Fighting Their Attraction
Page 10
Arielle floated out onto the ice, killing further conversation. “You got this, baby,” he murmured.
The music started, and his leg stopped moving. Like everyone in the arena, his gaze was fixed on the woman he loved as she glided from one jump to another. From one spin to the next. Her energy was high, and her smile was wide. She’d never looked more beautiful than she did the second she finished, one hand on her hip, the other in the air.
Brady leaped from his seat, clapping and whistling loudly. “I think she’s going to score well.”
“No doubt, that was a stunning routine,” Maybelle agreed.
Brady sat back down, and the applause from the audience quieted while they waited for the scores to be announced. He watched on the screen as Arielle and her mom and dad hugged in the waiting area. She was waving at the camera. He couldn’t have loved her more in that moment. She looked so happy. Then she winked and blew a kiss at the screen, and he laughed. Without a doubt, that was for him.
His leg began lifting up and down again as her score of 150.94 was put up on the screen. When the combined score of 224.89 flashed up, a roar resounded from the crowd. The camera returned to Arielle and her parents; they were all crying.
She’d done it. His girl had won gold.
When Arielle broke from her mom’s embrace and returned to the ice, Brady didn’t think, he only acted. He made his way past Maybelle and Bohdan, skipping down the stairs until he reached the rink surrounds. Arielle’s smile widened when she spied him, and she skated over to him, ignoring the flowers being thrown on the ice. He reached over the barricade and pulled her into a tight embrace before kissing her soundly on the lips. “Congratulations. You were fantastic. Flawless. I’m so proud of you, Ari. I love you.”
She laughed and hugged him tighter. “I love you, too. I’ll treasure this medal. But I’ve already won the best prize.”
Brady brushed his thumb across her cheek and whispered in her ear, “We both have.”
