Ivy

The evening practice had settled into a steady rhythm. The team was running drills, sticks clashing, skates carving sharp lines into the ice. I stayed on the sidelines, camera raised, trying to focus on my job instead of the way Asher kept glancing in my direction every few minutes.

Things were stable and almost normal.

Until Coach Harlan blew his whistle and waved me over.

“Hart, come here for a second.”

My stomach tightened. I lowered my camera and walked over to the bench where he stood.

  • Skating Into Sin: Fake Dating My Hockey Bully   Chapter 11

    AsherIf anyone had told me few days ago that I’d end up in a fake relationship with Ivy Hart, let alone publicly announce it in front of half the campus, I would’ve had them arrested for insanity.Charity Case.That’s what she used to be to me. The quiet girl in high school I tormented just because I could. I thought if I pushed hard enough, she’d disappear. Break. Leave me alone. But she never did. She just took it, endured it, and somehow still ended up here — at Northbridge, with a full ride, camera in hand, and that stubborn fire in her eyes that refused to die.And now?Now I’m the one who can’t seem to stay away.I loaded her ridiculously oversized suitcase into the bus compartment, ignoring the way she murmured a quiet “thank you.” I didn’t respond. Just slammed the compartment shut and headed inside to sit with the guys.The second I dropped into my seat, the teasing started.“Yo, lover boy!” Jax called from across the aisle, grinning like an idiot. “Since when do you play

I lowered my camera and walked over to the bench where he stood. He wiped sweat from his brow with the back of his hand, looking unusually serious.“How are you doing today? I heard about the five points deducted from your scholarship,” he said without preamble. “That’s rough.”I nodded, swallowing hard. “Yes, Coach.”He sighed. “You know how these things work. Those points can follow you all the way to graduation, affect your overall standing, future recommendations, everything. As a scholarship student, there’s not much wiggle room.”I stayed quiet, grippi

    IvyAsher looked up at the reporters, his expression shifting instantly from irritated to fiercely protective.“Look, guys, you want a statement? Here it is.” Asher’s voice carried down the corridor, deep and authoritative. He tilted his head down and pressed a slow, lingering kiss to the top of my head. The unexpected softness of his lips against my hair made my breath hitch. “Ivy and I are together. What happened last night was just a fight. Couples argue, and unfortunately, things got loud, emotions ran high, and it looked worse on video. But we’re fine. We’re good. Now turn the cameras off and give us some space.”The reporters erupted with a barrage of new questions — When did you start dating? What about Jennie? Is this serious? — but Asher ignored them all. Keeping his arm locked securely around my shoulders, he steered me down the hall, forcing me to walk in perfect lockstep with him.Every eye in the athletic complex was glued to us. His body heat radiated against my side, hi

    Ivy Girlfriend? I stared at Asher like he’d lost his damn mind. My brain was still short-circuiting from the kiss — the way his hands had cupped my face, the heat of his mouth, the way my stupid body had leaned into it for those few treacherous seconds. The moment we stepped inside the empty hockey lounge, I yanked my hand out of his and exploded. “Are you out of your mind?” I yelled, voice echoing off the walls. “There is no way in hell I’m dating you!” Asher scrubbed a hand over his face, looking as exhausted as I felt. “Tell that to Coach Harlan. He’s the one who suggested this. If the public thinks we’re in a relationship, the whole thing gets spun as a lovers’ quarrel instead of athlete misconduct. I get to stay on the team. You get to keep your scholarship.” I held up a hand. “Hold on. None of this is making any sense.” He kept talking like I hadn’t spoken, pacing in front of the lockers. “We have to think radical here, Ivy. The school doesn’t punish messy love lives. The

    IvyI walked across campus clutching my bag like a lifeline, my steps slow and heavy. The meeting with the student adviser kept replaying in my head on an endless loop.The woman had been polite but firm, her expression unreadable as she reviewed the notes on her laptop.“The board is already reviewing your scholarship in light of the recent… incident,” she had said. “We’ll try to contain the situation, but only if the attention dies down quickly. Otherwise, you may have to forfeit the scholarship entirely.”She had paused, then added, “I’ll be in touch soon, Miss Hart.”Just like that. No “one more chance.” No warnings. Just the cold reality that everything I had fought for could be taken away.I thought back to the two years of endless applications, rejection letters, late nights filling out forms while Mom was in treatment, and the constant fear that someone like me didn’t deserve a shot at Northbridge. I had sacrificed so much to get here. And now, barely a week into the semester,

    IvyI barely slept.After the chaos at the party, after the slap, after watching Asher walk away into the night, I had tossed and turned for hours. The alcohol had left me with a dull headache and a heavy sense of dread. I finally drifted off sometime close to dawn.“Ivy! Ivy, wake up!”Lena’s voice yanked me violently back to consciousness. She burst into the room, still in her pajamas, waving her phone like it was on fire.“Ivy, oh my God, wake up right now!”I sat up groggily, rubbing my eyes. My head pounded. “What… what time is it?”“You need to see this.” She shoved the phone into my hands, already playing a video.The clip was shaky, clearly filmed by someone in the crowd at the party. It started with Asher grabbing my wrist and pulling me away, then Marcus intervening. The fight exploded on screen — punches, shoving, drinks flying. Then the camera zoomed in on the moment I slapped Asher hard across the face. The audio caught the sharp crack perfectly.The caption above the vid

    Chapter 5: The HeroThe sick bay smelled like antiseptic and stale coffee. Asher carried me straight through the doors like some tragic hero from a romance movie, my wet clothes dripping all over the floor. The nurse on duty jumped up from her desk, eyes wide.“What happened?” she asked, rushing ov

    I couldn’t sleep.I tossed and turned on my narrow dorm bed, the sheets twisting around my legs like restraints. Every time I closed my eyes, Asher’s face appeared — that split-second hesitation in the VIP room, followed by the cruel smirk as he shoved me out. Would he keep my secret? Or was he alr

    The silence after the slap was deafening.For one heartbeat, the entire student lounge seemed to freeze. Then chaos erupted.Gasps turned into murmurs. Phones stayed raised, lenses pointed straight at us like weapons. Someone whispered, “Did she just slap the captain?” Another voice laughed nervous

    The silence that followed Asher’s words was worse than laughter.I stood frozen at the entrance of the hockey club while twenty pairs of eyes bounced between us. Nobody spoke. Nobody moved. Everyone seemed to be waiting for an explanation.For a moment, I foolishly hoped he had changed. Two years h
