Pairing: MM
Heat: 🌶️🌶️🌶️ Scorching
Tropes: Grumpy/Sunshine, Bi Awakening, Superstition

He’s the team’s golden boy. I’m the broken-down enforcer on his last legs. We have nothing in common… except a pre-game ritual that’s about to get complicated.

FORD
My career is circling the drain. I’m thirty-two, my knees are shot, and I’m playing the worst hockey of my life. Then Luca Rossi—our star rookie, the guy with the megawatt smile and the scoring touch—offers to help.

He says I’m in my head. He says he can help me relax.

It starts as a superstition. A secret hookup in the showers to take the edge off. But then I start scoring again. The team starts winning. And I start craving Luca’s touch more than my next breath.

LUCA
I’ve been watching Ford Rutherford for two years. The size of him, the scars, the way he looks at me when he thinks I’m not paying attention. I told him it was just for the team. I lied.

You’ll love this if you enjoy:

✓ Grumpy veteran enforcer melting for a sunshine rookie
✓ Bi awakening with “it’s just superstition” tension
✓ Hockey locker room steam
✓ Size difference and protective heroes
✓ Career stakes that make every moment matter

The Enforcer’s Luck is a high-heat MM hockey romance featuring a grumpy protector, a sunshine rookie, a bi-awakening, and a guaranteed happily ever after.

The Slump & The Spark

The ice felt wrong under Ford’s skates.

It shouldn’t have—he’d been skating since he was four years old. But at six-foot-five and two hundred forty-five pounds, Garrick “Ford” Rutherford felt every goddamn ounce this morning. His legs were cement blocks. His lungs burned.

He wasn’t that old. Thirty-two wasn’t ancient. But enforcers didn’t last into their late thirties.

A blur of platinum blonde hair streaked past his peripheral vision.

Luca Rossi executed a perfect crossover and buried a wrist shot top shelf. The distinctive ping of puck on metal echoed through the arena.

Ford felt something twist in his gut. The kid was everything Ford wasn’t—fast, pretty, marketable. The franchise player. The future.

“Bad practice?” Luca asked later, stepping too close.

“I’m fine.” Ford’s voice came out rough.

“You’re stressed.” Luca’s mouth curved. “You know what helps with stress?”

“What?”

“Lots of things.” Luca’s gaze dropped down Ford’s body and back up. “I could help. If you want.”

The words hung in the air like smoke.

“Meet me in the showers in five minutes,” Luca said. “Alone.”

Ford scored that night.

His first goal in fourteen games. The team won 4-1. In the locker room after, guys were clapping him on the back, asking what had changed.

Ford’s eyes found Luca across the room. Luca was already looking at him, smile playing at the corners of his mouth.

“Just luck,” Ford said.

Luca’s smile widened.
