KATRINA'S POV

I called.

It rang twice, then ended.

No voicemail. No reply.

I stared at her name on the screen, waiting for it to light up again. It didn’t. My fingers trembled slightly as I typed the message.

You need to call me. Now.

I had texted her ten minutes ago, and still nothing. A minute passed. Then another. Then four. The silence made my chest tight.

I knew she saw it. Melissa was the type who always kept her phone nearby. She could ignore a call, sure—but not a message. She was reading it. Thinking. Choosing not to reply.

And that hurt more than I wanted to admit.

My thoughts wandered back to the cafeteria. Back to the moment everything shifted.

Before that photo, it was just a regular break. I’d barely touched my salad. Kendra was ranting about a patient who tried to fake chest pain for free meds. Lisa kept showing us wedding photos of her cousin, and Tomi was locked in a debate over the most annoying kind of hospital call light.

It was noisy. Typical. A welcome distractio

  • BORROWED LOVE ON ICE    WAS HE READY?

    MELISSA'S POV The morning light slipped through the curtains of Xavier’s room, soft and golden, warming the edge of the bed where I lay tangled in the sheets. I turned my head, half-asleep, only to find him already awake, propped up on one elbow, studying me with a smile that was so gentle it made my chest flutter.“Good morning, sleepyhead,” he teased, his voice low and rough from sleep.I stretched with a yawn. “Morning. You’ve been staring at me, haven’t you?”“Guilty,” he said without hesitation, leaning down to brush a kiss against my forehead. “Couldn’t help it.”Heat crept into my cheeks, and I rolled onto my side to hide it. “You’re ridiculous.”He laughed, climbing out of bed and tugging on a T-shirt. “Come on. Breakfast.”I thought he meant room service, but a few minutes later I found myself in his sleek, polished kitchen, barefoot in one of his hoodies, helping him hunt down a frying pan and arguing about the right way to crack eggs. He insisted he was the better cook, t

  • BORROWED LOVE ON ICE    BACK TO MANCHESTER.

    MELISSA’S POV The remaining days of our vacation after the party rolled by far too quickly. One minute we were swaying under fairy lights, sand clinging to our feet, laughter spilling freely into the night. The next, we were squeezing every last drop of joy from the trip—sightseeing, buying souvenirs from small shops tucked into busy streets, sampling foods I never thought I’d have the courage to taste.We took silly pictures everywhere we went. Xavier, who usually carried himself with a sort of calm, confident edge, was surprisingly playful. He pretended to be a tour guide once, pointing at random statues and inventing ridiculous stories about their origins. I laughed so hard I had tears in my eyes, clutching my stomach while tourists glanced at us like we were crazy.We tried fresh seafood by the docks, where the smell of saltwater and fried batter hung heavy in the air. Xavier wasn’t a fan of the oysters, but he ate them anyway because I dared him to. I, on the other hand, discov

  • BORROWED LOVE ON ICE    I JUST WANTED TO LIVE IN IT.

    XAVIER’S POV Morning came by faster than I imagined. For a second, lying in that soft bed with the faint hum of the AC filling the silence, I thought everything that had happened yesterday was some kind of dream. Maybe my mind had created a fantasy too good to be true. But when I shifted slightly and my arm tightened around something warm, soft, and real, I blinked open my eyes to find Melissa nestled against me.She looked so peaceful, her lips slightly parted, her lashes brushing her cheeks. Even in the dim orange glow filtering in from the curtains, she looked breathtaking. Angelic. I had seen her fierce, stubborn, playful, teasing—but like this, in my arms, she looked fragile in a way that made me want to protect her from everything.I leaned in and pressed the lightest kiss to her forehead. She stirred, frowning a little as if she wasn’t ready to leave her dreams. Then her eyelids fluttered open, and hazel eyes met mine. The corners of her lips curved up lazily, and for the fi

  • BORROWED LOVE ON ICE    I FELT CHOSEN

    MELISSA’S POV My body felt like it had been stretched, tested, and set on fire all at once. I hadn’t expected it—not this soon, not like this. But after the heat between us boiled over earlier, after his lips claimed mine with that intensity that could melt ice, there was no holding back.Now I was sore, in places I had only imagined, in ways that left me both weak and completely alive. Every muscle hummed with the echo of his touch, every inch of my skin carried the memory of him and gosh, I was exhausted. So much that I drifted into sleep almost instantly, my body pressed against his warmth, my cheek resting on his chest as if that spot was carved out just for me. Just as sleep was about to pull me under, I felt the softest kiss land on my forehead. Then barely above a whisper, I heard him murmur, “I love you Mel”. It was so faint I almost thought I imagined it, but the way my heart fluttered told me I hadn't. A small smile graced my lips as I let the warmth of his words carry me

  • BORROWED LOVE ON ICE    SCREW CAUTION

    MELLISA'S POV The air in the room was thick with heat, the kind that clung to your skin and made every breath feel heavy with anticipation. I stood there, heart pounding, my mind a whirlwind of desire and recklessness. Screw caution. Screw rationality. All I could focus on was Xavier, his presence overwhelming, his scent, a mix of cedarwood and something dangerously primal, flooding my senses. My body was already betraying me, tingling with a need I could not ignore, a deep ache that pulsed through my veins and made my knees weak with longing.One moment, he was hesitant, the next, his hands were on me, yanking my bikini top away with a swift, confident tug that sent a thrill racing down my spine. The fabric hit the floor, and I gasped, the cool air hitting my bare skin like a shock, hardening my nipples instantly under his gaze. His eyes, dark and molten, locked onto mine, and I swear I saw a flicker of something wild in them, a predatory gleam that made my pulse quicken even more.

  • BORROWED LOVE ON ICE    TEMPTATION IN A BIKINI

    XAVIER 'S POV The next day wasn’t loaded with any activities. Melissa and I had decided that in the evening we’d head down to the beach, unwind a little, maybe grab some drinks, and just breathe without cameras flashing in our faces. It sounded simple, but with her, even the simplest moments felt like fireworks waiting to go off.In the hours leading up to that, I lounged lazily on the couch, half scrolling through my phone and half watching her as she moved around the suite. She disappeared into the bathroom, and I didn’t think much of it—until she stepped out again.Melissa walked out in a bright yellow bikini, the kind that demanded attention whether you wanted to give it or not. The fabric clung to her curves in a way that made my throat tighten. She paused right in front of the mirror, pretending to adjust the straps, but I felt like she was doing it for me. She caught my eyes and tilted her head.“So… what do you think?” she asked, her voice casual, but there was a playful edg
