Offside Heart: Fake Boyfriends with Benefits The Boy Behind the Smiles
Jovian's POVI was still laughing when I reached the parking lot.Alaric Wynn had looked like he wanted to murder me. The expression on his face when his towel hit the floor was worth every second of the trouble I was going to get into.I could still picture him standing there, clutching the towel around his waist, his face practically glowing red.God, I loved getting under that man's skin.My phone buzzed as I unlocked my car.Dex: Did you survive the locker room?Me: Barely. Your captain is a violent man.Dex: What did you do?Me: Nothing.Dex: That's the biggest lie you've ever told. My captain won't react if you did nothing.I laughed and tossed my phone onto the passenger seat.The drive home took about fifteen minutes. Traffic wasn't too bad, and I used the time to listen to music and think about the next game. We had another practice tomorrow, followed by a meeting with Coach Brandt. Our recent improvement on the ice was encouraging, but I knew better than to get comfortable.
Offside Heart: Fake Boyfriends with Benefits Teasing the Captain
Alaric’s POVIt had been two weeks since the night Jovian Mercer kissed me in front of my parents.Two weeks.I hadn't really thought about it much. There were only a few moments when the image randomly appeared in my head, usually when I was trying to sleep or whenever someone mentioned the word boyfriend.It was nothing serious.But unfortunately for me, Jovian seemed determined to make sure I never forgot it."Careful, Captain. With the way you're staring at me, I might think you want to kiss me again."I turned toward him as we walked onto the ice for morning practice. "Stop making stupid jokes.""I was just stating the obvious.""I was staring at the score board,o you have a problem with that?""Not at all, sweetheart."I closed my eyes briefly. "Don't call me that."He laughed, adjusting his gloves. "You used to be so much nicer to me.""I've never been nice to you. And I never will.""That's true. But after that kiss, I thought things might change between us."I stopped walking
Offside Heart: Fake Boyfriends with Benefits Nothing to be Jealous of
Alaric’s POVI was dreaming.It had to be a dream because Jovian Mercer was kissing me in front of my parents.For one horrifying second, my mind went blank as his lips moved against mine like it was something perfectly normal.Then I remembered where we were.My mother was watching. My father was watching. And I was apparently dating the most insufferable man at Westbridge University.I grabbed Jovian’s arm and pushed him away.“What the hell was that?” I hissed.He looked at me innocently. “A kiss.”“I know what a kiss is!”“Good. I was worried we'd have to start from the basics.”I wanted to throw my water at him, but my mother was watching us with an expression usually reserved for romantic movies.“Oh, that was lovely!” she exclaimed.Lovely? I had nearly suffered a cardiac arrest.Jovian slipped an arm around my waist. “He gets a little shy sometimes.”I turned toward him slowly.Shy? I was going to murder him.My father cleared his throat. “Well, at least you've stopped acting
Offside Heart: Fake Boyfriends with Benefits playing the perfect couple
Alaric’s POVGiving up my captaincy was not something I had ever considered.Not when Coach Brandt had trusted me with the position two years ago. My father had reminded me a thousand times that being captain proved I was better than the other players. And I had spent most of my life working to become the kind of hockey player people respected.Yet there I was on Thursday afternoon, sitting across from Jovian Mercer in an empty corner of the library, listening to him explain why he deserved my position.“You can’t be serious,” I said.He leaned back in his chair. “I am completely serious, Captain.”“You want me to hand over the captaincy because you’re pretending to be my boyfriend for one dinner?”“Not quite. I want you to hand it over if I succeed in making your parents believe we’re a real couple.”“That makes absolutely no sense.”“Then don’t agree.”He returned his attention to his phone, looking like nothing in this world bothered him. I stared at him, wondering how someone coul
Offside Heart: Fake Boyfriends with Benefits The Audacity of Mercer
Alaric’s POVI was beginning to regret giving Jovian Mercer my phone number.Not because he’d called me in the middle of the night or flooded my screen with ridiculous messages. The bastard hadn’t done either of those things. He’d simply left me waiting for an answer, knowing full well I needed him more than he needed me.And he was enjoying every second of it.I found him in the university cafeteria the following afternoon, laughing with Dex over a plate of fries. The second he spotted me, his grin widened.“Look who it is. My favourite person.”“Don’t call me that.”“Favourite person?”“Mercer.”He laughed and nodded at the empty chair across from him. “Sit down, sweetheart.”“I’d rather stand.”“Suit yourself. Though I should warn you—this conversation might take a while.”I pulled out the chair and sat before I could change my mind.Dex glanced between us, interest lighting up his face. “Am I interrupting something?”“Yes,” I said.“No,” Jovian answered at the same time.Dex leane
Offside Heart: Fake Boyfriends with Benefits Desperate Times, Desperate Measures
Alaric’s POV Coach was definitely after my life. The moment he dropped the message in the group last night I knew it was something neither of us was going to like. Jovian Mercer was standing outside the door, leaning nonchalantly against the wall with a coffee cup in one hand and his phone in the other. He looked up when he heard my footsteps. “Morning, Captain.” “Don't start.” “Start what? I'm greeting you. Is that against team regulations now?” I ignored him and checked my watch. My goal is to avoid any form of stupid arguments he tries to bring up. The office door opened, and Coach Brandt gestured us inside. “Sit down, both of you.” I took the chair nearest to his desk. Jovian dropped into the one beside me, stretching his legs out. Coach glanced at him. “Feet on the floor, Mercer.” Jovian lowered them. “Yes, sir.” Coach picked up a folder. “The university is hosting a series of events for prospective recruits and their families over the next few weeks.
