CHAPTER 5
Last Updated:
2025-03-27 14:58:54The doorknob twisted.
Adrian’s breath caught as Julian’s gaze flickered toward the door. This wasn’t part of the game.
The moment shattered—the charged air between them, the heat, the competition—everything.
The knock came again, harder this time.
“Julian? Open up.”
Adrian clenched his jaw. Who the hell was outside?
Julian’s expression didn’t change, but Adrian noticed the slight shift in his stance—subtle, controlled, like a predator reassessing the situation.
Then, with an exhale, Julian reached for the handle and pulled the door open.
A guy stood on the other side, tall and broad, his face partially obscured by the dim hallway light.
Adrian didn’t recognize him. But Julian did.
A slow smirk curled on Julian’s lips, but it didn’t reach his eyes.
“What a surprise.”
The guy leaned against the doorway, gaze flickering between Julian and Adrian.
“Didn’t know you had company,” he mused, voice low, unreadable.
Julian shrugged lazily. “Didn’t know you cared.”
The guy scoffed. “Please. You’re the least of my concerns.”
Something about his tone made Adrian’s muscles tense.
Julian tilted his head, amusement dancing in his gaze, but Adrian could see the undercurrent beneath it—a sharp, unreadable edge.
Adrian shifted slightly, posture guarded. “You gonna introduce us, or are we just supposed to guess?”
Julian hummed, dragging out the moment. “Adrian, meet someone who doesn’t matter.”
The guy’s smirk didn’t falter. “Charming as ever.”
Adrian’s patience wore thin. “You knocking just to waste our time, or is there a point to this?”
The guy chuckled. “Oh, there’s a point.”
His eyes met Julian’s again, something unspoken passing between them.
Then, casually, he said, “You should be careful who you play with, Julian.”
Julian’s smirk remained, but his fingers curled slightly at his side.
Adrian caught it.
He frowned. What the hell was this?
Julian leaned against the doorframe, voice light. “Funny. I don’t recall asking for advice.”
The guy shrugged. “Suit yourself.”
Then, with one last glance at Adrian, he turned and walked away, disappearing down the hall.
Julian shut the door with a slow, deliberate motion.
Silence.
Adrian folded his arms. “What the hell was that?”
Julian exhaled, rolling his shoulders as if shaking something off. Then, as if nothing had happened, he turned to Adrian and smirked.
“Where were we?”
Adrian stared at him. “Seriously?”
Julian stepped closer. “Unless you’re forfeiting.”
Adrian’s irritation flared. He wasn’t going to let Julian distract him. Not this time.
“Not a chance.”
Julian’s smirk deepened. “Good.”
Then, without warning, he grabbed Adrian’s wrist and yanked him forward.
Adrian stumbled slightly, caught off guard—but Julian was already pressing him back against the wall, his body close, his heat suffocating.
Julian’s lips ghosted near his ear.
“My turn.”
Adrian’s pulse spiked.
Julian leaned in further, his voice a whisper.
“I dare you… to let me blindfold you.”
Adrian stiffened.
Julian pulled back just enough to meet his gaze, waiting.
The room felt too hot, too charged.
Adrian’s first instinct was to tell him to fuck off. To never let his guard down.
But that would mean losing.
His jaw tightened. “Fine.”
Julian’s smirk was slow, dangerous.
He turned, grabbing something from a drawer—a long strip of black silk.
Adrian swallowed. Fuck.
Julian stepped behind him, and before Adrian could think twice, the fabric slid over his eyes, cutting off his vision.
Darkness.
His other senses sharpened. He could feel Julian’s breath near him, feel the way his body radiated heat.
Then—a soft touch.
Fingertips trailing down his arm.
Adrian held still.
Julian chuckled, low and teasing. “You’re so tense.”
Adrian exhaled sharply. “Just get on with it.”
Julian’s fingers ghosted over his skin again.
“Impatient.”
Then, suddenly—Julian was gone.
Adrian frowned.
Silence.
The air shifted slightly, but he couldn’t tell where Julian was.
The anticipation sent a strange thrill down his spine—a mix of irritation and something deeper, something dangerous.
Then—
A hand gripped his jaw.
Adrian sucked in a sharp breath.
Julian’s voice was right in front of him.
“Your turn.”
Adrian’s lips parted slightly, his heartbeat hammering. He needed to regain control.
So he did the only thing he could think of.
He reached out—and grabbed Julian’s wrist.
A sharp inhale.
Adrian smirked, even blindfolded. “I dare you to let me take control.”
Silence stretched between them.
Then—Julian laughed.
It wasn’t his usual, controlled amusement. It was darker.
“You think you’re in control?”
Adrian clenched his jaw. “That was the dare.”
Julian was quiet for a moment.
Then, softly—
“I accept.”
Adrian barely had time to react before Julian pressed forward—
And their mouths crashed together.
The blindfold heightened everything—the sensation, the heat, the loss of control.
Julian kissed like he wanted to break him.
And for the first time—
Adrian wasn’t sure if he wanted to fight back.
Julian’s hands gripped his waist, pulling him closer, his body solid and unrelenting.
Adrian’s breath hitched. His body moved before his mind caught up, fingers tangling into Julian’s shirt, gripping hard.
Julian’s laugh vibrated against his lips. “Thought you wanted control?”
Adrian growled, flipping their positions—Julian’s back hit the wall this time.
Julian inhaled sharply, but his smirk remained. “Better.”
Adrian barely had time to process the rush in his veins when—
A sound outside the door.
A low voice.
Adrian tensed.
Julian pulled back, exhaling against his lips. “Company.”
Adrian’s breath was still uneven as he yanked the blindfold off, his vision adjusting to the dim lighting. Julian stood in front of him, his smirk laced with something almost smug—like he’d won a game Adrian hadn’t even realized they were playing.
But before Adrian could speak, a sharp knock shattered the tension.
His pulse stuttered.
Julian’s smirk faded, his gaze snapping toward the door.
The knock came again, harder this time.
Adrian wasn’t sure why, but something about it felt wrong.
Then—
The handle turned.
And as the door swung open, Adrian’s stomach dropped.
Because the person standing there wasn’t just an interruption.
They were a threat.

Chapter 6The moment the door swung open, Adrian’s stomach dropped.Because the person standing there wasn’t just an interruption.They were a threat.Leo Carter.A teammate. Not a particularly close one, but familiar enough. Leo was a forward on the team—a decent player, known for being a little too nosy and always hanging around the wrong conversations.Right now, his sharp brown eyes darted between them, taking in the scene too quickly. Adrian shirtless, Julian standing way too close, tension crackling in the air. The way Julian hadn’t moved an inch, his expression as unreadable as ever.A slow smirk tugged at Julian’s lips, but Adrian wasn’t fooled. Behind that amused front was something colder—calculating.“What do you want, Carter?” Julian asked smoothly, his tone bored.Leo hesitated. His mouth opened, then closed. Then, like he had decided on something, he cleared his throat and shrugged.“Didn’t know this room was taken.” His voice was too casual. Too forced.Adrian’s jaw cl

Adrian’s grip tightened around his phone, his pulse roaring in his ears. The words on the screen blurred for a moment as his mind raced."You should be more careful. Secrets don’t stay hidden forever."Who sent this?His stomach twisted as his gaze darted back to Leo. His teammate was still tying his skates, looking completely at ease—too at ease. That smirk hadn’t faded. If anything, it deepened when he caught Adrian staring.Adrian forced himself to take a breath. He couldn’t react. Not here. Not now.Instead, he slipped his phone back into his pocket, schooling his expression into something neutral.

Chapter 8Adrian couldn’t focus.Not in the locker room. Not during practice. Not even in the damn shower when all he wanted was to scrub away the frustration burning under his skin.Leo hadn’t said a word. He hadn’t made any obvious moves. But that was the problem. It was too quiet.And the quiet was unbearable.Adrian knew how things worked—if someone was planning to screw you over, they didn’t wait. They struck fast. But Leo? He was waiting. Watching. Toying with him like a predator dragging out the inevitable kill.The tension had even started affecting his game. His shots were just slightly off, his reactions slower. Coach noticed. Julian noticed.Which was why, after another brutal practice where Julian completely humiliated him on the ice, Adrian was nearly shaking with rage by the time they got to the locker room."You're slipping, Kingston," Julian drawled from his bench, peeling off his gear with infuriating ease. "Should I be worried? Or is something—" His smirk sharpened.

Adrian barely slept. Even after showering off the sweat and heat from last night, even after forcing himself under the covers and staring at the ceiling for hours—his mind wouldn’t shut up. Every time he closed his eyes, Julian was there. Every taunt, every smirk, the way he’d pressed Adrian into the wall, controlling him with nothing but sheer presence. The way Adrian had let him. And then there was Leo. His smug, knowing stare. The cryptic warning. Adrian had checked his phone the second he woke up, half-expecting another message from the unknown number. But there was nothing. Just silence. And somehow, that was worse. By the time he dragged himself out of bed, his body ached—not just from lack of sleep, but from the tension coiled so tightly in his chest he felt like he might snap in half. He needed to clear his head. He needed to focus. Practice would help. At least, that’s what he told himself. The rink was colder than usual, or maybe it was just him. The second

Chapter 10Adrian hadn’t slept.Even with exhaustion dragging at his limbs, his mind refused to shut off. Leo’s message replayed over and over in his head, a slow, insidious drip of paranoia."Careful, Captain. Play your little game with Julian if you want, but secrets have a way of catching up to you."Leo knew. Maybe not everything, but he knew enough to make Adrian’s stomach twist with unease. And the worst part? Adrian had no idea what he wanted. If Leo had evidence—proof—why not use it already? Why send warnings instead? Was he toying with him? Waiting for the perfect moment to strike?By the time morning practice rolled around, Adrian felt strung out. He barely touched his breakfast, stomach churning with dread. His usual routine—wake up, train, focus—felt foreign, like a script he could no longer follow.And then there was Julian.Adrian had spent so much energy worrying about Leo that he’d almost let himself forget last night.

The locker room was nearly empty, the distant hum of showers running in the background. Adrian sat on the bench, scrolling mindlessly through his phone. His muscles still ached from practice, but it was nothing compared to the exhaustion simmering beneath his skin.Leo was gone—out sick. The timing unsettled him. One day, Leo was breathing down his neck, smirking like he knew everything. The next, he was out of the picture. And Julian—Adrian swallowed hard.Julian had said something the night before. “I’ll take care of him.” It had been a flippant comment, but now, it gnawed at Adrian like a slow-spreading infection.Had Julian done something?No. That was ridiculous. Coincidence, nothing more.He sighed, rubbing a hand over his face, then stood to grab his bag.“You’re still here?”The voice was smooth, amused—Julian.Adrian tensed but didn’t turn immediately. He could hear the smirk in Julian’s tone, like he found some twisted joy in pushing Adrian’s buttons.“I was just leaving,”
