FORBIDDEN: THE ICY MEN'S PLUS-SIZED POSSESSION CHAPTER 10: THE LOCKER ROOM CONFRONTATION
The smell of ozone, damp ice gear, and expensive leather hung heavy in the quiet bowels of the arena. It was seven-thirty in the morning, a full hour before the team was scheduled to assemble for morning skate, and the player locker room was dead silent.I held a small digital scanner in one hand, unhooking the wireless telemetry sensors from the charging cradles lined up along the stalls. My tablet rested on the wooden bench, logging the battery levels and diagnostic checks. Down here, surrounded by stalls bearing famous surnames, the atmosphere felt stripped of corporate polish. It was raw, athletic, and intensely masculine.I reached for the last sensor docked in stall number 87.The nameplate sat high on the dark oak framing: Caius Veyron — C.I paused for half a second, my thumb resting on the cold plastic casing. His stall was immaculately organized…skates pristine, gloves hung neatly, a black leather washbag tucked into the corner. But what drew my eye was a tiny, faded silver
FORBIDDEN: THE ICY MEN'S PLUS-SIZED POSSESSION CHAPTER 9: ECHOES IN THE DARK
The hum of my apartment was deafening in its silence.I sat at my dark oak desk in my home office, lit only by the warm glow of a single brass lamp and the pale light of my open journal. The silk blouse and pencil skirt were draped over the armchair beside me, replaced by a soft, emerald satin robe that pooled around my lap, leaving my shoulders and chest bare to the cool night air.I held my fountain pen over the cream page, the ink pooling slightly before I began to write.October 14th - The weight of today feels different.I paused, tracing the smooth curve of the ink.Seven years ago, I left this city feeling small. Invisible. I hid behind heavy knit sweaters and let Caius Veyron determine my worth in the dark. Today, I stood in his arena, dismantled his arrogant strategy in front of his coaches, and watched him crumble with a single look.And then came Alaric.My breath hitched in my throat as the memory of the penthouse suite rushed back over me. The sheer, overwhelming scale of
FORBIDDEN: THE ICY MEN'S PLUS-SIZED POSSESSION CHAPTER 8: SWEATERS AND SECRETS
By nine o'clock at night, the bullpen was dead quiet.The rows of dual-monitor workstations sat dark, save for the blue glow emanating from my desk in the far corner. I had shed my heels hours ago, resting my bare feet on the carpet, but I kept my emerald silk blouse neatly tucked. The oversized cardigan Mireya had discarded on her office couch was draped over the back of my chair like a relic from a past life.I looked at the gray knit wool, then at my reflection in the dark glass of the window overlooking the city skyline. I didn't reach for it.Instead, I took a sip of cold green tea and kept typing, running multi-variable regression models to prepare the morning briefing for Coach Miller."So, is it true?" a cheerful, boyish voice broke the stillness of the room.I looked up, startled.Leaning against the glass doorframe of the bullpen was Kellan Voss. He was twenty-one, the Wolves' rising rookie star, and a complete golden retriever of a human being. He was dressed in grey sweatp
FORBIDDEN: THE ICY MEN'S PLUS-SIZED POSSESSION CHAPTER 7: A STATISTICS LESSON
"Show me," Alaric commanded softly, stepping closer to the edge of the desk as my screen flared to life.I tapped the trackpad, bringing up the multi-variable scatter plot comparing line production across the entire league over the past five seasons."If you look at the blue vectors," I began, keeping my voice cool and even, "you’ll see our top line’s scoring chances peak during the first six minutes of every period. After that, efficiency drops by nearly eighteen percent whenever we face an aggressive 1-3-1 neutral zone trap."Alaric rested one hand on the edge of the desk, leaning forward slightly. "That’s standard fatigue degradation, Elowen. Every top line in the league experiences a drop in the second half of a period.""Not every top line," I countered, looking up from the glowing screen to meet his dark hazel eyes. "The 2018 Chicago dynasty maintained a flat efficiency curve through all three periods using a rotational left-wing lock. The 2011 Boston squad actually increased th
FORBIDDEN: THE ICY MEN'S PLUS-SIZED POSSESSION CHAPTER 6: ENTER THE PATRIARCH
The glass elevator ascended smoothly toward the penthouse level, humming with quiet, expensive efficiency. As the doors slid open, the chaotic energy of the arena bowl evaporated, replaced by the hushed, imposing atmosphere of the Veyron family suite.Dark walnut paneling, floor-to-ceiling glass overlooking the city skyline, and low leather furniture defined the space. It didn't feel like a sports office; it felt like the nerve center of a billion-dollar empire.I stepped out onto the plush carpet, my heels sinking slightly into the pile. At the far end of the room, behind a massive, slate-gray desk, sat Alaric Veyron.He was reviewing a file on a leather-bound tablet, a glass of amber scotch resting near his hand despite the early hour. Even seated, his presence dominated the entire floor. He was forty-seven, but time had treated him like fine steel…hardening him rather than wearing him down. His thick hair was a dark, commanding mix of silver and black, brushed back neatly from his
FORBIDDEN: THE ICY MEN'S PLUS-SIZED POSSESSION CHAPTER 5: CORNERED IN THE TUNNEL
The heavy iron door of the player tunnel hissed shut behind me, plunging the long subterranean corridor into a dim, amber-tinted twilight. The air down here was thick…smelling of cold ice, damp rubber matting, and the lingering, metallic tang of sweat.It was after hours. The rest of the staff had cleared out, but I’d lingered in the bullpen to finalize the telemetry reports Coach Miller requested. Now, my heels clicked in a slow, rhythmic cadence against the industrial floor as I made my way toward the executive elevators.Then came the footsteps.Fast. Heavy. Unforgiving.Before I could turn, a massive shadow eclipsed the overhead lights. A broad, calloused hand slammed against the concrete wall right beside my ear, the sharp crack echoing like a gunshot down the empty tunnel.I didn't scream. I stood my ground, my pulse taking a sudden, violent leap as I slowly turned my head.Caius was towering over me.He had just come off an extra solo ice session…his hair was damp, sticking in
