She gasped upon seeing him after so many years. The world around her seemed to stop moving there he was, walking casually, hands shoved into his pockets, gazing at an item displayed in the mall window. Her thoughts were abruptly pulled back to reality by a tiny voice. "Mommy... I want ice cream..." Her daughter's voice sliced through the silence in her head, grounding her. "Yes... come, let's go," she said softly, taking her daughter's hand and walking towards the ice cream stall. "Which flavor do you want?" she asked gently. The little girl placed her tiny index finger thoughtfully on her chin, as though deciding something monumental. She studied the colorful array of ice cream flavors before pointing and saying, "Strawberry," with a little boxy smile lighting up her face. "Okay," her mother smiled and turned to the shopkeeper. "One strawberry, please." But her gaze involuntarily shifted back toward him. Now, he stood with another woman at the same place, their arms linked. He leaned in, whispering something to her. The unknown woman chuckled, lightly hitting his chest at whatever he had said. As if he sensed something, his eyes lifted searching, scanning until they landed on her.

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
