“The point,” he gritted out, “would be for everyone to know you’re mine.”
“What if I don’t want that?” I swear I heard him growl.
“You can make up all the rules you want. Lie to me, hell, lie to yourself that this bond won’t happen, but the fact remains that it will. You were made for me.” His grip on my chin tightened, and his gaze dipped low. “And I’ll be damned if I let you deny it.”
He leaned down and ran the tip of his nose along my cheek, inhaling deeply.
Crap.
I shouldn’t like this.

Getting cheated on by my boyfriend was supposed to be the worst thing that happened to me.
Then I kissed the first man I could find to prove I was over him.
One kiss.
That was all it took to turn my life upside down.
Because the man I kissed wasn’t a stranger.
He was my ex’s rival.
The campus hockey star I’d spent months avoiding.
And apparently, he had a much bigger claim on me than I ever expected.
Now I’m living under the same roof as the man who makes my body betray every rule my heart has made.
He wants me.
I refuse to want him.
But every time he looks at me like I’m already his…
I start wondering how long I can keep pretending I don’t want the same thing.
