Adrian Kessaro and Elliot Sorelli were sworn enemies. Vowed to crush each other on the ice, their bitter rivalry was absolute. But when their parents unexpectedly married, the two rivals were slapped with a new reality: stepbrothers forced under the same roof. That night, trapped in the narrow hallway of their shared house, the atmosphere turned electric. Adrian slammed his hand against the wall, trapping Elliot between the hard wood and his broad chest. "You've been pushing my buttons all day, Sorelli," Adrian murmured, his dark eyes burning with raw, unvarnished intensity. "Is that how eager you are to get my attention?" Elliot tilted his chin up, his gaze cold, unwavering, and sharp. "In your dreams, Kessaro. Why on earth would I want your attention?" "Because you love it," Adrian sneered softly, leaning down until their faces were inches apart. "I hate you," Elliot spat, his chest heaving against Adrian's. "Your mouth says that," Adrian whispered, his hand sliding up Elliot's neck, his thumb pressing lightly against his pulse point, "but your body seems to react to my touch." Adrian leaned in closer, his hot breath brushing over the shell of Elliot's ear, sending a sudden spike of tension straight through the air between them. "Tell me, Sorelli..." Adrian growled, his voice dropping into a dangerous whisper. "Do you hate me, or do you want me deep inside you?" Elliot and Adrian had been rivals for as long as they could remember, but everything changed when Maria and Richard got married. Just like that, they became stepbrothers and roommates, constantly competing against each other as a high-stakes bet draws them closer than they could ever imagine. When hatred bleeds into obsession, and a game for dominance threatens to break them both—who will be the first to surrender?
