ICE BOUND OBSESSION
"So your plan was just to fuck me and what?"
The words scrape out of my throat as the file sliped from my hands.
"I was just a freaking lab rat to you?" Aiden's jaw tightens, and for the first time since I've known him, there is no smirk, no cocky remark, no infuriating confidence that makes me want to punch him and kiss him at the same time.
He just stands there looking completely defeated, and somehow that hurts more than if he had laughed in my face.
"Kieran..." The sound of my name almost cracks something inside me, but I force myself to hold his gaze.
"Tell me the truth" My voice comes out rougher than I intend.
I want him to tell me the files are wrong, that I didn't just hand him my heart only to discover he was holding a knife the entire time.
"You don't know the whole story." The words settle heavily between us, and a cold dread crawls through my chest because if this isn't the whole story.
I used to think my biggest problem was Aiden Voss; the rival hockey captain who got under my skin…my childhood crush.
The guy I couldn't stop thinking about.. until he kissed me, and my world came crashing down in the most dramatic way possible.
What started as an obsession became a secret. What became a secret turned into an addiction. Somewhere between stolen moments, jealousy-fueled arguments and a twenty-one days challenge that was supposed to prove a point, I stopped seeing Aiden as my rival and started seeing him as the one person I couldn't live without.

Chapter: chapter nineChapter nineKieran's povI barely made it three steps toward the kitchen before I heard Aiden behind me. "So you're just going to leave it there?" I glanced over my shoulder and found him watching me from the staircase, that irritatingly amused expression already playing across his face. "Leave what?" I asked, though I knew exactly what he meant. "What happened?" Aiden smiled and continued toward the kitchen. "I thought we established that you don't remember." "That doesn't mean I don't want to know." The words came out more defensively than I intended, but I couldn't help it. There was a blank space in my memory that was beginning to bother me more than the headache, and Aiden seemed entirely too pleased with the fact that he knew what had happened while I didn't. I followed him without thinking, curiosity dragging me after him even as my pride told me to stop.He made his way towards the kitchen. I watched as he reached for a glass, filling it with water before taking a slow

Chapter: chapter eightChapter eightAidens povThe crash had ripped through the mansion with enough force to tell me two things. First, something expensive had just met an unfortunate end. Second, Kieran was almost certainly responsible. By the time I reached the landing, I'd already accepted the loss. What I hadn't expected was to find him standing in the middle of the crime scene looking less concerned about the shattered porcelain at his feet than the conversation he'd clearly been eavesdropping on downstairs.His gaze met mine without the slightest trace of guilt. "So..." His voice was still rough from sleep, but there wasn't an ounce of hesitation in it. "Your fuck buddy is Mason?"I stopped mid way, my eyes drifting from his face to the broken porcelain scattered across the marble, then back to him again.For a moment, I genuinely couldn't decide whether to be offended or impressed. A laugh escaped before I could stop it."You absolute fool." His brows drew together."You wake up in my house, smas

Chapter: chapter sevenChapter sevenAidens povMorning announced itself through the warmth spilling across the polished hardwood floor before I was ready to face it. Every muscle in my back protested as I unfolded myself from the armchair beside the bed, a dull ache running from the base of my neck to the middle of my spine. I hadn't slept so much as drifted in and out of consciousness, waking every time the idiot occupying my bed shifted beneath the blankets. I rubbed a hand over my face and looked across the room. Kieran hadn't moved much since I'd dragged him onto the mattress hours ago. One arm still dangled over the edge, his blonde hair had surrendered completely to sleep, and the permanent crease between his brows had finally disappeared. For once, the king of the ice looked nothing like the arrogant captain everyone feared and admired. He looked... peaceful. Dangerous in a completely different way.A quiet laugh escaped me before I could stop it. "You're unbelievable, Gorgeous," I murmured under

Chapter: chapter sixChapter 6Aiden's POVFor a long moment, I simply stood there with my arms folded across my chest, looking down at the impossible man sprawled across my bedroom floor. Even unconscious, Kieran Ashcroft somehow managed to look like he'd picked a fight with gravity and lost with remarkable confidence. A reluctant smirk found its way onto my face before I could stop it. Of all the places in the city this stubborn idiot could have collapsed, he had somehow chosen my room. My room. I slowly crouched beside him, the amusement softening into something quieter as I brushed a few unruly strands of blond hair away from his forehead. My fingers lingered longer than they should have, tracing the line of his temple almost absentmindedly before my thumb ghosted lightly over his cheek. "You fool," I whispered, my voice barely louder than the silence around us. "Why do you always have to make things harder for me?"I let out a slow breath, forced myself to pull my hand away and shrugged off my jacket

Chapter: chapter fiveChapter fiveAidens povThe café door clicked shut behind me, but Damien's words refused to stay inside with him. They followed me across the pavement, settled beside me as I unlocked my car and climbed into the driver's seat, then lingered in the suffocating silence while I stared through the windshield without seeing a single thing beyond it. My fingers rested loosely around the steering wheel, yet they felt strangely numb, as though my body had driven away while the rest of me remained sitting across from Damien, still trying to understand how a simple conversation had unraveled into a confession I never saw coming.I should have started the engine immediately. Instead, I sat there until another customer squeezed past my car with an apologetic smile, snapping me back into the present. The engine finally rumbled to life beneath me, but my thoughts refused to move with it. Streetlights slipped past the windows in blurred streaks of gold, traffic lights changed from red to green witho

Chapter: chapter fourChapter FourKieran's POVThe address appeared in the team group chat barely twenty minutes before the party, dropped there without explanation alongside nothing but a location pin and a message from Rowan that read, Stop asking questions and just get here. Naturally, nobody listened. The chat exploded almost immediately with wild guesses about who owned a mansion large enough to host half the university, yet Rowan refused to answer a single one, replying only with laughing emojis that somehow made everyone even more curious. By the time I pulled into the driveway, I understood why he'd kept quiet. The place was obscene. Luxury cars lined both sides of the entrance, music pulsed through the walls hard enough to make the windows tremble, and students covered the front lawn with bottles already in their hands. I killed the engine, stepped out into the cool night air and stared at the mansion for a second longer than necessary, wondering who in their right mind would trust Rowan enou
