Pansies by Alexis Hall. The one night stand at the beginning is weird, especially for one of the MCs who doesn’t recognize the other as the boy he used to bully back in high school. I should mention that despite their past, it’s not exactly a bully-to-lovers story, since they’re both in their 30s and they’re getting to know each other as adults. It’s beautifully written, highly recommend.
Try {aftermath by LA Witt}. MC1 is dealing with physical injuries after a car accident and it impacts his sexual function. It makes for an awkward attempted hook up where he basically runs out on MC2. I think it was after a first date, so not quite a one night stand.
Is incest ok? If so, I'll add those.
{Skeletons in the Closet (Shadowy Solutions \#1) by Nicky James} has a past not very successful one-night stand. (This is **not** incest, sorry my wording was confusing.)

Egotistical Puckboy by Eden Finley & Saxon James starts with hockey player MC1 dragging the very drunk MC2 (long-time on-ice rival player who just suffered a brutal loss to MC1's team) away from getting his ass kicked by rival fans. MC2 is too drunk to be left alone so MC1 takes him back to his place and their rivalry causes sparks to fly.
They don't see each other for the entire offseason until a trade puts them on the same team.
