Pucking Forbidden Claim His Question
Kade POVSitting down, Rook looks at me.“Are you jealous?” I ask, and he shrugs, avoiding my gaze.“No, but, well, not...” He stops, and I laugh.“That’s a yes,” I whisper.He rolls his eyes, finally looking at me properly. “I’m not jealous, I’m simply…” He stops again like he’s actually struggling to put it into words.“You’re jealous,” I repeat, grinning, waiting for him to admit it.“Okay, maybe a little.” He huffs, arms crossing. “Six months ago, you were on the hockey side of life. Now, you’re more on my father’s side.”He’s not wrong.Six months ago, I had never considered actually helping Nikolai. Sure, I mentioned throwing the games when needed, but that’s as far as it went.But, the last six months of living here, seeing how Rook is with his father, somehow, I ended up offering to help. And that? That makes Rook jealous.He’s looking at me weird, and I laugh.“Don’t laugh. You didn’t come to bed last night,” he mutters, glaring.“I did,” I argue.“No, that was at four a.m. t

Kade POVThis life, Harlow, the family we’ve built here, it’s real. And somehow, I already know I’m never walking away from it.Not from him. Not from this.I let out a slow breath, closing the box and slipping it into my pocket.“Guess I really did lose,” I mutter.Rook grins. “Obviously. You didn't see that coming? What else do I ask for these days Mercer?”Rook leans back into the couch, legs stretched out, looking completely at ease like he didn’t just drop a fucking engagement ring into my hand and suddenly end the conversation.Meanwhile, I’m sitting here, pocketing the damn thing, trying to process the fact that I’m apparently engaged now.Harlow lets out a small noise, her little face scrunching up as she wiggles against my chest, reminding me she’s still here.Rook grins, reaching over to run a hand over her tiny back. “You gonna wear a dress for the wedding, little one?”I snort, shaking my head. “You’ve got to be kidding me.”“What? I’m just saying, she’d look cute.” He gri

Kade POVI push myself up from the chair. “Right, I’m going to go finish this email declining the sponsor.”Nikolai just nods, already moving on to something else.I step out, heading to the living room, settling onto the couch and pulling up my phone.It’s quiet for about two minutes.Then the front door opens.“Sweetheart, I’m home, and I’ve got a surprise!”Oh, fuck. “No!” I shout, immediately standing up.“Wait, stop running!” Rook calls after me.“No, keep it! I don’t want it. I’m used to your fucking surprises, Rook!”Because I know better.The last few surprises he brought home? A goldfish in a plastic bag—he named it Mr. Pucks, which lasted a whole three days.Before that? A giant stuffed snake. No reason. Just walked in, tossed it at me, and said, ‘This is you now.’Then there was the time he came in grinning ear to ear, holding a cake. I thought, Okay, finally a normal surprise.Nope.It was a gender reveal cake.For what? I still have no fucking clue. Then he came home with

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

Kade POVRook walks off with Louise, and I can hear him muttering about the wedding.I stand by what I think. He doesn’t actually care. He only cares because it annoys me.“Kade,” Amelia whispers, pulling my attention back to her.“I said I wouldn’t shout, and I won’t,” I reassure her, motioning toward the chairs.She moves first, sitting down carefully, and I follow, taking the seat opposite.“How have you been, really?” I ask, watching her closely. “Now that I can see your face, tell me the truth.”There’s hesitation in her eyes. She’s lied.“Why wouldn’t you just say on the phone?” I push. “Rather than keep saying you were fine?”“I wanted to do it alone,” she whispers.I laugh, shaking my head. “Amelia, you didn’t. Nikolai ensured you got the job. He was the one who told the guy t

Kade POVSilence lingers for a moment before I exhale, rubbing the back of my neck. “Alright, so what’s your plan?”Amelia hesitates, looking down at her hands. “I don’t know,” she admits. “If I go home, I have to work because I have nowhere else to stay. If I try to go to college, Mom won’t let me live there, and I don’t have the money to pay for a place on my own. So I have to keep working, save up, and maybe in a year or two, I can actually go back.”I frown, leaning back in my chair. “So that’s it? You’re going to waste years just trying to get into college instead of actually going?”She lets out a humorless laugh. “What else am I supposed to do, Kade? It’s not like I have options.”I stare at her for a moment before making a decision. “If you’re serious about college, and you’ll actually stick to it, I have a solution.&rdquo

Rook POVGetting married without Louise and Amelia didn’t feel right. No matter how much Kade acted like it didn’t matter, I knew it did. So yeah, I snuck Louise out without his mothers approval. And yeah, I didn’t warn him.He’ll get over it.I also knew he was worried about Amelia. Every time she said she’s fine or she’s happy over the phone, he knew it was bullshit. People can lie easily when they don’t have to be seen, and Amelia? She’s stubborn as hell, just like Kade.She’d never admit she needed help. I figured the only way to make her accept it was to get her in front of Kade, let him see for himself. Once she was here, she didn’t stand a chance at hiding the truth.Harlow grins up at me from where she’s perched in my lap, her tiny hands reaching for the tie on my hoodie. She tugs at it with surprising strength, and I watch as she works to pull it completely

Rook POV“But… you have Harlow. She’s not eighteen,” Louise argues, crossing her arms as she stares Kade down.“That’s different,” Kade sighs, clearly running low on patience. “Amelia didn’t want her and signed away her rights.”“So, can’t Amelia just tell them I want to stay there and make Mom agree?”Kade groans, rubbing his hands over his face. Louise is relentless, and I kind of love it.“No,” he mutters. “Amelia isn’t old enough to be your guardian. The courts wouldn’t allow it.”She frowns. “But you can.”Dad chuckles from across the room, watching as Kade slowly loses his shit.“No, I can’t,” Kade snaps.“Why?” Louise pushes. “You have Harlow, why not me?”Kade doesn’t answer, because the only thing he can say is that it’s differ

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
