Chapter 67
I barely process the words and the sinister intention behind them. My legs feel like they’re moving through water, so slow and unsteady that I pride myself for standing up straight. The room tilts, or maybe it’s just my head, but I grip the edge of the counter to keep from swaying.
I need to think. I need to get out of here.
Stone takes another step closer, and my stomach turns.
“Why aren’t you saying anything, princess? You’re looking at me like I’m some kind of monster,” he murmurs, amusement flickering across his face. “But I know you, baby. You like playing hard to get.”
“Except I’m not playing,” I say through gritted teeth.
“Really?” He hums, like he’s considering my words, but his eyes stay locked on mine. “Well we can’t have that, can we?
“What the hell are you even doing?” I try and fail to calm my racing heart, then resort to pushing him away, but the moment my hands push against his chest, he holds my wrist in a vice grip. He exhales slowly and I nearly choke on the stench. “You’re too close.”
“I don’t think I’m close enough actually,” his smile is all yellowed teeth.
He pulls me by the wrist and I let out a yelp before falling into his chest. I struggle against him, but it’s no use.

“I should have done this a long time ago, but you just had to play hard to get, didn’t you? You’d fuck every guy that chases a puck on ice then reject me?” As if he remembered something, his lips curl into a scowl. “That shit you pulled with Liam, you shouldn’t have done that either. Already knew you were a whore, but I didn’t take you for a snitch too.”
I twist my wrist, trying to break free, but his grip tightens. Pain shoots up my arm.
“Let go of me,” I grit out, shoving at his chest with my free hand.
“Why? Scared now that you don’t have prince charming hanging off your arm? You were more mouthy when Liam was around.”
“Are you fucking serious right now?! I said let go.”
The look in his eyes tells me he’s far gone. My stomach churns. “You know after you left with him I kept replaying every word. You see, I couldn’t stop thinking about it, not even while I fucked Toby’s girl.”
I know Toby. He’s Stone and Zane’s teammate. So the girl hanging off his arm that day was Toby’s girlfriend.
For some reason, maybe it’s too many drinks or that I actually like Toby. He was nice enough to me when I was with Zane.
It’s probably neither of the above. Actually, it’s most likely Stone‘ s breath fanning against my cheek.
But nausea builds up in my throat and I suddenly don’t feel so good.
“I guess I’m not the only WAG you’ve harassed.”

As expected, my words fly over his head.
“Pathetic scum? Me?” Stone chuckles but he looks half mad. “Coming from a fairly used hockey bitch.”
Suddenly, I’m sick and tired of his condescension.
Sure, this situation is far from ideal. He’s much stronger than me and has me pinned against the wall and if I inhale his breath one more time I might just throw up, but I’ve never been known for my critical thinking skills or high sense of self preservation.
Right now, both seem non–existent.
My smile is pained. “Well this fairly used hockey bitch would rather be thrown off this cruise than have you ‘use‘ her. That must really suck, huh? And how did Toby’s girl let you near her with that breath of yours?”
The smile is wiped off his face and he lets out a growl and frees my wrist.
I take it as a chance to escape, finally sobered up enough to make a run for it, but I must miscalculate his strength and put too much faith in my clear–headedness because I trip over my feet the same time he pins me against the wall once more, this time his hands are tightly wrapped around my throat, blocking my windpipe.
I try to breathe but each time I inhale, I’m met with Stone’s halitosis.
“Don’t make this difficult, baby,” he murmurs, leaning in closer until I’m flush against him. His cologne is suffocating as well. “You owe me. Why did you have to talk to me like that? Why

couldn’t you just have been a good girl and spread your legs when I asked? I’ve waited patiently all these years, don’t you think I deserve a reward?”
I jerk my knee up, aiming for his gut, but he shifts at the last second. My hit lands, but not hard enough. He grunts, grip loosening just slightly, and I use the opportunity to claw at his arm. My nails scrape against skin, but he only laughs, grabbing both my wrists now.
