LOGINI thought the worst thing I could discover was my girlfriend cheating. I was wrong. The man I caught her with was her stepbrother, Enzo, the hockey captain who had been teasing me for months. After I dumped her, my father forced me to train under Enzo for two months. Now we're living under the same roof. He knows exactly what he wants. Me. He sees through my desires. And the more I fight him, the harder it becomes to deny that I might want him too.

Rhys's POV "Are you out of your damn mind?" The text message lit up my phone screen. It was from Enzo. I dropped my pen and grabbed the phone. I felt absolutely sick and stressed. "What do you mean?" I texted back, thinking he probably saw a mistake in the project I'd sent him. "Check your email, Rhys," Enzo replied instantly. "You just sent me something very interesting." I opened my email app. I looked at the file I had just sent him. I gasped out loud. "I sent the wrong attachment," I typed back frantically. "Please delete the email right now. Do not open the P*F file." "Too late," Enzo replied. "Enzo, I am completely serious. Delete it right now. Do not read it. That file is totally private." "How can a straight guy write such dirty scenes between two men?" Enzo texted back. "I am actually impressed. Who knew the quiet school boy had such a filthy imagination? Chapter four is very descriptive." "Stop reading it," I typed rapidly. "It is for my editor. Just forget you saw anything." "Oh, I am not forgetting this anytime soon, Rhys. This is pure gold." "Are you going to tell Chloe?" I asked, suddenly terrified. "Maybe. Maybe not," Enzo teased. "Depends on my mood." "I will bring the printed project report to your house tonight," I typed, trying to shift the conversation back to our university work. "We can finalize the assignment then. Please just keep this between us." "Looking forward to it," Enzo replied. I tossed my phone onto my bed. I had spent the whole afternoon running between my writing work and the university project. Enzo was my senior, my group partner, and the famous university hockey captain. He was also my girlfriend Chloe's stepbrother. Sending him my gay erotica comic was a big mistake— I honestly thought I sent it to my editor. I needed to fix this mess immediately. *** "I need a strawberry cake," I told the bakery attendant two hours later. "The large one with the white frosting." "Writing a special apology for someone?" the attendant asked. She slid the white box across the glass counter. "Something like that," I replied. "It is for my girlfriend. We had a small disagreement yesterday." "Well, strawberry cake fixes everything," the attendant smiled. "Do you want me to write a custom message on top of it?" "No, leaving it plain is fine," I said. "Thank you for asking." "She will definitely love it," the attendant smiled again. "Have a good evening." "You too," I said. I paid for the cake and walked out into the cool evening air. My plan was very simple. I would hand over the university project report to Enzo, apologize to him in person for the stupid email, and then surprise Chloe with her favorite cake. We could spend the rest of the night together. It seemed like the easiest way to solve two problems at once. I reached their shared apartment twenty minutes later. I walked up the porch steps. I balanced the cake box on one hand. I reached for the door handle. The front door was already slightly open. "Chloe?" I called out as I pushed the door wider. Nobody answered. The hallway was completely dark. "Enzo? Are you guys home?" I asked the empty space. "I brought the university project files." I stepped inside and pushed the door shut behind me with my heel. The house was very quiet. I walked past the kitchen. Then I heard a strange sound coming from the living room. It sounded like heavy, wet breathing and muffled groans. I stopped walking. I frowned and walked closer to the living room entrance. The sounds grew louder. "Are you guys watching a funny movie in there?" I asked aloud. "Because the volume is extremely high." I pushed the living room door open. I froze completely. The white bakery box slipped from my fingers and crashed onto the hardwood floor. The strawberry cake spilled out onto the rug. "What the hell is going on here?" I asked. My voice cracked in shock. Chloe was on the large sofa. Enzo was right there with her. They were both completely naked and tangled together. They turned their heads toward me. The silence in the room became incredibly heavy. "Rhys," Chloe said. She did not try to grab a blanket. She did not even look ashamed of what she was doing. She just stared at me with pure annoyance on her face. "You are sleeping with your stepbrother?" I asked, taking a step backward. "Are you two insane?" "We're not exactly related," Enzo pointed out lazily. He stayed exactly where he was on the sofa. "Shut your mouth," I snapped at him. "Chloe, how could you do this to me? I bought you a cake. I came here to apologize for being busy." "Oh, please stop acting so dramatic," Chloe sighed. She crossed her bare arms over her chest. "You have been busy with your stupid comics and your boring school projects for months. I needed a real man to pay attention to me." "A real man?" I repeated. My chest hurt with intense anger. "I treat you with nothing but respect." "Yes, a real man," Chloe sneered at me. "Respect does not satisfy me in bed. You are too weak in bed, Rhys. You are incredibly boring and you never want to try anything new. Look at Enzo. He actually has the confidence to take what he wants. He knows exactly how to satisfy me." "You are disgusting," I told her. "Both of you are completely disgusting. You are siblings. That is totally sick." "At least Enzo knows how to get what he wants," Chloe replied sharply. "You, standing here judging us, but you are the one sending him dirty gay erotica. Maybe you are the sick one." "That was an honest mistake," I said quickly. My face grew hot. "I sent the wrong file." "Sure it was," Enzo chuckled. He finally stood up from the sofa. "Do not talk to me," I told him. "You knew she was my girlfriend. You knew how much I love her, still you fucked her." "She came to me," Enzo said calmly. "I just gave her what she asked for. You were not doing your job as a boyfriend." "You truly are a terrible person," I said. "And you, Chloe, you are the worst mistake I ever made. I regret ever meeting you." "Oh, grow up, Rhys," Chloe rolled her eyes. "Stop crying like a little boy. You should be thanking me. Now you can go write your little gay stories in peace without pretending to like women." "We are done," I said, turning my back to her. "Do not ever try to contact me again. Do not text me. Do not call me." "Rhys, do not walk out like a coward," she yelled after me. "Face reality. You'll still come back crawling to me." "I promise you, I won't," I replied without looking back. I turned toward the front door. I just wanted to leave this terrible house and never see either of them again. I took two steps forward before someone grabbed my shoulder. "Hold on," Enzo said. He stepped directly into my path, blocking the main exit to the hallway. He did not bother to put on any clothes. He stood right in front of me, completely naked. I was extremely angry, but my eyes moved downward without my permission. I wrote male romance for fun, but I never actually believed another guy could be that huge. He was massive. My throat went completely dry. I stared at his lower region for a full three seconds before I forced my eyes back up to his face. Enzo was watching me closely. He saw exactly where I had been looking. A slow, knowing smile spread across his face. "Move out of my way," I demanded. My voice sounded weak. Enzo stepped even closer, backing me up against the wall. He was so close I could feel his body heat. He leaned down until his mouth was hovering right beside my ear. "She's such a whore isn't she?" Enzo whispered into my ear. I stayed completely still. ‘She's not worth your time. Try me instead.’ he smirked mockingly.CHAPTER 7Rhys’ POVHow could I not tremble? He was standing way too close that it was too inappropriate.'Don't tremble, Rhysand. Don't fucking tremble.' I repeated the words like a prayer as I stopped breathing entirely as his eyes trailed back to meet my dark blue eyes. His lips were so close that if he moved them to speak, our lips would touch. Something pulled in my lower belly. He didn't touch me. He shouldn't even dare do that, but the proximity was crippling.Would it be the worst thing in the world to bite his lip and make him bleed out? I lowered my eyes, looking away from his dark gaze that seemed to stare into my soul.We stood there like that for what felt like hours, but it was only for a minute. I balled my fists, clenching my jaw, trying not to breathe. "Rhys," he said, my name like it was some kind of divine prayer. It was sinful the way my name rolled off his tongue. My heart skipped a beat as I finally dragged my gaze to look at him. Enzo Terrain was devilishly
CHAPTER 6Rhy’s POVEnzo's eyes snapped to my face, and something flickered in those eyes. His gaze burned me intensely, and for a minute, the confidence that made me say what I said disappeared in an instant. Like someone was burning my hand, I let go of his black shirt. His eyes still bore into me, and my heart kept racing at his stare.'Why was he looking at me like that?' I wanted to ask but then stopped. I had been the one to push him away, then here I was telling him not to stop. It was odd, but things were confusing, and I.... God, what was I fucking doing? I needed to step away from this– from him. He rejected me clearly. But as I was about to take a step back, Enzo grabbed my wrist, pulling me towards him. I tried to pull away from him, but his large hand snaked to the back of my neck and his touch fucking made me lose my balance and bearings."And where do you think you're running to, Rhys?" His voice was low, and his eyes hooded as they passed over my face, landing on my
CHAPTER 5Rhys's POV"I know you are awake," Enzo repeated through the thick wood of my bedroom door."Go away," I told him loudly. I sat up in my large bed."Open the door right now," Enzo demanded. "Or I will open it myself. I know the lock is broken.""The lock is not broken," I argued back."Do you really want to test that?" Enzo asked.I threw my warm blanket off my legs. I walked across the cold floor and unlocked the heavy door. I pulled it open quickly. Enzo stood in the dark hallway. He wore grey sweatpants and a black t-shirt. His dark hair was messy from sleeping."What do you want? It's too early in the morning for your troubles." I said angrily."I came to check on you," Enzo said calmly. He leaned against the doorframe. "I heard you moving around in here for hours. You are pacing back and forth. As a hockey player, sleep is paramount. You need your rest for training tomorrow.""Like you care," I accused him immediately. "You're just deliberately provoking me. You have be
CHAPTER 4Rhys's POV"Your bags are already in the car," my mother said brightly as I walked through the front doors of our mansion.I stopped walking and stared at the large suitcases piled near the open entrance. Three maids stood directly behind her. I had just left my father in his large office. I spent the entire drive home looking for Enzo to curse him out for agreeing to this ridiculous deal without telling me. I could not find him anywhere on campus. Now I was home and I was already being kicked out."You packed my things already?" I asked her."Of course I did," my mother smiled widely. She stepped forward and hugged me very tightly. "Thank you for listening to your father today. You made him very happy.""You seem very excited to send me away for two months," I pointed out. I pulled away from her tight hug."The president promised to come spend the whole week with me after you leave," she said. She looked incredibly excited. "He told me he cleared his entire schedule just fo
