Declan OâHara knew it was wrongâso deeply, utterly wrongâthat the sight of his sonâs best friend could leave him breathless.
Yet it did. His mind, sharp and disciplined, tried to keep his heart in check, but it was a losing battle.
A few days ago, heâd been smoking a cigarette, staring out of the window of his study, when your car rolled up the driveway of The Priory.
âLove of my life!â Caitlin had screamed at the top of her lungs as she dashed out of the house with Taggie trailing behind her. âFinally!â
The youngest daughter had nearly smothered you in an enthusiastic embrace before you even had a chance to step out of the car. And when it was Taggieâs turn, you saw Patrick appear in the doorframe, probably alerted by the noise.Â
âNo one in this family greets me that affectionately,â Patrick remarked, his tone dry but his eyes kind. âBut alright, it is good to see you.â
It was more than good to see you. Declan had been hoping, against reason, against everything he knew was sensible, that youâd stop by his study to say hello. Even though he also knew he should avoid you, that the distance between you two should remain not just respectful but absolute.
Because you had power over him. And the worst thing was, you didnât even realize how much.
Heâd been halfway through his cigarette, his thoughts spiraling between reason and foolishness, when you knocked on the door.
âMr. OâHara? Good morning,â you said softly. âThank you for letting me take advantage of your hospitality.â
âDeclan,â he corrected instantly, almost in reflex. You tilted your head.
âItâs nothing of the sort. Youâre always welcome here,â he added, far too quickly for his liking.
âEven so, thank you. Itâs a few days, after all. I hope I wonât be any trouble.â
âAbsolutely not.â
But you were. Oh, you were. Trouble in every way that mattered. Your laughter was too infectious, your voice too sweet, your kindness too disarming. You tested Declanâs limits in ways he hadnât thought possible.
He clenched his fists, bit the inside of his cheek to keep from staring too long.
Heâd watched as his daughters adored you. And Declan understood. What he couldnât understand, not for the life of him, was how Patrick could feel nothing more than friendship toward you.
If Declan were younger. If he werenât married.Â
He wouldnât hesitate. Not for a single, fleeting moment.
New Yearâs Eve came and it was unbearable.
He had almost walked straight into you in the darkened hallway, just as you were leaving the bathroom.
âCaitlin, the lip gloss was inâOh, sorry,â you murmured, your words rushed as your hand instinctively reached out to steady yourself.
It landed on his chest.
Your touch was light, but it branded him like fire. Then you pulled your hand away.
Please. Touch me again.
He studied you, his gaze raking over you before he could stop himself. The little black dress you wore was devastating. It made his chest tighten almost painfully.
âYou look lovely,â he said, his voice lower than heâd intended. He wanted to say more, but the words stuck in his throat.
You blinked at him, caught off guard, but before you could respond, before you could even blush, Caitlinâs voice rang out from the other room.
âHey! Are we finishing this makeup before midnight or not?â
Declan exhaled sharply as you turned and hurried toward Caitlinâs voice. He stood there for a long moment, staring at the empty hallway, his heart thundering in his chest.
He knew he was a fool. Heâd known it for days, for weeks, maybe even longer, ever since Patrick first introduced you. But he didnât realize how far gone he was until later that night, when he failed to notice the grand entrance of Maud on a camel.
Heâd been too busy watching you, your face lit with joy and surprise.
When Declan saw your name on the little place card beside his at the dinner table, he didnât know whether to laugh or cry.
You placed a hand on the chair to his right, frowning slightly as you glanced at him.
âShouldnât I be switching places with your wife?â you asked, your tone laced with genuine uncertainty.
The unfortunate choice of words did not escape Monica Baddingam, who let out an elegant little laugh.
âIâm sure the lady of the house wouldnât object,â she murmured, her sharp eyes flicking toward Maud, who was currently engrossed in some weird performance of charm for Rupert.
âDo you want to sit next to me?â Declan asked simply, his voice a whisper, as you slid into the seat assigned to you, your cheeks faintly flushed.
âI donât mind,â you said in an almost shy manner, still thinking about your words.
âThatâs already more than enough, darling,â he replied, his lips curving into a wry smile.
He couldnât stop his gaze from drifting to Maud, who was laughing too brightly at something Rupert had said. A flash of irritation crossed his mind, but it didnât last. Instead, he turned to exchange a few words with Monica, all while aware of the way you fidgeted slightly in your chair, smoothing the fabric of your dress.
âWhereâs Patrick?â Declan asked quietly after a moment, tapping you on the hand with his finger, voice pitched just for you. âHeâs abandoned you to the mercy of old bores.â
âHeâs with the gentlemen club,â you replied with a hint of sarcasm, eyes landing on his son across the room. âAnd youâre not an old bore.â
Declan raised a brow and looked pointedly to the side, his expression amused. The gesture made you laugh, an honest, unguarded sound that you stifled behind your hand.
He wanted you by his side the entire night.
You wanted a kiss at midnight. But that was impossible. Instead, you settled for Taggie and Caitlin pecking you on both cheeks as the clock struck twelve.
The one person who couldnât complain was, of course, Patrick.
âWill you hate me if I abandon you?â the younger OâHara asked, his expression apologetic. âI know we were supposed to get smashed together, butâŠâ
âCelestial light?â you guessed, already knowing the answer.
âCelestial light,â he confirmed with a resigned sigh.
âIâll manage,â you said with a small smile. âThat nice lady already offered to adopt me for the night.â You motioned discreetly in Lizzieâs direction.Â
âPerfect,â Patrick replied with mock relief, giving you a wink before he disappeared into the crowd.
You ended up dancing with Lizzie for a good portion of the night. You couldnât complainâshe was delightful, the hours slipped by easily.
And Declan couldnât tear his eyes away from you. Like a man in trance.
It wasnât the way you moved on the dance floor, though that was mesmerizing enough. It was the way you seemed to glow.
Maud had vanished hours ago, and for once, Declan didnât care where sheâd gone. It didnât matter.Â
He saw his chance when you excused yourself, telling Lizzie that you needed a break as you headed to the kitchen.
Declan didnât think; his body moved before his mind could catch up, his legs carrying him after you like they had a will of their own.
You sat on a stool in the otherwise empty space, a small grimace on your face as you slipped off your heels. The music from the main room thudded faintly even here, a constant pulse in the background. You glanced around for something to drink, ideally champagne or something much stronger, but instead, your gaze collided with Declanâs as he stood in the doorway.
âAre you okay?â he asked, his voice low and almost tender.
âSure,â you replied with a small laugh, lowering your eyes. âLizzie has much more vigor than I do, apparently.â
âYou two dominated the dance floor,â he observed, a crooked smile tugging at his lips.
He stepped closer, leaning against the counter opposite you, his eyes steady and focused on you.
âWell, I had to find some way to entertain myself,â you said with a dramatic sigh. âMy so-called friend decided on other pursuits. As it turns out, once again, you have to trust girls to have your back.â
âMen might be disappointed back there,â he replied lightly, though his gaze didnât waver. âYou did not grace even one with a dance.â
âMen donât exactly fall at my feet,â you teased, chuckling as you waved him off.
âThey should,â he said softly.
The words hung in the air, simple and unadorned.
I would, he thought, though he dared not say it aloud.
The silence stretched, heavy and charged. You held your breath, unsure of how to respond to what was clearly meant as a compliment.
From your best friendâs father. The last person who should ever say something like that to you.
The opening notes of Take My Breath Away by Berlin drifted in from the other room.
Oh, perfect. Just perfect.
âHow bad are your feet hurting?â Declan asked quietly, his gaze flicking briefly to the shoes discarded at your side before returning to your face.
âOh, Iâm not going back out there,â you muttered, leaning back against the wall. âThese heels have murdered me.â
âIâm not asking you to go back out,â he said gently, extending his hand toward you. âWe could dance here.â
You blinked at him, staring at his outstretched hand, weighing the offer.
Dancing with Declan OâHara was one thing.
Dancing with Declan OâHara, alone, in a quiet kitchen to a slow song, was something entirely different. Intimate. And a bit scandalous.
But of course, you took his hand.
How could you not?
You stood, placing your fingers lightly in his. He didnât let go; instead, his other hand found its way to your waist, while yours rested tentatively on his shoulder. His touch was firm but gentle, his palm warm through the fabric of your dress.
The eye contact was deadly. His gaze locked onto yours with an intensity that sent your pulse racing. Your breath hitched, lodging somewhere in your throat.
He began to sway, guiding you easily in time with the music. You followed, letting him lead, your movements in sync as if youâd done this a hundred times before.
There was no midnight kiss for you this year. Instead, there was a dance at two in the morning.
A dance that didnât promise anything good. And yet, somehow, it promised all the right things.

died in your arms | declan o'hara x fem!reader
Summary: It must have been something Declan said. Or done. Maybe both. You'll be dying inside, but at least in his arms.
Word count: 1.3k
Disclaimer: English isn't my first language!
Falling for your boss was a very, very dangerous thing.
Especially when he was older. Married. With a family.
Especially when he had those sad, beautiful eyes.
You could lie to yourself, pretend his gaze lingered on you in a way that was different. Special. Not like you were some naĂŻve girl whoâd drop everything for him.
You would, of course.
It was foolish. But foolishness had a way of compelling you. Thatâs how you found yourself standing outside his house late at night, the cold seeping into your bones. The sound of your restless shifting on the wooden steps could be heard from a mile away.
Taggieâs voice had been trembling when she called. âCan you come? Please?â sheâd said, words rushed, and just like that, you were here.
You raised your hand to knock again when the door creaked open. The faint glow of a lamp spilled out, and your chest tightened.
The day had already been chaotic. Declan had swept through the office like a storm. Heâd tossed a curt, âIâm taking leave. You should too,â over his shoulder as he walked out. Before you could respond, Tony had strutted in, telling you that Mr. OâHaraâs throwing one of his tantrums again.
Heâll cool off eventually.
âIâm worried about him,â Taggie sighed when she let you in, her words tumbling over each other. âAnd MomâŠâ She hesitated, eyes darting away as if she could evade her own thoughts. âMom doesnât care.â
âHey, Tag,â you said gently, wrapping her in a hug she didnât ask for but desperately needed. âHow bad is it?â
âHe locked himself in the study to watch that stupid interview with James...âÂ
You crouched to scratch behind Gertrudeâs ears.Â
âInteresting form of punishment,â youâd tried to joke, but the attempt fell flat against the worry etched into her face.
Taggieâs eyes were glassy with unshed tears. âIâm scared this time. Somethingâs wrong.â
Something was always wrong. Maud cheated. Maud left. Maud returned. Declan picked up the pieces, only to watch her break him again. It was a cycle youâd seen too many times, and yet here you were, stepping into its center.
âItâll be fine,â you lied, the words tasting hollow. âIâll try to fix it.â
âHeâll listen to you,â Taggie said, her voice almost inaudible. âYouâre the only one he listens to.â
And now, as you stood in the threshold of the room, that burden of responsibility weighed heavy on your chest. The study was suffocating. Heavy curtains cloaked the windows, and the faint scent of whiskey hung in the air. Declan lay sprawled on the worn leather couch, his shirt half-unbuttoned.Â
The flicker of the television bathed his face in pale light. James Verekerâs smug expression visible on the screen, Thatcherâs practiced responses echoing faintly. That was before you came closer and turned it off.
Declanâs bleary eyes slowly turned toward you, the weight of his gaze like a physical touch. He blinked once, twice, as though trying to place you in the haze of his mind.
âTurn it back on,â he rasped, his voice a whisper that scraped against the stillness.
âNo chance,â you replied, moving to pull a chair closer to him. âWhat are you doing to yourself? I wouldnât let my worst enemy watch that shit, let alone you. Enjoying the torture?â
âTorturing myself has always been my specialty,â he muttered. A bitter smile graced his lips, but his eyes remained dark. âIâm an expert, Iâm-â
âYouâre drunk,â you observed, your voice firm but soft.
He lifted his glass, swirling the amber liquid with exaggerated care. âAnd?â he asked, his tone teetering between defiance and despair. âWill you take this from me too, love?â
âI wouldnât dare,â you said, lips twitching.
He laughed, short and hollow, shaking his head. It was the laugh of a man whoâd stopped expecting anything good.
âWhy are you here?â he asked, voice low, almost a whisper.
âTaggie called me,â you said simply. âSheâs worried about you. And so am I. This interview meant so much to you. And when you left, I could see that...â You hesitated, the words heavy in your throat. âDeclan, are you alright?â
His only response was to push himself to his feet. His movements were unsteady, restless, as though he couldnât bear the weight of standing still. He paced the room with the agitation of a caged animal, his fingers running through his hair, tugging at the strands as if trying to wake himself.
âLeave,â he said finally, his back to you. His voice cracked, fragile. âPlease. Just leave. This is torture. Not the interview. You.â
Your breath caught in your throat, but you stayed seated, your gaze steady. âIâll leave when I know youâre okay,â you said gently. âRight now, youâre just rambling.â
He turned to you then, his expression unreadable, his eyes clouded with something that might have been pain or might have been fear. âDo you want to hear something funny?â he asked, his voice hollow, devoid of humor. âTony blackmailed me with photos of Maud. You know the kind. Documenting the affair.â
Your throat went dry. You had no idea.
âMy hands are tied because of my wifeâs betrayal. And oh, how beautifully itâs been photographed,â he laughed bitterly, the sound cutting through the room like a shard of glass. He took another sip of whiskey, the amber liquid trembling slightly in the glass.
âIâm so sorry, Iââ
âOf course youâre sorry. With your fucking compassion and damned understanding,â Declan said, his words tumbling out in one breath, raw and jagged. Then, as if the weight of everything became too much, he sank to his knees by the chair where you sat, his presence overwhelming in the confined space. âMaybe thatâs why Iâve sinned in my thoughts. Because youâre kind to me.â
Your head was spinning, the walls of the room seeming to close in around you. You looked down at him, the tears that welled in your eyes blurring the edges of his face.
âDeclanââ you whispered, your voice unsteady, the name barely making it past your lips.
âDo you think if someone took a photo of me when I look at you,â he began, his voice low and shaking, âtheyâd have proof of an affair? Because I have so, so many thoughts. And I think you can see them. If you look close enough.â
His fingers brushed your jaw, a touch so soft it felt like it might shatter you. You couldnât move, couldnât speak. Your heart raced, the beat of it a deafening drum in your chest.
âYou wonât remember this tomorrow,â you whispered, barely able to get the words out. âYouâre drunk. Youâre married.â
âAnd youâre good to me. Even though youâre not mine, I feel like I have you, like youâre with me, like youâre for me.â
Then he kissed you. His lips were warm and tasted of whiskey, salt, and something achingly desperate. The kiss was messy, filled with everything he couldnât say.
And yet you couldnât tell if he truly meant it. In the way you wanted him to mean it.
Thatâs why you pushed him away.
âWe canât. Maudââ
âMaud doesnât give a shit. She has been unfaithful, love. From the very beginning.â His voice cracked, the admission heavy in the air between you.
âSo you want to make it even?â you asked, the words sharp despite the tears sliding down your cheeks.
He looked like youâd struck him, his eyes wide, the pain in them unmistakable.
âI donât want to be some twisted sense of comfort and justice to you, Declan,â you said, standing quickly, the chair scraping against the floor. The movement felt like the only way to keep from breaking entirely. âThis means more to me than it does to you. Itâs not fair.â
âIâm sorry,â he choked out, rising unsteadily to his feet. His face was pale, his voice thick with emotion. âMy sweet girl, Iâm so, so sorry.â
When his hand reached up to wipe the tears from your face, you froze. His touch was tender, almost reverent, and it felt like it might undo you entirely.
At that moment, you knew.
You wouldnât be able to say no to him, no matter what you were to him.
Consolation, revenge, or love.
It didnât matter, as long as you were something to Declan OâHara.

And now, as you stood in the threshold of the room, that burden of responsibility weighed heavy on your chest. The study was suffocating. Heavy curtains cloaked the windows, and the faint scent of whiskey hung in the air. Declan lay sprawled on the worn leather couch, his shirt half-unbuttoned.Â
The flicker of the television bathed his face in pale light. James Verekerâs smug expression visible on the screen, Thatcherâs practiced responses echoing faintly. That was before you came closer and turned it off.
Declanâs bleary eyes slowly turned toward you, the weight of his gaze like a physical touch. He blinked once, twice, as though trying to place you in the haze of his mind.
âTurn it back on,â he rasped, his voice a whisper that scraped against the stillness.
âNo chance,â you replied, moving to pull a chair closer to him. âWhat are you doing to yourself? I wouldnât let my worst enemy watch that shit, let alone you. Enjoying the torture?â
âTorturing myself has always been my specialty,â he muttered. A bitter smile graced his lips, but his eyes remained dark. âIâm an expert, Iâm-â
âYouâre drunk,â you observed, your voice firm but soft.
He lifted his glass, swirling the amber liquid with exaggerated care. âAnd?â he asked, his tone teetering between defiance and despair. âWill you take this from me too, love?â
âI wouldnât dare,â you said, lips twitching.
He laughed, short and hollow, shaking his head. It was the laugh of a man whoâd stopped expecting anything good.
âWhy are you here?â he asked, voice low, almost a whisper.
âTaggie called me,â you said simply. âSheâs worried about you. And so am I. This interview meant so much to you. And when you left, I could see that...â You hesitated, the words heavy in your throat. âDeclan, are you alright?â
His only response was to push himself to his feet. His movements were unsteady, restless, as though he couldnât bear the weight of standing still. He paced the room with the agitation of a caged animal, his fingers running through his hair, tugging at the strands as if trying to wake himself.
âLeave,â he said finally, his back to you. His voice cracked, fragile. âPlease. Just leave. This is torture. Not the interview. You.â
Your breath caught in your throat, but you stayed seated, your gaze steady. âIâll leave when I know youâre okay,â you said gently. âRight now, youâre just rambling.â
He turned to you then, his expression unreadable, his eyes clouded with something that might have been pain or might have been fear. âDo you want to hear something funny?â he asked, his voice hollow, devoid of humor. âTony blackmailed me with photos of Maud. You know the kind. Documenting the affair.â
Your throat went dry. You had no idea.
âMy hands are tied because of my wifeâs betrayal. And oh, how beautifully itâs been photographed,â he laughed bitterly, the sound cutting through the room like a shard of glass. He took another sip of whiskey, the amber liquid trembling slightly in the glass.
âIâm so sorry, Iââ
âOf course youâre sorry. With your fucking compassion and damned understanding,â Declan said, his words tumbling out in one breath, raw and jagged. Then, as if the weight of everything became too much, he sank to his knees by the chair where you sat, his presence overwhelming in the confined space. âMaybe thatâs why Iâve sinned in my thoughts. Because youâre kind to me.â
Your head was spinning, the walls of the room seeming to close in around you. You looked down at him, the tears that welled in your eyes blurring the edges of his face.
âDeclanââ you whispered, your voice unsteady, the name barely making it past your lips.
âDo you think if someone took a photo of me when I look at you,â he began, his voice low and shaking, âtheyâd have proof of an affair? Because I have so, so many thoughts. And I think you can see them. If you look close enough.â
His fingers brushed your jaw, a touch so soft it felt like it might shatter you. You couldnât move, couldnât speak. Your heart raced, the beat of it a deafening drum in your chest.
âYou wonât remember this tomorrow,â you whispered, barely able to get the words out. âYouâre drunk. Youâre married.â
âAnd youâre good to me. Even though youâre not mine, I feel like I have you, like youâre with me, like youâre for me.â
Then he kissed you. His lips were warm and tasted of whiskey, salt, and something achingly desperate. The kiss was messy, filled with everything he couldnât say.
And yet you couldnât tell if he truly meant it. In the way you wanted him to mean it.
Thatâs why you pushed him away.
âWe canât. Maudââ
âMaud doesnât give a shit. She has been unfaithful, love. From the very beginning.â His voice cracked, the admission heavy in the air between you.
âSo you want to make it even?â you asked, the words sharp despite the tears sliding down your cheeks.
He looked like youâd struck him, his eyes wide, the pain in them unmistakable.
âI donât want to be some twisted sense of comfort and justice to you, Declan,â you said, standing quickly, the chair scraping against the floor. The movement felt like the only way to keep from breaking entirely. âThis means more to me than it does to you. Itâs not fair.â
âIâm sorry,â he choked out, rising unsteadily to his feet. His face was pale, his voice thick with emotion. âMy sweet girl, Iâm so, so sorry.â
When his hand reached up to wipe the tears from your face, you froze. His touch was tender, almost reverent, and it felt like it might undo you entirely.
At that moment, you knew.
You wouldnât be able to say no to him, no matter what you were to him.
Consolation, revenge, or love.
It didnât matter, as long as you were something to Declan OâHara.

I've had a small scenario in my head for modern!cregan for a while now, but its pretty much only a draft𫹠So reader is an "high-end" escort, maybe with hard limits regarding her services or maybe it varies with her customers, pretty much up to you. And Cregan is a respected and well known businessman, in what line of business well that I dont know đ But basically its all very Pretty Woman, he needs a date for appearances/some company to boring events and reader comes highly recommended. He's maybe strictly transactional with their agreement, compensation for company but nothing physical and reader respects that. Though both find each other attractive and their personalities clash in a good way so things might get a little steamy along the way đ In my mind Cregan is early to mid 30s and reader late 20s, but thats all up to you obciously đ€ Cregan might also have Rickon in this scenario or he might not, I couldn't decide đ
dear anon, now that's a request!
hope the fic will meet at least some of your expectations đ„° this was also my first attempt at writing a teeny tiny explicit scene, so i apologize in advance for its quality đđ
oh, pretty woman

oh, pretty woman - modern!cregan stark x fem!reader
Summary: It was supposed to be a business deal. Pretty woman's company in exchange for Cregan Stark's money. No feelings, no fooling around. But it's always easier said than done.
Disclaimer: English isn't my first language!
Word count: 2.5k
Contains brief smut at the end!
Cregan Stark had never sealed a business deal at the Three-Eyed Raven club before, but there was a first time for everything.Â
The club wasnât his usual sceneâtoo much noise, and too many people who had forgotten what self-restraint looked like. Yet here he sat, tucked away in a dimly lit corner of the VIP lounge, watching the chaos below as neon lights flickered through the darkness, casting strange, shifting colors across his face.
Cregan pressed a cold glass of whiskey against his forehead, the chill offering a bit of a relief from the headache brewing inside him. He glanced at his watch. She was ten minutes late. And he hated being kept waiting.
They hadnât met yet, hadnât even exchanged a word. It wouldnât matter if he just got up and left. But just as the thought crossed his mind, the unmistakable sound of heels clicking against the floor drew his attention. He sighed, already knowing it was too late to back out, and turned his head.
There was a woman. A little younger than him. A very pretty woman.
A martini balanced in one hand, a small purse hanging effortlessly from the other. She wore a fitted leather skirt that stopped teasingly at mid-thigh. For a second, Creganâs gaze dipped to her legs, his eyes betraying him. He quickly looked away, cursing himself. Focus, Stark. This is business.
She reached the table and paused, giving him a slow once-over.Â
âMr. Stark?â she asked, her voice velvety smooth.
Cregan nodded, shifting slightly in his seat.
âThat's me,â he said, already standing up to greet her, but she waved him off dismissively and sank into the chair opposite him.
â(Y/N). Hi,â she said, taking a sip of her drink. Bold lipstick marked the glass, obviously. âInteresting. Youâre not that old.â
He raised an eyebrow at that. So this was how the meeting would go.
âExcuse me?â
âMost of the men I work for are... older,â she said with a shrug. âOverworked grandpas, rich, and eager to brag. You're not what I expected.â
âI'm just overworked," he replied, rubbing his temples and resting his elbows on the table. âAnd that's why I need your help.â
She gave him a mischievous smile. âHandsome men like you usually donât need help.â
Cregan felt a flicker of heat rise to his cheeks and cursed himself for the second time this evening. He cleared his throat awkwardly, desperate to steer the conversation back on track.
âAs I said, I donât have much time. Or the skills, for that matter, to keep long-term relationships.â
âSkills can be developed,â she teased, her eyes twinkling as she tossed him a playful wink.
This was exactly what Cregan feared.
âCan we just focus on the agreement, please?â His tone bordered on pleading.
âOf course, Mr. Stark.â She chuckled softly, clearly entertained by his discomfort. âBut out of pure curiosity⊠Who gave you my name?â
He tapped his whiskey glass a few times, weighing whether or not to answer. Finally, he said, âDaemon Targaryen.â
She let out a low whistle. âDaemon, huh? Havenât heard that name in a while.He was⊠something. But heâs married to Miss Driftmark now, so I canât really talk shit.â
Cregan sighed, reached into his jacket pocket and pulled out a neatly folded piece of paper.Â
âThis is my offer,â he said simply, pushing the check forward.
Her eyes widened as she caught sight of the numbers. She blinked, stunned for a moment before returning her gaze to him.
âMan, what exactly do you do again?â
âI own a few ski resorts up in the North.â
She raised an eyebrow, a smile creeping back onto her lips. âSo you rip those pretentious wealthy people off? I like it.â
(Y/N) looked at the price again and wet her lips.
âBut just so weâre clear. Thatâs a lot. And you shouldnât expect me to sleep with you just because you paid meâŠâ
âGods, no, I would never assume that you owe me sex, donât worry,â Cregan rushed with an explanation. âThe arrangement is simple. Iâll send you a list of social events. Business dinners, banquets, and other stupid ceremonies. Youâll accompany me, purely for the presentation aspect. Your payment is covered by the check, but Iâll handle everything else. Dresses, shoes, jewelry. Whatever you need. You name it, and youâll have it. I also have a driver on standby.â
âSounds really good. Exactly what I have an experience in.â
âOne last thing,â he added, his voice taking on a more formal edge. âThis is strictly professional. We meet at events, and thatâs it. No personal involvement. Nothing outside of whatâs required.â
She gave him a slow, approving nod. âPerfect. I can work with that.â She extended her hand across the table. âItâs a deal.â
He reached out, his grip firm, sealing the agreement with a brief shake.
âItâs a deal,â he repeated, though something told him that managing this relationship would be anything but simple.
Our businessman had seen his fair share of beautiful women, but (Y/N) seemed to outshine them all. At every event with glittering chandeliers and whispered secrets, she was the one who caught all the attention.
And Cregan Stark knew, deep in his gut, that bringing her along was his smartest decision.Â
She was his complete opposite, and perhaps that was why the invitations kept flooding in.Â
If only she were a bit kinder to him.
âCregan Stark is famous for his work ethic, which, in less than two years, has made him one of the top innovators in the field,â she read aloud, voice dripping with mock seriousness as she flipped through a glossy brochure.
They were on the way to the 'Entrepreneur of the Year' award ceremony, a fancy night that Cregan classified as one of the other stupid ceremonies. Unfortunately he had been nominated, so here they were.
(Y/N) was dressed in a jaw-dropping red gown that clung perfectly to her curves, hair styled into an elegant updo that left her neck bare, save for the diamonds glittering along her collarbone.
âIf he wants to be respected in this harsh world, he needs to smile more,â she mused, still scanning the brochure with a smirk.
âThatâs definitely not in there,â Cregan grumbled, adjusting his tie for the third time.
âIt is. In big letters. Right there. Mr. Stark, take the stick out of your grumpy ass,â she teased, leaning in with a wicked glint in her eye.Â
âLadies shouldnât talk like that.â
âIs that why you never say anything interesting?â she quipped.
He rolled his eyes, still wrestling with the knot of his tie, clearly losing the battle. She glanced over, half-annoyed, half-amused, before offering a hand.
âNeed help?â (Y/N) asked, a trace of pity in her tone.
âIâm afraid youâll choke me.â
âOh, darling, Iâd choke you and run off with your money in a heartbeat,â she shot back, tossing the brochure aside before setting to work. Her fingers moved quickly, straightening his tie in no time. âThere, now you look almost as good as me.â
The limousine pulled to a stop in front of a towering, modern building. Their chauffeur opened the door, and as they stepped out, a sudden gust of wind made (Y/N) shiver. Without a word, Cregan slipped off his jacket and handed it to her.
âThank you, kind sir,â she said, wrapping it around her bare shoulders.
âYou should really invest in a fur coat,â he commented, observing the people gossiping in tight circles, sipping champagne. His gaze settled on a particular figure, and his expression soured. âOh, perfect. Think heâll recognize you?â
She followed his gaze to Viserys Targaryen, his red-haired wife right beside him, looking very unhappy.Â
âWell,â she whispered back, rather unbothered, âthat little business with his brother was ages ago. And honestly, I doubt heâs in touch with reality much these days.â
âIf he says anything meanâŠâ
âCan I kick him? Doesn't look like a fighter, I might stand a chance.â
âI was thinking more like you telling me, and Iâd sort it out.â
âThatâs cute, my knight in shining armor. I could always play the âcontroversially young wifeâ card. Or maybe the one about his alcoholic son? His daughterâs alleged affair?â
Cregan sighed, placing a hand gently on her back to guide her forward. âI forget how much of a menace you are in social settings.â
Viserys ended up recognizing her, but couldnât quite recall where he had seen her before. (Y/N) simply lied about once being a waitress at several high-society events. The oldest Targaryen was totally convinced.Â
Later, when Cregan finally stood on stage, accepting that ridiculous award, he heard her cheers cut through the noise of the crowd. (Y/N)âs voice was loud and proud, as she was ignoring the sideways glances from others around her.
Something inside him warmed. It was a feeling of embarrassment, surely. Or maybe it was the air conditioning?
She was, after all, only doing what was expected of her.Â
And it was dangerous to build your hopes up on a lie.
She knew all too well that a situation like this could happen, but she wasnât prepared for it tonight. (Y/N) stormed down the long hallway, her heart racing as angry tears kept on building up.
She had come with Cregan to an exclusive party. Little gathering hosted at the mansion of a wealthy investor, the one Stark hoped to sign a contract with soon.Â
A certain man was also thereâsomeone she had once accompanied to an event. The moment he saw her, a revolting smirk spread across his face, and he didnât hesitate to call her a whore as she returned alone from the restroom.
She shouldnât have felt hurt. She hadnât done anything wrong, and that guy was a disgusting piece of shit. So why did she feel so bad?
(Y/N) burst into the first room she could find, an office filled with heavy, dark wooden furniture that spoke of old money and privilege. The walls felt like they were closing in on her as she slammed the door behind her and leaned against it.
âWhatâs wrong with you? Get it together,â she murmured, her voice shaky as she fought to steady her breathing. She wiped her eyes with the back of her hand. It was so frustrating. The insult was just the last straw.
She wanted Cregan. Fuck the deal.
But she also knew she had told him not to expect anything from her, and deep down, she remembered the promise she made to keep things professional and uncomplicated.
A large window was wide open, inviting the cool night air inside. She stepped closer, leaning out to let the gentle breeze wash over her reddened face. With a deep breath, she adjusted her black mini dress, a reminder of the confidence sheâd tried to project all evening, and pulled a pack of cigarettes from her purse.
She was on her fourth attempt to light that damned cigarette, hands trembling, when the door creaked open. The man who had been haunting her thoughts slipped into the room.
âThere you are,â Creganâs voice was low, almost soothing, as he stepped inside. âI was starting to worry. Youâve been gone a while. Is something wrong?â
âNothingâs wrong,â she shot back, the words automatic. âActually, you know what? Something is wrong. This partyâthis whole thingâis wrong. Itâs a joke. I canât take it anymore.â
âYouâre right, itâs stiff, but you look too upset for it to just be about the party,â Stark replied, his voice calm but concerned. âAnd that,â he said, and without missing a beat, he reached over, snatched the unlit cigarette from her fingers, then tossed it through the open window. âThat is bad for your health.â
âOh, now you care so much?â she snapped, her eyes flashing with anger. âYou think you know me so well? Iâm done, Cregan. This has gone on long enough. Iâll go back there and do whatever you want, but this is the last time.â
âDo whatever I want?â Cregan repeated with disbelief. âHey, Iâm not forcing you into anything. I thought this worked for both of us. If Iâve done something wrong, then Iâm sorry.â
âStop with your fucking good man behavior,â she hissed, looking up and blinking furiously. âTo hell with this arrangement. Iâm bored of your meeting, bored of pretending, bored of you. I canât do this anymore.â
âYouâre lying,â Cregan said, his voice quiet, like he was stating a fact rather than accusing her of something. He leaned back against the wall, arms crossed.
âWhat?â she snapped, but her voice wavered.
âYouâre not looking me in the eye, and youâre scratching your left elbow.â
(Y/N) cursed under her breath.
âDo you want to end this arrangement?â he asked, his tone even softer now.
âYes!â she blurted out, but the word hung in the air, heavy with doubt.
Cregan stepped forward, his voice dropping lower, each word more deliberate. âLet me ask you differently. Do you want me to give you a ride home, forget about you, and never speak to you again? Or do you want to end this arrangement?â His eyes flickered down to her lips for the briefest second, the tension between them now almost suffocating.
Her heart pounded in her chest as she struggled to find her voice.
âThe second one,â she whispered.
Next moment his lips were on hers, kissing her with ferocity she hadnât known before. Creganâs big hands were exploring her body, too eager to stop in one place. She could feel him everywhere, his touch on her waist, kiss on the lips, hair tangled in her hands.Â
Stark stopped for a second that seemed like eternity and took a deep breath.
âListen, I⊠If you want me to stop, I know you said I shouldnâtâŠâ he tried to keep his composure, but his arms held her firmly, with strength and desperation. âSorry, I canât really form a coherent sentence right nowâŠâ
âI know what I said. What I meant was that I wouldnât fuck you for the money,â she explained, nearly breathless, touching his lower lip with her thumb. âThis is different. I want you.â
That was all he needed to hear. Creganâs lips found their way back, this time to her neck, leaving behind feather-like kisses. His fingers traced patterns on her thigh. Higher, and higher, but not there yet.
âAre you gonna hurry up or not?â (Y/N) asked, all riled up and losing her patience.
Cregan stopped kissing her neck and looked down at her with a shit-eating grin.
âConsider asking nicely now. Do you want to cum or not?â Cregan asked, mocking her previous question.
âDidnât know you had that in you.â
She had to remind herself to be quiet. Biting her lip to stop the moans, seated at the edge of a wooden desk, legs wide open, Starkâs head between her thighs; she forgot all about the party taking place in the living room.
âI would ask you to bend over, but I need to look at your face this time. Please? â
(Y/N) had never been fucked on a desk in some strangerâs office before, but there was a first time for everything.

puppy love - modern!cregan stark x fem!reader
Summary: Searching for peace in a quiet town takes an unexpected turn when your neighborâs dog decides you have to be his new best friend. One look at the neighbor and youâre totally fine with getting a two-for-one deal.

A large painting of a wolf pack hung over the fireplace. (Y/N) stared at it, biting her lip. Â
She wasnât even sure she knew how to light the damn fire.
Was this whole thing a bad idea? Trading in her modern Kingâs Landing studio for a tiny house in Winterfell? A big city girl in a small town. Yeah, she mightâve officially lost her mind.
âI hope itâs to your liking, dear,â came the sharp but grounding voice of Mrs. Glover, snapping her back to reality. The elderly landlady was already fastening her fur coat.
âItâs... cozy,â she replied with her best smile. Didnât want to admit to herself that she was feeling wildly out of place.
âGood.â Mrs. Glover nodded, satisfied. âNow, remember, once the snow hits, youâll need to keep that fireplace going. Northern frost is a bitch.â She placed the house keys on the small wooden table. âRentâs due by the tenth.â
âIâll remember,â (Y/N) said quickly. âThanks again for lowering the price.â
Mrs. Glover waved her hand dismissively. âDonât even mention it. Iâm in a hurry to get to Essos, and these silly umbrella cocktails are calling my name.â
The old woman paused at the door. âYou sure you can handle moving everything in on your own? I have to head out, but the Stark boy lives just across the street. Strong lad, good arms, Iâm telling ya. Handsome, too. Heâd help, if you ask nicely.â She winked. âIf I were only a few decades youngerâŠâ
âAll good, maâam,â (Y/N) cut in, her face heating up. âI donât have much. A few boxes, really.â
âWell, if you say so, Miss Independent. Good luck!â
With that, Mrs. Glover disappeared with a screech of tires in her flaming red car, leaving (Y/N) standing alone in front of her new home. Â
She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself. She could absolutely do this. Sheâd unpack before sundown, get settled, and everything would be fine. Better than fine, even. This place was going to be a fresh start. An escape from the Big Disaster, also known as her last relationship.
Sheâd find the meaning of life in the wild North or however that saying went.
She was currently standing in front of her open trunk, debating what to take first. And then something licked her hand.
Slowly, she turned her head, still not fully registering what was happening, and met the gaze of big brown eyes belonging to a fluffy creature as black as the night. A light pink tongue paused halfway, as if waiting for her reaction.
âOh, gods,â she whispered, frozen in place. âAre you a dog or a wolf? Please, be a dog. A friendly one.â
Her new friend barked in response and rolled onto its back in the universal gesture of please love me.
âYouâre a dog,â she sighed in relief, dropping to her knees to give him a good belly rub. âA boy, huh? A beautiful one. But where did you come from?â
Animals donât talk apparently. The girl glanced around instead. Sheâd left the gate open, sure, but he had to come from somewhere.
The dog let out a low grumble, tail thumping against the ground. She scratched his head, laughing softly. After a few minutes, he got up, shook off the dust, and placed one paw on her car.
âIâm moving into this house,â she informed him, picking up one of the smaller boxes from the trunk. She liked talking to pets, even though they couldnât offer much in the way of conversation. âIâve got a lot to do, but after that, we couldââ
And just like that, the dog vanished as suddenly as heâd appeared. (Y/N) stood there, blinking at the empty yard.
âBye?â she called out, shaking her head in disbelief. He probably went home.
She continued unpacking, but on her third trip to the car, she saw him again, this time with a tennis ball clamped between his teeth. He had so much hope in his eyes.
âDo you want to play?â she asked, amused. The moment she said the magic word, his ears perked up in excitement. âWhere are you even from?â
She should have been unpacking. She knew that. But how could she say no to a cutie like him?
âGood boy!â (Y/N) laughed as the dog leapt into the air and caught the ball in his mouth, mid-throw.
âExcuse me, is he harassing you, lady?â she suddenly heard a low, masculine voice behind her.
The dog dropped the ball from his mouth, adopting a tragic, martyr-like expression.
She spun around, heart pounding, and found herself face-to-face with a man who looked like a classic Northern lord from the past. Tall, broad-shouldered, with dark, wild hair and a beard that framed a strong jaw. He had these gray eyes that were both piercing and soft.
âHeâs mine,â the stranger explained with a half-smile, clearly catching her staring.
âOh, Iâm so sorry. I didnât mean to steal him, just so you knowâ (Y/N) finally spoke up, cheeks flushing. âHe just... showed up. With the ball. So, I thoughtâŠâ
Her awkward explanation was interrupted by his laugh, loud and kind.
âDonât worry, I didnât think you were kidnapping him,â he said, hands in his pockets. âI was just making sure he wasnât bothering you. He mustâve jumped the fence. I saw you two from across the street.â
Ah. The young Stark.Â
âNo, not at all,â she reassured him, finally getting her words in order. âHeâs well-behaved. Whatâs his name?â
The dark cloud of fur came closer and laid at her feet, cementing their new alliance.
The man hesitated for a moment. (Y/N) looked at him expectantly.
âFrosty,â he finally mumbled, looking at the ground.
It was the girlâs turn to laugh.
âYou named this huge black wolf-ass looking creature Frosty?â she asked, scratching the dog behind his ears. He was absolutely delighted.
âHe likes the cold,â Stark offered with a small shrug, a smirk tugging at the corner of his lips. âAnd you areâŠ?â
â(Y/N). Iâd shake your hand, but Iâm doing something important. Nice to meet you though.âÂ
âCregan,â he said, placing a hand over his heart with a grin. âNice to meet you too. Frostyâs obviously on cloud nine. Heâs usually not that trusting. Friendly with other dogs, sure, but picky with people. You must be special.â
Her heart swelled at those words. What an honor.
âHeâs my first friend in Winterfell.â
Cregan smiled and looked at her car, noticing the boxes still inside.
âSo, renting from Mrs. Glover?â
âYeah, I just moved in from Kingâs Landing today.â
âCity girl, yeah?â He whistled, leaning against the side of the car with a thoughtful look. âYouâve come a long way. But hey, Iâm not complaining. Weâre neighbors now. I live across the street.â
(Y/N) flashed a smile. âIâm not complaining either.â
âPlease feel welcome to ask if you ever need anything. Iâll give you my number, just in case.â
Smooth, Cregan, smooth.
Rolling up his sleeves, Cregan walked over and hefted the biggest box out of the trunk like it was nothing.
âNow, letâs help you with that.â
That old hag was right. He had good arms.
The Northern frost was, indeed, a bitch.
But the warmth of the fire, the soft couch beneath her, and Frostyâs massive, fluffy body draped across her lap made the afternoon bearable. (Y/N)âs hand had long since gone numb from petting the dog, but his fur was addictive.
Her phone suddenly rang, breaking the peace. Frosty, naturally, didnât move a bit. Not even a nuclear explosion could wake him.
Sighing, (Y/N) reached for her phone on the table, already knowing who it was.Â
Helaena Targaryen.
âHowâs the grass-touching and vet-seducing going?â came Helaenaâs voice, sugary sweet and teasing, before she even had a chance to say hello.
âFirst of all, the grass is frozen solid,â she shot back, shifting slightly to keep her lap from completely losing circulation. âAnd second, again. There is no seducing happening.â
âSure, smarty-pants. And youâre totally not babysitting his dog right now.â
âI mean,â the girl sighed with a reluctant smile. âsaid dog kind of invited himself here. And Cregan gave him a backpack full of snacks and toys, like he was dropping him off at daycare.â
He had also scolded him earlier for having dirty paws, saying thatâs not how he raised him. The dog liked her, and she liked both him and his owner. Cregan turned out to be a veterinarian with a small clinic in town. He was working late today, so she had offered to look after his friend. Home office benefits.
Hel snorted loudly on the other end. âOh my, heâs ridiculous. I love it. By the way, I did a tarot reading for you,â she announced, suddenly taking on a serious and spiritual tone. âThe message is clear. Go after Cregan, let him chop wood and start the fire in yourââ
(Y/N) groaned, facepalming. âYouâve got to stop. Iâm not ready for this. And heâs just kind.â
âKind of having a crush on you. Youâre still hurting after that Gwayne situation, arenât you?â
The mention of his name made her feel sick. âItâs not about him. Iâm just... done with dating for a while.â
âWell, he was a moron,â Helaena said bluntly, her tone shifting from teasing to fierce in a heartbeat. âFor the record, we all stopped talking to him. Aemond wanted to beat him up, but I told him karma would do the job.â
(Y/N) winced, though she appreciated Targaryensâ loyalty. âIâm tired of men.â
âYouâre not tired of men,â Helaena corrected her. âYouâre tired of idiots. Is Cregan an idiot?â
She knew he wasnât.
âHey, if you donât make a move, I will.â
âYouâre the worst.â
âKidding. But please, please, for the love of gods, make him chop some wood for you.â
A strange noise woke her up.
It sounded like something was scratching at the front door. (Y/N) rubbed her eyes, groaning as she crawled out from under the warm blanket. A quick glance at the digital clock. 5:58 a.m. The sun hadnât even thought about rising yet. The scratching persisted.
âIf this is some kind of monster, I swear Iâm not in the mood,â she mumbled, her voice heavy with sleep. Then came a familiar bark, and she frowned.
Frosty?
She cracked the door open, and sure enough, there on the porch stood Creganâs dog, barely visible in the early morning gloom. Frosty barked again, hopped down the steps, and turned to look at her expectantly.
He wanted her to follow him.
âHold on, buddy, let me grab my shoes,â she promised, her voice a mix of anxiety and sleepiness. She hurriedly slipped on her shoes, her mind racing. What if something had happened to Cregan? Was this a âdog leads the way to an emergencyâ situation? With a quick grab of her hoodie, she went after the dog. Frosty kept looking back at her to make sure she was keeping up.
In no time, they arrived at Creganâs house. The door was slightly ajar, and her heart raced as she stepped inside.
âCregan?â she called out hesitantly.
âYeah?â came his voice from the right, and she nearly jumped out of her skin.
Cregan Stark stood by the kitchen counter, looking mildly confused with a steaming cup of coffee in hand. He was clad only in gray sweatpants, the silver wolf pendant around his neck glinting in the soft light.
âAre you okay?â she blurted out, still trying to catch her breath.
âFeeling great. Want some coffee?â he asked, raising an eyebrow.
(Y/N) pulled out a chair and plopped down, staring at Frosty, who was wagging his tail like he had just saved the day.
âAm I a joke to you?â Frosty tilted his head, giving her an innocent look. "He came to my door like some heroic rescue dog. I thoughtââ She sighed, running a hand through her messy hair. âI thought something had happened to you. I figured youâd, I donât know, passed out or something. Iâm pretty sure I just aged ten years.â
Cregan cast a side glance at Frosty, lips twitching as he tried to keep a straight face. "Frosty, man, whatâs the deal?â he asked the dog, a small smile playing at the corners of his lips.
(Y/N) narrowed her eyes. âThis is not funny.â
âYou really got that worried?âÂ
âYes! And here you are, in perfect shape. Alive,â she muttered, her eyes trailing over his very much alive form, pausing on his very defined abs. âAnd half-naked. I might cry.â
That did itâCregan turned away quickly, but she saw the grin he was trying to hide as he moved to make her coffee.
âShould I put on a shirt?â he asked, a little more serious now, glancing back over his shoulder. âIf it bothers you.â
âNo, youâve got some nice muscles on your back,â she blurted out without thinking. Frosty rested his head on her knee, looking up at her with his big eyes. âAnd you,â she added, giving the dog a playful glare, âare lucky youâre cute.â
Cregan placed the mug in front of her.
âThanks for the compliment,â he said with a smirk.
âThanks for the coffee,â she replied, feeling the tension melt a little.
Cregan sat across from her, watching her for a moment, an unreadable expression on his face.
âYou look good,â he said finally, sounding genuine. âWant some breakfast?â
Suddenly, it hit her. She was here, no makeup, hair a mess, and still in her pajama pants. She cringed, remembering her earlier comment about his fucking back.
âUh, no, Iâm good,â she mumbled, suddenly self-conscious.
âDinner, then? Later. With me. I know a place. If youâd like, of course,â Cregan suggested quickly, his tone slightly tentative.
(Y/N)âs eyes widened in surprise. Was he... blushing?
âAre you asking me out?â
He let out a soft laugh. âIâve been trying to ask you out since the first time I saw you. Not sure if you noticed,â he admitted. Just then, Frosty went up to him and nudged the ownerâs hand with his nose. âOh, great, emotional support,â Cregan muttered, scratching the dogâs head affectionately.
(Y/N) couldnât help but chuckle, shaking her head in disbelief. âYes.â
âYes?â he echoed, hopeful.
âYes,â she affirmed, her heart racing. âJust let me know what time, and Iâll dress up.â
He flashed her that charming grin, but then his expression shifted. âIâve got an appointment with a chihuahua that bites people. Iâm actually not sure if Iâm gonna make it.â
She liked him so much.
âDo you think itâd be alright if I kissed you before the date, Cregan?âÂ
âOh, please do,â Stark replied, voice and expression desperate.
Without overthinking it, she ended up sitting on his lap, being kissed like there was no tomorrow. Held by the strongest pair of arms that were also so gentle.
Frosty placed an approving paw on Creganâs leg.
Well done, human.

ice-cold revelations - modern!cregan stark x fem!velaryon!reader
Summary: You are in a risky secret relationship with your brother's best friend. What happens when Cregan's unexpected injury exposes your feelings? Well, isn't there somebody you forgot to ask?
Disclaimer: English isn't my first language!
Word count: 2.8k
The wind tore through the streets with a biting ferocity, tugging at (Y/N)âs skirt and making her instantly regret both her outfit choice and this entire trip to the bus stop.
âStupid winter has to be coming,â she muttered, yanking a colorful scarf up to cover her nose. Her phone chimed in her pocket, vibrating with the familiar sound of a new message. She fumbled with one hand to pull it out, her fingers stiff from the cold.
đș: jace wouldnât stop bugging me about that earring under my bed
đș: i convinced him sara mustâve left it when she crashed at our place lmao
(Y/N) raised her eyebrows, her breath fogging the air as she sighed. The last thing she needed was her brother playing the part of a suspicious rom-com wife, finding random jewelry in odd places and jumping to conclusions. At least he hadnât figured out where heâd seen that earring before.
Jacaerys Velaryon, as much as she adored him, had a habit of being a little too protective. He was always there when she needed him. But he was also the kind of brother who, despite being only a few minutes older, seemed to think that fact gave him full control over her dating life. Any guy who so much as glanced her way was either a potential threat or one of his friends. And friends were off-limits. Too much drama, heâd say. Too awkward if things went south. Even more awkward if things somehow worked out. Conflict of interest. Absolutely not.
Which was precisely why, in the grand scheme of things, the most logical solution was for her to start dating his best friend and his hockey team captain, Cregan Stark.
Cregan was wonderful. The kind of guy who would do anything for her, no questions asked. That's what had brought them to where they were now. Hiding their relationship from her dramatic brother and quite literally gaslighting him.
Did she feel guilty? Absolutely. Did she know it would be a hundred times worse if Jace found out? Also yes.
Her thoughts were interrupted by the sight of a bus speeding past the stop, tires screeching as it flew by. Her bus. Of course.
With impressive force, she pressed the green phone icon.
âHey, sweetheart. Whatâs up?â Cregan answered in three seconds. Her irritation melted a little at the sound of his deep voice. Down bad.
âHey, did you guys finish practice?â
âYeah, just now, I couldnât cut the boys any slack before tomorrow.â
âAny chance the strict captain could give me a ride home? I missed the bus. Or more like the bus missed me.â
âYouâre kidding,â Cregan said, sympathy already thick in his voice. âOf course Iâll come get you.â He paused for a beat, then cleared his throat. âOnly thing is⊠Jace wanted a ride too.â
âThe gods are punishing me today,â she groaned.
âCall him. It'll be the same ride. Just, you know, he'll think it was his idea,â Cregan suggested.
âAre we bad people, Cregan?â she asked, half-serious now.
âNah. Heâll find out eventually, just better if Iâm in full hockey gear when it happens.â
âFair enough,â she said, the corner of her mouth lifting in a smile. âThanks. Love you. Bye.â
She hung up and immediately dialed her brother, requesting the same exact thing.
âSure, you owe me one though,â he said cheerfully. âI donât have my car today, so weâll have to go with Stark. Is that a problem?â
âNope.â No, her boyfriend wouldnât be a problem.
(Y/N) Velaryon paced back and forth under the shelter of the bus stop, her boots crunching against the thin layer of frost that had already formed on the pavement. She rubbed her arms, trying to keep the cold at bay, when the familiar growl of a black Jeep Wrangler cut through the quiet. It rolled to a stop near the curb.
She jogged toward the car, her breath puffing out in small clouds, as the driverâs window slid down.
âYour chariot awaits, princess,â Cregan announced with a mock flourish.
âMore like a toad,â Jace quipped from the passenger seat, his grin unmistakable.
âOne more word and youâll get my bag to the head. Iâve got half my textbooks in there,â she threatened playfully as she slid into the backseat.
The backseat of this car had witnessed many events, and that was the first thought that crossed her mind. One look at Cregan in the side mirror, and she knew he was thinking the same.
She pretended to be very engrossed in buckling her seatbelt.
âHow was practice?â she asked out of politeness.
âNot bad. Stark was all business today, but it was necessary. Big day tomorrow,â Jace replied, fiddling with the radio. Cregan slapped his hand away as he slowed down for a red light.
âGreat,â the girl muttered, not trusting her tongue around the two of them together.
An awkward silence fell, broken only by some random song. How long can a red light last?
âSo, (Y/N),â Cregan began, drumming his fingers on the steering wheel. His voice wavered, but Jace was in his own world, watching pedestrians crossing the street. âHowâs it going? How was your day?â
âPretty good,â she replied, playing with the hem of her skirt. âThough the classes dragged on.â
The devil on her shoulder won an uneven fight with the weak angel. She smirked.
ââM absolutely knackered.â
Cregan inhaled slowly through his nose.
âDude, itâs green,â Jace informed him, just before the car behind them honked.
âI can see,â Cregan reassured him, finally moving forward. âIâll need your sisterâs address since Iâve never been there before.â
If Jace had one more brain cell, he wouldnât be so easily fooled.
âSure thing,â her brother agreed, typing the info into the GPS on his phone. âHey, kid, are you coming to the game tomorrow?â
âHow many times do I have to tell you not to call me that?â (Y/N) asked angrily, kicking his seat. âBaelaâs taking me.â
âYou know what I think?â Jace started, spreading his arms dramatically. âA girlfriend in the stands is such a power boost. Such a boost⊠I never play as well as when Baela supports me from the bleachers.â
âYou never play well,â His sister muttered under her breath, but Jacaerys was currently listening only to himself.
âCregan wouldnât get it,â He patted Cregan on the shoulder in the meantime. âIf you combined your skills with that support, if you brought a girl, trust me, your performance would be a hundred times better.â
âTalented people donât need superstitions to play well, Jace,â (Y/N) chimed in, leaning forward. âBesides, Cregan is single.â
âBecause heâs too serious and broody, girls donât like that,â her brother declared in a know-it-all voice. She gave him a side-eye. âHe is afraid of women.â
âAre you afraid of women, Stark?â she asked seriously, barely holding back laughter.
Cregan shot her a look in the mirror, his eyes twinkling with amusement. âTerrified,â he deadpanned. âThatâs why Iâm thinking maybe your sister should be my good luck charm tomorrow. Just as a friend, of course.â
âEh, itâs not the same,â Jace protested, scrunching his face.
âDonât you believe in the power of friendship?â the driver asked with full seriousness.
âCan I get a jersey with your number?â (Y/N) batted her lashes playfully at her boyfriend.
A jersey with his number was already hanging in her closet.
âAlright, youâll see, you need deeper feelings for it to work, otherwise it just wonâtâŠâ
Jacaerys continued his monologue all the way to her apartment. The girl sighed with relief once she was back in her room, the familiarity of it a welcome escape from the tension.
Two new messages.
đș: you looked so pretty today
đș: but next time wear a damn coat, or youâll catch a cold!!!
The fluorescent light above (Y/N)âs head flickered ominously, casting creepy shadows across the cramped janitorâs closet. She swore that if the bulb died completely, she'd either pee her pants or spiral into a full-blown claustrophobic meltdown. Leaning back against the wall, she tried to focus on the neatly arranged rows of brooms and mops. Soon, the door creaked open, revealing Cregan in all his glory.
Full hockey gear? Check. Helmet? Tucked under his arm. That goofy, ridiculous smile? Definitely check.
âYou look so good,â she admitted, grabby hands already in the air. âCome here.â
Cregan shut the door behind him with a soft click, casting a glance at the flickering light overhead. He sighed, took one of her hands, and kissed her wrist softly.Â
âWe have to tell your brother,â Stark said, his voice serious as he placed his helmet on the wooden shelf beside them. âItâs not right that my girl has to sneak me a good-luck kiss in a smelly closet. You should be able to strut right into the locker room.â
His girl grinned. âYouâve got your gear on,â she pointed out. âWe can tell him after the game. Besides, Baelaâs softening him up for us. I asked her to.â
Baela Targaryen was known for sniffing out secrets, and the second she spotted (Y/N) wearing Creganâs jersey before the game, she didnât even need to ask. Her knowing look said it all, and within minutes, Velaryon girl spilled the truth, enduring Baelaâs delighted squeal that had probably echoed for miles.
âI knew you had high standards, girl. Going straight for the captain!â Baela teased, laughing. âJace obviously doesnât know? He hasnât said anything... and Starkâs still breathing.â
Thankfully, Baela had been more than willing to help, distracting Jace so Cregan could sneak away after the pre-game pep talk. Now, Cregan was looking at (Y/N) with pride, his eyes lingering on the jersey she wore.Â
âSheâs a real one for that,â he mused. âBut seriously, we have to tell him. I want a picture of us on my lock screen, and that asshole keeps looking over my shoulder.â
She laughed, pulling him closer and kissing him hard, savoring the way his rough stubble tickled her skin.
âFor now,â she murmured against his lips, âjust focus on the game. Youâre incredible. An amazing captain. And itâs going to go great. I believe in you.â
Cregan grinned, his eyes sparkling with mischief. âMaybe one more kiss. Just to make sure we win.â
âThe power of having a girl in the stands,â she teased, poking his chest playfully.
âJace definitely exaggerated that theory,â Cregan confessed with a chuckle. âBut honestly... Iâm just glad youâre here.â
With butterflies in her stomach and a grin she couldnât wipe off her face, (Y/N) found herself in the stands minutes later, sitting next to Baela. Her friend was watching the silent exchange of glances between her and Cregan with thinly veiled amusement.
âI always knew Jace was blind, but this is just tragic,â Baela remarked, elbowing her in the ribs. Jace, oblivious as ever, waved enthusiastically from the rink. Both girls waved back, cheering with the crowd.
âYouâll boo with me when the Dornish Spears come out, right?â (Y/N) asked.
Baela gave her a mock-serious look. âTechnically, we shouldnât. Obviously, I will,â she promised.Â
The game was fast, brutal, and nearly deadlocked until the very end. (Y/N) had never yelled so much in her life, though her shouts were lost in the deafening roar of the crowd. Cregan played like a man possessed, commanding the ice with his usual grace. At least twenty times during the match, she found herself holding her breath, her heart leaping into her throat with every risky play. But she knew he had it under control. He always did.
Of course they won.
The victory rippled through the stands like a wave, and (Y/N) screamed herself hoarse as the crowd erupted around her. Cregan pulled off his helmet, his eyes scanning the stands until he found her. His smileâtired and breathtakingâwas for her, and her alone. She didnât regret the ringing in her ears or the scratch in her throat for a second. Moments later, he was swept up in a sea of celebrating teammates.
âGirl, are you crying?â Baela asked, pulling her into a hug.
âI donât know,â She sniffled. âIâm just emotional. I just like that boy so fucking much, Bae.â
âI know, honey. Come on, theyâre heading off the ice. Letâs congratulate them, and then have a crazy party or something. No time for tears.â
Cregan was one of the last players to leave the ice, trailing just behind Jace. But before he could step off, the captain of the opposing team, his face twisted with anger, skated up to him. For a moment, it looked like they might talk it out. But then, it all happened too fast.
The player from Dorne shoved Cregan hard against the wall. Stark, ever the calm one, simply raised his hands in a peaceful gesture.
And then he took a fist to the face. The sickening sound of bone cracking echoed across the rink.
âWhat the hell is going on? Jace!â Baela shouted, holding her friend back as she tried to rush forward.
Jace jumped back onto the ice, but by the time he got there, the other team had pulled their enraged captain away. Cregan stumbled off the ice just as (Y/N) reached him.
âAre you okay? Oh gods, let me see,â she fretted, her hands hovering near his face.
âWhat a fucking jerk!â Jace nearly screamed, skidding to a stop by the exit. âI called for help, theyâll be here in a second.â
(Y/N) carefully moved Creganâs hand away, revealing the damage. His face was a swollen mess, his nose clearly broken.
âDo you think theyâll make me lie face-down on the ice?â Cregan joked weakly, leaning on her for support.
âDoes it hurt a lot? Maybe you should sit down. Oh shit, I canât believeââ
âHey, sweetheart. Calm down,â Cregan murmured, his voice soothing despite the pain. âIt hurts like hell, but Iâll live.â
Just then, the medic arrived, momentarily distracting Jace. But despite the chaos, he had clearly heard what Cregan just said. For a moment, Jace stood there, his face pale as the words and the image before him sank in.
âSweetheart?â he echoed softly, but no one paid him any attention.
âJace, maybe nowâs not the time,â Baela said gently, stepping up beside him.
âI feel physically sick,â Jace muttered, staggering to the railing for support.
The medic handed Cregan an ice pack. âHold this to your face for a bit. Iâll get you something for the pain right away, but a doctorâs gonna have to set that nose.â
Cregan winced but smiled through it. âYou might wanna check on my friend first,â he said, gesturing toward Jace. âI can wait. He looks like heâs about to pass out.â
Jace did, in fact, end up passing out.
Cregan had to take a break from sports after that little adventure. Heâd recovered, but now sported a slightly crooked noseâsomething his girlfriend found oddly hot.
(Y/N) saw his temporary recovery as the perfect chance to manipulate him into watching Teen Wolf with her every evening. After all, the title worked in her favor.
They were nestled on the couch, wrapped together in a soft gray blanket. It was their first time lounging in the living room of the apartment Cregan shared with her brother, rather than hiding behind the securely locked door of his bedroom.Â
It would be perfect, really. If it werenât for Jaceâs constant, deliberate trips to the kitchen and bathroom, each one an obvious reminder that he was keeping an eye on them.
âDear Jacaerys,â (Y/N) said, her patience wearing thin, âyou do know we donât need a chaperone, right?â
Jace barely paused, shooting her a sidelong glance before muttering, âYou need someone to knock the stupid ideas out of your heads,â as he slammed the bathroom door.
Cregan chuckled softly, pulling her closer. âGive him some time,â he whispered, pressing a kiss to her temple. âTo be honest, I thought it would be worse. Heâll come around eventually.â
Theyâd already gone through several long, tension-filled conversations, with Baela stepping in as the voice of reason when things got too heated. They were careful now, avoiding anything that might provoke Jace further.
But Cregan was rightâJace was slowly coming around, even if he was still stubborn. The days of silent treatment had finally passed.
âThis is on us for hiding things from him,â (Y/N) sighed, watching her brother embark on yet another purposeful long journey to the kitchen. âNo more secrets now.â
âYour brotherâs just looking out for you,â Cregan called out, raising his voice slightly so Jace could hear. âHe doesnât want anything bad to happen to you, and I respect that. I donât know anyone else who cares like he does.â
Jace stopped, leaning against the doorframe with his arms crossed, eyes narrowed. His lips curved into a sweet, mischievous grin.
âYeah,â he began, drawing out the word. âSo tell me sister, when are you introducing him to Mom?â
