Playing for Keeps · #2 / 5
Play With Me
I’m the star right winger for the Vancouver Vipers, an unstoppable force, fast as lightning. My dream come true, and I’ve worked my whole life to get here. I don’t plan on giving it up, but if I want to keep playing hockey, I’m going to need all my limbs. To ensure my body parts stay intact, I only need to follow one simple rule.
Don’t touch my captain’s little sister.
Seems easy enough. She’s snarky and bossy and has a mouth like a sailor. Truthfully, I’m bordering on the edge of terrified when she’s around.
The problem is I’ve seen too much. Too much of her, inside and out. And now? Now I want more.
But she’s my best friend’s little sister, and nobody’s ever been as off limits as Jennie Beckett is to me.
Her collection of toys is impressive, but I plan on showing her how a real man can make her vibrate without all the batteries. These hands can handle a hockey stick; surely they can handle her.
C’mon, Jennie. Play with me.
