"I thought you left," Ivy said softly. "I was waiting," Ryan replied. "You're getting soaked." "I don't care." "Why are you still here?" "Because if I leave now... I'll regret it." "...Ryan." "Ivy." Silence. "Can I?" he asked quietly. She nodded slightly. His hand touched her cheek. "You're shaking." "I'm not." "You are." "I'm not cold." "I didn't say you were." A pause. "I think I'm falling for you," he said. "...You think?" "No," Ryan whispered. "I know." "You shouldn't say that." "But I do." "...This is a bad idea." "...We should stop." "I know." Neither of them moved. "Then what are we doing?" she whispered." Ryan looked at her. "I don't want to stop." ── ⋆⋅𖤓⋅⋆ ── Some girls get noticed. Some girls chase attention. Ivy Caldwell is neither. She came to North Ridge University to start over, to be invisible, and to focus on her studies. A new city, a new school, a fresh start-no distractions, no drama, no mistakes. Then she meets Ryan Carter. He's everything she's not: confident, reckless, the star forward of the hockey team, and the kind of guy every girl wants-but who never wants anyone in return. He's the bad boy of campus, the player everyone whispers about, the guy who thinks he's untouchable. But Ryan notices her. Not because she's loud or flashy, but because she's quiet. She doesn't swoon or fawn. She doesn't even know who he is. And suddenly, the guy who never chases anyone wants her more than he's ever wanted anyone. This is a story about first impressions, stolen glances, and a game of hearts where the stakes are high. Because sometimes, the coldest hearts can melt... when they're pushed Heart on Ice.

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐌𝐀𝐅𝐈𝐀 𝐃𝐎𝐍 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐍𝐀𝐍𝐍𝐘 *** "In today's lesson," Blaze breathed out just a centimetre from her ear, his large hand moving to her thigh and parting them, "we will be learning how to open up." Ellie's heart pounded against her ribcage. She waited with anticipation for what Blaze would do next, swallowing the saliva that was lodged in her throat. She never felt a rush the way she did whenever Blaze touched her, and he knew that as well as she did. "So, tell daddy," he gently ordered, a small smirk pulling at his lips at the whimper that fell from Ellie's swollen lips. "What is it that you really want, baby?" **** Ellie Mason was the type of girl that was quiet yet strong. Ambitious about anything she took part in. She never had to be told twice to do something but she would never go down without an argument first. But she was incredibly shy, closed-off from anyone and everyone, and had extremely low self-esteem. She never spoke to anyone unless she had to, she kept herself distant from many people, and she was easily frightened and/or intimidated by people. Her closest friend was her fraternal twin sister, Gemini, and no one else. Her life was simple until her father's dark past crept up on her and her family before his passing, where she has no choice but to meet Blaze Arrowood who, at first, wanted nothing to do with the girl. She was simply a temporary toy that he would soon discard once he was given what he wanted from the Mason family. But there was something about Ellie that made him intrigued. Why was this timid yet feisty girl stuck in his mind every night before he went to sleep and the second he woke up every morning? And why in the hell did he want to make her completely his? *** HIGHEST RANKS: #1 - selflove #1 - blaze #1 - control #1 - development #2 - insecure #2 - conflict
