LOGINDante Cruz looks untouchable star quarterback, all muscle and tattoos, the guy everyone either wants to be or wants to have. But his grades are tanking, and if he fails one more class, football won’t save him. Eli Summers never expected to room with him. Eli’s a lit major, more at home with novels and coffee stains than roaring crowds. He’s blonde, silly, always running late, and his painted nails drive Dante crazy in ways he can’t explain. What starts with late-night tutoring and bickering over laundry turns into something else something hotter, riskier. A kiss in the wrong place. A touch that lingers too long. Suddenly, keeping boundaries feels impossible. But the campus is watching. Rumors spread fast, and Dante has everything to lose if anyone finds out. Eli has to decide if he’s okay being Dante’s secret or if love this strong deserves to be seen.

They stayed up because Lila once declared them “magic lights that make everything prettier,” and honestly, neither of us had the heart to argue. They glowed soft, warm, turning the cold granite countertops into something almost romantic, casting tiny flecks of amber across every surface like scattered stars.The house was finally quiet. Lila had been asleep for a little over an hour—she’d fought bedtime with the full dramatic flair of a seven-year-old, delivering a tearful monologue about needing “just one more chapter” of her fantasy book, complete with hand gestures and tragic sighs. We’d caved for fifteen extra minutes before Dante carried her upstairs, kissed her forehead, and turn
Bonus Chapter 11 – Post-Game Claim (Hotel Room After Road Win)Dante POVThe hotel door slammed shut behind us so hard the frame rattled, the sound cutting through the muffled hallway noise like a gunshot.Adrenaline still roared through every vein — heart slamming against my ribs from the fourth-quarter comeback, the stadium roar still echoing in my skull like distant thunder, the win tasting like salt-soaked sweat, cheap stadium champagne someone had sprayed in the locker room, and the faint metallic tang of blood from a split lip I didn’t even remember taking. My body felt electric, bruised, alive.Eli had waited in the family section the whole game. Watched every snap. Texted me one word after the final whistle blew and the scoreboard locked our victory in: *Hurry.*Now he was already against the wall — shirt gone, jeans shoved open, cock straining thick and obvious against black briefs, chest rising and falling like he’d run the same brutal sixty-minute game I just had.I didn’
Bonus Chapter 10 – New Kink Discovery: Blindfold Trust (Mid-to-Late Marriage Bedroom Night)Eli POV – 912 The bedroom was quiet except for the soft hum of the ceiling fan and the distant crickets outside the open window.Fairy lights glowed along the headboard — golden strands we’d replaced countless times over the years. They cast warm halos across the sheets, across Dante’s bare chest, across the silver that now dominated his hair and the deeper lines around his eyes from years of laughing at my jokes.We’d been talking about it for weeks little hints, teasing comments after sex, a late-night confession over wine that maybe we could try something new.Tonight he’d asked.I’d said yes.Now I was on my back in the middle of the bed naked, wrists loosely bound above my head with a silk scarf (not tight, just enough to remind me), and a soft black blindfold tied over my eyes.Darkness.Only sound: my own breathing, the rustle of sheets, Dante’s slow footsteps circling the bed.I felt
Bonus Chapter 9 – Reverent Rediscovery (Later Years, Quiet Bedroom Night)Eli POVThe bedroom smelled like cedar from the old dresser we’d refinished ourselves, the faint vanilla of the candle Lila had sent for our last anniversary (still burning low on the nightstand), and the warm, lived-in scent of us skin, sheets, years of shared breath.Fairy lights glowed along the headboard golden strands we’d replaced so many times they were practically part of the house now. They cast soft halos across the rumpled white sheets, across Dante’s bare chest, across the silver that had taken over his hair completely and the deeper lines carved around his eyes from decades of laughing at my terrible puns, squinting at playbooks in dim stadium lighting, and looking at me like I was still the most dangerous, most beautiful thing he’d ever let into his life.He lay on his back, one arm bent behind his head, the other resting on my hip as I straddled him knees bracketing his waist, palms braced on his
