LOGINNoah~Theo stared at me, eyes wide and glassy with shock, lust, and all the months of shit we’d buried. My confession hung between us like smoke “I love you” and for one terrifying second I thought he’d shove me away. Instead, he grabbed my face with both hands and crashed his mouth into mine.The kiss was brutal from the start. No shy brushing of lips. Tongues sliding hot and wet, teeth clacking, spit already slicking our chins. He tasted like salt and desperation. I groaned into his mouth as his fingers twisted in my shirt, yanking me down on top of him. We tumbled onto the bed in a mess of limbs, grinding hard against each other before we even got our clothes off.“Fuck, Noah,” he panted, biting my bottom lip hard enough to sting. “Say it again while you wreck me.”Our clothes disappeared in a frenzy. My shirt flew somewhere. His pants were shoved down his thighs and kicked off the edge of the bed. I ripped his boxers off and finally got my hands on that perfect, tight ass I’d bee
Theo~Practice had already started and I was irritated before I even stepped on the ice. Benito’s question from yesterday would not leave my head. “Would you even notice if someone was?” It kept repeating, no matter how many times I tried to push it away. I told myself he was just joking around like always. Then I remembered the look on his face when he said it. He had not been joking. That made everything feel heavier.Coach noticed me miss an easy pass during drills. “Where’s your head today, Theo?”“Nowhere,” I muttered, skating back into position.Coach did not look convinced, but he let it go. Practice continued and I played well enough. My body knew what to do even when my mind wandered. I just could not shake the distraction completely.When practice finally ended, I showered quickly and started pulling on my hoodie in the locker room. Benito walked over without saying anything. He reached up and brushed a tiny piece of tape out of my hair. The casual touch made me jump.“What

Theo~I woke up the next morning in a surprisingly good mood, the kind that felt foreign after so many heavy weeks. As I stood brushing my teeth in front of the mirror, the realization hit me fully. For the first time in months, I had not woken up with Noah dominating my first thoughts. The usual ache and mental replay of old conversations were absent, leaving an unexpected lightness in my chest. I paused with the toothbrush still in my mouth and stared at my reflection for a long moment, water running unnoticed in the sink. “Well… that is weird,” I muttered to myself, the words muffled but sincere. I brushed it off quickly, telling myself that maybe Melody had been right all along. Perhaps I was finally starting to move on in small but meaningful ways. Shaking my head, I finished getting ready, grabbed my bag, and headed out to campus with more energy than I had felt in recent days.I walked into the morning lecture expecting to find an empty seat somewhere in the middle rows like
CHAPTER 4Theodore~“Mom, you can’t do that!”My voice cracked and pitched higher than I meant it to. I cleared my throat, forcing myself to breathe through my nose before I completely embarrassed myself. Jesus Christ. How could she possibly think this was okay? Sharing a dorm was one thing.Sharin
Theodore~“Do you know the new guy?”Joe’s voice was casual, but I could feel his eyes on me as we walked toward the lockers. I kept mine forward, jaw tight.“No. Why?”“You’re looking at him weirdly.”I let out a dry laugh. “Just because I’m gay doesn’t mean I want to fuck every guy, Joe,” I mutte
A deep groan clawed its way out of my chest as my phone kept vibrating against my nightstand like it had a personal vendetta against me.For a split second, I considered letting it die.It didn’t.I snatched it up without checking the caller ID. “What?!” I barked, voice thick with sleep and last ni
