**Mila**

I woke up in Jax’s bed the next morning with his heavy arm across my waist. His long hair was spread across the pillow, face relaxed in sleep. I slipped out quiet, heart still warm from last night but nervous about that box waiting at home. The old merch felt like a secret I wasn’t ready for him to see yet. Too embarrassing. Too much like admitting I’d crushed on him hard for years.

I got dressed fast and kissed his forehead before leaving. “Work calls,” I whispered. He mumbled somethi

  • The Hockey Playboy's Plus Size Obsession    Chapter 38: Real Good

    **Jax**The next morning Coach called me into his office before practice even started. He looked pissed, arms crossed over his chest. “Kingston, you bailed early yesterday. What the hell was that?”I stood there, jaw tight. “Personal thing. Won’t happen again.”“Personal thing? You’re our starter. We got games coming. Can’t have you disappearing on us.” He leaned forward. “Mila’s supposed to be keeping your ass in line. She know about this?”Before I could answer, the door opened and Mila stepped in, breathing a little fast like she’d rushed over. “Coach, it was my fault. I asked Jax to check on something for a sponsor follow-up. Should’ve cleared it first.”Coach raised an eyebrow, looking between us. I jumped in quick. “Nah, she’s covering for me. It was on me. Had to handle some family stuff. Won’t happen again, Coach.”He stared at me hard for a long second, then waved his hand. “Fine. Don’t let it become a habit. Both of you. Get on the ice.”Mila shot me a look as we walked out,

    **Mila**I woke up in Jax’s bed the next morning with his heavy arm across my waist. His long hair was spread across the pillow, face relaxed in sleep. I slipped out quiet, heart still warm from last night but nervous about that box waiting at home. The old merch felt like a secret I wasn’t ready for him to see yet. Too embarrassing. Too much like admitting I’d crushed on him hard for years.I got dressed fast and kissed his forehead before leaving. “Work calls,” I whispered. He mumbled something and pulled me back for a sleepy kiss, but I slipped away smiling.At the agency, I shoved the box even deeper in my closet when I got home quick at lunch. Buried it behind shoes and old blankets. Out of sight. Then I headed back to work, yellow heels clicking like normal.Spencer was at it again by afternoon, leaning over my desk. “Kingston miss any more meetings yet? Or you got him on a leash now?”I ignored the jab and slid him another fixed document. “Here. Cleaned up that endorsement deal

    **Mila**The knock on my apartment door came right as I was pulling cookies out of the oven. I wiped my hands on a dish towel and opened it to find my mom standing there with a big cardboard box balanced on her hip. Tanya Santiago looked every bit her wild self—bright red lipstick, wild curly hair like mine, and a colorful scarf wrapped around her neck even though it wasn’t that cold.“Mija! Surprise delivery,” she said, pushing past me into the living room. “Found this while cleaning out the storage unit. Figured you might want it now that you’re working with the team and all.”She dropped the box on the coffee table with a thud. I already knew what was inside before I even opened it. My stomach did a nervous flip.“Mom, you didn’t have to bring this today,” I said, trying to sound casual.Tanya waved her hand. “Nonsense. You’ve been all glowy lately. Thought these might make you smile.”I lifted the flaps. Old posters, faded jerseys, a couple of signed pucks, and a worn notebook ful

    **Jax**I watched Mila from across the practice rink the next day, her bright yellow heels clicking on the concrete as she talked to one of the equipment guys. She had that clipboard in her hand, ponytail swinging, looking all professional and sunshine at the same time. After what she told me about Spencer yesterday, I expected her to still be pissed. But there she was, smiling like nothing happened.Later in the locker room, Miller was running his mouth. "Heard you helped that asshole Spencer with his contract shit. Why bother? Dude's a prick."Mila shrugged, stacking some papers. "His numbers were off. Fixed it quick. No big deal."I stayed quiet but something in my chest warmed up. Most people would've told Spencer to screw off after all the crap he gave her. Not Mila. She saw the mess and cleaned it up anyway. Smart. Kind without being weak. It hit different.After practice, I caught her in the hallway near the equipment room. "Hey. Got a minute?"She glanced around quick, then no

    **Mila**Back in the Boston office, the real world hit me hard. No more warm Tampa nights or rooftop secrets. Just fluorescent lights, ringing phones, and the stack of contracts on my desk. I sat in my chair, still wearing my bright yellow heels for a little boost, typing up notes from the road trip. Jax’s jacket hung in my closet at home. I hadn’t washed it yet. Couldn’t bring myself to lose his smell.Spencer leaned over my cubicle wall, that smug look on his face like always. Puffer vest zipped up tight, coffee in hand. “Well, well. Look who survived babysitting the Glacier. How’d that go? Did he freeze you out the whole time or what?”I kept typing, not even looking up at first. “It was fine. Team played good. He showed up where he needed to.”Spencer laughed, loud enough for a couple people to glance over. “Come on, Santiago. We all know Kingston’s a headache. Late to stuff, bad attitude. Probably made your life hell. You probably spent the whole trip chasing him with those silly

  • The Hockey Playboy's Plus Size Obsession    Chapter 33: Fucking All Day

    **MILA'S POV**The morning after, I woke up in Jax's big bed with his arm heavy across my waist. Sunlight snuck through the curtains, lighting up all those tattoos on his chest. My body still felt warm and sore in the best way from last night. We'd barely made it through the door before he had me up against the wall, then carried me to bed and took his time with me. Slow kisses turning into something hotter, deeper. The way he looked at me like I was everything... it made my heart do stupid flips.I tried to slip out quietly, but Jax pulled me back, his voice all rough from sleep. "Where you going, sunshine?""Work," I whispered, smiling. "Some of us have bosses who actually check timesheets."He kissed my neck, hand sliding down my curves. "Stay. I'll make it worth it."God, I wanted to. But I kissed him quick and got up, pulling on my clothes. His eyes followed me the whole time, dark and hungry. "Tonight?" he asked."Tonight," I promised, dimples showing before I headed out.By the
