PUCK ME, STEPBROTHER
Bryson POV
Blackridge University was already a nightmare before I dumped hot coffee all over Julian Hayes.
He's tall, built, with this perfect smirk that makes me want to punch him. Captain of the hockey team and the biggest asshole I've ever met.
He destroyed me in front of everyone. Made sure I knew exactly where I stood.
But then I joined the hockey team to make my mom happy, and suddenly everything changed. I could actually play. And Julian? He started looking at me like he wanted to destroy me in a whole different way.
Now every practice feels like war. Every time we're alone in the locker room, I can barely breathe.
I hate him.
I want him.
And I'm pretty sure he knows it.
Julian's POV
I run Blackridge University. Team captain, golden boy, everyone wants to be me or be with me. Then some transfer kid crashes into me and ruins my shirt.
Bryson Miller.
Smart mouth, cheap clothes, and eyes that look at me like he's not impressed.
I should've crushed him and moved on. But the little shit joined my hockey team and turned out to be good. Really good.
Now I can't get him out of my head. Every practice, every fight we have feels like something else entirely. Something I don't want to think about.
I thought that was complicated enough.
Then I walk into my house tonight and find Bryson unpacking boxes in my living room..

Chapter: Chapter 46New RoommatesBryson's POVIt's move-in day and Rowan shows up at my dorm early, coffee in one hand and an energy that's way too bright for eight in the morning. It's not a surprise anyways, she's always been overly energetic about my life after the whole Julian and I kissing thing."Ready to move in with your stepbrother? " she asks, grinning wide. “Or should I say, husband?” She continues, this one barely a whisper."It's literally 8 in the morning, please don't start." I mutter, already regretting telling her about this arrangement. My stomach is already twisting just by remembering what's about to happen.Danny's sprawled on his bed doing absolutely nothing useful while Rowan and I pack boxes. He keeps tossing out terrible pick-up lines that somehow makes Rowan laugh, not in the romantic sense but just our of humor."So if I said you had a beautiful body, would you hold it against me?" he tries, waggling his eyebrows.Rowan snorts, shaking her head. "Gosh, that's awfully terrible.

Chapter: Chapter 45TrappedJulian's POVAs usual, Bryson and I head home for the weekend. I keep my face stone cold during the entire drive, jaw clenched and eyes fixed on the road. I need to make sure Bryson doesn't try to start a conversation about what happened at the club.Bryson isn't as brave as he was that night, alcohol giving him confidence he clearly doesn't have sober. He keeps silent in the passenger seat, staring out the window.But the memory of that night runs through my head on repeat anyway. How bold Bryson looked on that dance floor. How different from his usual careful, guarded self. How alluring he was with his hands on my waist, grinding against me like he had every right to.I grip the steering wheel tighter, trying to focus on driving instead of remembering.The question Bryson asked keeps echoing in my mind. Are you gay too? The words haunt me because I don't have an answer that makes sense.Until Bryson, I'd never felt attraction to any man. Never looked at another guy and wante

Chapter: Chapter 44CollisionBryson's POVI walk up behind him and grip his waist, leaning in close. "Want to dance?"He goes completely rigid under my hands. Before he can answer, I circle to face him.My stomach drops when I see Julian's face. Those familiar furrowed brows, that frozen expression staring back at me in complete shock.Of all the people I expected to run into tonight, Julian wasn't even on the list.A sober Bryson would probably step back and apologize. But the drunk part of me refuses to let go. I grip his waist tighter instead, allowing the moving crowd to push us closer together.Julian stays completely tense under my hands but doesn't shove me away. His jaw clenches, eyes wide with something that looks like panic mixed with confusion.I smirk, alcohol making me bold. "Why are you even here?""Why are you here?" Julian snaps back immediately, his voice strained.I shrug, the movement making our bodies shift against each other. "I'm bisexual. Pretty normal place for me to be."Julian

Chapter: Chapter 43Wrong PlaceJulian's POV"Let's hit a club," I say to Dylan after practice. He's one of my closest friends on the team, someone I can actually trust not to spread my business around."Yeah, sure." He's already pulling out his phone, thumbs flying across the screen. "Let me text Sarah.""Your girlfriend? Why does she need to come?""She'll want to." He grins without looking up. "Plus she knows all the good spots in the city. Better than going somewhere random."I shrug, tossing my gym bag in my car. My only goal tonight is to find a girl to hook up with, get Bryson out of my head for a few hours. Maybe if I can just reset, get back to normal, this whole mess will feel less overwhelming. Having Sarah along shouldn't complicate that plan.We meet up with her an hour later outside some place downtown I've never heard of. She's bouncing on her heels with excitement, her blonde hair catching the streetlights."I know the perfect place," she says, already leading the way down the block. "Gre

Chapter: Chapter 42Letting GoBryson's POVAt the bookstore, I flip through my lecture notes while Rowan organizes returned books behind the counter. The afternoon shift is quiet, just a few customers browsing the shelves."So practice was interesting yesterday," I say, trying to sound casual."Oh?" She looks up, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. "What happened?""Julian defended me. In front of the whole team." The words still feel strange saying them out loud.Rowan's eyes widen. "Wait, what? Your stepbrother, who hates you, defended you?""Thompson was talking shit about me in the locker room. Said my plays were just beginner's luck." I flip a page without really reading it. "Julian grabbed him by the collar and told everyone to shut up about it.""Oh my god." Rowan clutches her chest dramatically. "That's so protective. That's literally enemies-to-lovers territory right there."I roll my eyes. "It's not like that.""Sure it's not." She grins, abandoning the books completely. "The hockey capta

Chapter: Chapter 41SpiralingJulian's POVI'm spiraling and I know it, but I can't make it stop.I keep replaying the kiss over and over. The way I grabbed his shirt. How his mouth felt against mine. The fact that he kissed me back without hesitation.Every time the memory surfaces, I swear under my breath and punch whatever's closest. The wall takes most of my anger tonight."Fuck," I mutter, slamming my fist into the drywall. Pain shoots up my arm but does nothing to clear my head.My knuckles are bruised and scraped now, raw and angry. I stare at them in the dim light of my dorm room.I tell myself it was nothing but anger. Just two guys fighting, whose wires got crossed, but my chest tightens at the obvious lie.But panic creeps in anyway, wrapping around me. I start questioning everything I thought I knew about myself, pulling at threads I don't want to unravel.Maybe I'm just horny and that's what's messing with my head. I haven't hooked up with anyone in weeks, too stressed about everything falli
