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 The celebration ran until past ten. Tanner had found somewhere that would take a group of fourteen rugby players on a Wednesday night and we had taken over the back section and stayed there for hours. The win settled into the group slowly the way good results did, not loud all at once but building through the evening, getting warmer and looser as the night went on. I stayed longer than I planned to. I needed it. The whole team needed it. I got home just before eleven. The lights in the living room were off. Rose’s door was closed and the thin strip of light underneath it was gone, which meant she was already asleep or had her lamp on the low setting she used when she was reading. I knocked once, soft. “I’m fine,” she said from inside. Flat and immediate. “You eat?” A pause. “Lexie got Thai.” “Good.” “Andre.” “Yeah.” “You won. Go to bed.” I almost smiled. I went to my room and dropped my bag and sat on the edge of the bed for a moment in the quiet of the apartme
Richard's POVThe whistle came from somewhere far away.The crowd noise returned in pieces, like a radio finding its signal. My teammates were moving around me, some celebrating the performance, some already heading toward the touchline, and I was standing in the middle of the pitch with the result sitting in my chest and my legs still going and the game already over.The commentator's voice bled through the stadium speakers.Both programs heading to Wood Work. The rivalry between O'Reilly and Williams more heated than ever. One point separating them today.One point.I stood there and let it wash over me and did not move.Marcus got to me first."Hey." He grabbed my shoulder and turned me toward him. "Look at me. One point. You hear me? One point.""I hear you," I said."That's nothing. That's a rounding error. We played well today, Richard. The whole team played well.""I know.""Do you?" He looked at me hard. "Because you're standing here like someone died."I said nothing."We're
Andre's POVTWO DAYS LATERRose was already in the corridor when I came out of the changing room.She was standing beside Lexie with her coat on and her earplugs in her hand, ready, like she had been here longer than either of us and was simply waiting for the rest of the situation to catch up.I stopped. "You need anything? Water, food, somewhere to sit before—""No," she said."Rose. The bleachers are going to be loud today. This is a qualifying match, the crowd is going to be—""I have earplugs," she said. She held them up, the same way she had held them up the first time, like the gesture explained everything and further conversation was unnecessary."Is Richard playing today?" she said.I looked at her. "Yes. He's on the Wolves roster.""Good." She nodded once. "I want to thank him.""Rose, this is a qualifying match. You're not going to be able to get near the pitch before or after—""I want to thank him," she said again. Same tone. Same finality.I looked at Lexie.Lexie looked
Richard's POVWednesday practice was supposed to run until six.I was in the middle of a contact drill when my phone buzzed in my shorts pocket. I ignored it. It buzzed again. Marcus glanced at me from across the line and I shook my head and reset my stance and we went again.When Briggs blew the whistle for water I pulled the phone out.Sofia."Ooooh," Marcus said immediately from two feet away. He had eyes like a hawk when it came to other people's business. "Is that her?""Mind the drill," I said."It's a water break." He leaned over. "Call her back. She's been—"I stepped away from the group and picked up."Hey," she said. Her voice was warm the way it always was, like she had been looking forward to this call specifically. "Are you training?""Just a break," I said. "What's up?""I have a surprise for you.""I don't like surprises.""You'll like this one." A pause. "I'm sending you an address. Come tonight. I'll be there at eight."I looked back at the group. Marcus was watching
