I’ve always considered myself a feminist, but there’s something so goddamn sexy about a man in a backwards hat that has me ready to drop to my knees for the patriarchy.

Maybe write out the word mine so everyone else stays the fuck away.
“Gentle and careful are the last things I’m going to be with you.” I drag my thumb down the column of her throat. I add a little bit of pressure right at her windpipe, and I hum when she doesn’t pull away. “I’m going to make a mess of you, Emmy girl.”
“Bad breakup?” “Something like that.” Maverick steps closer. He crowds my space, eyes holding mine. “Did he lay a finger on you?” “What?” Hudson asks from my left. “Who put a finger on her?” “Someone hurt Emmy?” Ethan pulls off his gloves. “Who the fuck was it?”
“Did he hurt you?” Maverick asks, lethally low. “No. No. He wasn’t nice, but he never put a finger on me.” “What did he say? What did he do?” Maverick yanks off his helmet and tosses it at the wall. There’s so much intensity behind his eyes, I almost stop breathing. “Tell me, Emerson.”
“I’m going to kill him,” Maverick whispers. “I’m going to rip each one of his limbs from his body until he’s nothing but a pile of fucking bones.”
“And you also remember that I take care of what’s mine, right?” he asks, lower this time. “Yes,” I whisper. “I do.”
“The only thing I have planned, Hud, is that I’m going to spend fifty-eight minutes in the locker room after I get tossed, and you all are going to have to play without me.”
“What the fuck is your problem?” “You want a list?” I punch him square in the jaw, and his face whips to the side. “Let’s start with Emmy.”
But guess what? She’s mine now, motherfucker, and I’m not going to let you disrespect her anymore.”
“There you go. That’s my girl.”
“I have an appointment next week. I wasn’t joking about putting mine on the back of my hand. I want to see it every time I touch you. A pretty necklace for my pretty girl.”
