End Game (New York Stars Book 1)

Gracie: Your first goal tonight was chef’s kiss good. You worked well with Kerrigan too. Though, I agree, he’s a total goal suck.

Liam: You keep giving me compliments. I’m getting a complex.

Gracie: Fuck off. You did great.

Liam: 😉

Gracie: Still on track to be back in the city at midnight?

Liam: Yup. You gonna be at my apartment?

Gracie: Yeah. Thought I’d sleep here tonight. You can debrief me in the morning about how things went with Noah. He was pouting like a baby even before the OT.

Liam: That’s offensive to babies.

Gracie: Still a sore loser, I take it lol

Liam: The worst.

Gracie: Did I tell you I got Greco on board for the outreach program?

Liam: That you accomplished that makes you more terrifying than homeland security.

Gracie: Now who’s giving compliments?

Gracie: Don’t you want to know what I did?

Liam: It’s either sex-related blackmail or some other BS that’s compromising and it’ll kill my buzz.

Gracie: You’d be right.

Liam: As long as it’s not illegal, I don’t give a crap.

Gracie: They’re hosting weekly parties where they bring in a bunch of hookers and take this new drug that’s doing the rounds.

Liam: FUCK.

Liam: Have you reported them?

Liam: Dumb question. Of course, you haven’t. I just played a goddamn game with them.

Liam: You should have told Bradley.

Gracie: And fuck up the roster? Nah. I’m not about to ruin that when this drug, RED, isn’t gonna show up on any blood tests.

Liam: You don’t know that.

Gracie: I do… It’s not that kind of performance-enhancing drug.

Liam: What?

Gracie: Oh, Liam. Stop killing MY buzz. ERECTIONS, dude. It’s to maintain erections for longer.

Liam: Viagra?

Gracie: Nope. RED.

Liam: What did you do, Gracie?

Gracie: Got one of your bodyguards to follow them and to take photos of the deal going down.

Gracie: Unfortunately, I didn’t kill two birds with one stone. Only Greco was there… That’s why he’s not gonna bitch about the outreach program. I’m working on Raimond.

Liam: Jesus Christ, Gracie!

Gracie: I stayed out of it!

Liam: You. Should. Have. Told. Bradley. For no other reason than it would have kicked that asshole off MY team.

Gracie: He’s one of the best goalies around. Don’t kid yourself and think he isn’t.

Liam: GTG. Sleep. Don’t bother waiting up. We’ll talk about this tomorrow.

Gracie: Fine, fine. See you in the morning then.

Gracie: Killjoy.
