Skating Into Sin: Fake Dating My Hockey Bully Chapter 31
Asher Finally, it's the Tournament day.The hotel buzzed with the kind of restless energy that only showed up before a game that actually mattered. Players moved through the lobby with headphones on, duffel bags slung over shoulders, each locked inside their own pre-game ritual.Mine usually involved coffee. Today it involved trying very hard not to look for one particular person.It wasn’t working.We loaded onto the team bus just after eight. The guys were louder than usual, throwing predictions around like confetti.“If Jax misses another open net,” Ethan announced from somewhere behind me, “I’m requesting a new assistant captain. Effective immediately.”Jax looked personally offended. “I miss one goal—”“You missed three.”“They were calculated.”“They were embarrassing.”Laughter ripped through the bus. I barely heard any of it.My eyes drifted down the aisle.Ivy sat three rows ahead by the window. Earbuds in. Phone in her hand. Not editing. Not scrolling. Just… sm

AsherA day off.Coach Harlan had called it a recovery day. Jax called it a “professional eating competition.” I called it a waste of perfectly good ice time.“You’ve been staring at that menu for five minutes,” Ethan said from across the table, looking far too entertained.“I know what I want.”“Clearly not.”Jax leaned over my shoulder like he was about to give a TED Talk on my life choices. “Just order the burger, Cap. It’s tradition. Sacred. Don’t mess with the gods.”“I don’t want a burger.”He recoiled like I’d slapped him. “You always want a burger.”“Not today.”Jax narrowed his eyes dramatically. “…Who are you and what have you done with Asher Hayes? Return our captain. This one’s defective.”A few of the guys laughed. I rolled my eyes so hard I nearly saw last season.“I’m thinking.”“No,” Jax corrected, pointing his butter knife at me. “You’re brooding. There’s a difference. Brooding is when you stare into the middle distance like you’re writing sad poetry abou

IvyThe text came just after nine.I was still half-curled on the bed, laptop open but ignored, scrolling through the same practice photos for the third time when my phone lit up with an unknown number.A small smile tugged at my lips. I already had a feeling who it was.“Hello?”“Good day.” Marcus’s voice came through, warm but careful. “I hope I’m not interrupting anything.”“Not at all.” I closed my laptop and leaned back against the pillows. “I was just editing photos.”“Still working even this late?”“It’s hard to break the habit.”He gave a quiet laugh. “I believe that.”A short silence settled between us. Not uncomfortable, but weighted.“So,” I said, tucking one leg beneath me, “you finally got my number.”“I did.”“I’m guessing Lena gave in?”“Eventually. Since I already got permission from you.”I smiled. Marcus chuckled, but the sound faded quickly. He cleared his throat.“Listen… I know this is a little strange. We’ve only met once. That night. And I don’

IvyThe suitcase wheels whispered against the carpet like they were trying not to wake the tension still humming in my chest. Every step down the hallway felt heavier than the last, the handle cool and slick under my palm. I kept my eyes forward, refusing to look back at the door I’d just closed.Take care.Asher’s voice had been rough, low, the kind of quiet that lodged itself under your ribs and refused to leave. I hated how much I wanted to turn around. How much I wanted to say something, anything that wasn’t polite and hollow.Instead, I kept walking until I arrived at the door.I stood there for a moment, suitcase handle still warm in my palm, the new room keycard slick between my fingers. This was supposed to be a relief. Instead, the silence pressed in like a weighted blanket I hadn’t asked for.This was my official room, the one I was assigned on day one. The one I’d spent the first few nights secretly hoping would be fixed so I could escape the forced proximity with Ash

Jennie approached our table before I could lay into them any further. She looked a little nervous but determined, eyes flicking straight to my shoulder. “I asked them to bring you,” she admitted softly, cutting off my protest. “I figured if I asked you myself after everything today, you’d decline. And I… I just wanted to make sure you were really okay. You scared me earlier.”The guys suddenly found the menu very interesting, giving us a sliver of fake privacy. I exhaled through my nose, tension and exhaustion warring inside me.“Jennie…”“Just sit,” she said gently, sliding into the booth and patting the spot beside her. “Eat something. Let me feel useful for five minutes.”Against my better judgment, I sat. The team jumped back into loud conversation — rehashing Coach Miller’s brutal drills, the suspicious play-calling, how he seemed to be pushing contact on purpose while repeating their key offensive setups. Plenty of gratitude for Coach Harlan’s heads-up so they hadn’t shown t

AsherBy the time we left the arena, the sun was already sinking beneath the horizon, bleeding orange and purple across the sky like a fresh bruise. My shoulder throbbed in perfect sync with it.The bus was loud the second we piled in, louder than usual after a brutal practice. Jax launched into yet another dramatic retelling before we even pulled out of the lot.“I’m telling you, that last play should’ve been Goal of the Year,” he declared, arms flailing. “I got robbed.”“Can't believe Asher tripped over his own damn skate,” Ethan deadpanned from the seat beside me.“I was fouled.”“You weren’t even near the puck.”“You wouldn't understand.”Laughter ripped through the cab. Someone launched a rolled-up towel at Jax’s head. He caught it one-handed. “Assault? I’m pressing charges.”Normally I would’ve jumped in with something cutting. Tonight I just leaned back, ice pack pressed to my shoulder, and forced a half-smile whenever the guys looked my way.“Cap.” Ethan nudged me. “

The silence that followed Asher’s words was worse than laughter.I stood frozen at the entrance of the hockey club while twenty pairs of eyes bounced between us. Nobody spoke. Nobody moved. Everyone seemed to be waiting for an explanation.For a moment, I foolishly hoped he had changed. Two years h

Chapter 5: The HeroThe sick bay smelled like antiseptic and stale coffee. Asher carried me straight through the doors like some tragic hero from a romance movie, my wet clothes dripping all over the floor. The nurse on duty jumped up from her desk, eyes wide.“What happened?” she asked, rushing ov

I couldn’t sleep.I tossed and turned on my narrow dorm bed, the sheets twisting around my legs like restraints. Every time I closed my eyes, Asher’s face appeared — that split-second hesitation in the VIP room, followed by the cruel smirk as he shoved me out. Would he keep my secret? Or was he alr
