Memphis’s P.O.V

My eyes widen as I turn to him. “I’m not turning red–”

“Just one more table…” Jeffrey’s voice reaches us. And my words dissolve.

My eyes flick over Avan’s head, landing on Jeffrey a distance behind the counter, by the door to the storage room, Anne-Marie standing right in front of him. She hurriedly takes off the navy apron that’s been tied around her waist the entire time.

Avan turns around. Every member of the team does the same, watching as she speaks to him quietly. I can’

  • Dancing On Ice: One-Night Stand With The Hockey Captain   Chapter 79. Wolves Will Always Be Wolves

    Anne-Marie’s P.O.VLeaning over, I slot the phone box below the coffee table, rise, then head out of his beautiful home without looking back. Goodbye, Marcus. Thank you so much for everything.I’ve decided to wait outside. A stone’s throw from the gate, I sit on a fountain’s ledge, admiring the scenery of luxury blended with nature as I try not to worry about being alone in a car with Blue eyes. What’s the worst that can happen? Another panic attack? Freak out and barf in his car? I don’t know. The worst seems to have happened already—meeting him again, speaking to him, running into him literally, and being in the same space as him and his brother; I think I can survive a ride. Notwithstanding, I take out my phone and still try to get an Uber, even if it’ll cost me four or five bus fares. It’s futile. No cars available. Great! I’m stuck with him.Apprehensive, my boot stamps ceaselessly against the ground. I fidget with my broken phone, staring from my wallpaper to my left, where I

  • Dancing On Ice: One-Night Stand With The Hockey Captain   Chapter 78. It’s Only a Mirage

    Anne-Marie’s P.O.V“What did you say to make her leave?” Marcus’ stern voice reaches my ears from a close distance as I quietly slip back into his home through the ajar door, a sickening twist in my stomach.“Nothing! How many times do I have to repeat it before you believe me?” his brother answers with agitation in his tone. “What’s come over you? This is unlike you.”“I like her. Shouldn’t that be enough for you not to question my choices?”“Question? What are you talking about?”“I know Clinton must have spoken to you about her. What else did he tell you?” Marcus is unrelenting. “That she’s not a good fit for me? I’ll be the one who decides that. Don’t interfere. I don’t want to get upset with you.”“What are you even— Your assistant hasn’t said anything to me, except that you needed company today.” Memphis huffs. “I already made plans to stop by to pick up my car and hang out. You know what? I shouldn’t have come here today…”My steps stutter in the foyer, interrupting them. They

  • Dancing On Ice: One-Night Stand With The Hockey Captain   Chapter 77. The Captain of Northbridge’s Hockey Demons

    Anne-Marie’s P.O.VI can tell he’s just as shocked as I am to see me here. But he makes the first move—slow and questioning—toward me, into the living room, blinking away his shock. I lower my finger from my lips and instinctively shut my jacket. His gaze follows my every move. My heart races out of control, threatening to break out of my chest as I hold his icy stare, my mind replaying the last time we saw each other at Jeffrey’s on Friday. That embarrassing moment. Unguardedly, the other memory from two years ago flashes in my head for a quick second, paralyzing me.“You are… here, too.” He says the words as if my presence exhausts him, working his jaw with a sigh. I swallow hard, clench my fists around my flannel jacket, unable to tear my gaze from his, even though I wish the ground would open up and consume me, or I could go back in time and not come here with Clinton.Wasn’t he supposed to be unavailable and unreachable?The distance between us is decent. But enclosed alone in t

  • Dancing On Ice: One-Night Stand With The Hockey Captain   Chapter 76. The Party

    Anne-Marie’s P.O.V“I’m a mom.” The words spill out of me before I can process them, my eyes falling to the ground for a minute. For some reason, my mind wanders to the fact that he actually saw my text that I had some time to spare on Sunday evening, but didn’t respond. I know I’m overthinking; I know he’s been sick, but… I press my lips together, lift my gaze to his again, and add: “If I could take more time off, I think I would, so I’d spend more time with her. I’m sorry an hour and thirty minutes was not enough for you.”“I didn’t–” He blinks, lowering the compress from his head. “What are you saying?”I just stare at him as Clinton’s discourteous words come back to taunt me.“What’s this about?”I shake my head, step back, and say, “Just get some rest. I’ll be outside,” I turn, strolling off.“Anne-Marie?”My feet halt a few steps from the door; I shut my eyes for a second, but I don’t look over my shoulder.“How was New Jersey?” “It was fine.”“Look at me. Come on. I’m a sick a

  • Dancing On Ice: One-Night Stand With The Hockey Captain   Chapter 75. Getting Him In Bed

    Anne-Marie’s P.O.VThere’s a doorway on the other side of the room that probably leads to a passage. My heart drums, syncing with his approaching footsteps as I count down in my head for him to reach me. I take a deep breath.“Clinton, is that you?” “No, it’s…”Marcus appears and stops. My eyes stretch as I freeze at the foyer’s threshold, my words withering on my tongue. Shock lights his brown eyes. He’s half-naked, wearing only loose black pants that cover his entire feet and start below his waist. He leans against an IV drip pole and holds a cool compress to his forehead.With a gasp, I tear my gaze from his body, swiftly turning my back to him and shutting my eyes. The heat of embarrassment creeps up my neck. I feel his stare behind me, poking my skin. A brief silence falls upon us, sending my heart racing and the heat to my face.“I need Lucky to oversee the procurement of our raw wafers and lithography equipment. I’ll manage the risk on my own end…” He punctures the silence.I

  • Dancing On Ice: One-Night Stand With The Hockey Captain   Chapter 74. Strings Attached

    Anne-Marie’s P.O.VMarcus has been sick since Friday, and I’m just finding out. Understandable, since we’re not ‘anything.’ But I thought… I thought… He could have texted. Maybe. We literally spoke on Friday. He could have told me. Or was he so sick or didn’t want to bother me? I don’t know. Clinton said he had a headache the whole of Friday. It got worse in the evening—intense migraines, a fever, stomach pain—and he’s been stuck in bed ever since.“His doctor already attended to him; there’s been some signs of improvement, but I need someone to keep him away from his laptop, so he gets enough rest as prescribed by his doctor . He’s addicted to working, and that’s what got him sick in the first place,” Clinton explained, pleading desperately that I come to his rescue, since he unfortunately can’t be there for his boss. His mother has an important surgery scheduled for a couple of hours this evening. His siblings are out of town; his father isn’t strong enough to be left alone at the
