INDIE

Earlier that night….

“ H ey little devil!”

I wiggled my fingers at the obviously stacked hockey player all masked out for the event, and wished, not for the first time, that Nia had decided to actually let loose and have some fun.

But I couldn’t blame her. After all, her divorce was barely final from the man she thought she’d spend forever with until she caught him with the nanny while their daughter almost drowned.

I shivered at the memory of the phone call from my cousin that day.

She agreed after much pleading to wear the angel to my devil, though my skirt was much shorter and the top more revealing.

Still, I called it a win.

Then again, she needed more than just a battery operated orgasm, and God knew hockey players were players in more than one way. Especially Theo Gerard.

The boy who broke my heart and had the worst rep even before the surprise kid popped up. Really, no one was surprised. Least of all me.

After all, Theo walked away from me to go back to his date. Maybe no that night, but given how many posts went viral showcasing girls with their tongues down his throat or signing their tits over his career, he wasn’t lonely long.

I spotted a Beetleju-yeah, Eden had me not wanting to say it now!

!! And knew instantly it was her bestie, Noah LeCavalier.

I laughed as he neared. “Eden told me, but oh my God, it’s even better in person!

!!! Tell me you have shrunken heads or something!

” I laughed as he did a very appropriate in character grin.

He patted his chest. “I’m sure I have one somewhere,”he muttered, then flung something at me. I squealed with laughter.

“Stop, it is!!!!!”

“I am nothing if not authentic. Plus Eden found them, so yeah.”

I stepped closer and laid my hand on his arm and grinned. “Here, I simple could not deprive you of this shrunken head.”

He backed away after stuffing it in his pocket with a grin and a wave. He pointed toward the area set up past the path that led into the woods. “You heading there I forget a head in my room and if a kid finds one, I don’t think I could forgive myself.”

Over my laughter, because he looked so adorable even in full ghoul makeup, and nodded, “I’ll be there in a bit. Kinda taking it all in.”

He waved one last time. I watched him walk away and leap up the steps back into the haunted house. With a sigh, I headed closer into the woods, when suddenly, I heard a snap and someone swept me up and over their shoulder.

Thank fuck he let go and walked back to the damn haunted house. Laying out my teammate wasn’t the best way to start off the season with a new team.

I let out a squeal as whoever grabbed me headed toward a gazebo that was just off the path in the semi darkened woods. My skirt rode up revealing more than any stranger deserved to see.

“Put me the fuck down now!”

“Not one more word, Indie, or I’ll spank you again like you deserve.” I stilled at the sound of that voice. “Keep squirming and I will really teach you a lesson.”

Theo?

Leaves and branches crunched he marched deeper into the woods, coming up on the small clearing where the gazebo sat.

Someone had placed four Jack-‘o-lanterns around the wood decking.

A small bench sat in the middle. Theo made his way to it and sat down, putting me over his knee, and removed the mask obscuring his face.

“Theo? What the hell are you doing? Let me go, or I swear I’ll-”

SMACK.

He spanked my ass again, and I moaned at the sting of pleasure that traced its way down my spine and settled deep between my legs.

“Now, Indie, I’m going to let you up in a minute, but before I do, I am going to make one thing fucking clear. Stay away from LeCavalier. And the rest of my team, or-”

I twisted, looking up at him, my hair falling over my shoulder with a glare. “Or you’ll what?”

He put a hand on the small of my back, locked gazes with me and spanked me again with his other hand.

I let out another yelp and bit back a moan. He moved me until I was on his lap. My eyes widened as I felt his very hard erection beneath my sore ass.

He grasped my chin. “Behave and stay away from my teammates, understood?”

I yanked myself out of my his grasp, and sneered, “I didn’t know they were your teammates. It’s not like I knew you were even in Montreal, asshole. And I will talk to whoever I want.” I tried to stand, but he stopped me . “Let me go,” I gritted out.

He let her stand, but then cornered me against a wood column and caged me in. Theo closed the distance until our mouths were almost touching. “Understood?” I shot him a death glare. Daring. Him to make me.

He closed the distance, crashing his mouth into mine. I moaned, trying to resist, but he was relentless, tasting and taking until I couldn’t stop him even as my hatred flared to life.

Theo pulled back and I touched my kiss swollen lips, breathless.

“I’ll be watching, Indie. Be good.”

And then Theo Gerard walked away from me a second time, leaving me turned on and pissed as fuck.
