Faking it with the Grumpy NHL Alpha Chapter 038
***CITY OF ANGELS***Flora's POVMy eyelids was glued shut like it was filled with industrial cement. I forced them open anyway, and the ceiling swam into view—gray and white, a striking contrast to the colours of my room. A brutal, rhythmic pounding started right behind my skull, like someone was using it as a hockey puck.Last night crashed back in fragments. Justin, the garden, the breakup.I groaned and stretched my arms across the mattress. My left hand swung out, expecting empty space, but landed flat against something warm, solid, and very much breathing.I froze.My eyes snapped, fully focused.Tyler was lying right next to me, his dark lashes resting against his cheekbones, jaw relaxed, chest rising and falling under the white linen. I slapped both hands over my mouth, heart slamming against my ribs like it wanted out.I looked down at myself. The burgundy corset top was gone. I was in an oversized black silk pajama shirt that smelled like him—his cologne and that stupid masc

***YOU RUINED MY MOMENT***Tyler’s POVMy grip on the edge of the leather couch tightened until the seams peeled under my fingers.I hate to admit it.But she's very good at that.Flora was grinding her ass against Justin like she was trying to win a novel prize. The burgundy top was pushing her tits up in a way that made it impossible not to stare. The bum shorts were low on her thighs with every roll of her hips, and those boots made her legs look longer than usual.She looked Fuckable and it pissed me off how much I noticed.Justin’s bare hand was all over her waist, fingers digging into her skin like he had any right to touch her. I’d seen her talking to him earlier but forced myself to look away. Now he lifted his head, eyes locking straight onto mine across the crowded room. A slow, wicked smile spread across his face. He held my stare and pulled her closer, deliberately grinding harder.Flora continued, rolling her hips with extra intent and throwing sharp glances my way ev

***DIRTY DIANA***Flora’s POVLucille moved to the armchair, standing on the edge of it as she grabbed a half-empty bottle of tequila on the table beside it.“Look around.” She continued, her eyes gleaming with excitement. “We’re all adults here, which means the usual boring rules are officially suspended for the next two hours. If you want to play, you move to my left. If you’re a total buzzkill, go to my right.”The room absolutely erupted. A massive wave of bodies immediately surged toward the left side of the room, laughing and shouting over each other. Only a few people drifted over to the right. Through the shifting crowd, I caught sight of Megan. She was practically dragging Sean by his arm toward the glass doors leading to the pool, her expression looking like she’d just swallowed acid.“So,” Tyler's voice snapped my attention back to him. “This was your grand plan all along?”I leaned back slightly, letting a slow, innocent smile touch my lips before I finally faced him. “Aw

***NO STRINGS ATTACHED***Flora's POVI spotted Lucille and Jeffrey near the bar at the corner of the parlor. Jeffrey had slipped away from the couch the second I had stepped toward Tyler earlier, before the disaster.Now, both he and Lucille were acting like the ultimate co-hosts of the night.“Hey, you two,” I said, marching up to them. “You both look good?”Lucille raised her glass to me. “Look who finally decided to join the living.”“She looks like trouble. What’s the vibe Flora?” Jeffery added.“Ummmm,” I said, leaning against the counter and trying to look casual. “I just want the rundown. What’s the official list of events for tonight?”They both started briefing me at once.“Well we have a drinking competition,” Lucille continued.“Snooker tournament in the games room,” Jeffrey added.I raised my hands, cutting them off with a sharp laugh. “Okay, okay, pause. I have something fun to add to the itinerary.”I gestured for them to lean down and told them.Lucille’s eyes went co

***OUR NEW DEAL***Flora's POVI slammed my bedroom door so hard it rattled.I marched straight toward the mattress and collapsed face-first into the mountain of plush pillows, letting out a muffled scream that was entirely swallowed by the fabric.My mind was a chaotic, violent loop of what had just happened upstairs.The audacity of that man. I rolled over onto my back, staring up at the ceiling while a bitter laugh forced its way out of my throat. I kicked my legs out, staring blankly at the empty space.“Feelings for Tyler Sinclair? Ha!” I spoke out loud to the empty room, my voice echoing off the walls. I laughed awkwardly at the absolute, terrifying absurdity of his question. “That is officially the very last thing I would ever do on this earth. Even if someone held a rusted sword straight to my throat and said ‘admit it or die.’ Arrogant, narcissistic, emotionally constipated Ice man! Who the hell does he think he is?”I grabbed a stray decorative cushion and hurled it across t

***GAME ON!***Tyler’s POVFuck.I couldn’t shake the image of her from this morning off my head.The entire gym conversation kept looping in my head like a bad highlight reel. I couldn't understand why I was suddenly attracted to her morning look. She was a complete mess—wrinkled flannels, hair all scattered. When I stepped in front of her and pulled her body flush against mine, the air had completely turned to rock.Did I actually want to kiss her? Why the hell did I stop?I could still vividly picture her in those pajamas, the thin fabric doing little to hide her full boobs inside that singlet. Her lips had looked full also and soft in the morning light, a total contrast to the sharp way she’d been staring at me in the kitchen later. The second I had met her gaze, the tension had lingered.I’ve always been against the idea of a contract dictating how I interact with someone, but I still signed the Auren Beauty deal anyway. Did I do it because I’d actually hurt her feelings duri

***REJECTION****FLORA'S POV“Oh, chill out, big guy,” Christian teased, flashing a playful grin. “It’s brilliant marketing! The public is practically begging to see more of you two.”“I don't care about the marketing,” Tyler growled, his jaw clenching. “ I need my relationship to stay private at t

***THINGS FALL APART***Flora's POV"...are you aware we're to close a million-dollar deal with you and Mr. Tyler?"The words echoed in my head, loud and violently disruptive.A million dollars.Is this a prank?My mind spun out of control, reeling so fast that the breath caught in my throat."Mrs.

***ASSISTANT CAPTAIN***SEAN'S POVThe locker room went dead fucking silent the second Coach dropped the bomb.“Sean Ferrars is your new assistant captain.”I sat frozen on the bench, a pair of dirty hockey tape scissors gripped loose in my hand, staring at Coach like he’d just started speaking in

***MILLION DOLLAR DEAL***Flora's POVA sharp knock on the door made me freeze mid-step. Tyler’s warning from earlier flared in my mind.My heart did a sudden, violent flip against my ribs.Holding the plush fabric of the towel tightly against my chest, I crept toward the door and cracked it open an
