登入BLURB “This…this is wrong.” I whispered, shivering as Rowan’s fingers traced along the lines of my slit. “Wrong?” Ellis’ lips brushed my neck, his teeth grazing my skin. “Honey, forbidden is what makes it irresistible.” Noah’s lips grazed my ear, his warm breath fanning my ears as his soft voice slipped in. “And you’ll learn… We take what we want.” ***** Isla North had always followed her brother's rules, until she tasted what it was like to break them. Her brother, Asher North, captain of the college hockey team, made one rule when his sister resumed freshman year: “You can fuck with other girls for all I care, but do not go close to my sister.” They all easily agreed; after all, brotherhood came first. Until three men broke that rule—his best friends. Rowan, the teasing and sinfully hot strategist. Ellis, the calm, gorgeously hot destruction, and Noah, the reckless, untamed, and sexily wild. Between secret locker room encounters, broken rules, and nights ending in trembling submission, Isla discovers that forbidden desire is intoxicating and dangerous. The ice isn’t the only thing Isla is playing on. Power, lust, and obsession blur the lines, and once she surrenders… there’s no going back.
查看更多CHAPTER 250 (EPILOGUE)HOME WAS NEVER A PLACEISLAIf someone had told me months ago that this was how my story would end, I would have laughed and cried. Because nothing about my life had ever been simple.Not losing my parents. Not living under my brother’s rigid protection. Not falling in love.And definitely not falling in love three times.Yet there I was, standing in the middle of the rink one last time before summer break officially began, watching the golden lights reflect off the ice. The place that had once been the center of scandal, whispers, betrayal and healing.The first place I'd learned to smile at a stranger. Everything had changed.The suspension didn't last forever. Eventually even the gossip truly died and Victor transferred out under the weight of his own disgrace, the team stabilized. The coach reinstated them after weeks of discipline and silence.Asher and I were… better. He no longer hovered over me like I was fragile glass, and I no longer felt like I had to
CHAPTER 249APOLOGY IS THE BROTHER OF RECONCILIATION NOAHI had never been afraid of Asher. Not when he was pissed after a lost game. Not when he threw the first punch. Not even when he looked at us like we had personally betrayed his bloodline.But as I stood there watching him hug Isla, I felt something unfamiliar settle in my chest.Uncertainty.His back was to us at first. His arms wrapped around her tightly. And for a second, I saw the version of him that existed before all this… just a brother who had lost too much too young.Rowan stood slightly in front of me, protective even now. Ellis’ posture was calm, but I knew him well enough to see the tension in his jaw.When Asher pulled away from Isla and turned toward us, his expression was unreadable. I couldn't read anything hiding behind his eyes. He walked closer to us and none of us moved. The air felt thick, like the moment before a puck drops and we were waiting to see who would take the lead. “We’ve been friends since I g
CHAPTER 248UNLEARNING THE CAGEISLAIt had been a few days since I walked out of my brother’s room and told him to go to hell. A few days since I finally said everything I had swallowed for years and got my chest lighter than it had ever been. The campus was still… harshNot as vicious as before, but not completely kind either. There were still stares, occasional whispers when we passed… but something had changed. We had stopped hiding.Rowan held my hand openly now, his fingers laced with mine like it was the most natural thing in the world. Noah would press a kiss to my temple in the middle of the quad without hesitatio. And Ellis would cup my face and kiss me slowly and deliberately, like he wanted anyone watching to understand that I was not a mistake.The first time it happened publicly, my heart nearly leapt out of my chest.I had braced myself for the gasps, yhe judgment and the disgust. And yes, some of it came, but they didn’t flinch. Not one of them. And when people reali
CHAPTER 247THE WORDS OF MY MIND ISLA I was tired of hiding. Tired of whispering. Tired of shrinking every time someone looked at me like I was something rotten they’d accidentally stepped on.For days, I had let the shame sit on my chest like a stone, let the silence swallow me whole and let Asher’s absence carve a hole straight through my ribs.But that morning, something changed.Maybe it was because of how tired my soul was and it was suddenly angry. Maybe it was because they had been suspended from the team. Maybe it was how they stood by me, regardless of the backlash they were getting. Or maybe I was just done crying. Because suddenly, I wasn’t sad anymore. I was angry.I was angry at everything. At the students who wouldn't mind their business, at the sun that shone too brightly, at Victor. But most of all, I was angry at my brother. Asher hadn’t spoken to me at all. All he had done was shut me out. I stared at my reflection in the mirror before leaving my dorm. My eyes w
CHAPTER 185TOO CLOSE TO BE UNAWARE ISLAHis fingers wrapped around my wrist firmly, pulling me along with him to God knows where. His grip wasn't hurtful, just firm enough to make it clear that he wasn't asking for my permission. “Rowan…” I tried to stop him again, my voice low and conscious of
CHAPTER 183FRAGILE CRACKS IN THE ICE ELLISIt took less than 24 hours for the paper to get to my hand. A warning.That was what it said on the paper now sitting in my locker, folded once, then twice, like if I made it smaller it would mean less. At least, it was just a formal warning and not sus
CHAPTER 177CENTER OF THE ROOMISLAFor a moment after the professor signalled for me to come up front, I was still. I was wondering if he was actually refering to me or maybe my eyes might've deceived me. I was just resuming classes after almost two weeks, why would he want to see me?When he saw
CHAPTER 175TWO VILLAINS IN A BAD DRAMAISLA The smile left my face before I could even realise it. Jade walked in like she owned the hospital room, Lara following half a step behind her, eyes sweeping in a calculative manner. Talia noticed the change in my expression. “Isla? Who’s there?”Withou
