All Chapters of A Deal With The Hockey Ice Kings : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Chelsea“Appa, I didn’t come back home for a job. I just want a break.”It was bad enough that I failed at everything that I set out to do and came back home with nothing to my name, and now my dad has made it a point to make me feel even more worthless by offering me a job.Okay, he is doing it out of love for me, but still, I told him I came for a break, and I do plan to return to New York just as soon as I can get Owen to change his mind.It’s not the first time we would break up, and it’s not even our biggest fight.“Honey, I just don’t want you holed up in your bed all the time like you have been doing since you arrived a week ago. It’s a job that will keep you on your feet, and it pays really well.”I resisted the urge to roll my eyes at my dad and walked past him.I went back to my room and closed the door loudly to make sure he was aware that I wasn’t pleased with him.I flopped on my bed and sighed deeply. I covered my eyes with one arm over my face and sighed deeply.I bare

Chelsea“How old are you?”I blurted out and felt really stupid for asking such a foolish question. Jace lifted his eyebrows. Hayes laughed, and Beck just straight up shook his head at me in disapproval.Forgive me for wanting to know their age, but as a thirty-year-old woman, I can’t be caught having silly thoughts about anyone younger than twenty-five.That’s literally my one rule when it comes to flirting and dating. Though I have only dated guys older than me, and I don’t have any plan of dating any of these guys, no matter how hot I find them.“We are not teenagers.”Hayes said between laughs.“That’s not what I asked.”I already asked the question, so there’s no point backing down until I get the answer that I wanted.“I like her already. She is feisty.”Beckham said and winked at me. The guys were such flirts, and they weren’t even trying to hide it.“You still haven’t answered my question.”I pressed on, and they all laughed.“The oldest among us is twenty-eight, and the young

Chelsea“Oh—babe, I forgot you were in here.”He said without attempting to go back to his room to wear something more appropriate.“The right thing to do will be to go inside and wear something.”I let out when he still didn’t even move from where he was. He just laughed.“Why? I am comfortable.”Devil.‘I am not! I mean, who would be comfortable with a hot man standing in front of them advertising his whole package?’Those were what I wanted to say to him, but instead, I just tinned my lips and forced my eyes away from his crotch.“So, I may not have the contract ready, but I do have the NDA.”He said and walked away, which turned out to be a bad idea too because now, he had his ass on me.It wouldn’t be so crazy if he didn’t have a perfectly rounded ass that felt tight against the brief he was wearing.Probably because his front package was pulling the whole material to the front.Get out of the gutter, Chelsea.I screamed inside, but that didn’t help me.“Come to the kitchen, darl

Chelsea“I am sorry about that.”He chuckled at my words.“There’s nothing to be sorry about. I just found it a little fascinating that people have stepparents who care about them.”There was a sadness in his voice that made me want to hug him, but I held back, mainly because I don’t think he needs a hug from a woman he has only known for a few hours and also because I don’t think I would be hugging him for pure reasons only.“I think I got lucky. My stepfather loves me like the rest of my siblings.”I said instead of hugging him.“How many siblings do you have?”I smiled.“Three.”My stepfather had a son with his first wife who passed away, and together with Mom, he had two more sons. Both of whom are still very young; one is thirteen and the other is eleven.“You are the oldest?”I shook my head.“My stepfather has a son from his previous marriage, and he is five years older than me.”“I am the youngest in my family and the only son.”Beckham revealed.“Why do they want you to take

ChelseaThankfully, Hayes walked back into the kitchen, so I didn’t need to respond to what Beckham said.“Who were you talking to for so long?”Jace asked him.“Our agent. Do you guys remember that we are all free agents after next season?”I sensed a bit of annoyance in Hayes' voice, but the other seemed to be oblivious to it.“We haven’t even started this season; why are we already talking about what will happen after next season?”Beckham asked with his mouth full. I waited for Jace to scold him for talking while eating, as he did to me, but he didn’t say anything.“Because planning helps us not rush into anything.”Hayes said in the same annoyed voice.“It’s not like we are moving to a new club. We are resigning. We already talked about it.”Jace said.“I know, but this is our chance to negotiate better.”Hayes argued.“Our contract is already flexible, Hayes.”Hayes glared at Jace, who lifted his hand in surrender.“He handles these kinds of things, and we always get in trouble
