LOGINThis novel contains explicit sexual content and depictions of violence. Reader discretion is strongly advised. **************** College rugby star Andre Williams only has one rule: win at any cost. It is how he stays the golden boy, how he keeps the Bay Tigers on top, and how he keeps his life clean enough to survive the season. Then Richard O’Reilly arrives. No one seems to know where he has come from, only that he is too good, too calm, and too threatening to Andre, who until now has always been the one on top. Richard is not just talented at rugby, he is mysterious and hard to read. He keeps his past sealed up tight because he is hiding something that could blow his life apart. Andre has built his whole life on control. The first time Richard appears, Andre realizes control is not as solid as he thought, and it could slip. It starts as a cutthroat rivalry. Then it turns into obsession. And the obsession grows into a hunger neither of them can explain or control.

"Hello, Sailor."
Lexie slipped her hand into my sweats and wrapped her fingers around my cock through my briefs. I shuddered.
Not a lot. Just enough. Just enough for her to feel it and smile against my mouth.
“Oh my God,” she murmured. “You’re so fucking hard.”
“We don’t have time,” I said.
She kissed me anyway. Soft the way she always did, like she was asking. I pulled her in deeper because I was the one who decided how things went. She stroked me slow through the cotton and I felt it everywhere.
Lexie pulled back and looked up at me.
“Your sister isn’t home, is she?” she asked.
“Piano lessons until seven,” I said. “We’re good.”
She smiled and kissed her way down my throat, my chest, my stomach. I put my hand in her hair and let her take her time because I was never in a rush.
She pulled my sweats down and wrapped her hand around my cock. Slow strokes. Getting familiar the way she always did. Then she ran her tongue up the underside from base to tip and I exhaled through my nose.
She took the head into her mouth.
Just the head. Tongue working circles, cheeks hollowed, steady suction that made my fingers tighten in her hair. I felt every second of it. I stared at the ceiling and kept my breathing even.
She took me deeper and the heat spread through my whole lower body. Long slow pulls. Her hand working the base, twisting on the upstroke in exactly the way she knew I liked. She found the angle that made my thighs press into the mattress and stayed right there. Patient. Deliberate. Taking me apart one stroke at a time.
I was holding the edge of it with everything I had.
Then my phone buzzed on the nightstand.
I ignored it.
It buzzed again.
I picked it up and looked at the screen.
Tanner.
My best friend and the only person alive who had zero concept of timing.
I accepted the call.
“Yo.” Tanner’s voice came through loud. “You adding extra sessions this week? For Thursday?”
Lexie looked up at me, mouth still full, eyebrow raised. She didn’t stop.
“I’m a little occupied right now, man,” I said.
“Two minutes. Wolves game. Extra training, yes or no?”
“No.” My voice came out even. “They don’t need that level of attention from me.”
“Bro, I’m telling you, they are not the same team. Something changed.”
“Same coach. Same system. Three losses to us in a row.” I kept my eyes on the ceiling. “I’m not losing sleep over the Harley Wolves.”
“Okay but you haven’t seen the news today.”
Lexie pulled back to just the tip and sucked hard.
My jaw locked. I breathed through my nose and said nothing for two full seconds.
“Now is seriously not a good time, Tanner.”
“One name,” he said. “Ten seconds and I’m gone.”
She took me all the way down and held it. Her throat worked around me and I fixed my eyes on the ceiling and held on.
“Tanner—”
“They picked up a transfer. Just dropped this morning. Andre, you need to hear this one.”
Her hand tightened at the base. Her mouth moved faster. The heat built low and hard and I was right at the edge of it.
I tugged her hair lightly. “Stop,” I whispered. “I’m gonna cum.”
She looked up at me.
And kept going.
“What’s his name?” I said into the phone.
“Richard O’Reilly.”
That name pushed me straight over and my eyes rolled back. My head dropped against the pillow and my stomach contracted hard and a groan ripped out of me before I could do a single thing about it. I spilled into her mouth and she swallowed and kept stroking, hand firm and relentless, working every last bit of it out of me while I pressed my fist into the mattress and tried to remember how to form words.
“Bro.” Tanner’s voice shifted. “What the hell was that? You good?”
“Stubbed my toe,” I said. My voice came out completely destroyed.
“You stubbed your toe.”
“Yeah.”
“On what?”
“Tanner, I swear to God.”
Lexie’s hand kept moving, slow now. I reached down and grabbed her wrist. She looked up at me and I shook my head once. She sat back and wiped her mouth with the back of her hand, watching me with an expression I didn’t have the bandwidth to deal with right now.
“O’Reilly,” I said. “Transfer from where?”
“Eastbrook. Starting flanker. Bro the clips are everywhere. This guy doesn’t just play hard, he plays like he wants to end people. It’s different. It’s personal.”
“Send me the clips.”
“Already sent them. Twenty minutes ago.”
“Then I’ll watch them and call you back.”
“Andre, watch them now. I’m not being dramatic.”
“I’ll call you back,” I said.
I ended the call and the room went quiet immediately.
Lexie sat at the foot of the bed with her hair wrecked, watching me with that look she got when she knew something had shifted and was deciding whether to push on it.
“What’s going on?” she asked.
I stared at my phone. At the name sitting in the middle of my chest like something I hadn’t agreed to carry.
Richard O’Reilly.
I’d never heard of him. Never seen him play. Couldn’t pick him out of a crowd. And still the name sat there, heavy and stubborn and wrong in a way I couldn’t explain.
I looked up at Lexie, the confusion still prominent on my face.
“Who the fuck is Richard O’Reilly?“
ANDRE'S POV"You're too pent up," Lexie said.She was sitting cross-legged on my bed watching me stare at the ceiling like it owed me something. She had been watching me do that for twenty minutes."I'm fine," I said."You're not fine. You've been in your head since the game." She shifted toward me. Her hand moved to my chest first, then down my stomach, then lower. She found me through my sweats and looked up at me. "Let me help."I looked at her hand. Then at her face.Then I stopped arguing.She pushed up to kiss me and I pulled her in properly, one hand at the back of her neck, and the kiss started slow but she had been patient with me for four days and slow didn't last long. Her hand kept moving and I felt myself getting hard under her palm and I stopped thinking about the ceiling.We got each other undressed without making a production of it. I pulled her into my lap first, hands moving over her, mouth at her throat, and she made the sounds she made when she'd been waiting and I
RICHARD’S POVBriggs was already smiling when I walked in.Not his usual expression. His usual expression was neutral with a side of waiting for something to go wrong. This was different. He had the footage pulled up and his coffee was still hot and he was leaning back in his chair with the specific energy of a man who had slept well for the first time in a while.I sat down."Hell of a game," he said."It was one game.""It was one game against a program that hasn't lost at home in three years." He turned the laptop toward me. "Let me show you something."He ran the footage from the opening whistle. Paused it every few minutes, pointing out what he liked. My positioning off the breakdown in the second half. The timing on the tackle in the fifty-second minute. The way I was reading the backline a full beat earlier than he'd seen from me at Eastbrook."Your instincts are ahead of schedule," he said. "You're making reads out there that players in their third year at this level still can
ANDRE’S POVI told myself I was studying film.That was the story. That was the reason my laptop was open at six in the morning with the curtains still drawn and an untouched coffee going cold on the desk beside me. Film study. Preparation. The thing I always did after a loss, which almost never happened, which was the point.The Bay Tigers had not lost a home game in three years.Three years. Fourteen straight wins across two seasons before this one, and we had added nine more this year before yesterday. My whole college career, I had never walked off this pitch on the wrong side of a scoreline.My phone had rung at eleven last night. I was still in my kit."Andre." My mother's voice, warm and slightly distracted the way it always was when she called from somewhere with a time difference. Background noise behind her. A hotel lobby, maybe, or an airport terminal."Hey, Mom.""We heard about the game. Are you okay?""I'm fine.""You sure? It sounded like it was close.""It was four poi
ANDRE's POVThe opening whistle kicked off the game and the crowd lifted.My name first, the way it always was, rolling through the stands like a wave finding its shape. I caught the ball off the kickoff, tucked it, and moved.The first ten minutes were ours.I broke through a gap in their defensive line off a quick ruck reset, fifteen yards before their flanker dragged me down, and the crowd reacted like I'd scored already. We recycled fast, spread it wide, and Davis nearly went over in the corner before their fullback got a hand on him at the last second. The Wolves scrambled. Held on.We kept the pressure on. I called the plays and my team executed them the way they always did, clean and fast and without hesitation. Two phases later we pushed them back to their own twenty-two and the crowd was fully ours. The chants were loud and the cameras were tracking me and everything felt exactly the way it was supposed to feel.But we were the better team and everyone in that stadium knew it
