Chapter 3: Hotel Tension

The second Kade slammed that Montreal player into the boards I knew the night would end with us destroying each other.

The road game turned nasty fast. Cheap shots flew from every Montreal jersey. Late in the third one of their big forwards lined me up with his elbow high ready to take my head off. Kade exploded in fast smashing the guy so hard the glass shook. The refs called the penalty on him.

“What the hell was that Volkov?” I yelled skating to the box. “We were up by one. Now they get a power play because you cannot control yourself.”

Kade gripped the boards breathing heavy his eyes locked on mine. “That prick was going to knock you out Captain. You wanted me to watch like a coward? I handled it.”

“Handled it?” I shot back. “We play smart not like animals. Coach has me riding your ass to keep you in line and you pull this shit.”

He smirked through the cage. “You like riding my ass now Ryder? Keep talking. I might let you.”

“Shut up and serve your time,” I growled. “We win this clean or I tell Coach you are unfixable.”

We killed the penalty and scraped out the win but the bus to the hotel crackled with wired energy. Guys replayed every hit loud. I sat near the front jaw tight. Kade stayed in the back watching me the whole ride.

At the hotel I needed a drink to settle my nerves. I headed to the bar in sweats. Kade already sat alone with whiskey in front of him. I ordered a beer and took the stool nearby.

“Come to yell at me again Captain?” he asked without looking up.

“Yeah maybe,” I said. “That penalty was stupid. You play like you have nothing to lose. Why?”

Kade took a sip and turned to me. “Because I know what losing really costs. You skate around like the league owes you everything. I fight because that is how I survive. That hit on you was dirty. I stopped it.”

“I had it under control,” I replied. “We are a team. Not one guy playing hero. Coach dumped you on me. Room together next trip. I have to make sure you do not blow everything up.”

He leaned in closer voice dropping. “Room together? You going to tuck me in every night Ryder? Make sure I behave?”

“Stop twisting it,” I said my pulse picking up. “This is not a joke. You push too hard and we all pay. Why do you always charge in like the rules do not matter?”

Kade stood up and nodded at the elevators. “Bar has ears. Finish this upstairs before I say something we both regret.”

I followed him. The elevator felt too small. The doors closed and the argument heated up again.

“You still did not answer,” I pressed. “Why play so reckless? One more suspension and you are gone. I worked years for this team. I will not let you wreck it.”

Kade stepped right into my space. “Reckless? I saved your pretty ass out there. You ever thank someone who actually protects you or just lecture them?”

“I do not need your protection,” I shot back. “I need you to follow the system. Stop acting like a lone wolf with a death wish.”

The doors opened. We walked to his room still arguing.

“You act so perfect Captain,” Kade said swiping the key. “But I see how you look at me. All that hate. All that heat. What are you really afraid of?”

We stepped inside. The door clicked shut and everything exploded. Kade shoved me hard against the wall his mouth crashing into mine rough and angry. I kissed him back grabbing his shirt hating how much I wanted it.

“You piss me off so fucking much,” I growled against his lips.

“Good,” he muttered biting my bottom lip. “You need it. Always so controlled. Let me fuck that out of you.”

Clothes flew off fast. Shirts hoodies pants hitting the floor. Kade dropped to his knees eyes dark. He yanked my boxers down and took my cock deep into his hot mouth right away. His tongue swirled around the head sucking hard while his hands gripped my thighs tight.

“Fuck Kade,” I groaned fingers twisting in his dark hair. “Just like that. Deeper.”

He hummed around me taking me to the back of his throat eyes looking up. The wet heat felt insane. He bobbed fast one hand stroking what his mouth could not reach.

I pulled him up breathing ragged. “Bed. Now.”

We stumbled there. Kade grabbed lube from his bag slicking his fingers quick. He pushed me onto my back spread my legs and slid two thick fingers inside me stretching me open.

“Shit you are tight,” he said voice rough pumping them in and out. “You want my cock Captain? Say it.”

“Yeah I want it,” I gasped pushing back on his fingers. “Stop teasing and fuck me already.”

He slicked himself up positioned at my hole and thrust in deep in one hard push. We both groaned. He filled me completely stretching me wide. Then he started moving fast and rough bodies slapping loud.

“Harder Volkov,” I demanded nails digging into his scarred back. “Give it to me.”

Kade pounded into me hips snapping. Sweat dripped off his chest. “Like this? You take it so good. Always acting tough but your ass squeezes my dick like you need it.”

He wrapped a hand around my cock stroking me in time with his thrusts. The pleasure hit hard and fast. I gripped his shoulders moaning.

“Right there. Fuck I am close,” I said.

“Come for me Ryder,” he growled thrusting deeper. “Let me feel it.”

I came hard shooting across my stomach and chest with a loud groan. My body clenched around him. Kade cursed in Russian buried himself deep and came inside me pulsing hot and thick. He kept moving through it until we both shook.

We lay there panting sweat cooling on our skin. The room smelled like sex and hotel soap.

Kade spoke first still inside me. “That should not have happened.”

“No shit,” I said pushing at his chest. I dressed fast my legs still shaky. “This stays here. No one knows. We have games to win.”

He watched me pull on my clothes from the bed. “Running already? Scared you might like it too much?”

“Not scared,” I replied at the door. “Smart. This was just blowing off steam after the game. Nothing more.”

Kade smirked. “Whatever helps you sleep Captain. But we both know that was more than steam. Next time you will beg for it.”

I left without answering and walked down the hall to my room. His heat stayed on my skin all night. Every thrust every word burned in my head. I crossed a line with Kade Volkov and part of me already craved crossing it again.
