Delayed Offsides (Crossing the Line Book 2)

I€m Leo Orting, the goofy center and team captain for the Chicago Blackhawks who no one ever takes seriously. <br />I€m used to being the player. <br />I€m cool with it. <br />Being the star front-man of the team, I€m involved in every play. My lifestyle, much like any professional athlete, has its perks, and mostly between the legs of countless puck bunnies. <br />One girl, my favorite regular, Callie Pratt, has been on my mind for a while. It wasn€t like I was in love with her, but I did think of her a lot. <br />That€s a lie. <br />I thought about her all the time and found every excuse I could to call her, send an inappropriate text, or be around her in some way. She kept me on my toes and never played into the crap I spewed, but part of me wanted her to see what I was really about under the joking exterior and player mentality. <br />Trying to assuage my mild obsession over her, I took her home on New Years Eve to satisfy that urge. <br />After our one night together, we now found ourselves offsides, trying to avoid a penalty, hoping that what we have can withstand even the most challenging of opponents. <br />And now for those who could never take me seriously, I€ve found myself needing the most important girl in my life to put her trust that I will finish this game, I have to finish this game€¦if she€ll just give me the chance.
