The taller officer stared at Michael. The man did not blink, and he did not offer a friendly smile. He repeated his demand for Michael to step out of the dorm and come down to the station. The threat of an arrest hung heavy in the quiet hallway. The victorious joy we felt from watching the morning news broadcast vanished in a single second. The war was far from over.

I did not waste time thinking about my next move. I reacted on pure protective instinct. I stepped forward and placed my body rig

  • DANGEROUS ICE: MY HOCKEY NEMESIS IS MY SINFUL OBSESSION   INTERVIEW AND AUTHOR'S NOTE

    INTERVIEWThe Setting: A slightly cramped, dimly lit studio office. I am sitting behind a desk piled high with notebooks and coffee cups. Michael and Axel are sitting on a worn-out leather sofa across from me. Michael is leaning back, looking entirely too relaxed, while Axel is trying to adjust his scrubs and look professional.Me (The Writer): "Listen, I am only doing this because my editor forced me to, and quite frankly, I am still recovering from the stress you two put me through. You kept me up until three in the morning for months, Michael, and I haven't forgiven you for that stunt at the press conference. Try to keep the PDA to a minimum, or I swear I will write a scene where you both get food poisoning from that pizza you love so much. Am I understood?"Michael: [He smirks, leaning an arm along the back of the sofa, looking at me with pure amusement.] "You’re the one who put us in these situations, aren't you? If anyone should be apologizing for the stress, I think it’s the pe

  • DANGEROUS ICE: MY HOCKEY NEMESIS IS MY SINFUL OBSESSION   CHAPTER 146 ~ EPILOGUE

    The morning light filtered through the glass windows of our kitchen, and the soft glow illuminated my heavy nursing textbooks. I sat at the marble island with a steaming mug of coffee, and I focused on the complex diagrams for my final board exams.The house felt very peaceful, and the only sound came from the distant hum of the dishwasher in the next room. I took a slow sip of my drink, and I felt a sense of calm that I never managed to find during my college years.I heard the familiar thumping of footsteps in the living room, and I looked over my shoulder to see Michael sitting on the fabric sofa. He wore a pair of comfortable gray sweatpants, and he held a cold ice pack against his right knee."How does the knee feel after that professional game last night?" I asked him, and I pushed my thick textbook aside to focus on his recovery. "You played very hard, and I watched the final period until the clock hit zero.""My knee feels a lot better today, because the ice helps reduce the s

    I knelt on the carpeted floor of the quiet hallway, and I held the small velvet box up to the man I loved. Axel stared at the silver ring shining under the overhead lights, and hot tears spilled down his flushed cheeks.He covered his mouth with his shaking hands, and he let out a loud sob that echoed in the empty corridor. I waited for his verbal answer, and my heart beat fast inside my chest."You are an absolute idiot for doing this today, Michael," Axel cried out, and he wiped the wet tears from his face. "You told the national sports media about our private life, and you almost gave me a heart attack in that crowded room.""I wanted the whole world to know you belong to me, and I did not want to wait another day," I answered him. "I love you a lot, so please tell me your final answer.""Yes, I will marry you," Axel spoke through his happy tears, and he nodded his head several times to confirm his choice. "I will marry you, but I am still mad at you for the public surprise."I let

    His final word echoed through the large media room, and my brain stopped working for a few seconds. I stood frozen near the heavy wooden doors, and I felt a bright red blush cover my warm face.The quiet room erupted into loud chaos, and the sharp noise hurt my ears. The sports journalists gasped out loud, and they typed fast messages into their laptop computers.They twisted their bodies in their metal folding chairs, and they turned around to follow Michael's loving gaze. A dozen bright camera flashes pointed toward the back of the room, and the photographers took pictures of my blue medical scrubs.The reporters started shouting new questions at the wooden podium, and they begged Michael for more details about our relationship. They wanted to know the date of the wedding, and they asked about my identity.I felt very overwhelmed by the unexpected attention, and I wanted to hide my red face behind my hands. I did not know how to handle the national sports media, and I felt very scar

    A young man in the front row suddenly stood up from his metal folding chair, and he held a yellow notepad in his hand. He did not wait for permission to speak, and he pulled the silver microphone close to his mouth.The loud reporter stared at Michael with a challenging look, and he decided to ask a very personal question. The room grew very quiet, and the other journalists stopped typing on their keyboards to listen."My sources claim you rejected the initial rookie offer during your first meeting with the front office last month," the reporter shouted into the microphone. "Is it true you almost gave up this draft pick to stay in-state with your partner?"I stopped breathing for a second, and I felt a cold chill run down my spine. The question felt very intrusive, and I worried the media would try to spin our private lives into a negative scandal for the public.The team manager stepped forward with a deep frown on his face, and he reached out to grab the microphone away from the pod

  • DANGEROUS ICE: MY HOCKEY NEMESIS IS MY SINFUL OBSESSION   CHAPTER 142 ~ INTIMIDATING

    I started my morning orientation at the Seattle hospital very early, and the large medical center felt very intimidating. I walked through the busy emergency ward, and I introduced myself to the senior nursing staff.The medical equipment looked very advanced, and the clean hallways smelled like fresh antiseptic. I carried my heavy textbook under my arm, and I took careful notes during the training sessions.I wanted to prove I deserved the transfer spot, and I answered all the medical questions with quick confidence. The doctors treated me with respect, and they did not care about the viral sports videos from last month.They only cared about my practical skills, and I demonstrated my ability to handle stressful situations with ease. I checked the vital signs of a few patients, and I helped the team organize the supply closets before lunch.The head doctor praised my gentle bedside manner, and he told me I possessed a great instinct for medicine. I felt very validated by his kind wor

    The shocking confession hung heavily in the quiet bedroom. I lifted my head from his chest and stared down at his face. The faint light coming from the hallway illuminated the severe pain in his dark eyes. He was completely serious, and he did not look away from the ceiling. "What do you mean she

    The heavy fabric of his dark sweatpants bunched around his knees, leaving him completely exposed to the cool air of the bedroom. Michael let out a ragged gasp and dropped his head back against the thick grey pillows. His chest was still heaving with the lingering remnants of his severe panic attack

    I pressed my foot down hard on the gas pedal. The heavy iron gates of the massive estate finally appeared in the bright headlights of the sports car. I reached for the digital console and punched in the security code Michael had given me yesterday. The metal barriers swung open very slowly, and I d

    The heavy canvas hockey bag slipped from Michael's broad shoulder, and it hit the concrete pavement with a loud thud. He did not reach down to pick it up. His entire body locked up, and he stared at the older man with wide, terrified eyes. The confident, dominant athlete I had just practiced with v
