ADRIAN'S POV

The phone buzzes against the polished wood of the nightstand, shattering the silence of the apartment. Adrian glances at the screen. Brian. It’s a name that used to appear daily, a signal for a quick, hard fuck to blow off steam, but lately, the frequency has dropped to near zero. Adrian swipes to answer, his thumb hovering over the end button as he considers declining. He hasn't called Brian in weeks, not since Ryder crashed into his life and took up residence in his head, cr

  • My Off-limits Professor... But He's Mine (MM Romance)   CHAPTER 37 ~ EX CAPTAIN

    RYDER'S POV The paper lies on the ice, stark white against the scarred, gray surface, soaking up the cold. It’s a formal notice, heavy with official letterhead, but right now it’s just trash on the ice. "You’re done," Miller says, his voice low and dangerous, cutting through the hum of the cooling system. "You are not worthy of being captain of this team. Effective immediately, you are stripped of your title. Get off my ice. Now." The shock ripples through the rink, a collective gasp that sucks the air right out of the massive space. Twenty pairs of skates stop scraping. The silence is heavier than the pads Ryder wears. He stands there, his chest heaving, staring at the letter lying near his skates. His heart hammers against his ribs like a trapped bird, the pulse throbbing in his ears so loud it drowns out the distant Zamboni engine. He drags his eyes away from the paper to Kai. Kai is wiping a smear of bright red blood from his mouth with the back of a gloved hand, his to

  • My Off-limits Professor... But He's Mine (MM Romance)   CHAPTER 36 ~ CAPTAIN RYDER

    RYDER'S POV The sharp scent of Zamboni polish mixes with the thick, suffocating stench of male sweat, hanging heavy in the cool air of the rink. Skates carve vicious paths into the ice, the sound a rhythmic shhh-crack, shhh-crack that echoes off the high, barren walls. Coach Miller stands at the center circle, his face a twisted mask of frustration, barking orders that cut through the heavy breathing of the team. "Keep your fucking knees up, Carter! You’re skating like a toddler on a frozen pond! Focus! I need you animals sane for the game, not a bunch of limp-dicked losers gasping for air!" Miller roars, his spit flying onto the pristine white surface. Ryder skates past the bench, his lungs burning like he’s inhaling broken glass. His thighs scream with every lunge, the burn of lactic acid flooding his muscles, but the physical agony is a welcome distraction from the toxic mess boiling in his gut. His eyes lock onto Kai, who is skating a few yards ahead on the opposite side

  • My Off-limits Professor... But He's Mine (MM Romance)   CHAPTER 35 ~ BYE BRIAN

    ADRIAN'S POV For three weeks, the silence between Adrian and Ryder has been a physical thing, a dense, invisible wall erected in the lecture hall and across the campus. They don't avoid each other with obvious drama; there are no slammed doors or pointed glares. Instead, there is a rigorous, professional politeness that feels colder than ice. Ryder doesn’t look at Adrian with that hungry, heat-heavy gaze that used to strip the professor bare from across the room, and Adrian ensures his eyes slide past the hockey player as if he were just another face in the crowd. It is an unspoken truce, a mutual agreement to pretend the sweat-slicked, frantic encounters never happened. Adrian throws himself into the rhythm of the semester, burying his confusion under piles of grading and faculty meetings. But the campus rumor mill is a relentless beast. Whispers follow Ryder in the hallways—tales of a pregnant girl, a shotgun wedding, a star athlete settling down into domestic life. Adrian he

  • My Off-limits Professor... But He's Mine (MM Romance)   CHAPTER 34 ~ THE UNSPOKEN WORD

    RYDER'S POV The doorbell chimes echo into the silence of the porch, a sharp sound that cuts through the cool evening air. Ryder stands on the welcome mat, shoulders hunched under the weight of a game lost and a mood soured by something he can’t quite name. He waits, counting the seconds as they drag by. No footsteps. No shout of ‘coming!’. The house remains dark and still. He sighs, the sound rattling in his chest, and turns on his heel, ready to retreat into the night and find solace at the bottom of a bottle somewhere else. The latch clicks. The door swings open before Ryder can take a step. There he is. Adrian. He stands in the doorway, framed by the yellow light of the hallway. He is shirtless, his skin pale and smooth, the definition of his abs catching the shadows in a way that makes Ryder’s mouth go dry. A pair of low-slung sweatpants hangs off his hips, leaving very little to the imagination. Adrian’s lips are pushed out in a full, exaggerated pout, a look of pure ann

  • My Off-limits Professor... But He's Mine (MM Romance)   CHAPTER 33 ~ SUFFOCATED

    RYDER'S POV The scent of cinnamon and burnt sugar clings to the air, a cloying, sweet perfume that signals his mother’s presence long before he sees her. Ryder steps into the foyer, the heavy oak door clicking shut behind him, and immediately the aroma wraps around his throat like a chokehold. He doesn’t call out a greeting. He doesn’t pause to kick off his sneakers by the mat. Instead, he grips the strap of his backpack until his knuckles turn white and marches up the stairs, each step a dull thud against the carpet. He reaches his room and twists the lock, the metal latch sliding into place with a sharp snick. Only then does he let the bag slide off his shoulder, hitting the floor with a heavy thud. He toes off his shoes, not bothering to untie the laces, and kicks them into the corner. The silence of his room does nothing to quiet the storm raging in his skull. Bankruptcy. The word tastes like ash. His parents had lost everything, decided to hide the crumbling foundation o

  • My Off-limits Professor... But He's Mine (MM Romance)   CHAPTER 32 ~ MY SECRET

    RYDER'S POV He spots them immediately—his parent, standing near the registrar’s desk like they own the institution given his father’s usual business posture, they might as well. Ryder's father Austin wears a sharp, charcoal suit that strains slightly at the shoulders, his posture rigid and commanding. And Ryder's mother Angel draped in a silk blouse that clings to her curves, scans the crowd with eyes that have always seen too much and too little at the same time. Ryder stops a few feet away, his brow furrowing deep enough to cause a headache. He checks his phone again—no missed calls, no texts. Nothing. He shoves the device into his pocket, the leather case smacking against his thigh. "What are you doing here?" Ryder asks, his voice cutting through the ambient noise. He doesn't move to embrace them, his hands remaining clenched at his sides. "Why didn't you call before flying back to the country? You don't just show up." Austin turns slowly, his face a mask of hardened jud
