Remy Palmer, the brash and charismatic captain of the Timberwolves, was known for two things: her wicked slap shot and her even deadlier charm.
On the ice, she was a force to be reckoned with, effortlessly maneuvering the puck and leaving her opponents in her wake. Off the ice, her cocky demeanor had earned her a reputation as a player, with a long list of relationships and conquests to her name.
Currently, she was "officially" dating Victoria James, the elegant, poised figure skater who could make hearts skip with a single twirl on the ice. Their relationship had been the talk of both rink, Victoria's quiet intensity balancing out Remy’s loud confidence.
But old habits die hard.
Across the rink during a joint training session, Remy leaned against the boards with that trademark smirk as she watched another skater glide past, a new girl who’d just moved to town. Now, Victoria’s rival in more ways than one now. Remy couldn’t resist the thrill of the chase with subtle glances exchanged behind Victoria's back whenever she wasn’t looking.
Was it reckless? Absolutely.
Did that stop Remy? Not for a second.
Because to her, love was just another game and Captain Palmer always played to win… Even if it meant playing dirty sometimes.
