psychologist?” When Sarah chuckled, he grinned. He liked making her laugh.
    Sebastian rubbed his chin, the overlong hairs tickling the ends of his fingers. Did she like her guys clean-shaven or with some scruff?
    Oh yeah, head in the game. He swallowed hard. “I want to make the team. I know I can play well and help them, you know? I can play both center and wing, but you probably already knew that.”
    “Keep going.” She hadn’t looked up from her paper, and Sebastian was grateful she hadn’t since he was stammering like an idiot and the heat was rising in his face.
    “I think I am a good scorer, but I try to play well at both ends of the rink. I’ve even played defense.”
    “Really? Huh.”
    “I don’t want to play defense though.” He hastened to add. “I just can if I have to. I like forward. I like to score.”
    Did I just say I liked to score? Merde! Sebastian’s face flamed even more, and he cursed his pale skin.
    “What do you see as your role on this team?” Sarah reached back and ran her fingers through her hair.
    Sebastian was riveted to the sight, and when Sarah returned her attention to him, her eyes turned dark with heat and her hands dropped onto her lap. Is she feeling the same interest, the same pull toward me? He got dizzy just considering it. His groin betrayed him, tightening until he feared for his circulation. Leaning forward a little in an effort to disguise the huge erection he now sported, his gaze traveled from her eyes, to her mouth, to her breasts then back to her face again. He couldn’t help himself. Hell, he wasn’t even trying to stop anymore.
    She cleared her throat. “So, um, your role?”
    “O-o-oh, my role. Eh, well, I’m a young guy. I’m a good skater, and I’m in good condition. I’m a team guy. I’ll do anything for my teammates. I mean, I want to play on this team very much. It’s my dream.”
    Geez, could I sound like more of an idiot?
    “Okay, why don’t we continue this tomorrow? It’s late, and I should let you get home.”
    “I live with Rob. It’s better than living in a hotel, and he doesn’t care when I get home.”
    She knows I live with Rob. Why am I still talking?
    Shut it, you moron!
    “I see.” Her face betrayed nothing, but she shifted in her seat.
    Could it be true? Was the overwhelming attraction mutual? Was that why she kicking him out now?
    God, yes, please, I want her.
    “Yeah, okay, we can talk more tomorrow.” Sebastian bounded from the chair then fled the room. Once back in the locker room, he collapsed against the wall.
    What am I gonna do?Will she laugh in my face if I ask her out? And she’s like a coach here, which is a little weird. Is there some rule about staff and players dating?
    With a sigh, he went to his car. He’d have to try to read Sarah to figure out how she might react if he tried to take things beyond friendship or working together, as if he wasn’t watching her enough already. If he did and she rejected him, he’d feel really stupid. She was sophisticated, and he liked that. He was tired of the games girls his age played. Sarah probably didn’t even realize how sexy she was. If he had anything to say about it, she’d know without a doubt.
     

 
     
     
     
     
    Chapter Three
     
    On one of the final days of training camp, as Sarah packed up to leave for the day, a soft knock on the door surprised her. It’s after nine. Who can that be at this hour?
    With any luck, it wasn’t Jaroslav. She’d had another incident with him during his interview. He’d asked her out again and hadn’t wanted to take no for an answer. In no uncertain terms she’d told him she wasn’t interested, but flashbacks of the attack in her past had been unsettling her since.
    After wiping her damp palms on her pants, she opened the door, ready to defend herself if needed. Sebastian stood in khakis and a button-down shirt with the top two buttons open revealing an expanse of smooth skin. She frowned. It was odd for him to be
