I’m glad that Robyn can’t hear this.

Shay’s sitting next to me, however, and can hear. He stiffens. His eyes flash with anger.

“I do,” I say, coldly. “Although it obviously differs from yours in every possible way in that yours is terrible, I will defend with my life your right togo fuck yourself.”

Shay bursts out laughing.

Shit, did I really say that to an assistant coach? An assistant coach who is currently making a power play for the Bay Rebels?

I never backtalk coaches. Nobody is allowed to. But Colton brings it out of me.

He is going to hand me my ass on the ice.

Worth it.

“You’re a cocky jerk,” Colton says, furious. “No player speaks to me like that. Why do you always make me be hard on you? You had better have an apology ready for the start of practice.”

“Shay and I aren’t coming to practice.”

“You are,” Colton replies, smugly. Shay is looking panicked. I swallow. I won’t leave Robyn, when she needs me. “I’ve cleared it with Mr. McKenna. Did you think that he was on his deathbed? He’s in that hospital room directing the team. And no, he doesn’t want to see any of you. What? Have I hurt your feelings? He doesn’t want to see his daughter either. She should be working. He asked me to call and get your asses down to the rink for extra practice. I hope that you had fun cussing at me because I’m going to push you until you break,captain.”

CHAPTER TWELVE

Rebel Arena, Freedom

D’Angelo

“Fucking Colton,”I mutter.

The lights are dim on the rink. The cold bites my blue lips.

Where the hell are Colton and the other players?

I narrow my eyes, clutching my stick harder.

I take a breath of the scent of rubber and sweat.

Colton had better not have been pranking me about this practice.

Right now, all I want is to be back in Captain’s Hall with Robyn. It kills me not to be at her side, when she needs me.

At least she has Eden.

Eden plans to bake Robyn’s favorite blueberry muffins.

He probably already has her changed into hisKIT-TEAt-shirt. They’ll be cuddled in bed, reading together, while he handfeeds her treats.

Or having wild sex.

I don’t know exactly what Robyn and Eden do, when they’re having time as just the two of them. I have a feeling that it’s a combination of books, long glances, and intense fucking.

Robyn is training him well.

I also trust Eden with Robyn. He’ll care for her tonight, when I can’t.

He’s spent his life caring for his twin. It’s his superpower.

I never thought that I’d trust another man to take that role with Robyn.
