THEO

I sat in my car two blocks from the house and stared at Dana's name on my phone for a full minute before I called.

She picked up on the second ring. "Hey! I was just thinking about you."

Her voice hit me with relief. She was a reminder of how normal I was. Proof that I wasn't what Elijah Voss was trying to turn me into and I had a life outside him and his stupid bet.

"Hey," I said. "How are you?"

"Good! Busy with classes, but good. How's the family visit? How's your mom?"

"She's great and

  • Rivals on ice: the bet is on   CHAPTER FOURTEEN

    THEODana's name flashed on my phone while I was hiding in my car in the driveway.I'd been sitting there for ten minutes already, trying to convince myself to go back inside when she called and I picked up instantly."Hey," I said."Hey! I have the best idea."Something in her voice made my stomach drop. I knew that excited tone, she had made plans for something."What idea?""I'm driving up this weekend. I miss you too much and I want to meet your mom. We can spend the whole weekend together and I can help with wedding stuff, it'll be perfect."My chest tightened. "This weekend?""Yeah! I already checked and I don't have any major assignments due. I can leave Friday after my morning class and be there by afternoon.""Dana, I don't think that's a good idea.""Why not?""The house is chaotic with wedding planning. There's stuff everywhere. It's not a good time for visitors.""I don't mind chaos. I just want to see you, Theo. I miss you.""I miss you too, but—""But what? You've been g

    THEOI woke up furious.It woke me up as early as 5:30 AM with my hand and jaw clenched tight as my body vibrated with rage. I was furious at Elijah, the bet and the fact that I'd sat on that couch last night and let him kiss me. Also because of how bad I wanted to pull him close and kiss him back. I went to bed with a very hard dick that I wanted him to touch. All this made me very angry.I got up and went straight to the basement gym. I didn't even bother with stretching as I loaded weight onto the bar and started bench pressing with more force than form. Push up. Down. Again. Again. My muscles screamed but I didn't stop.I was halfway through my third set when I felt someone watching.I looked up and Elijah was standing in the doorway already dressed for a run in shorts and a t-shirt, looking fresh and awake while I was here destroying myself at 6 AM. He didn't say anything as he watched me with that calm expression that made me want to throw the barbell at him.I did another rep.

    THEOWhen I walked into the living room around 11pm, I surprisingly saw him there.I'd been lying in bed staring at the ceiling for two hours, listening to the quiet house and I still couldn't fall asleep. Then I decided to go downstairs and maybe watch a movie but there he was.Elijah was sitting on the couch in the dark with no TV and no book. It looked like he had been waiting and knew that I'd come down.How he knew? I wasn't so sure.I stood in the doorway for a moment contemplating turning around and pretending I had never come down here but I summoned courage, walked in and sat on the other end of the couch.We didn't speak for a good moment, just staring into the darkness. I could hear him breathing and smell the soap on him which oddly made me relax a bit."Come here," he said.I didn't move."Come here, Theodore."Reluctantly, I slid a bit closer but still left a foot of space between us to maintain some sort of distance. But of course, Elijah closed it up as he shifted on t

    THEODOREThe house became chaotic overnight.Caterers calling every hour. Douglas at the dining table with seating charts spread out like battle plans. My mother on the phone coordinating with venues, flowers and photographers. And somehow Elijah and I kept getting pulled into it."Boys, I need you to fold these programs," Mom said, dropping a stack of cards on the kitchen table."We need to sort out invitations as well." Douglas added, setting down a box of envelopes and a guest list."And you both need to taste-test the menu options the caterer's sending over," Mom continued. "Make sure we're not picking anything terrible."Elijah said, "Happy to help."I said nothing. Just sat down and started folding programs like I'd been ordered to.We worked in silence for twenty minutes. Folding, addressing, organizing. Our parents moved in and out of the room, too busy to notice the tension. And too distracted to see the way Elijah kept positioning himself closer to me.Then I felt his knee p

    THEOAround 9am, while I was trying to force down breakfast, Ramos called.Thank God. I needed him to remind me I wasn't dead and in some limbo where Elijah tormented me.I saw his name on the screen and answered, grateful for the excuse to leave the table where Elijah was sitting across from me eating toast like he hadn't had his hands all over me last night."Ramos," I said, stepping out onto the back porch."Cap." Danny “Carson” Ramos, my assistant captain. He was both dependable and nosy in equal measure. "You didn't call when you got to mom’s, you good?""Yeah, I've been here a few days.""Good. When are you coming back? The team needs you.""Two more weeks. Maybe three.""Three weeks?" He paused. "Coach has me running drills but it's not the same. You know how Prieto gets without you keeping him in line."I could picture it—Prieto getting too aggressive, the rookies getting nervous, Carson trying to mediate. "Tell Prieto I'll kick his ass if he's not sharp when I get back.""Wil

  • Rivals on ice: the bet is on   CHAPTER NINE

    THEOI stood outside Elijah's door at midnight and tried to convince myself I could still walk away.I had fucked up big time. At this point I considered just calling the coach to find out if there was any way he could help me get out of this bet.I'd spent the last hour pacing my room, arguing with myself. I didn't have to do this. The bet was stupid. Elijah couldn't actually make me do anything I didn't want to do. I could just go to bed and deal with whatever consequences came tomorrow.But my hand was already knocking before I could chicken out again.The door opened. Elijah stood there in the same t-shirt and sleep pants from last night, looking at me like he'd known I'd come and there was never any question.He stepped aside, I walked in and then the lock clicked shut. I gulped, involuntarily."You came earlier tonight," he said.I didn't answer. I just stood in the center of the room with my hands shoved in my pockets, already regretting this.Elijah moved in front of me, close
