IVY POV

Zoe nudged me, her grin teasing but firm. “The game is over. Go talk to him. You’re going to regret it if you don’t.”

I shook my head, my stomach twisting. “I… I can’t go in there. The locker room…too many guys. I just…” My voice trailed off.

Zoe rolled her eyes, standing up. “Then wait for him outside. Simple. Go. You’ve got this.”

So, I did.

I walked to the park lot behind the rink and leaned against Zoes car, trying to calm my racing hea

  • Where the ice melts    The edge of ending

    IVY POVI stood there a moment longer after he left.The room still felt like him. Like expensive cologne and unfinished conversations.I exhaled slowly and straightened the papers on my desk that didn’t need straightening.Matured. Grown. I Don’t Give Fuck.That’s the version of me he gets now.I stepped out into the hallway. Amanda glanced up immediately.“You okay?” she asked quietly.“I’m fine,” I said smoothly. “Please make sure Mr. Hale schedules a meeting next time.”Her eyebrows lifted slightly. “Of course.”Next time.The fact that I said that annoyed me.I walked toward Harrington’s office, heels steady against marble floors. The firm was alive now…. partners moving fast, associates whispering strategy, ambition humming in the air.This is my world.Not him.Harrington didn’t look up when I entered. “I heard Hale stopped by.”Of co

  • Where the ice melts    Where it all converges

    IVY POVThe night lasted longer than I thought it would.We talked until the wine was almost gone and the candles burned down to small pools of wax. At some point, Zoe kicked off her heels and followed me into my room “just for five minutes.”She was asleep in two.I lay beside her, staring at the ceiling. The city hummed outside the penthouse windows... distant traffic, a faint siren, life moving on like it always does.My phone was face down on the nightstand.I hadn’t checked it again.I wouldn’t.I closed my eyes and told myself I didn’t care.Eventually, sleep pulled me under.Morning came too fast.My alarm vibrated at six. I quickly grabbed it before it could wake Zoe. She was sprawled across my bed, hair everywhere, one arm thrown over my pillow like she owned it.I smiled.Some things never change.I slipped out of bed quietly and went into the

  • Where the ice melts    The truth draws closer

    IVY POVThe taxi crawled through Manhattan like it was dragging its own exhaustion behind it. Rain glossed the streets, turning headlights into smeared streaks of gold and red. I watched it all through the window, my reflection faint against the glass .. composed, polished, controlled.Not the girl I used to be.But every time the lights flickered, I saw him in my head instead.Roman.Leaning against that black car like he owned the world. That arrogant half-smile. Those eyes that had followed me into my dreams for six long years.I tightened my grip on the edge of the seat.Focus, Ivy.You’re not that fragile girl anymore. You’re a lawyer—a senior associate in one of the most ruthless firms in New York. You argue with billionaires for breakfast. You don’t spiral because of one man and a memory.My phone buzzed again.And again.I didn’t need to look to know who it was.But I

  • Where the ice melts    Eyes that never left

    IVY POV The moment the conference room door shut behind me, I let out the breath I didn’t realize I’d been holding. My hands were shaking. Unbelievable. Of all the clients in New York… it had to be him. I walked down the glass hallway slowly, heels clicking against the floor, forcing my face to stay neutral in case anyone looked up. I would not be the dramatic new girl who couldn’t handle a client. I would not let Hale unravel me in my first week here. I reached my office, closed the door softly, and leaned against it. Six years. Six years since he walked away, as if what we had meant nothing. Six years since I cried myself to sleep wondering what I did wrong. Six years since I promised myself I would never let a man hurt or make me feel that small again. And now he was sitting across from me like fate had a twisted sense of humor.

  • Where the ice melts    The calm before collapse

    IVY POVMy hand froze on the handle.No. No way.It can’t be him.But there he was… Ronan Hale. Broad shoulders, that impossible posture, those piercing eyes I hadn’t been able to erase from my memory. My chest tightened, my breath catching in a way it hadn’t in years.“Cross,” he said, voice low, familiar… like we were friendsI swallowed hard.Ivy, focus. Remember why you’re here.I reminded myself of the files, the strategy, the memo I’d just crafted. But my brain refused to cooperate. All I could see was him. The memory of the last time I’d seen him, the betrayal, the heartbreak… it all crashed back. And yet, underneath that old ache, something else stirred.A strange pull I thought I’d buried forever.I swallowed again, forcing myself to steady the folder in my hands. “H… hello, Mr…?” I stammered, my voice smaller than I wanted it to be. Pretending not to know his name as his eyes never le

  • Where the ice melts    Refusal to break

    RONAN POVMondays and Tuesdays were the worst.Every week came with endless obligations… interviews, photo ops, talk shows I’d rather sleep through. If I could, I’d hide in the locker room or stay home and sleep my way through the day and let the world spin without me I would But I couldn’t. Being the center for the New York Rangers meant I had responsibilities whether I liked them or not.This morning … I wasn't in the mood.I sat back in Dylan’s office chair, sipping my coffee, eyes half-lidded, waiting for him to finish a phone call. Dylan had been my agent for six years… annoying as hell, goofy as a cartoon character, but somehow, through all the chaos, he had my back.Yeah… no, no, I get it,” Dylan said, pacing. “But trust me, this sponsorship deal is golden. We just have to push the timing right. I’ve been telling them…this is exactly what the team wants.”I frowned, taking another sip of coffee. “And you think they’ll go f

  • Where the ice melts    Smoke and intentions

    IVY POVI froze.My fingers were clutching my phone so tightly that it hurt. The words on the screen burned into my brain, refusing to fade.“I can’t do this anymore. I’m breaking up with you.”I stared at it, heart pounding, unable to breathe properly. My chest felt like it had been ripped open.“

  • Where the ice melts    A line you don’t cross

    IVY POVThe past two weeks had been… unreal.The best we have ever had in years.Ronan’s results shot up fast. Algebra finally made sense to him. Spanish too. Sometimes he’d lean close and whisper the sweetest things in Spanish just to make me blush. With only two weeks left before our tutoring ses

  • Where the ice melts    The moment before it breaks

    IVY POVRonan’s words hung in the air.I love you.I froze for a second, my body still warm, my heart suddenly racing for a completely different reason. I looked at him, searching his face, wondering if he realized what he’d just said.Then I smiled.It warmed my chest in a way I didn’t expect. Dee

  • Where the ice melts    Edge of control

    IVY POVThen he pulled back slightly, his cock hard and throbbing in front of me.I froze, staring at it, my own body trembling.I wanted it so badly inside me. My pussy dripping“Sit on me,” he commanded, lifting me onto his lap. My pussy ached, hungry and dripping
