“Shut her down. My dad is a hockey coach, and he’s taught me a thing or two about fighting.”
He chuckles. “That’s kind of hot. So an assistant and a bodyguard, looks like I’m getting a bargain.”
“You are, so tell me . . . anyone I need to look out for?”
He shakes his head. “Nope. Never really been in a relationship long enough to cause drama.”
“Have you been in one at all?”
“Um, not really. Never called this one girl my girlfriend. More like, I saw her a few times, went out on a few dates, and then we went our separate ways.”
“Did she end things, or did you? Just trying to gauge if it’s a you problem or a them problem.”
“I ended it,” he says as the arena comes into view. Another thing I love is how close he lives to the arena, but still has a piece of history with his older building. “Just wasn’t interested. Wasn’t invested. Didn’t want to waste her time.”
“Think you could ever find someone to settle down with?”
“Maybe,” he says. “Probably after I retire. I don’t think too much about it now.”
“Not even with all of your boys now tied up in relationships?”
“The only thing annoying about that is they don’t hang out as much.”
“That’s so sad. Well, if you ever need someone to hang out with, I can be there for you . . . bra and all.”
His eyes flash toward my chest, then back up to my face. “Yeah, I can see that.”
LEVI
Levi:I did it, I ignored the double down. I ended up driving her into the arena, and we had a really good conversation. I felt normal, and what we talked about, well . . . loads ofthings. It made me like her even more, but not just physically. Emotionally, and that doesn’t happen with me very often.
Penny:I don’t know what we should do. Should we clap for him?
Ollie:I think we need to.
Blakely:The fact that he was able to drive the atomic bomb of tits without crashing . . . that deserves an applause.
Winnie:We are so proud of you, Posey.
Levi:Thanks, ladies. I feel good.
Penny:So then, are we done with this?
Levi:Oh no, not even close. This was just a breath of air. I’m sure something will come up where I’ll require your assistance. I’m going to need you on standby at all times.
Blakely:It’s funny that you thought we were done, Penny.
Penny:High hopes, I guess.
Ollie:We still need to figure out why she double downed.
Winnie:I have a theory. Do we think she’s into S&M? Maybe she’s a domme and wants to control him with her breasts.
Penny:Huh, that’s an interesting theory.
Ollie:Maybe this assistant thing is all a ruse, and she and her dad are working together to assist her in finding a sub since it’s been so hard, and Coach Wood saw weakness in you.
Blakely:Ooo, I like that. I could see Posey as subservient. I mean, he said he thrives on pain.
