Beneath The Ice: Falling for the captain Wasn’t sure i was acting
The box in my arms felt heavier with every step I took into Stefan’s penthouse. It wasn’t just the weight of the medical textbooks; it was the weight of the lie.I stopped in the center of the living room, my breath catching. The space was exactly like Stefan Kovacs: cold, expensive, and designed to be looked at. Floor-to-ceiling glass overlooked the city, the Aurora Wolves’ arena glowing in the distance like a blue-lit temple."Don't just stand there, Hart. You're blocking the flow."Stefan pushed past me, carrying two of my suitcases as if they were filled with feathers rather than my entire life. He was back in his element—commanding, physical, and entirely too comfortable. He dropped the bags by a sleek leather sofa that probably cost more than my entire university degree."Where’s the guest room?" I asked, my voice echoing in the minimalist space.Stefan stopped. He turned slowly, a slow, infuriatingly handsome smirk spreading across his face. He leaned against the marble kitchen
Beneath The Ice: Falling for the captain Chapter 10: Move in with me
NOAHThe "honeymoon phase" of our fake relationship was officially over, replaced by a suffocating blanket of public scrutiny.Everywhere I went in the arena, people whispered. I was no longer just Noah Vale, the Physiotherapist. I was Noah Vale, the man who tamed Stefan Kovacs.I hated it."You're doing it again," Stefan’s voice rumbled.I looked up from my tablet. We were in the private recovery lounge—a perk of his captaincy that we were using more often just to get away from the prying eyes of the locker room. Stefan was sitting on the edge of the massage table, his jersey discarded, showing the fresh bruising along his ribs from the last game."Doing what?" I asked, my voice tighter than I intended."Thinking too loud. Your eyebrows do this little twitchy thing when you're stressed." He reached out, his thumb hovering just inches from my forehead before he caught himself and dropped his hand.The air in the room shifted. That was the problem with Chapter 10—the "fake" touches wer
Beneath The Ice: Falling for the captain Back off
Stefan’s POV*****************Everyone is watching.I can feel it without even turning my head, the weight of their attention pressing into my back like heat, like expectation, like they are waiting for something to explode.Maybe they are not wrong.Because right now, Luca is standing too close, his presence sharp and deliberate, like he came here with one purpose and one purpose only—to get under my skin.And it is working.Adrian shifts beside me, his eyes moving between us carefully, like he already knows this is about to turn into something messy. “Stefan,” he mutters under his breath, warning laced in his tone, “don’t.”But I am already too far gone.Luca lets out a slow clap, the sound echoing just enough to draw more attention. “I have to say,” he drawls, a mocking smile playing on his lips, “watching you like this is… interesting.”My jaw tightens. “Say what you came to say and leave.”He tilts his head slightly, studying me like I am the one being unreasonable. “You’re tens
Beneath The Ice: Falling for the captain Chapter 8: Stefan Pov
STEFAN****************I do not know when it started getting this complicated.Somewhere between the game, the bar, and that kiss that was never part of the plan, something shifted, and now I cannot seem to get my head back in the right place.I should be focused on the ice. I should be thinking about plays, about strategy, about leading my team the way a captain is supposed to. , my mind keeps circling back to Noah, to the way his lips felt against mine, to the look in his eyes when I pulled away, equal parts shock and something I am not ready to name.He is not my type. He has never been my type. I do not go for quiet, controlled men who pretend they do not feel anything. I go for easy, uncomplicated situations that end before anything real can start.So why him?Why now?I exhale sharply, dragging a hand through my hair as I stand at the edge of the rink during practice. The cold air should clear my head, but it does not. Nothing does.It would have been easier if Luca had
Beneath The Ice: Falling for the captain Chapter 7: Noah Pov
Noah**********I knew it.”The voice cuts through the music just as the bar door swings open.Adrian strides in like he owns the place, grin wide, eyes locked on me like he has just won something important. The bar is already buzzing, warm lights casting a golden glow over polished wood and crowded tables, the kind of place that hides in plain sight but never stays quiet for long.Leo and I are seated in a booth near the back, and I can already feel the attention shifting.“You did not know it,” I shoot back, lifting my glass before taking a slow sip.Adrian ignores that completely and points straight at me. “I absolutely did. You two have been circling each other for years. It was only a matter of time.”Leo snorts beside me, clearly entertained.“No one knew,” I say flatly, even though my pulse betrays me.My eyes flick toward the entrance again.No Stefan yet.I hate that I’m noticing.Across the room, Luca is already there, sitting with a few of the guys. His posture is relaxed,
Beneath The Ice: Falling for the captain Noah
NOAH************The arena is already alive when I arrive Friday night, pulsing with energy, a sea of silver and deep blue jerseys shifting under the flashing lights. Music pounds through the speakers, vibrating through my chest as if the entire place shares one heartbeat.Leo is already seated when I make my way down, balancing a pretzel in one hand and a beer in the other.“Hey,” I say, dropping into the seat beside him. “Sorry. The line was insane.”It’s a lie. I circled the arena three times before I even got in line, trying to calm the restless tension in my chest.Leo doesn’t respond right away. His gaze drifts slowly over me, then settles—very deliberately—on my back.My shoulders stiffen.“You’re wearing a jersey,” he says finally, his tone unreadable.I take a huge bite of the pretzel just to avoid answering. It tastes like cardboard.“It’s not what it looks like,” I mutter.“Lean forward.”“Do you ever think about traveling again?” I deflect quickly. “You’ve been stuck in t
