Heated Face-Off

With graduation looming, I'm forced to take an extra credit athletic course in hockey-a sport I despise. The ice, the cold, and the game itself are everything I detest. But when a bone-shattering shove on the ice threatens to fracture my knee, I must confront my fears and learn to play.In a shocking revelation, I discovered that it was Devon who had shoved me hard on the ice.Devon Black.A demon. A force to be reckoned with, notorious for his bullying tactics on and off the ice. I hate Devon with every fiber of my being, yet beneath the surface of my hatred lies an undeniable and confusing attraction. It's as if the very essence of him is both repulsive and magnetic, drawing me in against my will. Graduation approaches and the choices we make will determine our fate-whether bitter separation or a love that transcends the icy battleground we call home. Can Devon and I find a way to bridge the divide, or will life's forces tear us apart?Copyright (c) 2023 J.M. Jackie
