I can't keep the smile off my face as I take my seat on the plane. I slide my bag under the seat and lean back. I close my eyes and let a blissful smile grace my face. He said I wouldn't be able to run. As if. I'm vaguely aware of someone taking the seat next to mine, but I pay no attention to said person. "So where we headed?" I choke on my own spit as my eyes fly open and whirl around to face the owner of the familiar voice. His eyes are hidden behind those damn sunglasses and a rather smug smile graces his face. I continue choking and he does nothing other than flip through a magazine. That smug smile never leaving his face. "You still haven't answered the question." "To hell." I finally manage to choke out. "Awesome," He flips a page in the magazine, "It's about time I returned home. You know, bodies to burn, lost souls to torture, I've missed it. It'll be fun." *** Nicolette Moore.

Best friends brother trope Quinn Hughes x Fem OC Going to be under edits soon

You grew up with Luke Hughes - backyard hockey games, late-night study sessions, stolen glances that turned into something real long before either of you were ready for the world to see it. Now, years later, you're one of the most recognizable faces on social media. A brand, a name, an empire. Millions of followers know your routines, your travels, your red carpet moments - but not the boy who's been beside you through it all. Because Luke Hughes isn't just your childhood best friend anymore. He's your secret. Your high school sweetheart. Your fiancé. He's also one of the NHL's brightest stars - and keeping your love out of the spotlight is getting harder every day. Especially when your life revolves around the sport that links you both. You post about hockey. You talk about being a "WAG." You attend Devils games and road trips under the guise of "content creation." But no one - not the fans, not the tabloids, not even your management - knows the truth. When you're invited to compete on Dancing With the Stars, one fateful camera pan threatens to change everything. Suddenly, the secret you've guarded for years might finally see the light - and for the first time, the two of you will have to decide what's worth protecting more: your privacy, or your love.

You were supposed to be off-limits. The Hughes brothers' little sister. Luke's twin. A no-go zone from the moment you showed up at the lake house in nothing but an old Ducks jersey. But Trevor Zegras has never been good at following rules. Not when it comes to you. What starts as teasing glances and shared midnight stares turns into tension so thick it nearly snaps. Late-night whispers. Fingers brushing in secret. Hidden kisses behind slammed doors. It was never meant to go this far-not with your brothers in the next room. Not when one wrong move could blow everything up. But then he dances with you at a Zach Bryan concert. In front of everyone. And suddenly... you're not hiding anymore. This is a love story with teeth-messy, electric, reckless. It's flannel on sunburnt skin. It's stolen moments and bare thighs on boat decks. It's love that doesn't ask permission. And now that he has you, Trevor Zegras isn't letting go.
