All Chapters of Dancing On Ice: One-Night Stand With The Hockey Captain: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Memphis’s P.O.VMarcus cocks a brow at me, his eyes filled with questions. But the minute I pull the door open, he straightens his face and shifts his gaze to my father seated at his desk.I know he’s gotten the memo not to mention anything that can put Princess in a tight spot, yet my heart wouldn’t stop pounding. As soon as I arrived, I’d barely found a comfortable position when my mom asked what I knew about the woman Marcus came with. Thank goodness I heard Marcus’ footsteps.My parents—my dad in particular—are chronically interested in Marcus’ romantic life, and have tried to set him up with several women of their choice. We’re gathered here in the middle of the night because every one of their attempts has failed. They didn’t think he’d show up with anyone for my party. I made a bet with him to get him to act. Maybe I shouldn’t have. I don’t know anything about her; I want to, but not like this – in an interrogation room disguised as a study – that will only give my parents’ lic

Memphis’s P.O.V~Monday~I’m back on campus after an awful weekend and a sour birthday. At least Sunday wasn’t all that bad. No training, no Coach Gale yelling, or getting another bruise to add to my batches of honor. After I arrived at the house I share with Avan and Norman, I slept in, something I haven’t had the luxury of doing in months. Then, the boys and I played video games in the evening. It was a day well spent.A new season starts next month, so we get two full weeks of rest. I plan on sleeping every single day. However, there’s still one pending battle to win—the figure skaters never setting foot in the Den. And a new development—green-eyed princess. Anne-Marie. The girl from my past, from a different state entirely, several miles away, is now involved with my brother. How does this even happen to anyone?‘I may have made things worse. I kissed her.’‘I kissed her.’Even if she’s rejected him, it only confirms that something really is going on between them. I mean, they’re

Anne-Marie’s P.O.VThe one person I’ve spent the past two years trying to bury from my memory—the one person who brings me the most heartache whenever I think of them—is my classmate. And I’ve been paired up with him for group work. This has to be a deadly prank life is playing on me, and it’s not funny at all.My head is pulsing from worry. My heart is pounding against my chest, threatening to break out. Taking deep breaths, my eyes follow him as he races out of class without sparing anyone a glance, roughly pushing his way through the throng as if he’s being chased.It’s really him. Champion… the guy I saw two nights ago – Marcus’ younger brother.“Memphis?” Someone calls after him.And his name is Memphis.I drop my eyes in a blink, quickly packing my books into my backpack, my hands trembling. I could barely concentrate on anything Miss Blake said during class. I snatch my phone from my desk, toss it into my bag, zip it up, grab my backpack, and spring to my feet.“Hi,” Caleb stops

Memphis’s P.O.V~A few hours ago~The image of her meeting my gaze in Miss Blake’s class stays etched in my head as I stare into space. “... Some witch with green eyes.” Russo’s words play on repeat in my mind. Those sharp green eyes begging to be noticed…She’s the one. She’s the Ice Queen. I’m as certain as the air I breathe. It’s chilling.I spit out a foul word and slap a palm over my face, hoping to wake up from this unbelievable nightmare. My hand pushes my hair out of my face, and I turn around instantly, exiting the Sports Science building. “Memphis? Wait up!” Avan yells.“I need a minute,” I reply without looking back.He knows not to catch up with me. “Call me.”I throw up my hand, giving him a thumbs up.With a deep sigh of conflict, my feet carry me to the Sports and Athletics building. I head straight for Mr. Snape’s office. ****It’s been more than thirty minutes of mental torture, turmoil, and grave disappointment in Mr. Snape’s office. Seated opposite him at his des

Memphis’s P.O.VParalyzed for a moment, I stare into equally shocked green eyes—so familiar and captivating yet terrifying. I hear my heart thudding inside my ears. I think I’m shaking. It’s almost like yesterday when we…No.She drops her eyes so quickly, holding a small tray containing three sealed cups of milkshakes that I’ve only just noticed. Eager to be out of her way, I step aside to my left, only for her to make the same move to her right.“Sorry,” I mutter, and frantically move to my right. She moves fast in the same direction. Damn.She switches at the same time I move, stopping right in front of me again. My head is splitting as I lose my mind.“Move the heck out of my way.” She utters harshly, remaining still, her head bowed.A nerve is struck, but I step aside at the speed of light. She breezes past me in a blur, pushing her way through the door. The door slams behind me as I catch my breath. My heart pounds against my chest in alarm; my hands tremble. I stare at the boo
