The Axelridge Series Book 1 Finn's Slapshot

JAX

I clench my jaw as I ride the elevator up to my office.

The fucking nerve to show up at my practice? She thinks she can intimidate me? Fuck her.

The elevator dings and I leave the car. I walk down the hall and head into my office. The offices are really like small apartments with a sitting area in one room and the office door on the other side. Which I lock. What?

I stand in between my black couches and stare as I try to figure out why the door to my office is open a crack. I see a shadow move across the crack and my face twists into rage.

I go to a panel in the wall and put my hand on it. A red light scans my palm, it slides open and I pull out my mace.

I stride to the door, wringing the handle in pure anger and kick the door open.

“YOU BROKE INTO THE WRONG FUCKING…” I yell. I swing my mace up over my head as I rush in.

I stop when a leggy blonde turns around. She lifts her chin and arches a brow. She crosses her arms and kicks out a leg. “Really, Jaxton. Is that anyway to say hello.” The attitude was dripping off her.

I glare at her baby blue eyes. “I already said hello.” I snarl. “And goodbye.” I point to the fucking door as I carry my mace with me to my desk. I slam myself in my chair, kick my feet up on the top and slam the but end of my mace on the floor. I’m not putting up with her bullshit and I’m making sure that’s crystal fucking clear.

“Jaxton. I know seeing me again is a bit of a shock.” She stands tall and fixes her long, silky hair. The sun through my office window plays on it perfectly and I hate it.

“It’s a nightmare.” I growl.

“I realize I made some mistakes…” She inspects her fingernails.

I drop my feet, drop my mace and lean on the desk. I raise a brow and curl my lip. “Mistakes.” I slap my hands on my desktop and get up. “Mistakes.” I throw my hand out to her as I walk around the desk. She takes a few steps back as I approach her with my back up. She may be only a few inches shorter than me, but I’m much fucking bigger. I get right in her face with a deep, dark growl. “You call ripping my fucking heart out and making me eat it, just to prove who had bigger balls, a mistake?”

Her eyes study my face. “It wasn’t because of…”

“I am talking!” I yell and she juts back with a tiny bit of shock.

I point in her face. “You want equality, fine. I'll give you fucking equality. But I draw the fucking line at my field. You keep your ass away from the game.”

She scowls. “I have just as much right to play as you do.”

I get even closer. Her scent of licorice hits my nose and I ignore the fuck out it. “Until your balls become real, you won’t step one cleat on my field.”

She closes the gap. “If you’re threatened by me playing on the team, then it seems I’m not the pussy here.” She snarls.

I flare my eyes. “Stay out of my game, Audrey.”

She eyes me. “Make me, Jaxton.”

She whips around and her soft hair hits me in the face. She storms out the door and slams it.

The rage boils inside me and I grab my mace. With a thundering growl, I throw it at the door. The basketball sized, razor sharp, spiked ball shatters the door and I hear a loud yelp come from he lobby. The splinters settle and Audrey is slowly dusting herself off as she glares at me. My mace is stuck in the wall beside the front entrance.

I just stare fire into her soul and tick my head. Shots fired.

She fixes her hair as she regains her prim and proper composure. “Alright, Jaxton. Have it your way. Game on.”

She whips around and leaves. My shoulders heave. My body sweats and my anger rages as the pieces of my door fall off and the dust settles.

“Lax is my game.” I clench.
