Damian Montague a powerful CEO who thrives on control, his world dominated by business and his own rigid rules. He doesn't understand sports and certainly doesn't care about the cheerleaders who bring energy to the games. That is, until he meets Kylie Castellan-a fiery 20-year-old Dallas Cowboys cheerleader and finance college student whose undeniable charisma turns his world upside down. There's one thing Damian can't seem to shake: he wants her. Not just for her beauty or her vibrant energy, but because he craves control over her-a desire to make her dance only for him, to claim her and her attention in a way no one else can. She belongs on the field, dazzling a crowd, but all he can think about is taking her out of that spotlight and making her his. His to command. His to protect. His to break and rebuild, until the only thing she lives for is him.

As it turns out, our scandal left his reputation more damaged than mine and if he can't redeem it, he can kiss his spot on the team goodbye. The worst part of it all?

Our dads were the NHL's original bad boys. Now it's our turn. We're Serkan and Ziven Woods-cousins, legacy players, and the league's next obsession. Add in Leander Hunt, son of NHL's original good boy-our childhood friend we call cousin-and you've got the most-watched rookie trio in the game. The spotlight's on us. The pressure is brutal. But we were born for this. Raised for the rink. Built to break records. What we weren't ready for? The girls. The chaos. Each other. This isn't your typical hockey romance. It's louder. Dirtier. More unhinged. Because this legacy we're carrying? It's not just about the game. It's about the chaos, the girls, and the wreckage we'll gladly burn for. Three names. Two legacies. Zero chill. Welcome to the Woods-Hunt Heirs era. [Can be read as a standalone, 18+ Mature Audience, SMUT warning, Mentions of drugs, parties, obsession, love triangle, babysitter, age gap, alcohol, kinks, etc.]

Soren Woods was born to play hockey-until he destroyed it. Suspended. Canceled. Done. Now he's hiding out in a no-name town, licking his wounds and haunted by the wreckage he left behind-his career, his brother, and whatever pieces of himself he hasn't already burned to the ground. Coaching wasn't part of the plan. Coaching a college women's hockey team? Hell no. But when the offer comes from a desperate program and a paycheck he can't afford to ignore, he figures how hard can it be? The ice is about to get dangerously hot.

Luken Hunt is a virgin. A 23 year-old, NHL-playing, star-forward virgin. He's spent years dodging the post-game parties, the groupies, the endless opportunities that come with being a pro athlete. He's too focused on hockey, too awkward, too... completely out of his depth when it comes to women. Then Brooklyn Launder walks into his life. Sharp, stunning, and absolutely off-limits, she's the sports reporter who's seen it all-cocky athletes, bad pickup lines, and men who think they can charm their way into her life. But Luken? He's different. And when a flustered interview of his goes viral, turning the league's most unapproachable player into everyone's favorite bashful hockey heartthrob, Brooklyn finds herself just as intrigued as the rest of the internet. So when he confesses he's never even been kissed properly, Brooklyn makes a proposition-a few lessons. Just to help him out. A kiss here, a little guidance there. Nothing serious. Until the first lesson turns into two. Then three. And suddenly, Luken is learning fast-not just how to kiss, but how to touch, tease, and drive Brooklyn absolutely insane. But with the media watching, a locker room full of relentless teammates, and a career that demands all of him, Luken has to decide if he's ready to risk it all-for the one thing he's never had. A slow-burn, forbidden, scorching-hot hockey romance where the shy, virgin hockey star gets the ultimate education-and the woman he never saw coming. 𓅷 [SMUT Warning] [18+ Mature Audiences] Don't copy my work I will find you 🔪 4/14/25 1 in #sports 1 in friendswithbenefits 1 in hockey 1 in badgirlgoodboy 1 in nhlhockey 1 in nhlfanficton

Amelia Landing a position as lead photographer for the Griffins is a dream come true. Capturing every intense game, every unforgettable moment on the ice-this is everything I've worked for. After everything I've been through, this job is supposed to be my sanctuary, a place where I can keep a safe distance from anyone who might get too close. Besides, with the no-fraternization clause, there's no danger of crossing any lines...or there shouldn't be. But then there's him-the star defenseman, with that easy smile and hopeless romantic heart. He doesn't know my past, and he can't understand why I can't risk letting him in. He's a complication I didn't ask for, a temptation I can't afford. But part of me wonders what it might feel like to believe in someone again...if only I dared. Logan After getting burned once, I told myself I wouldn't go all in again. Love was supposed to come easy to me-the happy-go-lucky defenseman who can make friends with anyone. But the last time I let someone in, it ended with a bruise I'm still healing from. So yeah, I told myself to keep things simple...until she showed up. She's standoffish, always keeping me at arm's length with this hard look that says, "Stay away." And yet, I catch glimpses of something softer, something she's trying so hard to hide. The more she pushes me away, the more I want to know her, to show her she doesn't have to stay guarded forever. Maybe that's a risk worth taking...if only she'd give me the chance.

Naomi has spent years being very specific about why she hates Kai Mercer. He's been in her life since she was old enough to remember, her brother's best friend, the one who always knew exactly where to push, who looked at her like she was something he'd already figured out. When she was sixteen, he made sure she knew it. She never forgot. Now she's broke, unemployed, and out of options, which means she's living in his apartment. Kai is her brother's captain, his best friend, the person Easton trusts above everyone. He's kept his distance for ten years for reasons Naomi doesn't know and he's never planned to tell her. Forced into the same space, the same mornings, the same late nights, the hate starts to feel like something else. Not softer...just different. The kind of different that's harder to ignore than anger ever was. She still hasn't forgiven him for what he did. He's never stopped carrying why he did it. Some things were always going to end up here. Warning: May contain profanity and sexual content.

"Why is it that whenever I try to get closer to you, you always shy away from me?" Aiden asks, hurt dripping from his voice I look at him and instantly i'm filled with regret and fear. "You wouldn't understand Aiden." I say pleading with him "Try me," He challenges. "Listen," I pause. "I need you to understand that when I push you away, it's because it's the only thing I know how to do anymore." He opened his mouth to say something but she stopped him, holding her palm up like a white flag. "You need to understand that everyone else has left and my problem," I say raising my voice. "My problem is that I'm scared," "I'm scared of getting too attached to someone, until eventually, that someone has the power to control me. To end my world when they feel like it." Aidens eyes bore into mine but he doesn't say anything. "Are you attached?" He asks. I glance away and then back at him nodding "With you? Too much." I say as a tear rolls down my left cheek "I'm scared that you are going to leave." I whisper as Aiden wraps his arms around me. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••• A grumpy figure skater and a golden retriever Hockey Captain.
