Imogen As we both stand, I feel myself being pulled towards him, he is a magnetic force and I can’t resist him. I know I shouldn’t do this; I know in the long run it could end up hurting me even more than it already does. Fate can be a weird thing and at the moment our fate is on a thin line, who knows how bad things will get with Luna or how he will feel when he sees his baby for the first time. Cody reaches for my hand, and I allow him to take it. Tingles run instantly up and down my spine, the good kind. He moves slightly so we don’t have the table between us and pulls me into him. God, I’ve missed his strong arms around me, his woody scent and his pure hard chest as my head cradles against it. He tightens his grip on me. “I’m never letting you go, darlin’. You are my entire world; I can’t breathe without you. You are my lifeline, my oxygen.” He kisses the top of my head and I then lift my head. Our lips meet, his are so soft like silk as he presses against my own. I part my lip

Cody My heart is literally singing, and I am over the moon. I didn’t come here to see her by ditching my team on a night out after a win, expecting that Immi would agree for us to date again. That was a pipeline dream, I wanted to see her again, to talk to her and reassure her that if she wanted to wait until my kid is born, then I’d be patient. And being a hockey player, let me tell you I am a very patient and very determined man. You see, you all know how much I love this girl, like I told her, she is my oxygen. I can’t survive without her. To hear her tell me she’ll date me again is like music to my ears. Keeping it a secret, that’s going to be a little harder, but we can try. Then there’s the fact that I’m being drafted to Dallas in now just four weeks’ time. Soon after her opening, which I get that I can’t attend. She is right, it’d be total chaos and I don’t want that for her opening night. The long-distance thing and keeping our relationship a secret, Man, that is going to be

Imogen I wrap my arms around myself. He grins, his eyes shine and I can tell he is feeling as happy as I am. For now, I am totally ignoring all those nasty little red flags in my head and the hundred reasons why dating Cody again is a bad idea. I’m taking a leaf out of my momma’s book and going with my heart. “I’ve got to shoot, darlin’. I have to unpack and get organized for early practice tonight. You want to come over later and watch a movie and chill out with me?” How can I resist? “Absolutely. Are we going to sneak me in? Oh my god, do you remember our first time making out and Atlas knocked on the door?” I put my hand over my mouth as I giggle. It was funny thinking back but at the time it was not since I was off limits and Atlas would have literally killed Cody. He chuckles, I watch as his Adam’s apple bobs up and down. “I do. It definitely rained on me; I swear my dick has never gone down so fast.” “Are you still able to help with the painting? It’s okay if you can’t I und

CodyMan, it was such a pull to have to leave Immi at the restaurant, but I am beat with a capital B. I’ve not had any real sleep for over a month and with not sleeping at all in the last forty-eight hours and playing an intense game, I feel like I am about to collapse in a heap.It feels good to be home, I love this house and it’s going to be a shit to have to leave it next month when I go to Dallas. Atlas and I who are being drafted to Dallas together are talking about leasing something like a ranch outside of the chaos where we can have our own piece of tranquillity. I like the idea of riding again; I have the land here around my house by the lake but I’ve not invested in any animals purely because I am away so much and don’t think it’d be fair. Animals become attached to their owners just like we do to them. Maybe in five years when I decide to retire then I’ll have a couple of horses. One for me and one for Immi.I’m allowing myself to run away in my mind again but in all honestl

Imogen As soon as Cody left, I had to pull my phone out and message Autumn. As I wait for her to get back to me, I wash the cups we drank our coffee from and open my laptop up at the reception counter. I need to finalize the flyers to announce our opening and start getting these printed off. I also want to do the write up to send to our local paper for the press release and still need to contact some of the local shop owners to see if they are interested in coming along too. I’m thinking I need to also create some beautiful invites. I may have left a few of these details a bit late, but better late than never. I’m frissioned with excitement at my opening yet sick in my stomach at the same time. Since my restaurant into New York didn’t take off I am nervous at my new start-up. Okay, it didn’t exactly not take off, I had business, but the landlord of the unit just kept hiking the prices up. At least here I know the rental is set for the next two years with no increase, it is written in

Cody I’m reasonably pleased with how much I have actually managed to achieve and even getting a thirty-minute nap in after my shower. I’ve been shopping and have got the ingredients to make us a nice chicken with cream sauce, green beans with garlic and some mash potatoes. It was a bit of an ordeal since I couldn’t get past some of the aisles when people began to recognize me and ask for my autograph even though I wore my baseball cap down low, tucked my hair that’s now by my jaw line out of the way and wore shades. Yes, in the supermarket. When needs must. I’m thankful to my supporters but sometimes you just want to go out and do a quick shop and this trip that should have taken only twenty minutes or so ended up being forty-five minutes. They all wished me well and told me that I played a great game, oh and not to worry too much about Luna. Thankfully, I do still have a tonne of people who are on my side. Back home, I’ve put the potatoes in the pan to boil and the green beans I’ll

ImogenI read the message from Cody for the third time. Did he really say the guys have just turned up for an impromptu chill out night with some vid games and beers? Yes, he did say that, and not only did he say that he’s also told me that they all suspect I am dating him again.WTF? WTF? WTF? Seriously? Am I pissed off? Yes, you bet I am. Royally. This was supposed to be kept under wraps and how exactly did they find out? Well, Cody has assured me that he never told them only he said that Atlas could see he was clearly cooking for two and the table laid with candles and flowers has two place settings. I’d call that a hefty giveaway. I sigh.I have two options here. One, go over as planned - only if they’re all going to be there obviously not in my short dress I was going to wear with my red lacey lingerie. I know the guys will stay over if they have a few beers, although they may make themselves scare. Mm. I ponder. Or two, I could just give it a miss this evening, go home, read and

Cody“Guys can’t you just all leave already, you can see I’m going to have company?”“We want to see Immi, it’s been an age for us too, Bro.” Calli says. Typical. I knew they wouldn’t budget.“Yeah, and another thing. She told me she wanted to keep this under wraps so please do not mention anything to anyone. It’s still early days I only saw her this morning and she only agreed to see me tonight. I’m not sure how this will all go and if Immi can cope with Luna.”“We understand. Listen, we just want to say hi and then we’ll be out of your hair. We get the message; you don’t want to spend time with your brothers.” Nolan pipes up, I’m surprised he has managed to tear himself away from the screen since he has already started playing an online game. He’s usually not so easily distracted.“I get it, but I’m warning you Brannigan, if you hurt my sister I’m not going to be impressed.” God, I really don’t need all this shit right now. I just want a quiet night in with Immi and to reground ours

Bonus Epilogue – CodyI watch Immi holding our baby boy, who we called Miles, he’s just three months old and Immi is a natural mother. My heart swells watching her holding him in her arms whilst her mother fusses around her.Her father slaps me on the back, “you did us proud, Cody. I couldn’t wish for a better man for my grandbaby and little Summer. That girl is a firecracker, she’s got you eating out of the palm of her hand.”“Don’t I know it, Sir. My boy will be the same.” We chuckle as we watch my Minnesota team enjoy a few colds ones on the grass that leads down to the lake out back of my Lake home. Immi and I are back now, we’ve come full circle from the first moment she came back into my life to be my nutironist and the sparring of words that took place back then.Who’d have thought that in just two years I’d be married to my gorgeous wife, have a baby girl who totters around everywhere and is obsessed with her baby brother and a baby boy. We plan on going for six kids, hell I’d

Imogen – EpilogueLife has been wonderful to us; our wedding was a dream with all our friends and family around us and the entire hockey teams for Minnesota and for Austin. Of course, as Cody is such a big name, we had to have one of the top celebrity magazine photographers attending and the exclusive pictures in the magazine were amazing. My mom’s cake she made for us was something out of a movie, five tiers, with one chocolate and one vanilla sponge alternating to the top, frosted in a delicate cream frosting with an iced arch at the top, she even made tiny flowers to match the wedding flowers to decorate it. I’m telling you, my mother is a baking wonder.It's been a year since our wedding and I am the happiest I have ever been. Little Summer is crawling and sort of walking, I swear I need eyes in the back of my head. Her blonde curls are to die for and those big blue eyes of hers, well she is a daddy’s girl and the way that Cody is with her, it makes my heart melt. He is the best d

Cody – December 21st “You look worried, Man you need to chill out. She’s going to be here.” I take a look at Atlas in his striped, grey charcoal pants, his matching waistcoat, the button down white shirt and the cream cravat. We’re matching today, it seems surreal we match on the ice and now we match as I stand in the bedroom of my Lake House nervous as hell, about to go out the back and take my place to wait for my beautiful bride to come down the aisle on her daddy’s arm. I exhale.“I am chilled out, but what if I let her down? What if I’m not the husband she wants to spend the rest of her life with? What if she thinks she wants to fly?” He pats me on the shoulder.“Listen to me, Bro. I like that now we’re going to be proper bro’s no getting away from me now. She loves you, Immi is besotted with you, that girl knows her own mind and if she didn’t think you were right for her, she’d have off-skied a long fucking time ago. So, now stop. This is your day as much as it is hers and you n

ImogenSummer is a dream, honestly you couldn’t ask for a happier baby, she hardly cries and always holds out her chubby little hands when she sees me, and don’t even get me started on when she sees her daddy. Oh, my it makes my ovaries ache something crazy and I literally cannot wait the next two months for our wedding.Where has the time gone? It’s literally insane. Where to start, first Cody did bring the Stanley Cup home for Austin during the event in June. He is now officially a legend, the crowds went absolutely nuts for him and the team, we have been inundated with so much press and media attention that sometimes it feels stifling, but I have to accept it because being married to the man who won both years in a row for his teams with hattricks in both games, is going to be a major thing. He could happily hang his skates now if he wanted to. He has achieved all the dreams he ever had as a child in his ice hockey career. Although, I have to admit, I would miss going to the games w

CodyWatching Luna giving birth was surreal, she didn’t make a fuss or create and scream the hospital down, she took it all in her stride, showing her strength and dignity. Seeing the crown of my baby girl’s head brought tears to my eyes.We’re all in the private room and Luna holds our baby in her arms, swaddled in a pale pink blanket, Immi and I have both held her and oh my, I can’t begin to tell you the way I feel. My heart expanded and fluttered like crazy, the love that I feel for this tiny little girl is unbelievable and the way I want to protect her and keep her safe, Man it’s blowing my mind.“So beautiful, Luna.” Immi says her smile wide on her face, her eyes shining like diamonds. “I think she has Cody’s cute nose,” she touches the baby’s face, yes, we still need to name her.“Cody, can you take her, then settle her down, I’m pretty exhausted and will nap.”“Absolutely,” I extend my arms to take our baby girl. “Come here Princess my daddy’s little girl.” Immi giggles and I ca

Imogen – five months later“I’m coming hold on.” I shout to Cody as he calls me from the front door. We’re due to go riding this morning but we’re both on edge kind of as it has already gone past Luna’s due date by a week. She is totally fed up and just wants the baby to drop. NOW.I rush to step into my riding boots, Ben is coming with us - he has become a real fixture of our bizarre family set up. And the best thing is that he has gotten closer to Luna. How amazing is that since Ben would often keep Luna company on her cabin porch when Cody and I were travelling to his ice hockey games.Fallon has been a dream constantly popping over to see us and also Luna, to be honest I think she has found a friend in Luna too. They’re both in the same position with pregnancies and Fallon stopped travelling to the away games with Atlas about three months ago.Life can be weird at times but in a good way. The one person who caused so much heartache for Cody and I, is now a firm friend and not just

CodyHer pussy feels wet as I glide my fingers over the lace of her panties, Imogen is so damn beautiful it can bring me to my knees. “I missed you darlin’,” I tell her as I kiss her neck making her tingle and squirm, I know it’s a feeling of delight and tickling as she giggles at my touch.“You were only gone during today, Brannigan,” she giggles as I nip at her neck, whilst continuing to stroke through her soaking panties.“A second is too long to be away from you, I swear Immi you do something to me that makes me want to be glued to your side. It’s a job to take myself away from you.”“You’re such a smooth talker, Brannigan. I feel the same way.” I know she does, whenever we get the opportunity on my away games that she doesn’t travel with me, we make sure to call each other it seems like every few hours around the games and photoshoots, signing autographs, sponsor meetings and the such like. And when I am at practice hell, we still talk regularly in the day. I feel like I cannot b

Imogen – One Month LaterTime has gone by so quickly, and yes Cody did go on to play with a broken jaw in New York. I went with him and held my breath the entire game, least ways that is how it felt. One more injury and he could have been off the ice for a while. He’s a stubborn old mule is what he is, but they won and he went on to score a hat trick, for those of you who don’t know what that is, it’s when a player scored three goals in a single game. Of course Cody was over the moon, the crowd went nuts even the New York fans.So, where else have we travelled? Let’s see we played a couple of home games, we went to Winnipeg which was fun and I got to do some sightseeing and his folks came too. We are bonding much more and I am loving how much they care about me. His ma even made me a beautiful sweater even though we are heading into Spring, it’s a soft blush pink mohair with daisies. She is so clever, the last time I tried knitting it was a total disaster and I ended up having to ask

CodyWhat the fuck, did I pass out or something? I’m in a room with hooks up to me and darkness filtering through some lemon shade blinds, Immi is sitting by my bed holding my hands and tears on her face. “Hey darlin’,” I manage feeling like I have been run over by a truck or something, I ache in my ribs, my pelvis and my face is fucking sore.“Cody, baby. Are you in pain?”“Some it’s not so bad. What the hell happened?“You were taken down on the ice. They say you have a bad concussion and a broken nose, and your jaw is fractured.”“Hey, don’t cry it could have been a whole lot worse. Least ways I can still play.”“No way, Brannigan.” Just as she says that a man in his fifties or so comes in with dark hair, splattering of grey at the temples and kind green eyes, not dark or emerald just plain green like leaves in the spring.“Good to see you awake, Brannigan. You took several shots to the head. Your jaw is fractured, I am guessing this lady has already told you that. We assessed your
