All Chapters of EXCLUSIVE NIGHT WITH MY HOCKEY MAN: Chapter 1 - Chapter 6

(Travis’s POV)I shouldn’t have brought her here.The moment I saw those wide, doe-like eyes staring up at me—half defiant, half curious—I knew Juan’s warnings were justified.Adeline wasn’t the harmless little sister I’d imagined. She was a firecracker dressed in purple, and the longer I stayed near her, the more dangerous it became… for both of us.And yet… here she was. In my villa. In my upstairs bedroom. Sitting on the edge of the bed, looking like sin wrapped in innocence.“This is a bad idea,” I muttered, running a hand through my hair as I stood by the door.I should’ve taken her straight back to Juan, but Adeline had practically dragged me up here herself, eyes sparkling from the drinks she’d had… drinks I should’ve stopped her from finishing.Her cheeks were flushed, lips parted. Her blazer was already abandoned on the floor, leaving her in that ridiculous excuse of a dress.“Bad idea?” She tilted her head, her voice soft but mischievous. “Then why aren’t you leaving?”Good

(Travis’s POV)The morning air still clung to my skin, cool and sharp, as I pushed open the door to my villa after a quick run around the neighborhood. I wasn’t usually a morning person—especially after a night of heavy drinking—but something about this morning had me restless.Or maybe… someone.My pace quickened as I headed upstairs.

She was gone.A slow smirk tugged at my lips.“She ran away,” I murmured, amused. “Cute.”I leaned against the doorframe for a moment, picturing the way she must’ve crept down the stairs in that too-short

(Adeline’s POV)For a moment, I stood frozen in front of him, my tongue heavy, my chest tightening as if every breath I took weighed twice as much.Travis should not have been here. Not in front of my campus, not in front of my friends, and certainly not looking at me with that sly, knowing grin that turned my insides upside down.“What are you doing here?” I managed, my voice sharper than I intended.He tilted his head slightly, as if I had just asked the most ridiculous question in the world.“I told you, didn’t I? Collecting what’s mine.”Heat rushed to my cheeks, and I quickly glanced over my shoulder. Jasmine’s mouth was hanging open, her eyes darting between us like she was watching a forbidden scene in a movie.Madeline wasn’t far behind her, pretending to scroll on her phone but clearly eavesdropping. Great. Just what I needed.I clenched my fists by my side. “You shouldn’t be here.”“And yet,” Travis said smoothly, “here I am.”His confidence was infuriating.The way he carri
