“Hey didn’t you once buy some poster of Star Wars for like . . . twenty
grand?” Tuck asks as he plops down next to me where I’m alone at a table
for eight. It’s after dinner, and most of the players have wandered off to
dance with their partners.
“I have two, The Phantom Menace and The Last Jedi. Why do you
ask?” I say, then drain my fourth or fifth whiskey, embracing the burn of the
bourbon. The room isn’t spinning yet, which means I’ll need more. It takes
a lot to forget that my NFL career is over, my fiancée gone.
“Dude . . . are you listening?”
I focus back on Tuck, faking normal. “Yeah, sure.”
He grins. “Good. Your perfect woman just walked into our party. Like
a gift from heaven. We must make a plan.”
“Really.” I arch a brow.
“I hear your sarcasm, but come on, would I lie to my best friend?”
“Is water wet?”
He says something else, probably some wisecrack, but I miss it when a
woman laughs in the ballroom, light and airy. I close my eyes, inhaling a
sharp breath. For a second, she sounded like Whitney. See, the body can be
numb, but little things trickle in and haunt me. And football? Not playing
cuts like a razor blade, sharp and vicious. I can barely breathe when my
team takes the field without me.
I signal the server for another drink.
The waiter gives me a nod, pours it, and then rushes over and hands it
to me. I take a hearty sip under Tuck’s gaze.
“You never used to drink, Ronan. Don’t you think you’ve had
enough?”
Ha. This is nothing compared to those mornings when I wake up and
can’t recall details from the night before. “The girl? What’s it about her that
makes her perfect for me?”
“Look for yourself,” he says, nudging his head toward where she must
be. “You won’t believe what she’s wearing. Behind you and to your left.
Check it.”
With a heavy exhale, I loosen my tie and swivel in my seat and peer
around various players. I focus in on the girl about twenty feet away and
inhale as I get the full effect.
Whoa.
There’s no way anyone could miss her. Not with that getup.
What the hell was she thinking?
“She’s lost, yes?” he murmurs.
“Hmm,” I say as my eyes brush over her.
Beauty and the Baller by Ilsa Madden-Mills EPUB & PDFTall with pale-blonde hair, she’s wearing a costume, legit, like
Princess Leia—slave-girl version, the one where she was captured by Jabba
the Hutt. It’s a gold bikini with a red filmy loincloth over her hips. She’s
even got the sleek plaited high ponytail and golden knotted necklace. From
the metal snake cuff around her upper arm to the green lace-up boots, the
costume isn’t one of those cheap knockoffs from a Halloween store. It’s
damn perfect, and she wears it better than Carrie Fisher did in Return of the
Jedi.
