All Chapters of Skating Into Submission: Chapter 31 - Chapter 38

I drop my forehead to the tile, forcing oxygen through my nostrils, reminding my system to remain grounded. The ultimate failure would be a full-blown panic attack. I’ve never experienced one, but with my airway already constricted by the tape, the consequences would be fatal.Ethan seizes my ankles, dragging my body across the floor back toward the kitchen area. I hear the harsh tear of fabric as he strips the remaining gear from my lower half. A broken sob muffled by the adhesive escapes me; the realization of what is about to happen is a physical blow.Flipped onto my back, I lash out with my heels and buck my hips, desperate to connect with a vital point. He drops his weight, straddling my torso and clamping both hands around my throat, cutting off my breath entirely. Salt stings the corners of my eyes, but I amplify my resistance. I refuse to let this cur win."Plead for him now!" he screeches, his saliva hitting my skin. "Go on, you exquisite little toy. Beg Mercer to claim you

He woke up exactly as Dr. Mori predicted he would—shattered. He was howling, thrashing against the exam table, claiming the oxygen was cut off and begging to strip the bindings from his face. I don't even think his conscious mind had registered the territory change; he was trapped in the suffocating dark of his wolf's primal panic. The doctor lunged forward to push another sedative through the line, but I blocked his advance with a low rumble in my chest. What assurance did we have that his beast wouldn't snap the same way upon the next revival? I had to ground my submissive myself, to pull him back to the ice, back to the present. Mori had already disconnected the line, and there was no power on this mountain that would make me hold Cain down just to let another needle pierce his flesh.When the doctor requested the room be cleared for a private diagnostic, my internal Alpha wanted to put him through the drywall. Over my unburied corpse would I leave his side. I never anticipated our

“My intent is not to damage your vessel.” Even as the warning tears from my throat, my hands surge upward, burying themselves deep within his damp silver hair and tilting his head back ruthlessly so I can force his gaze to lock with mine.“I command you to do it,” he rasps through a jagged breath, his tears spilling over the swollen edges of his eyelids. “I… I require the discipline, Alpha.”I shake my head, my inner wolf snarling because I already know my restraint is entirely compromised.The moment his fingers release their grip on my hard length, the oxygen rushes back into my lungs, but that fleeting relief is instantly incinerated when he drops his knees heavily to the floorboards.“Cain,” I growl, applying leverage to his silver locks to haul his frame back up to a standing posture, but his palm swats my hands away with sudden venom—capitalizing on my deliberate lack of force—and he takes my throbbing shaft directly into his mouth. “Cain!” I snap, the anger shifting inward at m

CAINIsolated on the ice, our internal beasts were our own worst liabilities, but unified? Our alignment is entirely explosive. An absolute elite line.I haven't offered a formal submission of regret for incinerating his performance vehicle, and my wolf never will. The arrogant bastard should have never documented our scenes on the mats, let alone broadcast the footage across the territory's digital grid. Besides, I am fully aware his alpha dominance will provoke my beast at some future intersection, and I will cheerfully reduce another piece of his luxury asset to cinders.“Have you established a frequency with Akira?” I ask Ryder, shifting my focus back to his position near the stone markers.He shakes his head, his jaw setting into a hard line. “Negative. She refuses to activate her terminal or acknowledge my digital pings.”I’ll dispatch a secure transmission to her tomorrow. I’ve remained deep inside the perimeter of the estate with Kai all week. I haven't even permitted Sienna t
