt towards her, is even stronger than it ever has been before.
