Hate to Love

Gamer

Everyone thinks I hate Rex Callahan. I call him arrogant. I call him reckless. I tell anyone who will listen that he is the last man I would ever want. What they don’t know is that I keep his sweat-damp towel under my pillow. What they don’t know is that I have been touching myself to his scent for years. What they don’t know is that the famous racing driver I publicly despise is the only man who can destroy me. Until the night he catches me. One empty lounge. One forgotten jacket. One moment of weakness I can never take back. Now he knows the truth. And instead of telling my overprotective brother, he decides to keep my secret… for a price. He wants my honesty. He wants me close. He wants to watch how long I can keep pretending I feel nothing while he is the one making me fall apart. Forced under the same roof, the line between hate and hunger starts to burn. Every argument turns dangerous. Every glance lasts too long. Every rule we set is made to be broken. But my brother has one unbreakable rule of his own: Rex is never allowed to touch me. Some secrets are dangerous. Some desires are worse. And once the racer I pretend to hate decides he wants more than my silence… there is no going back.

Chapter 1: Caught
I shouldn’t have done it. That single thought kept looping in my head as I stood alone in the empty racetrack lounge, Rex Callahan’s black team jacket pressed tightly against my face. The rest of the building was quiet. Practice had ended over an hour ago. Most of the crew had already left for the night. Even the cleaning staff hadn’t come through yet. I told myself I only walked in here to grab my camera bag. That was a lie, and I knew it the second my eyes landed on the jacket. It was draped over the back of the same chair he always used, still holding the shape of his shoulders, the collar dark with sweat. I had seen him peel it off earlier, laughing with one of the engineers, completely unaware that I was watching from across the garage. I had told myself to look away. I never did. My fingers closed around the fabric before I could stop them. The moment I lifted it to my face, my knees went weak. That expensive cologne he always wore mixed with pure male heat and the sharp

Chapter 2: I didn’t sleep.
Every time I closed my eyes I felt the door at my back again, the solid weight of Rex’s body pinning me in place, the slow drag of his thumb under my breast. The memory of his thigh pressed between my legs refused to leave. By the time the sky started turning gray, my sheets were twisted around my waist and the towel I usually kept under my pillow was clenched in my fist like evidence.I shoved it into the bottom of my drawer and slammed it shut.My phone sat face-down on the nightstand. I had ignored the message from Rex for hours, but the words still burned behind my eyes.We’re not done talking about this.I showered in water so hot it almost hurt, scrubbing my skin until it turned pink, as if I could wash the entire night off me. It didn’t work. When I looked in the mirror, my cheeks were still flushed and my eyes looked too wide, too guilty. I looked exactly like someone who had been caught doing something she shouldn’t.By the time I reached the circuit the next morning, my stom

Chapter 3: The Price
I didn’t reply to the message.I spent the entire day pretending I hadn’t seen it, even though the words sat on my screen like a brand.Dinner. Tonight. My place. We still have things to discuss.Don’t make me come find you, Bennett.Every time my phone buzzed I flinched. Every time someone called my name I expected it to be him. By late afternoon my nerves were shredded. I stayed behind the camera as much as possible, using the lens as a shield, photographing everything except the one person I couldn’t stop thinking about.It didn’t help.I still felt the memory of his thigh between my legs. I still heard the low way he had said years. I still tasted the panic and the unwanted heat that had flooded me when he pinned me to the door.When the sun started dropping, I packed my gear slower than usual, hoping the parking lot would be empty by the time I left. It wasn’t.Rex was leaning against the side of his black car, arms crossed, waiting.He didn’t smile when he saw me. He just watche

Chapter 4: Watching
I didn’t stay for dinner.I left Rex’s house with my pulse still racing and Ethan’s message burning on my phone. Rex didn’t try to stop me. He just stood in the doorway watching me go, that same unreadable expression on his face, like he already knew this wasn’t over.I drove straight to my mother’s house because I had nowhere else to put the panic. Ethan was already there, sleeves rolled up, helping set the table like nothing in the world had changed. Mom kissed my cheek and asked about work. I smiled and lied and somehow made it through the entire meal without looking like I was about to come apart.Rex never showed.Ethan checked his phone once and shrugged. “Guess he got busy. You know how he is during the season.”I nodded and forced another bite of food past the tightness in my throat.That night I lay in bed staring at the ceiling, replaying every word I had said in his kitchen. The admission sat in my chest like a stone. I had given him everything—how long, what I had taken, w

Chapter 5: The Deal
I ignored the messages.I left them unread on my phone like that would somehow make them less real. It didn’t. The words still sat in the back of my mind the entire next day.You didn’t come.Next time I won’t give you the option of walking away.By the time I reached the circuit, my nerves were already frayed. I kept my head down and my camera busy, moving through the garage and pit lane with deliberate purpose. If I stayed focused on work, maybe I could outrun the memory of Rex’s voice and the way he had looked at me in that hallway.It worked for almost two hours.Then I turned a corner near the engineering offices and walked straight into him.Rex was coming from the opposite direction, still in his black team shirt, race gloves tucked into his back pocket. He stopped when he saw me. So did I. For a second we just stood there in the narrow corridor, the air between us suddenly too thick.“Bennett,” he said.“I’m busy.”“You’re always busy when I’m around.” He stepped closer, lower

Chapter 6: Cover Story
I accepted the deal five minutes before the deadline.Not with a clear yes. Not with any real choice. I simply stopped fighting.Rex found me near the media room at the end of the day, leaning against the wall with his arms crossed like he had known all along that I would fold. He didn’t ask for confirmation. He just looked at me, waited, and when I didn’t push back or walk away, that slow, knowing curve touched the corner of his mouth.“Smart girl,” he said quietly.The words scraped down my spine. I wanted to slap the satisfaction off his face. Instead I turned and walked away before I could say something that would make the entire situation worse. My hands were unsteady as I packed the last of my gear. The deal sat in my chest like a live wire, dangerous, impossible to ignore, and already tightening around me.I told myself it was temporary. A necessary lie to protect the bigger secret. I would stop the public insults, keep my distance, and wait for him to get bored. Rex Callahan g

Chapter 7: Access
I almost didn’t go.I stood in front of my closet for twenty minutes, staring at clothes I suddenly hated, replaying his last message in my head.Wear something you don’t mind me looking at.The arrogance of it made my jaw tighten. I pulled on black jeans and a simple dark top that covered more than it revealed, then stared at myself in the mirror like I was preparing for a fight instead of a conversation. My hair was still slightly damp from the shower. I left it down. I told myself it didn’t matter what I looked like. He already knew too much.At 7:52 I sat in my car outside his house with the engine off, hands gripping the steering wheel. The modern glass-and-steel structure looked even more imposing at night, lights glowing softly behind the tall windows. I could still leave. I could drive away and deal with the consequences tomorrow.My phone buzzed.Rex: You’re sitting outside. Come in.I hated that he knew.I got out of the car before I could talk myself out of it.Rex opened t
