(Beckett)

I knew she wouldn't be able to hold out. I just f*****g knew it, but damn am I going to enjoy punishing her for that.

I could feel my mouth spreading into a vicious grin as the memory of Elodie wrapped around my waist had me smirking like the Cheshire cat himself.

I didn't expect her to admit what she did. Hearing those words had my palms itching to tear her damn clothes off and take her right there against the wall, but I needed to handle something first.

Hopefully, Elodie will be too scared to reach out to Hudson tonight. I'm sure she is more worried about what I'm going to do to her than what happened with that prick.

After the douchebag practically ripped her off of me, I had to make sure Elodie missed as much of the conversation as she could. I could see the guilt rising and there was no f*****g way I was going to let her leave with him.

I don't know how I'm able to read her so damn well, but I swear it's more of a feeling than anything. Like I can sense her emotion or some s**t. f**k, I don't know what is wrong with me.

I quickly lifted my hand before balling it into a fist then proceeded to punch my cheek a few times, trying to knock some damn sense into myself. I needed to stay on task and get this s**t under control.

Luckily I switched things up a little so having Elodie start to fall for me was exactly how the plan was supposed to go.

But me having some type of feelings for her?

Fuck no, that's not part of the plan. And yet here I am, smirking like some i***t as the taste of her cherry lips still coats my tongue.

I reached over, wiping my mouth before dipping my finger in and sucking. f**k, why did I want it to be her p***y I was tasting instead?

I plan on keeping my f*****g promise and will be going to her place after this. Yeah, she might not take it well when I just show up, but I will chalk it up to it being her punishment.

It shouldn't make her suspicious. Or at least she will be too afraid to ask the necessary questions in the heat of the moment.

God, I can picture her now. Those green eyes will be wide with fear as she stares up at me so f*****g innocently.

I felt my c**k twitch, the thought of her touching herself with me watching almost had me stroking my c**k right here as I stifled a groan. I won't lie, I have seen her in those pretty little cotton panties. How she is lying there on the bed with her shirt pulled up to her stomach, almost like she is taunting me.

I might be a little crazy but I'm not some f*****g creep. I just pull her blanket up and behave myself.

Okay, I might've taken one pair of panties but it was more out of curiosity than anything.

Fuck! Something is seriously wrong with me.

I began walking towards the locker room, completely ignoring the puck bunnies that waited just outside as I practically shoved them out of the way. They knew not to talk to me, that was damn sure. But on occasion, there would be one dumb enough to try and shoot her shot.

Luckily this time there didn't seem to be any of those. I'm hoping that little stunt with Elodie would help deter the puck bunnies as well, maybe it actually f*****g worked.

I went to push through the locker room doors, hearing the guys talking and laughing just behind them as I stepped inside.

That's when a hush fell over the room, making me almost laugh at the sudden change in the atmosphere.

So, Hudson was still here then. Good, I thought he would be waiting around for me.

I walked straight for my locker, feeling all eyes were on me as I couldn't help but smirk.

Even Pete and Ace kept their mouths shut as I walked right past Hudson and went to my locker.

"We need to talk." Hudson snapped immediately, making me scoff.

"About what?"

Yeah, that got to him. I watched as Hudson's fist slammed into the locker beside me, making excitement start to bubble up as I tried to swallow it down. I need to keep my cool, that's what pisses him off the most.

I loved seeing Hudson's perfect persona start to crack. f**k was it incredible. But knowing Elodie was thinking about me while getting off and not him was the best part of all of this.

I wonder what he would think about that little piece of information. Too bad I won't tell him, yet.

"Bullshit! You know exactly what I want to talk about! Elodie is off limits, everyone knows that." He growled, looming behind me as I entered my locker code before opening the door smoothly.

"Hmm, I must've missed that briefing. You know I don't attend morning practices." I say casually, feeling the rage rolling off of him as a few guys around us tried not to react.

"Cut the s**t, Storm. This isn't a f*****g joke. Whatever you are trying to do, why don't you address it with me like a man, leave Elodie out of this." He yelled, making my eye twitch as I tried not to react.

I bent down, going to untie my skates as Hudson just lingered behind me.

"I'm not the one with a problem here. Elodie is an adult, I'm not forcing her to do anything she doesn't want to. And trust me, she wants to-"

"You f*****g prick!" Hudson yelled, going to lunge at me as I welcomed it fully. I wanted to punch him in the face so f*****g badly right now.

"Woah! Just calm down Hudson!" Ace rushed, going behind him as he looped his arms around Hudson's torso, holding him back.

"Yeah, calm down Hudson. I'm going to take really good care of her, I can promise you that." I winked, unable to help myself as Hudson broke free of Ace before slamming into me. I felt my back hit the lockers with a thud. The adrenaline started to fill my veins as I felt my heart begin to race.

Moments like this were when I felt the most alive. I felt like a living breathing person with feelings. I felt f*****g normal. Oddly enough, the only other time I get this feeling is when I'm with Elodie.

Suddenly Hudson bent his head down, coming closer to my ear.

"You don't f*****g fool me, freak. Stay the hell away from Elodie or I will let everyone know what you have been hiding." Hudson hissed, the words he spoke caused my eyes to widen as I felt my heart leap into my throat.

There's no f*****g way he knows. There can't be. My dad made sure to hide all of that. I was just a damn kid when it happened so all of the records should be sealed.

He is just trying to intimidate me and I won't let him.

"By the way you are reacting, some might think you are jealous. Are you sure she is just a little sister to you? Because if this is jealousy, I don't think that's how those types of relationships work." I laughed, shoving Hudson back before grabbing the collar of his shirt and twisting.

I could see the fabric start to cut into his throat, blocking his airway as he began gasping for air.

"Or are you just mad because Elodie finally realized you aren't the only guy in the world anymore? God, there are so many things I can teach her too."

Okay, I admit I sounded like a prick saying that, but I wanted him to hit me, so f*****g bad.

"You should hear this little sound she makes when I'm sucking on her neck-"

Yep, that did it.

I watched as Hudson's fist came flying towards my jaw making me brace myself for the impact as I welcomed it eagerly.

"That's enough! Break it up!" Coach Wheeler shouted through the locker room just as Hudson punched me in the face.

"What the hell is going on in here?!" He continued, yanking us apart as he looked towards Hudson in bewilderment.

Hudson just stood there, trying to catch his breath as he stared at me angrily.

"No one's going to talk, huh? We should be celebrating right now! Instead, I come in here seeing you two going at it. Lee, in my office now!" He barked before glancing towards me as I wiped the blood away from my now busted lip.

"Storm, get yourself cleaned up. I expect you all to be here at 5 a.m. tomorrow. I'm running practice." He shouted, making everyone give a resounding yes coach before he turned his attention towards me once more.

"Storm, I liked your teamwork out there today, but I expect that off the ice too from now on. You got it?"

"Yes Coach." I said firmly, and that's when the coach turned around and headed towards his office where Hudson was now waiting.

I went to my locker and quickly stripped off my jersey.

"Dude, you know that was messed up. You could've at least given him a heads up." Ace suddenly spoke up behind me as I went to reach for my phone.

"Why? We aren't friends and it's not like they were dating." I stated firmly, opening up the locator app I installed on Elodie's phone.

Good, she was already at her place.

Finally, she actually listened to me for once.

"Beckett, you know it's more than that. Elodie means a lot to Hudson. Yeah, he pretends he doesn't like her like that, but we all know he f*****g does."

Okay, that pissed me.

I finished getting dressed before slamming my locker yet again and turning to face Ace.

"No, he is just mad that Elodie isn't following him around anymore like his little pet. If he liked her, he wouldn't be trying to f**k her best friend." I snapped, losing my cool for a moment as Ace's eyes widened in shock.

That's when he looked around, making sure no one was close enough to hear that as most of the guys seemed to fan out after coach blew up.

"Ari?" Ace whispered, but I didn't confirm. I was done with this bullshit for tonight.

"So don't believe that bullshit about Hudson secretly liking El. Even if he did, she doesn't deserve to be the back up option."

I stated adamantly, walking away from him as I knew without a doubt that was the most honest thing I had said tonight.

Hudson doesn't deserve Elodie, she is so much better than him and the messed up part is that she doesn't even realize it. If anything positive comes out of this, it's going to be that.

I'm going to make Elodie Jones realize just how much better than that asshole she truly is.

Let's just hope I don't screw myself over in the process.
