Cold Fury Hockey Series

Chapter 1

Max

I stick the nozzle in as tank, depress the handle, and flip the catch down to hold it in place Letting the gas flow on its own, I head across the nearly eas station, which is lit up like a bright beacon out here on Possue is e to break down and buy some junk food for my dinner I just won't tell Vale about it, as I don't feel like listening to her bitch at me

Vale Campbellpretty as hell and nice to look at, but I dread having to hang out with her That's because she's one of the assistant athletic trainers for the Cold Fury, and th and conditioning She would most certainly say Snickers, Cheez-Its, and root beer are not onburpees, mountain climbers, and box jumps until I puked

Pulling the door open, I i out the stock of beer Both wearing wifebeaters stained with grease and faded ball caps I, myself, pull my own hat down farther to hide ht It's late, I want to getpractice tomorrow

I turn right down the first aisle, which houses the chips and other such snacks, slightly aware the other two custo to the counter to check out I keep my back to them just to be safe and peruse the options

Potato chips

Doritos

Corn nuts

Reaching for a bag of salt-and-vinegar potato chips, I hear one of the guys drawl in a typical North Carolina redneck accent, "Hey, sweet thang How 'bout a pack of Marlboro Reds and how 'bout handing e size"

The redneck's cohtly to see theuy nudges the other guy to egg hiet the condoms, the redneck leans across the counter and stares blatantly at the woh that I hear, so I know the woman hears, "Mmmmmthat is a fine ass"

Turning my body full so I face the counter, I see the woman's back stiffen and she turns her face to the left to look at a closed doorway beside the rack that holds all of the cigarettes I'er or another e for some help

But she doesn't wait and turns to face the two assholes, squaring her shoulders

And god daold polyester vest she wears with a na--clearly a uniforh cheekbones, a straight nose that tilts slightly at the end, and full lips that look sexily puffed even though they are flattened in a grimace Her hair is not blond, but not brown I'd describe it as caramel with honey streaks and it's pulled back fro froht across her forehead

While she faces the two men resolutely, I can see wariness in her eyes as she sets the cigarettes and condoms on the counter in front of them "Will that be all?"

Her voice has a southern accent but it's subtle She looks back and forth between the two aze

Redneck number one nods to the twelve-pack of beer he had placed on the counter and says, "That was the last of the Coors You got any in your storage room?"

"Nope, that's it," she says firmly, and I can tell it's a lie
