Nate

I zip across the ice furiously, taking the puck from my teammates and slamming it into the goal.

Looking to the side, I see Coach nodding as he watches us.

I don't even know what's wrong with me. It's like I've suddenly got the energy of a two-year-old on a sugar high. All the tension that was seemingly pressing me down is gone. Like, dead gone.

I feel light. The others skate in circles around me and none can succeed in getting the puck off me.

"Nate, share the puck," Coach bellows fr

    Logan"You're hurt," I murmur against his lips, pushing back against him. I mean, I don't even try. With a minimal amount of force, Nate pulls me back in, trapping my lips against his. Our breaths mingling.He grabs my back firmly, and my vision swirls as he flips me over and lands my back against the soft mattress."What the fuck? You wanna do it in here?" I ask, my eyes now eyeing the door. Someone could walk in at any moment, and we could get caught. And somehow, that makes my dick grow even harder in my pants."Do you want me to?""Absolutely not. We could get caught."His face drops slightly."We can only do so much. But come on, think about it. Someone walking in on us with our pants down and inside me?" I raise my brows, and he scrunches his brows up."You don't have to paint the picture so vividly. I'm already hard enough as it is," Nate bites out in-between harsh breaths.I roll to the edge of the bed and sit on it."You're a party pooper," Nate says as he sits by my side."N

    LoganWe all debated it. After everything that just happened, would it be okay for Luke to see Nate in the hospital? Somehow, someway, we did it. We managed to handle it without the other team members finding out and without jeopardizing everyone's future.And now, with Luke having nowhere to stay, literally, the house is the best option for him. That is, if Nate doesn't object. Fingers crossed.As for last night, he crashed with me. According to him, the FBI were still searching his place, and it was off-limits.And in some way, I think it is better. I don't think Luke would ever want to live there again. Must be traumatizing. But then, where would he live?"It's okay," I say as Luke stands at the closed door. Inside the room is Nate, lying on his hospital bed and reading a book.Doctors said no screens, so no phones allowed. And his mom and aunt are literally on vigilante duty with him. That has got to suck, man. I would hate to be him at this point."It's not fucking okay. You saw

    Luke It didn't take long. He finally called. I can count on one hand the number of times my uncle has had to call my phone. I knew better than to disobey my uncle. Garrick is right. I am a coward. I sit on the bed, Jay and Garrick facing me as I pick up the call and put it on loudspeaker. His heavy breathing huffs and puffs from the other side, and then comes his gruff voice. "Boy, do you need me to remind you of your job?" Garrick's eyes meet mine, and he nods. I clear my throat. "Uh. No. I've been really busy with schoolwork and—" "Do I look like I give a fuck?" are my uncle's next words. I can almost see him standing in front of me. Smell the stench of sweat and drugs on his body. Watching his unfocused eyes as he speaks to me. I shut my eyes hard. "I know you don't." "Now get back here immediately." "I... I can't come right now. I'm in the middle of something." "I don't give a fuck when you come, but by the time it's 12 a.m., you're gonna be having a whole lot more to dea

    LukeHe barrels towards me, and just as he swings his fist, I duck, steady my hurt hand, and land a punch in his gut. Same move Logan pulled on me.He sputters and coughs and almost immediately attacks again. This time, before he even reaches me—BAM. A shot rings out, and he stops, eyes wide and examining the area."Put your hands up in the air," Garrick's voice echoes in the dark, cold and menacing. He steps out into the dim light, with his gun pointed at both of us. But I know that the gun is not for me. He wears a vest atop the black shirt he wore with another gun strapped to his thigh.Fuck, he's hot. I mean, objectively.Slowly, I step out of the way, and some men run towards my uncle and force him down to his knees. He falls to the ground like a large building, and his hands are cuffed at his back."You brought the big dogs, eh? Just wait and see. You'll regret this," he sneers before he's taken away.I watch his back retreating as two of the men that Jay brought flank each side

    LoganCoach had made Eli our interim captain. Not to be a dick, and I love my boyfriend, but sometimes I wondered why Eli wasn't the captain in the first place. I mean, Nate is obviously the better player, but Eli has all the qualities of a leader.That is, except they all chose a hotheaded man like Nate. And knowing the team, that's exactly what happened. Besides, we do need a bit of shaking up that only Nate can give.Anyways, that aside, Eli doesn't even seem like he cares in the slightest bit.After practice, we all pack up, and I finish last, passing by the coach's office right as he steps out."Hello there, Hayes." Coach stops me, and I turn to him, bouncing on my feet."Uh, hi, Coach.""How are you?" he asks, and I cock my brow at him."Um.... I'm fine?"He nods his head, contemplating whatever he's about to say. But I know he didn't call me merely to ask how I am."How has Northwood been so far? This is your second semester, and I know you were off to a rocky start last semest
