My Hockey Alpha

Me? Why me?

Why would the star hockey player, every girl’s dream guy, the adonis Enzo Rivers, want to be with me?

My mind flashed back to our one night stand… I could almost still feel his hands on my body, and when he brushed my hair out of my face right now, my body shivered at his touch. He had been so gentle and loving when we had sex. Was he like that with all of the girls, or was it an act?

It had to be an act. An alarm was going off inside of me, saying “Don’t trust this playboy.” After years of being unable to find love, I couldn’t believe that his feelings could be genuine. My first love had been similar — the star quarterback of my high school — and look how that had turned out.

Never again.

“Listen, you got what you wanted,” I said, pulling away. “We slept together once. Don’t try to make me think that you, of all people, would actually want me again. Who put you up to this, huh? Lisa?”

Enzo frowned and took a step backward.

“No one put me up to this,” he said softly. “When we had sex, something was… different. Not at all like all of my other one night stands. I want to try it again and see what happens.”

“Oh, so I’m just an experiment to you,” I snapped. “A test to see if the Great Enzo Rivers has the capacity for feelings.”

“No, it’s not like th-”

“If it helps any, I only got with you out of impulse,” I said, somewhat surprised by the venom in my voice. “I was having a bad night, and had just been cheated on. I would never sleep with a player like you under any other circumstances. Besides, I’m not willing to let whatever tricks you’re trying to play on me get in the way of my studies.”
