All Chapters of Melting The Ice Captain : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

OLIVE BECKETT I walked out of the bathroom, hands clutching my towel. Easton stood up, ready to walk in.“I'm sorry I spent so much time in there.”“It's fine. Oh, you dropped this.”He held my underwear up, my pink lace panties near his face. Instantly, embarrassment flooded through me, rushing to my face in a red hue.I ran to him, snatched it out of his hand, and stuffed it into my towel.“I… I'm sorry. I…”He chuckled. “It's okay, Olly. I've seen a lot of underwear to be embarrassed about.”Suddenly, the thought of how many lace panties he had seen flooded my head. Did he like them? Did he sniff them? Is he into that? Jeez, Olive. What has gotten into you?I didn't say anything else, just watched him walk into the bathroom, his back muscles flexing as he went. I darted my tongue out, wetting my dry lips.How am I supposed to sleep in the same room with him?After dressing, I headed downstairs for a glass of wine. The motel had a small bar, and we hadn't ordered room service yet.

EASTON CARTEREthan? What the fuck does he have to do with hockey?“Look, I know this doesn't look too good. But Ethan has promised to give a reasonable amount, investing in your skills. I don't see any reason why we should overthink this.”“For breaking up with my fiancée, there is every reason to overthink this.”He sighed, brushing a hand over his dark face. “Maybe you can talk things through with him. The NHL just started accepting private partners, and this is really good. Maybe he could work on the conditions?”I smiled, faking every bit of it.This was his plan all along. That's why he came to Jersey, and to my house. He crossed my territory only to separate me from Olive.Fuck him.I stayed throughout the game, as focused as ever. Immediately after the game, I drove straight to the company. His assistant tried to inform me he was in a business meeting, but I didn't bother. I walked straight into the meeting room, everyone's head turning to meet me.Ethan stood up, arranged his

EASTON CARTER I need to keep pinching myself whenever I'm near her. Because how the fuck do I end up kissing her—almost kissing her?There's an aura Olive has. It's sexy.It's different from anything I've ever seen, and she doesn't know that. She doesn't know she attracts me and makes me lose all focus.Breathe, Easton. I've been celibate for a while, I didn't believe that could happen, but here I am. I walked out of the hospital like nothing happened, straight to my car.I'm not even going to think about what happened with Ethan this morning. A game was coming up soon—not here in the city, as it wasn't a home game.The team has been preparing to win against the Red Deers for a while now. I spent the whole day working out and getting my mind off things. I worked at the home gym, with music blasting in my ears.After four hours of workout, I walked downstairs for a breather and another bottle of water when the doorbell rang. I walked right up to the door, checked the peephole, and ope

OLIVE BECKETT “What the fuck are you doing in my tent?!” he shouted, getting up and pulling up his trousers to zip them.“I-I…” I stuttered, my eyes locked straight on his dick.What am I even doing? I'm not a little kid, so why am I acting like one? I stepped closer.“Olly, leave.”“I heard my name. You said it…when you were touching yourself.”“And you listened? Fuck.”“Well, duh?”What am I supposed to do? Sit back and watch?Although that is still an option.I moved closer, placed one hand on his loose belt and the other on his lips. Jeez, I feel like a god right now. The confidence, mentally making a note.“Shhh. Don't say a word. I stood right outside your tent, and I heard you call my name while you stroked your cock.”He swallowed.“So don't lie to me that you didn't do that. Don't deny that I just heard my name on your lips.”We stood there, each breathing in the other. The tent was warm, the cold breeze slipping inside. Everywhere was quiet; everyone was inside, I supposed.“

OLIVE BECKETT I stared at the paper in my hand. This wasn't just a normal date. This was a contract date. Something that he would gain from.“Is this why you brought me here? Is this why you took me out on a date?”“I… well, yes. I thought we would both benefit from this.”Benefit from being his sex partner? No way.I held the paper tight, praying to myself that I wouldn't burst into tears. Fuck you, Easton. Fuck you and the delusional thoughts you put in my head.I cleared my throat and looked back at him. He just stood there, waiting for me to think about this. I won't. I'm not interested.He doesn't care about me. He only cares about what I can give him.“Why are you quiet? Is this not what you want?”“I didn't think… I didn't.”I took deep breaths, the tears ready to drop, but I swallowed hard and buckled up.“You didn't think so?”“I didn't think you would do this. I didn't expect you to serve me a friends-with-benefits contract.”“Oh. If you want, I can give you a few days to th
