Rook POV

The moment we step further in, Wes is the first to spot us, raising his drink with a loud whistle. “Well, look who finally showed up! About damn time you locked him down, Volkov!”

Smirking, I steer Kade toward them. “Please, Mercer’s been obsessed with me for years. He just wouldn’t admit it.”

Kade groans beside me, and Liam claps him on the back. “For real, congrats, man. Can’t believe you’re stuck with this asshole for life, though.”

“You and me both,” Kade mutters, though his grip on me doesn’t loosen.

Liam shakes his head. “Seriously though, good game the other night. You got lucky.”

“Nothing lucky about it.” Kade scoffs.

Wes grins. “Yeah? Because from where I was sitting, you looked desperate.”

Before Kade can fire back, my father’s voice cuts through the space.

“Rook.”

  • Pucking Forbidden Claim   Our Moment

    Kade POVThe weight of the chain around my neck feels solid and grounding. It’s not uncomfortable. If anything, it fits. In that room, surrounded by Nikolai’s men, I didn’t feel out of place. Maybe six months ago, I would have. But now? I’ve been working with them, sitting at Nikolai’s table, handling things in the background when needed. Most of the men in that room, I already knew.It wasn’t some dramatic initiation, no life-or-death test. I had already proven myself in ways that mattered. It was more like the final confirmation, an unspoken agreement between me and them. I wasn’t just Rook’s husband now. I was part of this world.And I didn’t mind it.That’s the part that should probably worry me.But I don’t have time to think too hard about it, because the second we step into the reception, the atmosphere shifts. The weight of the ceremony is gone, replaced by n

  • Pucking Forbidden Claim   Happy

    Kade POVThe lyrics fill the space between us, but the meaning is already there in his eyes. And fuck, if the lyrics aren't the truth.Rook spins me suddenly, catching me off guard, and I laugh as I nearly stumble. He steadies me, grinning like he planned it.“Dick,” I mutter.“My dick,” he corrects smugly. “And don’t forget it.”I shake my head, but I can’t fight the smile.By the time the song ends, the room erupts into applause, and I barely notice. Because Rook’s still looking at me like I’m the best damn thing he’s ever had.Rook is quiet, too quiet.His hands are steady on me, his grip firm, but there’s none of his usual teasing. No sarcastic comments, no taunts, no attempts to fluster me in front of everyone. Just his eyes locked on mine, serious in a way that makes my chest tighten.I don’t think I’ve ever seen h

  • Pucking Forbidden Claim   Fears

    Rook POVKade still clings to me, his head resting against mine, our bodies pressed together like he’s anchoring himself. My grip on him tightens for a moment, grounding both of us in this moment, in what just happened.There was never a doubt in my mind about how I felt about him, but if I’m being honest with myself, really honest. A small part of me had always wondered if he was here because he truly loved me or if it was just comfort, something familiar he had grown used to.I ignored it, shoved it aside every time it tried to creep in, but it was there. Because Kade wasn’t like me. He didn’t say it, didn’t make big, dramatic declarations the way I did. He was stubborn, guarded, always pushing against things that made him vulnerable.But hearing him say it, without a fight, without hesitation, it settled something in me I didn’t even realize was still restless.Eventually, I pull back, letting my arms drop fro

  • Pucking Forbidden Claim   Our Time

    Rook POVHe’s not just sitting in on meetings, taking notes, he actively helps my father. More than I do these days.“You know no one can replace you, right?” my father says, watching me carefully.“That’s not the issue. I’m not jealous or worried.”“Then what?”I exhale, glancing back at Kade, who’s laughing at something one of the guys said. “I don’t know. He seems so at ease with hurting people, with making sure people follow the rules. Like it doesn’t affect him. Six months ago, he would have run from all this.”My father watches me for a moment, then follows my gaze toward Kade. “You’re overthinking it,” he finally says.“Am I?” I mutter, still studying Kade as he leans against the table, relaxed, like he belongs there.My father sips his drink. “Yes. He’s adapted because he wanted to. You’re

  • Pucking Forbidden Claim   Just Us

    Kade POVI know exactly what this place is. How could I not?It’s hard to forget that first day, the first time we faced off as rivals instead of just two guys gunning for the same future. Sure, back in training, we went at each other, pushing limits, testing skills. But at the end of the day, there was always the chance we’d end up on the same team, so it never went too far.Then we got signed. Separate teams. And our first pro game? Against each other.It was chaos. Fast, brutal, everything it was supposed to be. Neither of us held back. We fought, full-blown, gloves-off, refs-pulling-us-apart kind of fight. Five minutes in the box, bruises forming before the game even finished. But that was it. That was the moment that set the course for everything.Always at each other. Always pushing. Always fighting.And the crazy bastard loved it.They say kids pick on the ones they like, that boys push girls around

  • Pucking Forbidden Claim   Night

    Kade POV“I’m never letting you go,” he says, the teasing moment gone, replaced by something heavier, something real. “You know that, right?”I nod, tugging him closer, brushing my lips against his. “Good. Because you’re stuck with me now, forever.”His grip tightens around me as he grins. “Forever, huh? Bold claim. I don’t know, Mercer, that’s a long-ass time.”I smirk, running my fingers along the nape of his neck. “Too late, you already signed the papers.”“Shit. Should’ve read the fine print.” His laugh is warm against my skin before he presses his forehead to mine. “So,” he murmurs, tilting his head. “Was that worth waiting for?”A quiet chuckle escapes me as I press a lazy kiss to his shoulder. “Definitely. Though I wouldn’t have minded if we’d gotten here sooner.”He groans dramat

  • Pucking Forbidden Claim   Wake Up Call

    Rook POVI wake to Kade muttering, his voice tense. Day one, and I haven’t even got my eyes open before he’s already stomping around the damn hotel room like the world’s about to end.Sitting up, I blink at him as he holds my phone to his ear.“What the fuck?” My voice is rough from sleep, and he barely spares me a glance before tossing his phone at me.“Check it,” he mutters, still focused on his call.Not a great start to the morning. With a sigh, I rub my face and glance at the screen. My body locks up instantly.My head snaps to the side, eyes narrowing at him. “Got it already,” Kade snaps at me, holding up a camera I hadn’t even noticed he was gripping. Then he goes back to talking like this is a normal fucking morning.“Hello?” I shout at him. “Why the fuck wouldn’t you wake me and let me know?” I snap, gripping his phone tightly.“You were asleep, didn’t want to wake you.” His tone is too casual for the shit I’m seeing.I hold out my hand. “Give me the phone. Let me talk to my

  • Pucking Forbidden Claim   hONESTY

    Rook POVHe’s serious. He really isn’t phased by this. If anything, he’s more annoyed that I’m pressing the issue than the fact the whole world thinks they know what happens between us.Shaking my head, I release him and sit back on his lap, letting my hands drop to his chest. “Unbelievable,” I mutter. “All this time I thought I was the reckless one.”Kade smirks, rubbing his hands over my thighs. “You are the reckless one. I just don’t see the point in flipping over something I can’t change.”I huff, rolling my eyes. “Right. You can’t change it. But you sure as hell can make sure it never happens again.”He leans back, stretching his arms behind his head. “Already handled. Your father’s men are on it. Whoever put the cameras there is already regretting it, trust me.”That makes me feel slightly better. But only slightly. I still don’t like that someone thought they could invade our space like that. Our wedding night. It doesn’t matter that Kade’s indifferent about the pictures. That’

    Kade POVFinally, he exhales, looking out toward the lake. “I used to imagine what it’d be like if we weren’t always fighting, you know?”I stay silent, letting him keep going.“If we weren’t always trying to one-up each other on the ice, or arguing over who was the bigger dumbass in the relationship,” he continues. “What it’d be like to just… exist together. Without all the extra shit.”I take a step closer. “And?”He shrugs, eyes flicking back to mine. “I think I’d like it.”I grin because that’s as close to a confession as I’m going to get from him.Rook sighs, shaking his head. “You’re so fucking smug right now, aren’t you?”“A little.”He huffs but doesn’t push me away when I grab his wrist and pull him closer. The lanterns glow softly around us, the lake stretching o

  • Pucking Forbidden Claim   Time Together

    Kade POVSitting here, I watch Rook, really watch him, and I can see it. The way his fingers tighten slightly around his glass, the way his jaw tenses just a little too much. He’s worried.I get it. This is a shift neither of us expected. I didn’t even expect it. But the more I think about it, the more I know this is what needs to happen.Sure, I love hockey, and I always will, but it takes time away from work, which then takes time away from Rook. If I have to choose, I’ll take him every time, and maybe that’s the biggest difference.For years, I didn’t think I had a choice. Hockey was survival. Work was control. Everything else was just existing between the cracks. Rook just existed between the cracks. Now, I can choose, and I want to I choose him.Leaning forward, I rest my arms on the table, waiting until his eyes flick back to mine. “I’m not saying I won’t play again, Rook. I’m saying I wan

  • Pucking Forbidden Claim   His Decision.

    Rook POVI swallow, gripping the edge of the table. “So, what? You’re just done with it?” I need to know, I need to try and understand his reasoning behind this. It's not a small change, it's big. It's not simply cutting back how much he plays and trains, it's stopping, entirely. I can't just, accept that, not without knowing that he's sure. Totally sure.“I don’t know.” His voice is quieter now, like even he doesn’t have a clear answer. “I just know that for the first time in my life, I have a choice.”A choice, that's what this is all about, this isn’t just about hockey at all, this is about everything. About him finally feeling like he’s not fighting for every single thing in his life. I don’t know if I should be proud of him for realizing that… or fucking terrified of what it means for us.I shake my head, trying to process this. “How do you suddenly go from loving ho

  • Pucking Forbidden Claim   Taunting

    Rook POVMaybe this trip really is what we needed and maybe, for once, we can actually just be.Dinner is easy. The kind of normal we don’t usually get. We order, we eat, and we talk. Actually talk, without me feeling like I have to pry every word out of him.At some point, the conversation shifts to hockey. It’s familiar territory, something we’ve always been able to talk about no matter how much shit was going on.Kade twirls the last bite of pasta on his fork, glancing up at me. “So, how pissed were you when I didn’t show up for the game?”I scoff. “How pissed? I was fucking livid. Thought about hunting your ass down and dragging you onto the ice myself.”He smirks. “Wouldn’t be the first time you’ve manhandled me.”Rolling my eyes, I groan. “Don’t try and turn this into something else. You left me to deal with a fucking rookie.”Kade c

  • Pucking Forbidden Claim   Holiday

    Rook POVThe villa is fucking ridiculous. The kind of place you see in movies, huge windows that overlook the lake, open spaces, marble floors that I know I’m going to hate walking on in the morning when they’re cold as hell.Kade steps inside first, rolling his shoulders like he’s preparing himself for something, but I ignore it, walking straight past him and toward the bedroom. “Come on, we’re going out.”He groans behind me. “We just got here.”“And?” I glance over my shoulder, smirking. “Did you think I was going to let you sit inside and mope?”He mutters something under his breath, but I don’t wait for him, grabbing my bag and pulling out fresh clothes. By the time I’m dressed, Kade has finally dragged his ass to change too, standing in front of the mirror adjusting his shirt.He looks good. Annoyingly good. Like he belongs in this kind

    Kade POV“If I handle my shit, me, not you, because it’s me fucking things up, then we come back to the conversation in six months.”He groans. “Six months?”“You’re acting like it’s years.”He nods quickly. “In Rook time, that is years.”“Rook time? What are you now, a fucking dog?” I laugh, and he nods without hesitation.“If it works for them, it works for me!”“You’re delusional. Do you agree or not?” I look at him, waiting.Chewing his lip, he tilts his head before finally nodding. “Deal. Six months, and we get a kid.”“No, that is not what I fucking said.” I glare at him.“Would you even know if I did it without you?” He smirks.I glare harder. “The screaming baby when I came home would be proof you had. Six months, and we talk.”His grin widens, but at least he doesn’t argue. Instead, he stretches out in his seat, looking far too pleased with himself.I narrow my eyes. “You’re not going

  • Pucking Forbidden Claim   His Request

    Kade POVThe sound of Rook pulls me from my sleep. Groaning, I try to get more comfortable.“Kade,” he whispers, and I groan.“No.” I’m sleeping. He can leave me alone.“Wake up.”Shaking my head, I keep my eyes closed. “Shh.”He chuckles quietly. “You need to wake up.”“Five more minutes,” I whisper.“As nice as it has been to have you this close for the last, like, eight hours, the plane is descending, and my body is numb.”I move slightly and realize. “Shit.” I fell asleep on him. I pull back slightly, and he’s smirking at me. “Sorry.”“It was highly amusing. One moment we were talking, then you were snoring in my ear. No warning, nothing.”I rub my face, trying to wake myself up. “I slept the whole flight?”“You did. On me.” He smirks, and I nod.“Sorry. You should have woken me and told me to move.” What sort of idiot doesn’t? I remember we got cleaned up and dressed. Then he pulled me back onto him.What the hell were we talking about? My mind tries to think back. I just remembe

  • Pucking Forbidden Claim   His Secret

    Rook POVKade’s fingers move to undo the rest of my buttons, and I lift my hips to help him slide my trousers down. His eyes never leave mine, and I can see the fire in them. I reach up and run my fingers through his hair, pulling him closer to me.His hand wraps around my cock and I shudder at the touch, my body betraying my earlier reservations. He smirks, knowing he’s won this round, and leans in to press a kiss to my neck. The sensation of his lips on my skin sends a thrill down my spine, and I can’t help but let out a low moan.Kade takes this as encouragement and continues to explore my body with his mouth. His tongue traces a path along my collarbone, and I can feel my resolve weakening with every passing second. I try to remind myself that this isn’t the right time, that we have more important things to focus on, but it’s hard to think straight when Kade is making me feel this good.He drops to his knees in front of me and I can feel his hot breath on my cock, and I know what’s

  • Pucking Forbidden Claim   Space

    Rook POVKade hasn’t moved much since he finally let himself collapse into me. He’s still pressed against my side, his head resting against my shoulder, his breathing is slower now, but there’s still something off. He’s not asleep, but he’s not really here either. He’s stuck somewhere in his own fucking head, lost in thoughts I can’t pull him out of, so I just sit here with him, my arm around him, my hand rubbing slow, steady circles on his back.I don’t rush him, I don’t tell him to get up, get over it, and move on.I just wait, because for once, he’s not trying to pretend.The car slows, the subtle shift in movement telling me we’ve arrived at the airstrip. I glance out the window and see the jet waiting, the engines already running, ready to take us the fuck away from here.Damon is standing by the car before we even get out, his face unreadable as he opens the door. “Rose t
