CHAPTER 56

TYLER

The bathroom still smelled like sex.

“Mason, go,” I hissed, shoving him lightly toward the door. “You first.”

He blinked, still flushed, hair a mess. “What? No, we can leave together—”

“Absolutely not.” I grabbed a tissue, glaring. “Do you want my dad to see us come out of the bathroom at the same time?”

Mason smirked. “Kinda hot if he did.”

I froze. “You’re joking.”

“Relax, Reyes. I’ll go.” He brushed a kiss against my temple before unlocking the door. “Ten minutes, okay?”

I nodded, exhaling as he slipped out.

Then I turned back to the mirror.

My cheeks were red, my lips swollen, a faint mark already darkening along my neck. I groaned, grabbing more tissues, frantically dabbing, fixing, erasing. I ran cold water over my wrists, trying to cool down my flushed skin.

When I was done, I pulled out the tiny bottle in my blazer pocket — not perfume exactly, more like a travel-size body mist. My mom always shoved one into my suits before events.

“Thank God,” I muttered, sp

  • Craving The Enemy   CHAPTER 66

    CHAPTER 66MASONI barely had time to toss my gear into the locker when footsteps echoed behind me.Sharp. Fast. Angry.Then—smack.My head jerked sideways. My cheek stung.“What the—Tyler?”His chest heaved, eyes blazing. “That picture. That’s why you’ve been acting like an asshole all day?”I blinked. “You slapped me.”“Answer the question!”I scoffed, rubbing my jaw. “What do you expect me to think? You had her on your lap, kissing you like—”“I pushed her away!” His voice cracked with fury. “I didn’t kiss her. She kissed me. And you—” He jabbed a finger at me. “—decided I was the villain.”I opened my mouth. Closed it. “You didn’t exactly fight her off instantly—”“Are you f*cking kidding me?” His laugh was sharp, bitter. “You don’t believe me. Even after everything?”The words sliced through me.He shook his head, stepping back. “You know what, forget it. Think what you want. I’m done explaining myself to you.”“Tyler—”“No!” His shout echoed in the empty locker room. “You don’t

    MASONThe first thing I saw that morning wasn’t Tyler’s face.It was my phone.And the headline.“Hockey’s Golden Boy Tyler Reyes Caught in Heated Club Kiss.”Underneath, a grainy shot of Tyler in that stupid dim club lighting — some girl straddling him, her mouth mashed against his.Perfect. Just perfect.I stared at it so long I forgot to breathe. My chest went tight, stomach hollow, like someone had sucker-punched me.Last night I’d fallen asleep with him in my arms, his hair in my face, his voice still rasping in my ears. And this morning? The internet thought he was out there tasting random girls like he hadn’t had me moaning under him hours before.I threw my phone onto the pillow and dragged a hand down my face.“Idiot,” I muttered. At him. At me. At all of it.He wasn’t even awake yet — sprawled across his side of the bed, lips parted, looking way too damn peaceful for someone who’d just made me look like a clown.I showered, dressed, and left without waiting for him.Breakfas

    TYLER I couldn’t feel my legs.My whole body was still trembling when Mason finally loosened his hold on me, his forehead pressed to mine, both of us catching our breath in the quiet room.“Holy shit,” I whispered, my voice raspy, chest still heaving.Mason chuckled softly, pressing a kiss to the corner of my mouth. “Holy shit is right. You’re… unreal.”“Don’t get all sentimental on me,” I mumbled, collapsing onto his chest. My face felt hot, but his skin was hotter. His heartbeat thundered under my cheek.His arms wrapped around me instantly, like they belonged there. “Not sentimental. Just facts,” he said, his voice low and lazy, like he could fall asleep right then.I rolled my eyes even though he couldn’t see it. “You say that every time.”“And every time, I mean it,” he shot back, brushing his lips over my hair.Silence stretched for a moment, not uncomfortable, just heavy with everything I didn’t know how to say. I curled closer instead, letting his warmth seep into me. His thu

    CHAPTER 63TYLER The next morning, I thought my legs had officially filed for divorce. Every step onto the rink was like a private joke between my thighs and Mason’s smug face. But somehow, I was in a good mood.Yeah, Markus was still throwing his usual daggers from the sidelines — “lazy stride, Reyes,” “you’ll never make nationals if you keep dragging,” “try to skate like you’re not carrying baggage.”Normally, it would’ve ruined me. Today? I just let the insults slide right off me like sweat on the ice.Maybe it was because I’d already been ruined last night. Thoroughly.I bit the inside of my cheek to stop the grin threatening to break my face. If I started smiling mid-drill, the guys would know something was up. Mason caught my eye across the rink, and I swear his smirk nearly sent me flat on my ass.“Reyes, focus!” Markus barked.I nodded like a dutiful soldier, but inside? I was laughing.After drills, I tugged my skates off and stretched out my sore calves. Malik plopped down

    CHAPTER 62MASONI thought I was the one running the show.Tyler was straddling me, kissing me like he was going to burn the whole place down if I let go. His hands were in my hair, his tongue deep in my mouth, his body pressed so tight against me I swore I could feel his heartbeat.And then—He pulled back, breathing hard, lips swollen and wet, his eyes locked on mine with a look that sent heat straight to my gut.“What are you—” I started.But then he slid off my lap. Onto the floor.Onto his knees.My whole body froze. “Tyler…”His hands were already on my waistband, tugging it down with this reckless determination that made my pulse skyrocket.“Tyler, wait—”“No,” he cut me off, looking up at me with a daring smirk that nearly destroyed me. “Don’t tell me to stop. You’ve had your turn. Now it’s mine.”Holy. Fuck.I couldn’t breathe. Couldn’t think. All I could do was watch as he freed me from my sweats, his hand wrapping around me, slow, teasing, like he wanted me to beg.“Jesus,

  • Craving The Enemy   CHAPTER 61

    CHAPTER 61TYLERI woke up to warmth.Not the kind of warmth from sunlight or too many blankets, but the steady, solid kind—the kind that came from a body pressed against mine.Mason’s body.His face was right there, barely inches away. Eyes closed, lashes dark against his skin, mouth relaxed. He looked infuriatingly peaceful, like he hadn’t spent half the week driving me crazy, pushing me to the edge, testing me in ways I never wanted to admit out loud.And God, I hated myself for staring.My chest tightened. My father’s voice filled my head—sharp, clipped, always disgusted. Men don’t do this. It’s unnatural. If you ever—I squeezed my eyes shut, jaw clenched. I’d been carrying that poison for years, shoving every thought, every glance, every impulse into some locked-up corner of myself. Pretending. Performing. Being exactly what he demanded.But here, in this retreat, away from the perfect Reyes family image, I’d already cracked. Mason had kissed me. Touched me. Made me feel things
