Theodore~

The entire lecture was hell.

Not because the professor was boring or because I didn’t understand what was being taught. I usually liked this class. It was one of the few places where my brain normally shut up long enough for me to focus on something useful.

Today?

Absolutely fucking not.

Because Noah sat two rows behind me the entire time.

I could feel him there.

Every single second. It didn’t even make sense because he wasn’t touching me, wasn’t speaking, wasn’t doing anything at all

  • Beneath The Ice : Claimed By My Stepbrother    Hurt

    Noah~The weird thing was that after talking to Theo, I actually slept. Not well. I was not about to lie to myself. I still woke up twice during the night and reached for my phone out of habit before remembering Theo was only one room away now. I still spent ten minutes staring at my ceiling wondering if I had completely messed everything up.But it was different. For the first time in months, I was not wondering where I stood with him. I knew. Somewhere. Maybe not where I wanted to be. Definitely not where I wanted to be. But somewhere. Theo had asked for time. He had not asked me to disappear. That was enough. Barely. But enough.I was halfway through making coffee the next morning when Jeff walked into the kitchen. He looked at me. Then at the mug in my hand. Then back at me again. “You look less miserable.”I frowned. “Is that supposed to be a compliment?”“It is an observation.”“I will take it.”He nodded once before opening the fridge. “I was starting to think I would have to s

  • Beneath The Ice : Claimed By My Stepbrother    Hell

    Theo~The problem with Noah was that the second he got even the smallest amount of hope, he looked at you like he had already won. I hated that. Mostly because it made me want to give in.I stood in my doorway staring at him while my heart tried to punch its way through my ribs. Time. That was all I had said. Three stupid words. And somehow Noah looked happier than he had in months. Which immediately made me want to take them back. Not because I did not mean them. Because I did. That was the problem.For weeks I had been convincing myself that distance was helping. Then I came home, saw another girl sitting on his lap, nearly had a breakdown in the living room, and now Noah was standing here looking at me like I had personally handed him a winning lottery ticket.I rubbed both hands over my face. “This is exactly why I did not want to come home.”Noah’s smile disappeared immediately. Good. Not good. Shit. I did not know. The point was that he looked normal again. Less hopeful. Less da

  • Beneath The Ice : Claimed By My Stepbrother    NOAH

    Noah~The problem was that I had absolutely no idea what the hell had just happened.One second Theo was standing in the living room staring at me like I had committed a crime. The next he was running upstairs after claiming he did not care. Which would have been believable if he had not looked ready to murder Ava thirty seconds earlier.I stood there for a long moment after his bedroom door slammed shut. Just staring at the stairs. Jeff walked into the room carrying a beer and immediately looked between me and the front door. “Where is Theodore?”I looked away. “Upstairs.”Jeff frowned. “Thought he was not coming back until tomorrow.”“So did I.”He nodded slowly. Then his eyes landed on me. Unfortunately. Parents always knew when something was wrong. Jeff had never been the most emotionally available man, but even he was not blind. “What happened?”“Nothing.”His eyebrow lifted. The exact same expression Nikolai used whenever he knew I was full of shit. “Right.”I rubbed my face. “I

  • Beneath The Ice : Claimed By My Stepbrother    Real Mature

    Theo~The second the words left my mouth, I regretted them. Not because I did not want to know. Because I had absolutely no right to ask. The realization hit me immediately, but unfortunately my mouth had already beaten my brain to the finish line.Nobody spoke. The girl was still half sitting on Noah’s lap, looking between us like she had just walked into the middle of an argument she did not understand. Which, to be fair, she had.Noah stared at me. I stared right back. My heart pounded so hard it was annoying. I had just spent weeks convincing myself I needed distance. Weeks telling myself I was better off away from him. Weeks rebuilding some version of normal. Then I walked through the front door and apparently forgot all of that.Good job, Theodore. Really mature.The girl finally cleared her throat. “Um
”Nobody looked at her. That probably was not helping. Noah stood up carefully, causing her to slide off his lap onto the couch cushion beside him. “What are you doing home?” he

  • Beneath The Ice : Claimed By My Stepbrother    What The Fuck?!

    Theo~ Finally, we reached the game day we had all been training for. By the time we got to the third period, every single person in the arena was losing their mind. Including me. The score sat tied at three-three. Nobody had managed to break it for nearly fifteen minutes. Every shift felt heavier than the last. Every hit rattled through my body. Every time I jumped over the boards, it felt like somebody had turned gravity up another level. The crowd was not helping. They were loud as hell. Every near miss got a huge reaction. Every save got a reaction. Every check got a reaction. The entire building felt alive. I bent forward on the bench and sucked in a deep breath while Coach barked instructions that nobody was really listening to anymore. At this point, everybody knew what was at stake. Win this game and we advanced. Lose and we went home. Simple as that. Benito dropped onto the bench beside me. His hair was damp with sweat and his jersey looked like it had survived a small war

  • Beneath The Ice : Claimed By My Stepbrother    Kissed Benito

    Theo~The thing about Benito was that he never seemed to run out of energy. I genuinely did not know how it was possible. The guy trained like a maniac, dominated most of the drills, and still had enough left afterward to drag people out for food like he had not just spent three hours getting slammed into the boards.Meanwhile I felt one bad practice away from collapsing face-first onto the ice.“You’re buying,” Benito said as he walked backward toward the restaurant entrance.I looked up from my phone. “What?”“You’re buying.”“Why?”“Because I’m pretty.”I stared at him. “That is not how money works.”“It should be.”He pushed the door open with a grin. I followed him inside mostly because arguing with Benito was pointless. It was like arguing with a tornado. The tornado would do whatever it wanted anyway.The restaurant was busy and noisy. We had to wait a few minutes for a table. Benito spent that time talking to random people. He did not know any of them, but that did not stop hi

  • Beneath The Ice : Claimed By My Stepbrother    In Love?

    Noah~I didn’t say anything for a second after Theo handed my phone back.The image was still sitting behind my eyes like it had been burned in there. My room. My window. The angle from outside that made my skin feel uncomfortably aware of every place I’d ever stood too close to glass.And the mess

  • Beneath The Ice : Claimed By My Stepbrother    Fake News

    Theo~By second period, I wanted the entire school to collectively shut the fuck up.Unfortunately for me, that was impossible because apparently nobody here had anything better to do than obsess over Noah and Nikolai like they were starring in some trashy reality show.Every corridor conversation

  • Beneath The Ice : Claimed By My Stepbrother    WTF

    Noah~ I already knew something was off before I even fully stepped into the building. It wasn’t dramatic or obvious. Just that familiar shift in how people try too hard to look like they are not looking at you. Conversations lowered slightly as I passed. Not enough to be called silence, but en

  • Beneath The Ice : Claimed By My Stepbrother    Theo Tops

    Theo pulled back just enough for our eyes to meet, and the look he gave me. A raw, needy, little wrecked moan snapped the last thread of restraint I had left. I cupped his face and kissed him hard, tongues sliding hot and urgent. He tasted like relief and desperation, and I drank it in, biting his
