He's got two minutes in the box-and he's using every second to win her over. When she lands her dream job as the San Jose Sharks' new social media manager, she expects early mornings, late nights, and maybe a few awkward run-ins with players. What she doesn't expect? William Eklund, golden boy forward with a jawline sharp enough to cut through playoff tension, who suddenly can't seem to stay out of the penalty box. At first, it's coincidence. A tripping call here, a roughing penalty there. But soon, it's clear: Will's racking up minutes on purpose-and he's using every chance to flirt with her through the glass. He's all charm, cheeky grins, and broken-English pickup lines. She's all rules, boundaries, and trying not to get fired. But when feelings start to blur with content strategy, and TikToks turn into real moments, one thing becomes obvious: She's so off-limits. And he's so into her.

You showed up to the Tank in your favorite Sharks jersey, expecting nothing more than a good view and maybe an overtime win. But during warm-ups, William Eklund skates by, eyes locking with yours through the glass-and he doesn't look away. He slows, smirks, and taps his stick right in front of you, like it's a challenge. The air crackles. Every game after, he finds you. A look here, a smirk there-his gaze lingering like a secret. You weren't planning on becoming his favorite distraction, but now? He's making it very clear he wants to be yours, too.

Y/N never expected a spilled drink on hockey star William Eklund to spark a rivalry, but from that moment on, their lives became tangled in teasing banter and undeniable tension. William, confident and charismatic, wasn't one to let things slide-and Y/N wasn't one to back down. Their constant back-and-forth soon became a regular occurrence. Everything changes when William unexpectedly offers her a job as his personal assistant. Thrown into his fast-paced world of games, travel, and media chaos, Y/N starts to see another side of him-one that's driven, thoughtful, and far more complicated than she imagined. As they grow closer, the line between enemies and something more begins to blur. What started with sarcasm and rivalry slowly transforms into trust, connection, and unexpected romance. By the time the season hits its peak, Y/N isn't just the girl who challenged him-she's the one he can't imagine life without. *This story is a work of fiction.
