Tainted ice: my stepbrother is my rival White Palm club
Hunter Travis dumped me as soon as we arrived at the club, disappearing with some guy that had on a $16,000 dollar watch and a haircut that I was sure cost too much. I glanced around, hands in my pocket, trying to appear more confident than I felt. I thought about tailing Travis just to annoy him, but decided against it. If he wanted to act like a petulant teen, he could be my guest. We weren't friends, and the more distance I put between us, the better for me. At least until I could figure out how exactly I planned to get him to spill the passcode. With a sigh, I made my way through the club, taking in the lay of the land. Everywhere I turned, there was yet another preppy looking asshole. The total networth here could buy a small country, I was sure. Conversations fluttered around, and I heard the words boat, yacht and beach house more times than I cared to count. Just as I made up my mind to find a receptionist or something, someone tapped me from behind. I whirled around to

Hunter I'd never hated the forced family breakfast as much as I did the morning after the strip club. Travis sat across from me, body so stiff that he could be mistaken for a madam toussand wax figure. He hadn't yet looked up from his still full plate, and I found myself wondering how interesting omelette could possibly be. My mother sat to my left, filling the silence with idle chatter while Mr. Moore hummed occasionally. My appetite was nonexistent, but I forced myself to bite and chew mechanically. Mum hated food wastage, probably because of all the years we had gone without. An outsider would think she was perfectly at ease, but I knew her well enough to see the tightness around her mouth, and the way her fingers gripped her fork a little too tight. It was crazy to realize that the only person who was perfectly fine at the table was Michael Moore, but he had his head so far up his ass, that he didn't even notice. Or maybe he did and just didn't care. So far, I was yet to see
Tainted ice: my stepbrother is my rival A means to an end
HunterThe woman pressed a quick kiss to my cheek before disappearing through the curtain, leaving me alone with Travis.For a few seconds, neither of us spoke.Travis stood near the door, shoulders rigid, staring at anything but me. He looked like he wanted to be anywhere else in the world.“This meant nothing,” he finally said.I raised an eyebrow.There was no point responding to that.I adjusted my clothes and sauntered toward him, stopping a few feet away. His eyes finally lifted to mine.“What meant nothing?” I asked. “It’s not like you touched me or anything. Guys get off with each other all the time.”His jaw tightened. “So you’ve done this before?”I grinned. “Maybe.”“With who?” The question came out sharper than I expected, and it gave me pause. I tilted my head. “Why?”His eyes narrowed. “That guy from the other day?” he demanded. “The one who got you high and was pawing at you? You've done this with him?"I blinked. “You mean Ivan?”The reaction was immediate. Something

Travis Hunter was seated on the long couch, legs spread out before him like an emperor on his throne. His eyes slid over to me as soon as I stepped into the room, and instead of asking me what the fuck I was doing there or tossing me out, his mouth curved into a half smile. I finally glanced over at the woman between us. There was a pole in the center of the room and she was curled around it, rolling her hips in a seductive motion. Soft music sounded from speakers mounted somewhere in the room, and the dim lights created a lulling atmosphere. The stripper paused as soon as I walked in, then glanced over her shoulder at me, a question in her eyes. I made my way over to the bed at the corner and dropped down onto the edge of it."Ignore him." Hunter's mocking voice cut through the sudden quiet. "Big bro's just trying to watch out for me." My jaw ground together, but I knew he was just trying to rile me up. It was strange to realize how much I could now read him. But not half as st

TravisHe was acting reckless. What the hell was wrong with him?That question had been circling my head since we’d walked through the doors of the strip club.Hunter had always been reckless, cocky, impulsive, stubborn as hell. But tonight felt different.He hadn’t touched a single drink, which was probably the only reason he was still standing while the rest of us slowly lost our dignity. But somehow, being sober made his decision to stay even more irritating. If he was drunk, I'd have blamed it on the alcohol.He was watching everything. Taking everything in.And every time one of the dancers came by, he’d toss a ten-dollar bill into the air with that stupid smirk on his face. Where the hell had he even gotten that much money to burn?“Come on!” Sammy yelled as another dancer spun around the pole.Law whooped beside him.I shook my head, keeping my smile fixed on my face while I continued staring at my step brother as covertly as possible, which wasn't all that difficult, judging b

HunterThe first round of drinks arrived before the captain did.Which, frankly, was impressive.Sammy had barely finished announcing that Neal was buying when the bartender appeared with a tray loaded with bottles and glasses. Everyone cheered like we’d just won the Stanley Cup.“Now we’re talking!” Law grabbed two bottles.I laughed, taking one for myself even though I knew I wasn't going to take a drop of it. I didn't want to be the party pooper or have to start explaining that I didn't drink.The bar was already loud enough to make conversation difficult. Music thumped through the floor, colored lights swept over the crowd, and our table had somehow become the center of attention.Neal leaned back in his chair, looking entirely too pleased with himself."What do you think? Having fun?" Neal asked.“So this is what you call celebrating?” I scoffed, swirling the drink in my glass.“Wait until round three,” Sammy piped up.“I’m not making it to round three.” I told him.“Coward.”“I

Hunter. Locating Travis hadn't been difficult. The entire team seemed to have an obsession with posting their every move on Instagram. A little stalking of Sammy's page and I found a blurry photo of them with their location tagged. I knew Travis didn't want me anywhere around him. I knew he hated

Travis "No." The word was ripped out of my mouth before I could stop it. Acid burned through my chest and I suddenly felt sick. It can't be. No. No. This can't be happening to me. This was a nightmare and any second now, I'll wake up. There was no way in hell the blond asshole was my step brothe

Travis "How was practice master Travis?" Mrs Johnson asked as I stepped into the house. She had been the housekeeper even before I was born and was the closest thing to a mother I had ever had since mine had disappeared when I was two. "The usual." I said, wiping an arm over my sweaty forehead.

Travis. "What the hell is going on here?" I barked. The defencemen glanced over his shoulder at me, eyebrows pulled down in a glare. Before he could say anything, the new guy grabbed his arm and spun him around in a lightning quick maneuver. One second he was pinned and the next he had a man the
