Dancing On Ice: One-Night Stand With The Hockey Captain Chapter 66. A Message for Marcus
Anne-Marie’s P.O.VFlying first class is an experience I’ll forever cherish and be grateful for, especially because I got to do it with my baby. She’s asleep against my chest, fussing quietly every time I try to get comfortable as Marcus’s assistant drives us home from the airport. Marcus McCarthy… The COO of Litho Core Semiconductors & Technologies.I finally looked him up last night after returning to the hotel and wished I hadn’t, even though I’m glad I did—it’s why I’m yet to respond to his dinner invitation. It’s why I’m quickly coming out of the bubble I’ve been in the last few days I spent in New Jersey, getting pampered and catered to without having to lift a finger or worry about making ends meet. It’s the reason my head is spinning, and if it weren’t for the company in this car, I’d be slamming it against the window and calling myself an idiot. So foolish of me to think I could be anything to him. So foolish of me to think I could rely on him and perhaps get comfortable wi
Dancing On Ice: One-Night Stand With The Hockey Captain Chapter 65. Fly, Anne-Marie
Anne-Marie’s P.O.VIt’s Wednesday—our fourth day in New Jersey. Monday was too much to handle. I was merely holding on for my baby. She was the only reason I made it back to my suite in one piece, having spent several hours sprawled in front of my sister and mom’s gravestones, weeping until depletion. I got back to our suite, cared for my baby, and cried into the night. Marcus called, and I couldn’t even pick up. Dreading another episode of panic and torture, I stayed in yesterday. But I’m trying again today.“Mommy?” Maryanne calls for the hundredth time, looking up at me and holding out her white rose stalks, one in each hand. “Mommy…” She murmurs, uncertainty in her voice and big eyes.I give her a reassuring nod and nudge her forward, quickly wiping the tear from my eye before dropping into a squat behind her. “This is for grandma,” I repeat, sniffle, and take her right hand, guiding it forward. “Say, hi, Grandma,”“I ca–ma,” she manages, takes a tiny step forward in her boots, a

Anne-Marie’s P.O.VPanic washes over me. My eyes are locked with the middle-aged man behind the wheel. His mouth opens as if he’s about to speak, but he simply stares at me, confusion and surprise brimming in his eyes.So, I start to repeat myself, “I don’t want to stay here–”My door is pulled open suddenly. I gasp, snapping my head right to see it’s only hotel staff. I can tell from his uniform and that of the other person behind him. They’re both smiling at me, uttering polite and friendly greetings. My hands are shaking, my heart racing unguardedly, but even in the chaos, my eyes travel to those two—all chummy and close—leaving the hotel, catching a glance at them as they enter a Sports car. Only when the car speeds off do I start breathing again.My trembling hands palm my face.“Ms. Potter, are you okay?”I lift my eyes to the man behind the wheel, concern etched in his gaze. “I’ll contact Mr. McCarthy if you have a problem with staying here. We can always make another arrangem
Dancing On Ice: One-Night Stand With The Hockey Captain Chapter 63. Your Hotel
Anne-Marie’s P.O.VI’m going home. New Jersey is home, even if I have nowhere to call mine there. It’s Sunday noon, two days after my emotional meltdown with Marcus. I spent Saturday working at Jeffrey’s and got an advance pay to afford at least a two-way train ticket and a place to stay for one night for my baby and me. Jeffrey was kind enough to accommodate my request after I told him I needed to visit a loved one who had passed away. He thankfully didn’t probe much. I also used my ‘Doctor’s note’. So, I’m taking time off work and school. But Marcus called in the evening to check on me, and somehow I told him I was making the trip. He was silent for a while. I didn’t need a seer to know that I’d upset him by not telling him I’d made a decision.When he finally spoke again, he said, “You were going to leave without telling me, right?”I couldn’t deny it.He hung up with a deep sigh, leaving me worried and panicking, only to call back an hour later to tell me someone would come pick
Dancing On Ice: One-Night Stand With The Hockey Captain Chapter 62. A Part of Me
Marcus’s P.O.VMy head tilts back against the headrest, my eyes closed as my assistant drives in silence. Exhaustion grinds my body. I recline my seat, stretch my legs out to take up all the legroom, and fold my arms, sighing deeply. Anne-Marie… Her gorgeous face lingers in my mind. It got puffed up after she cried so much, yet she was still every bit beautiful. I keep coming back here. Even after telling myself I’d stay away. Once I realized that she’d blocked me, probably because I kissed her, I thought it was for the best. But my assistant returned home from our trip to Germany a few days ago and found out she’d collected my corporate ID badge from the hospital and had been trying to reach me on the other phone I leave at home whenever I go on work trips. Coming back here was inevitable.I’ve never had a woman block me, but she did without a second thought.I’ve never been involved with a woman I knew nothing about, unless I had zero interest in her. Running a background check is
Dancing On Ice: One-Night Stand With The Hockey Captain Chapter 61. A Reason To Come Back
Anne-Marie’s P.O.VMy mind wars with his words, but my heart wants to believe that he’s not lying. He doesn’t look like he is. Holding my gaze with every bit of sincerity and warmth, he slowly reaches for my right hand. “Okay?” He nods, blinking once, as if wanting me to see into his head. Somehow, I do. He doesn’t seem to be lying. He doesn’t seem like any of those awful guys or Mr. Dawson. He has never seemed like them.My gaze flickers; I lower it and give him a slow nod.He huffs softly and pulls me close, the bags for Maryanne dangling from his grip and bumping against both our legs. When I lift my eyes, his face is right in mine. An amused smile curves his mouth. “You make me so curious about you…” His voice is hoarse, his eyes roaming my face.I’m not breathing.“Will you help with the other bags, so you and I can get some rest for tonight? It’s been a long, emotional night for the two of us. Hasn’t it?”I press my lips together, nod slightly, and slip my hand out of his. Then
