BASH

Greer sighs and presses her temple to the window. “I kind of feel like this is déjà vu.”

I glance over at her then back to the road. Even getting her in the car this morning was difficult.

She’s so damn stubborn.

The woman never wants to just trust me. Maybe that’s my fault for giving myself this well-deserved reputation. I’d be lying if I said it didn’t hurt a little bit that she can’t see past it all the time, but after last night, I would’ve thought I earned some more faith from her.

We had a great time at the club. An even greater one when we got back to my hotel. Yet, she’s sitting with her jaw clenched and her shoulders tensed as I drive this morning.

I reach over squeeze her hand. “You gotta trust me, Coach.”

It feels like a fucking broken record playing.

“I do.” She says it, but I don’t know that she totally believes it. “I hope you’re not taking me to another den of debauchery.”

Den of debauchery?

Spearmint Rhino should use that in their ad campaigns.

I bark out a laugh and shake my head. “I guess you’ll have to wait and see.”

But not for too long. Two blocks later, I turn into our destination.

She leans forward and stares up at the building with wide eyes. “An ice rink?” She turns and narrows her gaze on me. “What the hell are we doing here, Bash?”

“You’ll see.”

“You know your contract says you can’t play anywhere else, even a pickup game, right? I gave you and the rest of the guys the day off, so you’d all relax.”

I roll my eyes and park the car. “Stop asking so many questions and making so many assumptions, Coach.”

Most women don’t give me so much attitude—except Rach, but she doesn’t count. That’s kind of a little sister’s job.

Maybe that’s why this thing with Greer feels so different. She doesn’t make anything easy. I do love a good challenge, but I generally avoid anything that’s going to make my life more complicated.

This certainly isn’t uncomplicating my life, which probably means I should be looking long and hard at it. But I don’t have the balls to do that and risk losing her. Whatever this is between us, I like it. Probably too much.

She sighs and steps from the car. “You know we shouldn’t be seen in public together.”

It never ends.

I slam my door shut and rest my arms on the roof. “There you go again, Coach. Stop worrying so much. People won’t even think twice about us walking in here together.”

No trust.

I’m not stupid, and the fact that Greer seems to think I am is starting to grate on me the tiniest bit. If I didn’t understand where she’s coming from—the need and desire to protect both our careers—it might be offensive enough to really question continuing this. Because it’s only fun if she doesn’t really hate me and think I’m a fucking idiot.

But as it stands now, it’s somewhat entertaining to watch her fret over something she’s going to feel really silly about in a few minutes.
