I spent a whole, long night with him. Talking through bars. In jail.

​

I arrested him for trying to break into my friend’s house.
He said, “Call her husband. Tell him he needs to come save the fettuccine.”

What the F gang code is that?

​

Turns out, it’s just his nickname.

Massimo F*cking Tucci. Aka Fettuccine.
Hockey star. Walking headline. Owner of a panty-melting ass.

​

We clash on everything—except the tension that keeps getting hotter.

Hell, no.
I ain’t pucking sorry.
