CHAPTER 15: ELLIOT'S POV

The heat in the room spiked instantly, thick and suffocating.

I didn't back down from his shameless glare. I couldn't. If I flinched now, if I gave him even an inch of space, he would own every single second of this three-day trip.

Adrian didn't wait for me to process his look. He stepped straight into my space, his heavy chest pressing against mine as he crowded me backward. My boots hit the frame of the massive plush bed, my balance giving out as I tumbled back onto

    CHAPTER 16: ELLIOT"What do you want to do about it, Kessaro?" I shot back, stepping straight toward him in the dense fog.I held my chin high, my heart hammering against my ribs as I waited for him to fire back, to trap me against the cedar bench, to turn this into another physical war of words.Instead, Adrian did nothing.He didn't make a witty comeback, he didn't step into my space. He just stared at me through the thick white steam for one long, suffocating second, his dark eyes entirely unreadable. Then, without a single word, he turned on his heel, unlocked the heavy deadbolt, and walked straight out of the steam room, letting the heavy door slam shut behind him.I stood there alone in the hot vapor, completely stunned. It was the first time since we had agreed to this sick surrender bet that Adrian had simply walked away and left me be.Ten minutes later, unable to shake the lingering tension, I decided I’d had enough of the noise. I walked back out to the main pool deck, told

    CHAPTER 15: ELLIOTThe heated outdoor pool was an absolute zoo.All twenty two players from the Boston Vipers roster had taken over the lower deck of the resort. Half the team was splashed out in the steaming water, shouting and throwing a water polo ball across the pool, while the rest lounged on dark wooden deck chairs, nursing cold drinks under the crisp mountain air.I was leaning against the tiled edge in the shallow end, water dripping from my hair, listening to Noah and Jax argue about who had the better wrist shot during the playoffs."I'm telling you, it's not even close," Jax laughed, splashing a wave of water toward Noah. "Marcus couldn't even see the puck!"I chuckled quietly, running a hand through my wet hair, resting my elbows on the pool deck. But the easy, victorious feeling I'd brought down from Room 301 vanished the second a heavy shadow crossed the patio.Adrian had finally come downstairs.He didn't get into the water, didn't grab a towel or talk to anyone. Wearin

He stepped straight into my space, his heavy chest pressing against mine as he crowded me backward. My boots hit the frame of the massive plush bed, my balance giving out as I tumbled back onto the mattress.Before I could spring back up, Adrian hovered over me, his massive frame blocking out the warm overhead light of the suite. He threw one heavy leg over my hips, dropping his weight down until he was straddling my thighs, pinning me flat against the sheets."Get off me, Kessaro," I growled, my hands flying up to grip his wrists, trying to shove his weight off my body.Adrian didn't budge. He leaned down, his face hovering mere inches from mine, his dark eyes sparkling with absolute,

    CHAPTER 14: ELLIOTThe regular season was finally behind us, leaving the team riding high on a four-game winning streak. To celebrate, the Boston Vipers front office granted us a three-day retreat in the mountains—a rare off-grid trip completely free of press, cameras, or Coach’s relentless whistle.The guys were practically bouncing off the locker room walls with excitement. Since Coach wasn't coming, the itinerary was entirely in our hands, starting with the drive up. We agreed to take personal vehicles, three players to a car.I was tossing my duffel bag into the trunk of my own sedan, fully intending to drive Noah and our starting goalie, Marcus, when a massive shadow loomed over me.Before I could even turn around, broad hands locked around my waist. In one swift, humiliating motion, Adrian hoisted me off my feet and hauled me toward his black SUV like a sack of hockey gear."Put me down, Kessaro!" I shouted, kicking my legs wildly against his shins. "What the hell are you doing?

    CHAPTER 13: ELLIOTThe brass door handle rattled violently, but the heavy wooden frame didn't budge an inch.Click. Clack.Someone rattled it again, harder this time, but the lock held firm.I froze, my throat tight, my heart hammering like a trapped bird against my ribs. My eyes darted from the jammed paneling back to Adrian. He hadn't moved an inch. He was still standing right between my open knees, his body pressed flush against mine, his dark eyes sparkling with an unbearable, wicked amusement.He had locked the door. Before he even stepped into the kitchen, before he slammed me onto the counter and put his hands under my shorts, he had quietly turned the deadbolt behind him.A wave of pure, white hot fury surged through me. He had orchestrated the entire thing. He knew the whole time that we were safe, using my fake panic and terror of discovery to keep me paralyzed while he touched me.Yet, beneath the raging fire in my chest, a small, dark wave of relief washed over me. As much

    He knew it. He had me entirely at his mercy, and the dark, satisfied curve of his mouth proved he was enjoying every second of it."Get off me," I gritted out through clenched teeth, my fingers gripping the cool quartz counter behind my back so hard my knuckles turned pale.Instead of pulling away, Adrian deliberately reached down, sliding his hand up the side of my leg. I was wearing a pair of soft, loose athletic shorts, and his long fingers slid effortlessly under the thin fabric. His hot, rough palm grasped the bare skin of my inner thigh, his thumb digging firm into the muscle.A sharp, electric shock shot straight up my spine, paralyzing my vocal cords. My breath hitched loudly in my throat, my eyes widening as his fingers tightened their grip, slowly dragging higher, his thumb tracing a heavy, possessive line toward my hip. Every single place his skin touched mine felt like it was catching fire."You've been so quiet all night, Elliot," Adrian whispered, leaning down until his
