Mag-log inI stared at the text for the tenth time.
Jax: My place. 8pm. Don’t make me wait, slave.
My thumb hovered over the reply button. I should tell him to leave me alone or maybe even block him and focus on earning my spot on the team the right way.
But still , I typed on my way and clicked sent.
Jax lived off-campus in an apartment building near the rink, am sure it's probably paid for by his family or some scholarship perk.
The doorman didn’t even blink when I gave his name. By the time I reached his entrance door, my heart was beating fast like I was about to step on the ice for a championship game.
Before I could knock, he opened the door shirtless, sweatpants hanging low on his hips.
The sight of him made my mouth go dry.
“You’re late,” he said, with his voice flat.
“Two minutes.”
Jax grabbed my hoodie and yanked me inside, kicking the door shut. He pushed me against the door immediately with one hand on my throat, the other already shoving under my waistband.
“Rules,” he growled against my lips. “You come when I say. You speak when I say. You’re mine to use, break, and put back together. Understand?”
I nodded, already half-hard.
“Words, Ethan.”
“Yes… Sir.”
His eyes darkened with approval. “Good boy.”
He didn’t waste time. Within minutes I was stripped naked in his bedroom, he bounded my wrists behind my back with a hockey skate lace he’d clearly prepared. He uses a black silk tie as a blindfold. My body narrowed to the sound, his touch, and his voice.
“On your knees.” he commanded
I dropped to my knees, the carpet bit into my skin but he didn't care instead Jax’s hand fisted in my hair as he fed me his cock, slow and deep while controlling every inch.
I choked so hard that tears soaked the blindfold, but I took it.
Every thrust, every groan he gave me satisfied that twisted part of me that craved for this and more.
He pulled out just before he came, breathing ragged. “Not yet.”
He dragged me to the bed, bent me over the edge, ass up. Then he whipped his belt across my ass and that made me cry out. Pain flooded my body hot and sharp, followed by his palm soothing the sting.
“You think you deserve to be captain?” Another strike. “You think you can take what’s mine?”
“No, Sir,” I gasped.
“Louder.”
“No!”
He spanked me until my ass was burning and my cock was leaking onto his sheets. Then he was inside me raw, thick, and hard. No slow movement, just deep and rough while spanking me with punishing strokes that made the bed creak and my bound hands strain uselessly.
“Say it again,” he demanded, hand wrapping around my throat from behind. “Who owns this hole?”
“You do, Jax. Oh fuck, you alone.”
He pushed me to the edge mercilessly, as his thrust deepened and became faster. He finally brought me to the brink with his hand and cock, then stopped but just for a second before he turned me over again, rough and fast until I began sobbing, begging with a broken dry voice.
“Please… let me come. Please, Sir.”
Only then did he finally let go. I came so hard my vision whited out behind the blindfold, body shaking violently. Jax followed right after, burying himself deep and filling me with a loud groan.
For a few minutes afterward, he stayed inside me, stroking my back almost gently. He loosened the blind fold, gently untied my wrists and pulled me against his chest.
“You did good,” he murmured, pressing a surprisingly soft kiss to my temple. “My perfect little slave.”
I hated how much those words warmed me but I loved the way he sounded soft now, but it didn’t last.
He rolled away, grabbing his phone like I was just another workout completed. “Shower if you want, then go. We have early practice tomorrow.”
The harsh way he sent me away stung worse than the belt.
I cleaned up in silence, legs still shaky. As I pulled on my clothes, Jax spoke from the doorway.
“Tomorrow after practice, equipment room again and Ethan?” His eyes were still. “No one finds out, if you breathe a word, and I find out I’ll make sure you never see the ice again.”
I nodded, throat tight, and left.
The next day’s practice was torture. Every shift of my weight reminded me of the marks hidden under my gear. Jax was still the perfect captain on the ice, loud, focused and unmoved but every time our eyes met, I felt owned.
During scrimmage, he checked me into the boards harder than necessary. As he helped me up, his gloved hand squeezed my ass discreetly.
“Still feeling me?” he whispered.
I shoved him off, as my face started turning red.
In the locker room, one of the guys Tyler, our goalie gave me a weird look. “You and Rivera got some old beef or something? You two are weird around each other lately.”
“Just adjusting to the new team,” I muttered but
Tyler didn’t look convinced.
Later, alone in my dorm, my phone buzzed.
Jax: Good boys get rewards, while bad ones get punished. You’ve been thinking too much today. My place again tonight, bring the skate laces.
I stared at the screen, as shame and excitement were warring. A zooms I got dressed to go to him again, a new text came in from Coach.
Coach: Team meeting tomorrow. We’re voting on additional leadership roles. Some of the guys think you’ve got captain 6yyy, Kane. Show up ready.
My stomach tightened. If Jax found out things would get more ugly.
Jax had been awake since before sunrise. The phone sat on the nightstand face-up, screen dark, but he kept reaching for it every few minutes anyway. The message he never meant to send was still sitting there, delivered and unanswered. Gerald appeared in the doorway with two mugs. He set one on the table near the bed and stayed standing. “You’ve checked that phone six times since I came upstairs,” he said. “What’s going on?” Jax didn’t look at him. “Nothing.” “Try again.” Jax’s jaw flexed. He picked up the phone, locked it, then unlocked it again like the action might change something. “I sent Ethan a message last night.” Gerald raised an eyebrow. “On purpose?” “No.” Jax’s voice was tight. “I typed it, deleted it. Went downstairs for water and when I came back it was sent.” “What did it say?” Jax hesitated, then muttered, “I asked about his leg, properly. Not the surface version.” Gerald was quiet for a second. “And?” “He hasn’t answered.” Before Gerald could rep
Gerald parked in the usual spot and turned off the engine. Jax sat still for a few seconds longer than necessary, staring at the rink entrance.“Yesterday was just a short visit,” Gerald said. “Today is the full session. You’re here for the entire practice. You sit where the coach told you and you stay quiet unless someone speaks to you first. Clear?”Jax pushed the door open carefully. “Clear.”Inside, the sound of skates cutting ice hit him at the same time. Coach was already on the bench side of the boards. When he saw them, he gave a short nod.“Rivera, glad you made it. Designated area is the second row behind the home bench. Stay there for the full session. No walking the boards, no calling out, no stepping onto the ice. Understood?”“Yes, Coach.”That was all. Coach turned back to the ice without another word.Gerald led Jax to the seats. A few teammates noticed him as they skated past during warm-ups. One of the defensemen gave a small nod. Another raised a gloved hand briefly
The silence from the night before still hung in the apartment the next morning. Jax had barely slept. He sat on the edge of the bed in the same position Gerald had left him with his phone face-down beside him, the unsent message about Ethan’s leg still sitting in the drafts.Gerald appeared in the doorway, already dressed with the car keys in hand.“Get up. We have an appointment.”Jax looked at him. “What appointment?”“Follow-up with the doctor. Concussion and ribs. I scheduled it yesterday while you were staring at your phone. We’re going.”Jax didn’t move right away. The weight of the previous night’s conversation still pressed on him—Gerald’s words about control, about not knowing how to love because he didn’t know how to care for himself, about Tyler stepping into the empty space. He had no argument left that didn’t sound like an excuse.“I don’t need another lecture from a doctor,” he muttered.“This isn’t a lecture. It’s clearance or the lack of it. Either way, you’re going.”
The next day in the morning Gerald’s phone rang while he was in the kitchen. He glanced at the screen, then answered.“Coach.”“Gerald,How is he?”“Awake, but still in pain and he's restless but stable. His ribs are the main issue right now, his concussion symptoms have mostly settled.”“Good.” The coach’s voice was flat, businesslike. “I need you to hear this clearly. His spot on the team is not guaranteed. Full medical clearance is the minimum after that he comes back on probation. No captaincy or special treatment. He follows every instruction I give him or he sits permanently, if it comes to that.”Gerald leaned against the counter. “I understand.”“I’m not sure he does. The suspension happened for a reason. The material that got out those videos and pictures put the whole team under scrutiny. I suspended both of them because the relationship was affecting performance and discipline. Ethan took the conditions seriously. He showed up, did the extra work, kept his mouth shut, and ea
Jax sat on the couch with a pillow behind his back and another under his arm to keep pressure off the ribs. The bandage around his middle felt tight every time he breathed. His head still throbbed in a low, steady pulse.Gerald dropped a small pharmacy bag on the coffee table and sat on the edge of the opposite chair.“Listen carefully,” he said. “You’re here for the next ten days at least. Medication every six hours. Ice the ribs three times a day. No alcohol, no driving and no disappearing in the middle of the night. You need something, you tell me. You feel worse, you tell me. Clear?”Jax’s jaw tightened. “I can take care of myself.”“That’s what you said before you ended up on a bar floor with your face split open.”“I didn’t ask to come here.”“No, you didn’t but I decided for you because the alternative was you going back to that empty apartment and doing something even dumber.”Jax looked away. “You’re acting like I’m some kind of project.”“I’m acting like someone who got a ca
Jax’s cousin shoved the bar door open hard enough that it slammed against the wall. The place still smelled of spilled beer, blood, and cheap cologne. Security was herding the last of the troublemakers out the back while the bartender wiped down a sticky table with a stained rag.“Where is he?” the cousin demanded.The bartender jerked his chin toward the far corner. “Over there. We pulled the other guys off him, but he took a beating. Are you his family?”The cousin didn’t answer because he was already moving.Jax was half-sitting against the wall, one leg stretched out, the other bent. Blood had dried in a dark line from his split lip down his chin with one eye swollen and nearly shut. His breath was slow and shallow, like every inhale hurt.“Jesus Christ, Jax.” The cousin dropped to his knees in front of him. “What the hell did you do?”Jax’s good eye cracked open. His voice was rough, almost slurred. “Didn’t… start it.”“Doesn’t look like you finished it either.” The cousin’s hand
