"The fewer people that know the truth the better. And if this all goes smoothly, you two will be able to get divorced before the hockey season ends."

 "I have the places where you both will sign," His eyes lifted and scanned both of us. "But only of course, if you both agree to this."

"I'll do it," I said honestly. 

Minnow sighed outwardly and bit her bottom lip.

"If you need more time-"

"No," she swallowed, staring at the thick packet in front of us.

"I feel like this goes without saying but...no sex. Of any kind. It only complicates things."

My cheeks flushed with heat, probably turning pink and Minnow choked.

"We won't..." I shook my head, clenching my jaw. Shivers crossed my back.

"You don't have to worry about that," Minnow said obviously. "Trust me."
*****************************************

Minnow Noel is known for two things: being a hot head and an amazing figure skater. Running from a dark relationship and a past version of herself, she ends up where her skating career all started.

Norwegian native Søren Skejeggstad's only focus in life is hockey. With no time for women or a personal life, his only goal is to become the top NHL all-star. But when a major problem arises, he's at risk of losing his dreams if he doesn't figure something out.

They were once friends in a past life but now things are cold as ice between them. Just the thought of Søren alone makes Minnow's blood run cold and he'd rather avoid her at all costs.

But now an opportunity presents itself and wait...can they get along for a little while or will they end up killing each other before their agreement is through?

I can only see half of his face, reflected in the mirror at the front of the bus, and part of that is obscured by the peak of the black company-branded cap he's wearing. But I can see enough to glean that there's a strong jaw covered in scruff. A wide mouth that looks like it would be prone to smiling. He's wearing glasses with trendy light tortoiseshell frames, and I can't quite discern the colour of his eyes from my position . . . but some weird intuition is telling me that they'll be hazel, and I wonder when my brain is going to catch up. Because I *know* him, don't I? I'm almost certain of it. And he seems to know me, too. Or at least he thinks he does. The way he's glancing over at me lets me in on that. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mirren Shepherd has *many* pet peeves. Top of the list, though? Staycations . . . And surprises. So when her girls' trip abroad is cancelled at the last minute and she finds herself roped into a minibus tour of Northern Scotland instead, she isn't remotely happy. And when she finds out who their guide is . . . It's yet another reason for her to dislike surprises. Because Owen Sullivan wasn't so much the one who got away . . . He was the one who just didn't return. And, after she finally got over him, she never expected to see him again. Mirren would prefer to leave the past in the past, but Owen is determined to try to right his wrongs. Can she trust him? Can she trust *herself*? Maybe, just maybe, this surprise - and staycation - won't be as bad as Mirren thinks . . . ~~~~~~~~~~~~

After a one-night stand flips a grumpy hockey goalie's bad luck, he pursues his team's new dental assistant to rebound his abysmal season. Trapped in a small town, my life has been planned, controlled, and boring. After my sister and I failed to keep our family's bakery afloat, I'm free to steer my life's ship...Except I don't know what I want and have no idea how to adult. A year of sleeping on my sister's boyfriend's couch and getting bitten by kids while cleaning their teeth is not living. When the anniversary of losing our bakery reminds me how far I haven't come since then, a wild, anonymous one-night stand is just the stress release I need. Putting him out of my mind is challenging, but my luck turns when I land a specialist dentist's assistant job. It's for a pro hockey team, where, unfortunately, my steamy one-night stand is their grumpy goalie, and the coach doesn't believe women can remain professional around his players. I don't have time for the giant manchild refusing to get his teeth cleaned or socialize with anyone, including his teammates. The team's solo win comes after our night together, convincing Connor I'm some lucky charm who can turn around his demoralizing slump. All I care about is getting settled on my own despite his sexist coach, but when he threatens to reveal our secret, I'm forced to prove superstitions are hocus-pocus nonsense. 18 + for explicit sexual content #1 sports, #1 spicy PREVIEW: full story is available on Radish: https://radishfiction.com/stories/31711
Mitchell's Power Play by BlueEyedSwede
49 parts Complete Mature
I had been second best all my life. But this time, when it comes to her, I'm not willing to accept defeat. I'll do whatever it takes to get her to choose me. *** Having a best friend that was wildly popular, and one of the best hockey players in the United American Hockey League, was both a curse and a blessing. On the plus side, I got to play hockey with my best friend, and there was never a shortage of beautiful girls. At least there wasn't until Nash decided to man up and tell his childhood friend that he'd always loved her. The bad part was that I usually ended up being second best. In my late teens and early twenties I hadn't cared that I wasn't picked in the first round of the draft, or that sponsors chose Nash ahead of me, or even if I ended up with a girl who didn't really want me for me. I made a nice living playing hockey. I had a few good friends and a nice place to live in the middle of Manhattan. Despite not being the best, I'd made most of my dreams come true and it was a far stretch from the lonely kid I'd been growing up in the rural Midwest. I was happy. I was content. Until her.... It's not like I didn't want what Nash had. I did. I do. Who doesn't want a happily ever after? It's just that I've never taken the risk and allowed a woman to see past my defenses before, to see the real me, with my baggage and all my insecurities... until now. As scary as that is in itself, what makes it complicated is that my new roommate, Jackson - who I offered my spare bedroom to a while back when he needed a place to stay - and Bryce - one of my friends and teammates- also seem to have an interest in her... the woman who has me questioning all my decisions. The thing is... I'm pretty sure I'm not willing to be a second choice this time around...

The touch of her lips on his body, light as a feather, was igniting his skin in its wake. Instead of feeling him up and down with her fingers, she did so with her tongue, which elicited shy gasps from Finn every single time. She kissed the side of his neck, leaving hickey after hickey, him gasping louder the harder she sucked. "I want to hear you beg, baby." She whispered in his ear before moving on to his torso, taking her time to kiss every single square centimeter of skin. - "No," she said, her eyes closed with pleasure, "you don't cum until I do." She lowered herself slowly, eliciting a long low groan from him before she started fucking him quickly and circling her clit at the same time. As she got closer, her walls tightened and he started breathing quicker and louder. "I'm close," he warned as if he was already riding the edge. She lifted herself once again, so only his head was inside, and continued pleasing herself. After a few moments, she began fucking him again. "I'm-," he warned and she gave him a few seconds. "Oh god," he moaned after a few strokes and she knew he was nearly done for. "Please-" she stopped again, her pauses getting shorter and her fingers moving faster. "Please!" He was lightheaded, the only thing he could think about was how incredibly close he was. "No," as if he had any control at all. - "Umm.. are you going to tie me up?" He asked in anticipation. "Oh, baby," sweetness dripping from her lips, "that's not how I roll. I want you to choose to do as I say the whole time because you'll like what happens at the end. If you don't, I stop," she smiled. "Simple as that." - A sex-driven relationship between two university students. A semi-psychological look into the inner monologue of two people and their own completely different life experiences, while following the bloom of their relationship and sexual exploration. 51,000 words. #1 in Feminist (June 2023) #4 in Denmark (March 2023) #5 in Begging (October 2022)

FREE STORY. PAID BONUS CHAPTERS. DANGEROUS. BEAUTIFUL. SURREAL. Those were the words Jodie Henning used to describe the man she fell in love with, the first time she met him. HAZEL. BLACK. CRIMSON. Those were the colors she associated with his bright eyes, his long dark waves of hair and the scars on his back and upper chest. GUTTURAL. PRIMAL. SELFLESS. Those were the words she used to describe her time in bed with him, a time that edged itself into her memory, a time she continued to dream about for days and months afterwards. PAIN. HURT. RED. Those were everything she felt on his wedding day; throat closing, on the verge of tears, overwhelming sadness and pure pain. A SADDENING GLIMPSE OF HOPE That was what she felt when he came up behind her and whispered Shakespearean promises into her yearning ear. ALEXANDER MATEO HIDALGO III also known as Alex Clayton, number 77, left forward for the Seattle Kraken. But that changed since he got married, he barely shows up for shows or red carpets.
