I chuckle all the way back to my own room as I think about how feisty and fiery Madison Lane is. And a fucking dog with her. Seriously? Still, it is kind of cute and it isn’t large. Could have been worse, she could have had a Rottweiler.

The way her hips sashayed as she moved around the room grabbed my interest. I need to remind myself this woman is off limits. I can’t even stand the fact that she is a journalist and sports reporter, nor that she has to be in my face practical

ly 24/7 and that we have to fake date. God, what are my management team and coach thinking?

I throw myself down on the king-size bed, the one I never made this morning because I was too pissed that a live-in for six months was going to be turning up at my doorstep. Still, if you’re going to have someone come and stay it may as well be someone as stunning as Madison Lane. She intrigues me with her haughty attitude, but there is no mistaking this is a woman on a mission. She wants partnership in the compa

    Madison Seriously, this house is sprawling it’s simply amazing. From the floor to ceiling, sliding glass doors I can see out on to the deck and yes it does have a jacuzzi. I can’t wait to go in that tonight after what I am sure will be my worst dinner out. EVER. At least I don’t have to fake date him that much, I can just slide in next to Alex at the restaurant and make small talk. That better be all that is expected from me. Back to the deck, I open the sliding doors and Belle goes trotting out, her tail is high and the way her back legs move it looks like she is wearing high heeled shoes, it’s the cutest thing ever. I adore my little girl. She’s definitely my best friend. Other than my bestie, April of course. I can see the woodland straight in front of me and a lake, it’s serene and tranquil. Perfect for sitting on the deck and reading a book. I’m a huge book nerd and at the moment I’m in my classical era and currently reading Anna Karenina. One of my all-time favorites but it is

    Alex She smelt of strawberries as I leant in close to her, it was all I could do to stop myself from planting a kiss on those pouty lips of hers, so full and asking to be kissed and sucked. My dick is pulsing in my shorts, good job she has turned away from me otherwise she’d see my erection growing. Now I’m going to have to go and have another shower and give myself a seeing too just to relieve myself. There is no way in hell I can go out tonight unless I get my rocks off one way or another. “Haven’t you gone yet?” She asks me as she scoops her little dog up into her arms. “Yes, darlin’. I’m going to get showered and ready for our first date.” I grin. She avoids all eye contact. Maybe she doesn’t feel she can take the sight of me in just my naked torso and shorts. I don’t blame her; I work hard at this body and I know just how sculpted it is. I have to be fit for all the endurance on the ice and I pride myself on working out and staying lean, fit and healthy. “This is not a first d

    Madison That man incenses me like nothing else. How dare he stand right in my space? I mean, really? And the worst bit, I almost went to mush inhaling his masculinity and his skin so damn close to mine. I wanted to lean into him and wrap my legs around his waist so my aching pussy that behaved like a traitorous bitch, could feel his hard stomach. I groan as I make my way back to the bedroom with Belle trotting behind me. I can hear the click-clack of her tiny nails on the wood flooring. It’s kind of cute. I know my face is burning red, it feels like it’s been torched. I’ve never been affected like this before by any man. I’ve had my fair share, I’m not a nun. Far from it and yeah so what, I’ve dated here and there and sometimes I’ll just have a casual hook-up if I need to release. Since I’ve been working so hard trying to get up the ladder and impress my boss, Ruben, I’ve been whacked out and not felt much like going out, so my trusty vibrator has had to do. Not that I’m complaining

    Alex I chuckle, she is fiery I will give her that. I’m a man who loves a good challenge, on the ice I’m competitive as hell and I always take any game on to win, and I am hell bent on getting Madison Lane on side. WTF? Did I really just think that? Only just a day ago she was the last person I wanted in my space. Intruding into my home, covering me 24/7 and fake dating but like I said, there are fates worse than this one. Our driver pulls up to a stop. We’re outside the restaurant, with it’s gold lettering on a dark green bowed awning. It’s swanky. My manager makes a lot of money out of my ass, I wouldn’t expect anything less. Already, I can see photographers outside and people. I groan. This is the worst part of being top of your game in NHL. Not just for me but my team too and of course anyone else who is in the spotlight whether it’s an artist or a sports person. This comes with the territory, but it can be draining. “Let’s give them a show, Petal.” I say as I squeeze her hand.

    MadisonI could simply die from embarrassment of kissing him in public. That’s not the worst, however. No. The worst is how my body reacted to his touch like lightning had struck me, the kind of shit you read in books and see in the movies. It was like an i***a-connection, and it has freaked me out.The moment he leaned in for the kiss my breath hitched, and I was a gonna. Can you fucking believe it, me Madison Lane in control, on top of my shit not some horny teenage girl? His breath tasted of the alcohol and mint from brushing his teeth. Good to know he’s a man on top of his oral game. And that tongue of his, let me tell you he is a man who knows exactly what he is doing.I’m not surprised this particular man-whore has had practice and then some. I’m embarrassed that he heard me groan into his mouth, an involuntary groan I have to say. And now all I want to do is slap him. Oh, Petal, I’ve only just begun. Who the hell does he think he is? This is all fake and it’s going to stay that

    AlexI inhale her fragrance; I couldn’t tell you what it is off the top of my head since I’m not a fragrance connoisseur but it’s florally and musky at the same time. In fact, it’s quite heady. We are seated together with Levi and coach opposite us, no doubt a ploy for nosey people in the restaurant, even though they have their own lives they still want to know what’s going on in mine.“Firstly, thank you for coming on board.” Levi says to Madison, she smiles. I can tell it’s fake. She is not happy about this in the slightest and at first, I wasn’t either but like I said, now I’m kind of intrigued by her. I think I might actually like her, whoa where the hell did that come from. I’m not the kind of guy that likes a girl. I love them sure in the sense of I love their bodies, the way they smell and their femininity and of course getting them under my body but not in the sense of liking. Do you know what I mean?Levi coughs, it’s like a tick. He does this when he is nervous, I really want

    MadisonI cannot wait to get out of here and away from Levi, his coach and Alex. This has got to be the most boring night I’ve had in a long time. Don’t get me wrong, they’re nice guys but they did put me in this ridiculous position and also, sitting this close to Alex, well let’s just say it’s making me a bit too hot for my liking.I have no idea why my body is reacting like this; I want it to stop right now. Then I feel something on my leg under the tablecloth, it’s his fucking hand. Is he serious? He squeezes my thigh; I turn and glare at him. His eyes are looking at me.“What do you think you’re doing?” I ask through gritted teeth causing both Levi and his coach to glance up from their meals.He removes his hand, thank God. His touch was firm and warm, I could feel the heat radiating off him. “I want to leave.” I push my chair back and stand up. No, we haven’t finished dinner in fact we haven’t even got to the dessert yet.“You can’t leave just yet, we still wanted to discuss the

    AlexThat was all a bit feisty wasn’t it, I mean standing up, huffing and puffing telling me I was harassing her? Jeez-us, all I did was squeeze her thigh and it felt good. Her legs are toned, I bet she works out a lot. Now my mind is wandering to her in skintight leggings in my home gym and some kind of bralette exercise top.“Are you listening, Stone?” I am brought back by the sound of Coaches voice.“Run that by me again.” I say as Madison glares at me.“I said, I want you at the rink by seven sharp tomorrow morning with the photoshoot for you both after, I need you there early. The rest of the time will be there too so don’t think I’m calling you out.” Coach looks mean when he’s being serious, but I know he has a heart of gold. He took me in and under his wing when my stepdad first ever brought me to see him, back in the day when I was still a teenager and in high school, making my name for myself already back then.Coach told my stepdad that I definitely had potential and to brin

    Alex - 19 years later “Can you see that, is he about to kiss her? I’m not having no guy groping our daughter outside in front of my goddamn eyes.” I am watching Anastacia with her arms round some guy’s neck and my blood pressure is hitting an all-time high.“Calm down, Alex, honestly she’s eighteen, she is going to have boyfriends.”“His tongue is practically at her tonsils.” I move away from the island and start to go towards the kitchen door.“Hey, not so quick, Mr Stone. Let her be. You can grill him when he comes in with her and please be Mr Nice. Okay, this is her first boyfriend she’s bringing home to dinner.” I watch as Madi takes the turkey out and bastes it. Damn it smells so good.I notice how pert her ass is still from all her running and Pilates. I want to go run my hand along it and give her a good slap, only I know I’ll get a raging hard on and want to fuck her. Still after all these years I am obsessed with Madi. She has grown into a beautiful woman and still just in he

    Madison – A year and a half laterI swear to God, looking at Alex holding Anastasia out on the rink having just won his game makes me pool in my seat. The other hockey wives and girlfriends are smiling on as Alex holds her in his arms and the crowd is going wild. Not just because the team have won their home game but because our little girl is gurgling away in his arms. It's hard to believe that Stasia is now ten months old. She's been an absolute joy to our lives and watching Alex with his baby girl is the cutest thing ever. If anyone had of told me what two years or so ago, when I stood on his doorstep for the first time that I'd be in a VIP area watching him holding a baby in his arms and our baby, I'd have laughed in their face.She's wearing cute white tights with pink hearts on them, a tulle pink skirt and a faux fur jacket in cream with a sweet band around her head to match her tights. She is loving the attention; he lowers his head to kiss the top of her head and she looks up

    MadisonI can hear voices, I feel strange, and I am in so much pain all over my body and my head hurts like crazy. Why does it feel so hard to open my eyes? What the hell is going on? Where am I?There’s something warm and calloused holding my hand, I struggle to open my eyes, but I can definitely hear voices. Is that my mother’s voice? And Henri’s? I try my darndest to move my fingers, but it feels like such an effort. Now I’m just frightened, something has happened to me, and I have no idea what.I try again, then I feel a squeeze back, “Madi, Madi. Are you awake, talk to me Petal.” I know that low voice, it’s Alex. My eyes flutter but God they feel so weighted down that I still struggle. “Madi, darling open your eyes if you can. Or if you can hear me beautiful, move your fingers.”Okay that I can do, I move my fingers and I hear crying. I hear my momma’s voice. “Is she awake? Has she finally woken? Oh my gosh, we need to get a doctor in here quickly. Henri, please run out and let so

    AlexIt’s getting late, my arm has gone numb as I lean my head on it. I feel like drifting off to sleep but I’m not going to do that, not when Madi could wake up at any second.Her mother, father and Henri came back in and stayed for a while. It was good to finally meet them, but honestly, I wish too, that it was under different circumstances.“You thinking of staying in the game?” Her father had asked me, I am pretty sure his eyes were glowering. “Dangerous sport, Son.”“It can be, Sir. I’ve had my fair share of knocks, bruises and breakages. I’ve transferred to Austin so I can be with Madi. It’s all just gone through.” He seemed pleased with that. I kind of got the feeling he was putting feelers out for how exactly it would work with Madi and I being engaged and me still being in Colorado. At least I think I managed to appease him. He looks like a pretty tough nut to crack.So would I be if Madi was my daughter, hell when we have kids one day because I will remain hopeful, that Madi

    AlexI’ve just landed and turned my mobile on. Man, it’s firing away and going crazy. What the fuck? I check the messages and see numerous calls from an Austin number. I don’t recognize it. Why would I? The only numbers I know from Austin are Madi’s and my new coach and manager.There are five voice mails, phew somebody wants to get hold of me pretty damn bad. My driver takes my bag from me and slings it in the trunk then opens the door for me, once I’m outside. “Thanks,” I say and throw myself in the back of the car.I listen to the first voice message.“Hi, this is Madison Lane’s mom, your number is stored in her phone. We’ve not met yet but I know she’s dating you. Alex, you need to come to the hospital straight away. There’s been an accident.”What the hell? Shit, Madi, hospital. “Take me straight to the hospital please. How long will that take? I need to get there like yesterday.”“Absolutely, Alex. We’re half an hour away.”“Half an hour, put your foot down.” I’ll have a seizure

    Madison“I’m so excited, I’m so excited,” I sing along to myself as I finish cleaning before Alex arrives. Everything is zinging away inside my body including my lady flower. It’s only been a couple of nights, but you know, I just can’t wait to see him.I’m about to head over to the house viewing and meeting the realtor lady, Helena in just an hour’s time. Things seem to be going in the right direction and I have to admit, the fact that Alex has decided to leave Colorado for Austin has got my heart racing. I can’t wait for him to tell me all about his conversation with Levy and coach. I kinda feel sad in a way for coach because I know Alex has been with him since after high school. But Levy, well he can go do one. That man has been a bain in my life ever since he knew, Alex and I were going serious.I can’t even begin to imagine how amazing our lives are going to be with him based here in Austin. I twirl around singing into the wooden spoon now in my hand, I’m preparing his favorite me

    Alex“How is Madi?” Riley asks me as we head into yet another ice rink building. I’m tired, the games have been back2back and everything aches. Or maybe it’s because I have been trying to burn the candle at both ends. Yeah, that’s probably it. And I’m not getting any younger, at my age in my mid-twenties, it’s kinda getting on in this game.“She’s doing well, busy as always. I’ve decided to buy a ranch in Austin.” I don’t of course tell him that I have a meeting set with Levy and coach in precisely thirty minutes time. I feel nervous but why should I? I mean this is my life, Austin wants me and the hell if I am not going to be close to Madi.The way I see it, you I can play hockey for any team. Being top of the game out there on the ice, I have more than enough feelers from teams wanting me. My sponsors want me no matter which team I’m with although my assistant has told me that when I’m with Austin, Nike will be in touch. Now that is a deal I am hanging for, they’re my all-time brand

    MadisonI stretch and point my toes feeling heavenly after several hot orgasms from the one and only Alex Stone. Sometimes I feel like pinching myself. Not only he is the Alex Stone but he’s my fiancé. It still makes me smile from ear to ear when I say that word, fiancé. It just has such an amazing ring to it.“So, tell me then what is the big new? But you know we also need to talk about how we’re going to do this long-term. Should I speak with Ruben and see if I can work remotely from Colorado?”He places an arm under my head then loops his arm to bring me into his chest. I lay a hand on his pec and trace around his nipple. “Unless you want another round you best stop doing that, Petal.” He gives me a wolfish grin, yeah, a girl could come undone from that grin alone. The man is pure magic.“You don’t need to speak with your boss about anything. I’ve got it under control. I’ve been speaking with Austin and….” he leaves the sentence hanging.“And? So, tell me?” I pause digesting what he

    AlexI’m so excited to see Madi when I get back after the game tonight. Levy has been giving me the cold shoulder since I got to the rink. Tough shit, I have some amazing news that is going to blow Madi’s mind that’s for sure and I cannot wait to see her.I’m planning on flying to Austin straight after the press conference after the game, let’s hope we win this one. Not that we particularly need to since we are already in the qualifiers for the Stanley Cup.“Hey, Bro you have a big smile on your face, a shit eating grin.” Riley slaps me on the back as I pull off my black T-shirt and start getting ready. I pull down my pants and slide on my hockey bottoms.“Hustle up,” coach shouts out as he enters and glares at me. Okay I feel somewhat paranoid right now, does he know what I’m up to? Has he got wind of my plans? I mean it could be someone has let the cat out of the bag.“Life is good, Riley, so good. I’ve got the woman of my dreams and I have some shit going on that makes me so fucking
