Twin Aces: Claimed by the Alpha Captain (MM Romance)의 모든 챕터: 챕터 11 - 챕터 20

Lucian POVI stood in front of the mirror in the bathroom, still feeling the weight of Orion's lips on mine. My hand was shaking as I lifted it to my mouth. My lips were red and swollen. They hurt. I turned on the water. Splashed some on my face. The cold water helped me think. I could still smell Orion. The smell of cedar wood and rain was over me, and it was strong. I fixed my shirt, buttoning it up to hide the skin on my neck."Get ready," someone from the team said, sticking his head into the bathroom. "The media is coming into the hall now. The coach wants the First Line to go there first."My stomach started to hurt. I was not safe anymore. We were not alone in the equipment room. Now the whole world was waiting to see me. The media were waiting to ask me questions. I did not know what to say. The First Line, including me, had to go and face all those people, and I was scared.I walked out into the corridor. Joined Orion. He looked calm; his dark hair was brushed nicely, his cha

Lucian POVThe water was not helping me anymore. I needed the steam to warm me up. I needed to scrub my skin hard until it hurt.I stayed in the locker room for a time. I waited until the lights in the hallway turned off. I waited until I heard the big front doors of the facility lock and the last of the Alphas drove away. I could not stop thinking about Miller’s look, the bright flashes of the cameras, and the scary voice of the reporter. They kept asking me the question over and over. Did you spend last night at Captain Kael's private residence? They were so close to knowing the truth.I walked into the empty team shower room. The room was lined with gray tiles and had twenty rain-shower heads on the walls. The air was cold and smelled like bleach.I took off my shirt and threw it on a bench. I took off my pants. Stood there with nothing on. I walked to the shower stall that was away and closed the glass door behind me.I turned the handle all the way to the left.The hot water star

Lucian POVThe morning I woke up in Orion's penthouse was really different.When I opened my eyes, the room was very quiet and cold. The blue lights on the walls made shadows on the dark gray walls. I moved my legs under the sheets, and I felt a sharp pain all over my body. My thighs hurt; my back was stiff. My muscles felt heavy. This was because of the game I played on the ice and the way Orion had been with me in the shower.I reached up to touch my neck. My skin felt very sensitive. I did not need to look in a mirror to know that I had a bruise there. I could still hear Orion's voice in my ears: You are mine on and off this ice.I sat up, rested my back against the soft headboard. On the table next to the bed, I saw a new glass of the dark purple medicine and a clean black shirt.I looked at the glass. I felt a scary thought in my chest.I did not hate the medicine anymore. In fact, my body wanted it. The medicine was the thing that kept me from feeling sick because of my Omega bio

Orion POVThe meeting with the bosses was such a waste of my time.I was sitting at this long table in the fancy room at the top of the building, staring at a huge screen that showed how much money we were making and how many people were coming to our games. My father's accountants were talking about how much to charge for tickets. They smelled so weak and boring. It was making me feel sick.My mind was not on the meeting. It was downstairs with the team.I kept thinking about what happened at practice that afternoon. Lucian was playing like he was crazy, running into people and trying to prove that he was still his own person. He was playing like that because he was scared of how much he had given in to me when we were alone in the showers. I knew my cedar scent was still all over him, marking him, but I also knew that the other guys on the team were getting suspicious. Miller and the other leaders were looking for a reason to cause trouble.Then I felt this feeling in my chest.It wa

Orion POVI sat behind the heavy glass desk in my private office at the top of the facility.The room was dark. The only light came from the grey afternoon sky through the big floor-to-ceiling windows. On the desk, there was a bowl of ice, a clean towel, and a glass of scotch. My knuckles were still wrapped tight in the white gauze Lucian had put there just an hour ago. Every time I moved my fingers, the skin pulled. It was a sharp reminder of the fight and the blood I had spilled in the weight room.My cedar scent was still heavy in the air. It was mixed with a tiny trace of Lucian’s sweet honey scent that I had carried up from the medical room. I had forced him to take a double dose of his medicine before locking him back in my penthouse bedroom. His body was safe for now, but the real trouble was just beginning.The heavy oak door to my office opened without a knock.A tall, grey-haired man walked into the room. He wore a dark wool coat over a very expensive suit. His face looked li
