Theo~

I stayed leaning against my car long after Benito hung up, the parking lot emptying slowly around me as the sun dipped lower in the sky. The phone felt heavy in my hand, still warm from how tightly I’d gripped it during the call. His words kept echoing in my head, over and over, like a nightmare I couldn’t wake up from.

“You need to leave Noah. I’ll expose both of you.” The threat had lodged itself deep in my chest, making it hard to breathe properly. The happiness I had felt this morni

  • Beneath The Ice : Claimed By My Stepbrother    No Longer A Relationship

    Theodore~I stood frozen outside the abandoned ice rink, the cold evening air biting through my hoodie and raising goosebumps along my arms. Benito’s words hung between us like smoke—“Five minutes won’t be enough to tell you who’s trying to destroy your life.” My chest tightened, every instinct screaming to bolt back to the car and pretend none of this was happening. But my feet stayed planted on the cracked pavement, arms folded tight across my chest as I stared him down.“You’ve got five minutes,” I said, voice flat.Benito let out a tired laugh that didn’t reach his eyes. “I’ll need more than that.”I didn’t smile. “Then start talking.”He took a long breath, shoulders slumping further under the weight of whatever he carried. The abandoned rink loomed behind him, its broken windows dark and empty like forgotten eyes watching us. “I never applied to Blackwood.”I frowned hard, the confusion cutting through the fear for a second. “What?”“I was transferred.” He shoved his hands deepe

  • Beneath The Ice : Claimed By My Stepbrother    One More Lie

    Theodore~I woke up after barely sleeping and right beside me, Noah was already awake, moving quietly around the room as he prepared for the day. Everything looked... normal. Too normal. The familiar rumple of sheets, the faint scent of his cologne lingering in the air, the soft sounds of him in the kitchen. Yet none of it brought the comfort it should have. Guilt twisted sharply in my chest the moment I heard him humming softly to himself, a tuneless melody that usually made me smile.I dragged myself out of bed and joined him in the kitchen, where the aroma of fresh coffee and sizzling bacon filled the space. Noah turned as I entered, his face lighting up with that warm, easy smile that always reached his eyes. It hit me like a punch—how much I didn’t deserve this moment after agreeing to meet Benito alone.“Morning,” he said, sliding a plate toward me across the counter. “Figured you could use a good breakfast before classes. You were tossing and turning most of the night.”I force

    Theo~I stayed leaning against my car long after Benito hung up, the parking lot emptying slowly around me as the sun dipped lower in the sky. The phone felt heavy in my hand, still warm from how tightly I’d gripped it during the call. His words kept echoing in my head, over and over, like a nightmare I couldn’t wake up from. “You need to leave Noah. I’ll expose both of you.” The threat had lodged itself deep in my chest, making it hard to breathe properly. The happiness I had felt this morning while waking up tangled with Noah now seemed so far away, fragile and threatened by forces I didn’t fully understand.Eventually I forced myself to get in the car and start driving. The familiar roads blurred past the windows, but my mind was miles away, replaying every conversation I’d ever had with Benito. All those late nights talking about life, the way he had listened when I vented about Noah, the easy laughter we shared how much of it had been real? How much had been part of whatever ga

  • Beneath The Ice : Claimed By My Stepbrother    The Price

    Theo~I woke up tangled with Noah and drove with him to Blackwood that morning, but the happiness of us getting back together couldn’t completely quiet the storm still brewing inside me. The drive felt awkward in the best possible way. Noah kept reaching across the console to hold my hand, his fingers warm and sure around mine. Every time he did it, my chest tightened with a mix of happiness and fear.“You need both hands on the wheel,” I complained, though I didn’t pull away.“I’m multitasking,” he replied with that easy grin that always made my stomach flip.“You’re going to kill us.”“I’ll die happy.”I rolled my eyes but couldn’t stop the smile that tugged at my lips anyway. When we finally pulled into campus, Noah leaned over and kissed me slow and deep, like he was making up for all the lost time. I pulled back quickly, glancing around the parking lot.“What?” he asked, amusement dancing in his eyes.“People.”“So?”“We’re at school.”Noah grinned wider. “Coward.”I shoved his

  • Beneath The Ice : Claimed By My Stepbrother    Morning After

    Theo~I woke up first, the room still dim with early morning light filtering through the curtains. For a few disorienting seconds, confusion clouded my mind as I registered the unfamiliar weight draped across my waist and the steady warmth pressed against my back. Then it hit me all at once—Noah. His arm was curled possessively around me, fingers splayed over my stomach, and the memories from last night flooded in without mercy. The raw argument that had shattered everything between us, the desperate confession that had cracked my heart wide open, the way his mouth had claimed mine like he was starving, and finally, the unrelenting intensity of him inside me, fucking me deep and dirty until I came apart screaming his name. A slow, involuntary smile curved my lips. Last night hadn’t been some fevered dream. It was real. He was here, tangled up in the sheets with me, and for the first time in months, the heavy knot of anger and longing in my chest had loosened into something warm and

  • Beneath The Ice : Claimed By My Stepbrother    Ours

    Noah~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

    Noah~I’d seen a lot of people try to fake control before.Athletes, especially. Hockey guys were the worst for it. All that chest-beating, loud voices and hard eyes, like if they looked confident enough nobody would notice they were falling apart inside. I had absolutely no idea why the fuckers co

    Theodore~I should've fucking said no. That was the first thought that hit me when I saw the moving truck pull up but the second thought was far worse.Why is he actually here?I stood by the window of my dorm, arms crossed, watching like it was some kind of bad joke the universe was trying to sel

    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
