hold her gaze. My breath quickens as I fidget in place. Then the realization hits me: I want her, and that makes me aggravated.
I wanted to twirl her around and kiss her just as much as I wanted to spank her for her behavior. She’s unbelievable.
I want her so badly, like I’ve never wanted anyone in my life.
“If you meet a girl you like, one who causes your heartbeat to speed up, who is constantly on your mind, day and night; one who stirs such strong emotions within you that it is hard to control yourself. If you meet a girl like that, promise me you will bring her here and introduce her to me.”

Drake doesn’t hold himself back, but I don’t feel anything anymore. I become conscious of the sounds that surround us. People whistle, clap, and cheer, and I pull away.
“Fuck it,” I mumble to myself. I wind my hand around her waist and pull her close to my chest.
My hands wind around her waist, and I press her back to my chest. Her body crashes into mine, and a breath catches in my throat.

“She’s my girlfriend!” Colt bellows, and everyone goes silent at once.
“I wanted to secure my future, so I could take care of you. Of our baby. I wanted to give you the life you deserve.”
“I don’t care what you say, Ava. You’re mine. And soon enough, you’ll be proudly flashing a ring on your finger so the whole fucking world—so every single person on this planet—will know you’re Colton Thompson’s wife.”
“I love you, Ava. I love you more than fucking hockey, and for someone like me, that sounds like the ravings of a lunatic.

And I’ll do anything for you to give me another chance. Please, Ava.”
