INICIAR SESIÓNCHAPTER 13 SOPHIEMy heart clamped, my hair slapping over my face from my fast movements. “Goddess, Jaxon. You… scared me.” His eyes narrowed, and though he held no anger, they had something else. Something I could not decipher. I swallowed, knees buckling as I took a step back. “Um, Jaxon, I…” I looked around, watching the students that passed hurry to their classes, not quite recognizing the Hockey star before me. “I… can’t go on with dating— fake dating you.”“We made a deal.” “I know,” I whispered, forcing my gaze to the ground. I was such a fool to think this could work in any way. I wasn’t as bold as Maddison to pull this off. “I know, and I’m sorry.”Jaxon huffed a breath, and my breath hitched when he closed the distance, his fingers gripping my jaw to look up to him. “You can’t break our deal off, not until my part of the deal is secured.”My brows furrowed, “You wanted to get a raise out of him, you got more than that, he lost his hockey game, Jaxon
CHAPTER 12SOPHIEMy throat burned, and my eyes parted open. icy shivers ran down my naked body, and I wrapped an arm around myself. Ace’s eyes were wide with… what what? I did not know. But… he wasn’t speaking.why wasn’t he speaking? Was I… not what he expected? Disgust rolled into my stomach. “Ace?” I whispered, eyes softly pleading.”Gods,” Ace breathed, his eyes pushed up to meet mine, and a terrific look planted over his face. One that sent my entire heart shattering into a million fucking pieces. He… did he hate it?He turned, backing me as he raked his fingers through his hair, violently dragging across his strands. “Fuck. Fuck. FUCKING HELL, Sophia!” I watched him in horror as fear streaked through his eyes. “What in the goddess’ name are you doing to me?” It was a whisper, a pleading whisper.“I…” my throat itched as shame tore into my body. What have I done? “I’m sorry, this was a mistake,” I grabbed the duvet and threw it over my body. “I’m so sorry.”My eyes pooled as
CHAPTER 11SOPHIE“ACE!” The scream tore from my throat, fear rattling my bones as I pulled the duvet over my naked form.No, no, no. It couldn’t be, we couldn’t have… right?The door slowly peeled open, and in all his glory, Ace Beckham stood, arms crossed over his black on black clothes, and body leaning against the door frame. “While I like the sound of you screaming my name, Sophie,” he frowned, “it is six in the morning.”My chest heaved, “Wh-what am I doing in your bed?” I was shaking, my eyes falling down to my duvet covered body. He rolled his eyes, “Why do you think? I carried you here.” I blinked, fingers digging into the duvet. “Why… would you carry me here? I have my room and—““Connect the dots, Sleeping beauty.” My head wavered, and the memory slammed into me. Goddess, I had slept off in Josh’s room. “Oh heavens,” I slammed a free hand on my forehead, how could I have been so stupid? But why did not send me to my room instead? My gaze went to my body again, and my b
CHAPTER 10SOPHIE“Hey, hey,” Maddison caught my arm before I could run past her. “Sophie, what— goddess, you are crying.” Her eyes softened, and my breath hitched, a fresh wave of tears pooling my lids. “I.. I don’t want to fake date anymore, Maddie.” I choked out, falling into her as I wrapped my arms around her neck. “Please don’t make me. I can’t… I can’t get over Ace. I just can’t, Maddison.”“Sophie, I wouldn’t.” Maddison stiffened, her hand coming up to my back, ignoring the reporters still littered around the arena. “You know I would never force you to do anything you don’t want to.”My fingers trembled, breath shaking as I hugged her closer. I was ruining my life by being like this. By choosing this fucked up path. But… why then did it feel like I was completely destroying myself every time I tried to break free from Ace?A tear ran down, drenching Maddie’s shoulder. I wished I never took that job, wished I never saw him that day playing hockey with every godlike feature a m
CHAPTER 9”Ace!” I squeaked, eyes blurring with tears as he pulled me harshly through the shocked, murmuring crowd. My injured ankles protested. “It hurts! My ankle hurts, Ace, slow down.”Flames spread through my veins when Ace came to an abrupt halt. His harsh fingers that wrapped around my wrist loosened. And when he turned to me, my stomach clenched, and I wished I hadn’t spoken. His brows were furrowed, eyes a burning flame of yellow, almost like he was seconds away from transforming. From quenching the rumors that Ace Beckham had never released his wolf in fifteen years, and never planned to do so.Throat drying, I took a shaky step back, stammering. “W-where are you taking me—ACE!”I screamed as he wrapped an arm around my waist and lifted me, throwing me over his shoulders like I weighed nothing.“He is carrying her,” viewers murmured, my eyes wide as Ace stomped towards the black door hidden by a curtain at the far end of the viewer’s section. “Ace is touching her, omg! She
CHAPTER 8 SOPHIE “You have got to be fucking kidding me!” Maddie squeaked as she got into the car that packed before her work place. “Is this really happening? We have vip to stay at the front row too?” I rolled my eyes, pulling my purple jacket closer to cover the number of the jersey I wore. “This is all your fault.” I glared at her. “I really do not want to do this.” “Girl please,” she shushed me away, closing the door closed. “You have been hung up on Ace Beckham for what? Centuries? And I’m all for crushes, but he hasn’t even noticed you once.” My skin prickled, my fingers digging into my leather jacket as the driver Jaxon sent began driving. Something stupid told me that Maddie was wrong. That maybe Ace actually had noticed me. But I knew it was just the stupid crush-filled girl in me speaking.I was so done with this bullshit after tonight. “Don’t forget the reason you’re dating his brother, it is to get over him. So make sure every thought you have of him is negat
