Meet Madison Lane, a passionate sports journalist with a heart as resilient as the toughest hockey puck. When she's assigned to cover the upcoming championship series, Madison never expected that her professional life would collide with the rugged world of the Coldridge Icebreakers. The very man she cannot stand for his man whorish ways is to be the centerpiece of her coverage, when she has to cover him 24/7 AND move in with him. Alex Stone the man whore of the hockey scene has no time for a sports journalist living in his back pocket, especially not one that he can't take his eyes off and control himself with. She is everything he doesn't want in his life besides, she is becoming his biggest distraction. But when a fake dating scheme orchestrated by the team's public relations team throws Madison and Alex into a whirlwind of media attention, their worlds collide. They're forced to show the world they are a couple. Will their fake relationship become blurred around the edges and become the real thing?
View MoreMadisonMixed feelings right now, which is bizarre. Austin won and it’s my hometown so I should be over the moon, right? Only, I am disappointed for Alex and the team and since when did I start to care about how Alex would feel? I guess right now is the long and short of it.I watched as he went and clapped the other center player on the back and held his arm up in the air, very sporting. It’s just a kind of nice thing to do. His team have gone round congratulating the Austin team, it makes me have a lump in my throat. Oh for goodness sake get a grip Lane.He skates over the screen again. “We’re all going out for some drinks after you can join us. Bring the camera if you need to take pictures. Our team photographer will be there too.”I nod at him. Drinks, yes that is what I need some drink to let off steam. All the sexual tension from the other night and in the lift, I need to let that off. Hell, if I weren’t with Alex I could even find a hook up and get off properly not using my toy
Alex I inhale her fragrance, it’s fresh and fruity but with a touch of muskiness. I bet it’s expensive maybe Chanel or Dior. I make a mental note to try and find out, then I can stock her room with a nice gift set. I think something with body lotions, face mask, moisturizer, you know the whole pamper kit of her favorite fragrance. “Earth to Alex.” Riley says. Damnit, I am not ready to be interrupted from my thoughts just yet, not with my arm around her and the touch of her lips still lingering on mind. I see her hooded eyes, that’s a good sign. She feels almost pliable now in my arm. “We have to get going. Enough with the kissing already.” I flick him the finger. “Nice.” Madi says. “See you guys after the game. Best of luck.” “Thanks. We’ll win, I have a good feeling about it.” I squeeze her to me, she goes to push me away then softens. Madi feels good in my arm, I want to hold on to her for a while longer and kiss those luscious lips of hers again. “Go.” She urges and releases h
MadisonI’ve been to many sporting events covering the players I am assigned via Ruben’s paper, but this is incredible. I’ve not been to a hockey game in quite some years, mainly I have been covering basketball and baseball. The crowd is insane, there are throngs of people outside the stadium and inside where we are right now.“Ready for the spotlight, Petal?” He asks me as we move inside the building, his lips turned upwards, damn he has a cute smile and those icy blue eyes of his are doing things to my insides. I clench my thighs together and remind myself I must not get any designs on sleeping with Alex Stone. He is off limits as far as I am concerned, what gain would there be? Although, I guess a bit of fun wouldn’t go amiss.My bestie, April keeps banging on about the fact that I need to see some action. It has been a while and to be honest, the sex hasn’t been that great with my previous boyfriends or lovers. I mean it’s been okay but nothing I’d scream from the rooftops about.
Alex Her breath smelt of coffee and her lips had parted, there was no denying she felt aroused too. Seriously, if I didn’t have a game to play tonight and Coach already on my ass, I’d have taken it further. I know she wants me, why she has to be so stubborn about letting go of how she truly feels is beyond me. Madison Lane sure is a tough nut to crack. I’ll be perfectly honest; I am not used to this. Women are usually all too quick to want to drop their panties for me and have me pleasure them, that’s if they’re wearing any. We reach the bottom floor; my driver is waiting by the car. “Can’t you walk anywhere?” She asks. I raise my eyebrows. If only she knew how much walking, I have had to do in my lifetime. All of this, the cars, the money, the lifestyle that is all my own doing it wasn’t always like this. Especially not when my dad left. Man, it was hard. I’d have to walk for miles to get to the rink because we lived outside of town in a small bungalow type property until my mom m
Madison“Hey, Mom how are you both? I’m in Austin until tomorrow afternoon and have a couple of hours spare are you at home?” My mom almost screeches down the phone. Seriously, anyone would think I had moved to the North Pole and been away for two years plus. I hold the phone away from my ear.“Yes, we will be in. Hold on a minute.” I hear her murmuring to my dad. “Dad will be here too. Come over as soon as you can? How come you are back already? How is the assignment going? Oh, never mind just get ready and come on over. I made a lemon drizzle cake, your favorite so that worked out well. I was just thinking about you.” Mom is talking ten to the dozen, I can imagine her flapping around now all excited.“I’ll be there in say thirty minutes. Just need to pull on some jeans and sort Belle out. Will Henri or Jefferson be there?”“Jefferson is playing away at the minute; he’s got a gig in Vegas for a week.”“Ah, well I happen to be heading off to Vegas soon with Alex maybe I could catch u
AlexShe is cute and sexy as she huffs and puffs around the suite. I swear I could just pick her up, throw her on the bed, part those gorgeous legs of hers and bury my face right between her thighs. That would most certainly chill her out. I bet she’s never had an orgasm like I give them.“So, are you going to wear my jersey tonight?” I ask as I lay on the over-sized bed watching her unpack. “I told you someone would unpack everything.” She ignores me and continues to take stuff out of her case. I swear this woman does not know the meaning of travelling light. We’re only coming for the one night.“I. Am. Not. Wearing. Your. Jersey.” Her voice has an edge to it. I raise my eyebrows.“That won’t look good, you being my girlfriend and all.”“Why do you have to be such a dick? Were you born a dick.”“Hey, that’s not nice. That would be insinuating my mother gave birth to a dick and nobody insults my mother.”She mumbles an apology. “Fucks, sake.” She raises her hands in the air then lets
Madison Well, that was all very awkward, they kept looking at me like I had three heads and shaking their own heads. Yeah, I know it seems a lot for them to take in that Alex Stone, their hockey brother has got a full-time girlfriend. Trust me, it makes me fuel inside to even be thought of as being his girlfriend. But what can I do now? I accepted the deal and there is no way of getting out of it for six months. I have to admit though, him being so close to me when he leant over and his kissable, full lips so close to mine, had me a bit hot under the collar. I could easily have kissed him and allowed my tongue to wander into his mouth, to taste him. It was clear to see the desire in his eyes, his pupils were so large and black. This is ridiculous. How can I even be attracted to a man I cannot stand? Levi is the first to come up to us after we have landed. “Good to see you made it, Madison.” “I don’t have a choice like I keep saying, I signed my life away for the next few months.”
Alex“Coach.” I say as I get out of the limo. He is already at the jet with his arms folded. Okay, so I am a bit late, but I had to wait for Madison to get her shit together and judging by the large pull-along case she has with her, she has packed for a fortnight.“Stone. You’re late.” He says gruffly. “Madison, good you could make it.”“Did I have a choice?” She quips back, flicks her hair and marches in front of me and up the stairs. Damn, I love the way her fine ass moves. I could reach out and touch it, only it would be inappropriate in front of coach and the other team members who are milling around, some finishing off smoking or just waiting until the last minute to board.Coach raises his eyebrows at me. “A dog. On board?”“She comes with a dog, Coach. What can I say?” I shrug my shoulders.“Not so quick. How is it going with her since dinner last night?”“Tense. As you can expect, she doesn’t want to be part of this charade, just as much as I don’t want to be either. We’ll do
Madison“Do not ever get that close to me again. I swear next time I will cut your fucking dick off.” I huff out of the room. Seriously, when I had to lean in closer to him for a picture at the direction of the photographer, who I hasten to add I could hang; there was no mistaking Alex’s boner under the duvet. I almost recoiled yet my bloody body got the better of myself and I lost total control of my mind as I allowed my hand to rest on it, long enough to feel him twitch.Jeez-us, I hope that Breena didn’t notice, she seemed to be staring intently for an awfully long time at Alex. So what if he is like an Adonis with his honed and toned physique and muscles on his muscles, not to mention that perfect tan skin. Don’t even get me started on his electric blue yes, they’re like pools that draw you in.I am madder at myself than at him, I think. Yes, that is it. I am so flipping angry with myself for being attracted to him, this is utter crap. I want out like yesterday. Stuff the money, s
