《KNOTTING ON ICE: Scentless Obsession 》全部章節：第 31 章 - 第 40 章

AurelAfter training, the boys head straight for the showers, loud as always, shoving each other, arguing over nothing, acting like they don’t have bones that just went through hell on ice.I hang back.Sitting on the bench, elbows on my knees, my towel resting over my shoulder as I watch them file in one after the other. Steam already starts to creep out from the open door, voices echoing off the tiles inside.Two years ago, I wouldn’t even think twice about it.I would be in there with them, laughing, pushing Treyvon into the water, arguing over who used whose soap, all that nonsense.Now I have a C-section scar. I’m not exposing that to a room full of guys.My fingers tap lightly against my knee as I stare at the floor, listening to the sound of running water and the occasional shout from inside.“Yo, you coming or what?” Treyvon’s voice cuts through the noise.I look up to see him standing at the entrance, already halfway out of his gear, towel hanging low on his waist.“Yeah, in

AurelDamn, Jace.You really shouldn’t do this. I want to say it out loud, I really do, but he already seals my lips with his before I can even get a word out, and for a second my brain just blanks.How did we even get here? And why the hell am I not resisting?I know I should push him away. I know this is messy. I know this is not something I should be standing here letting happen in the open, right in the parking lot of all places. But my heart is starting to beat faster than it should.Let me explain.I’ve always had a crush on my coach, even back in college. Jace has always been especially kind to me, even before he knew I was an omega, and that alone already set him apart from everyone else. And recently, with everything going on, with how careful he has been around me, how he looks at me sometimes, I tried not to assume anything. I really tried to keep my head straight. But I won’t lie, I like it. I feel safe around him. I feel like I can breathe without thinking too much. I do

AurelI lose my temper and my fist connects straight with the bald one standing in front of me. His head jerks back on impact and he staggers, a split forming at the corner of his mouth almost immediately.“Are you mad?” he barks, but I don’t even give him time to recover.The second one, the one with the loose shirt hanging open, rushes at me. I step back and dodge, his hand barely grazing my shoulder as he misses. My heart is already pounding, not from fear but from pure irritation, the kind that sits heavy in my chest and makes it hard to think straight.“Back off,” I snap, my voice low, warning clear.He laughs instead, like I just said something funny.I move to hit him, my fist already halfway up, but a sharp scream cuts through everything.“Aurel!”My head turns instantly.The third one has Shantel.His arm is locked around Shantel’s neck, pulling him back against his chest, and Shantel is struggling, his hands clawing at the arm holding him.“Let me go!” he chokes out, his voi

AurelI couldn’t endure the pheromones anymore, my grip on the tray in my hands loosening as I stagger forward, my vision blurring slightly. I try to steady the tray in my hands, but my fingers are not cooperating anymore. The glasses clink against each other, a soft, irritating sound that keeps repeating as my hand won’t stop shaking. I suck in a breath through my nose, immediately regretting it as that same thick smell fills my lungs again, heavy and sharp, mixed with sweat and sex and something else underneath that makes my stomach turn.Shit.I take a step forward anyway… I don’t have a choice, and my shoulder bumps into someone before I can even see clearly.“Watch it,” the guy snaps, but his voice changes the moment his eyes land on my face. He looks young, probably around my age, dressed too clean to be one of the guests and too relaxed to be staff. His gaze drags over me slowly, then drops to my hands, to the tray, then back up again.“You don’t look okay,” he says, lowering

AurelI sit on the bathroom floor longer than I should.My back presses against the cold tiles, my chest rising and falling like I just ran a damn marathon. My hand drags over my face, and I let out a breath I didn’t even realize I was holding.Fuck.My body still feels hot… like it’s not even mine right now. And I can't pretend I completely got what I wanted, my dick is still throbbing and…I tighten up my need down there. I can't afford to act reckless any further.I swallow hard, forcing myself to breathe properly, but all I can still smell is him. That same scent from that night, wrapping around me, sticking to my skin like it has every right to be there.It makes my stomach twist.I hate this.I hate him.But more than that, I hate the way my body just… responded.Like I didn’t even have a choice.“Shit…” I mutter under my breath, dragging my knees up a little as I press my head back against the wall.What the hell was that? Now all it takes is him and I lose my mind? Really?Tha
