EXCLUSIVE NIGHT WITH MY HOCKEY MAN

EXCLUSIVE NIGHT WITH MY HOCKEY MAN

“You can’t keep following me like this, Travis.” My voice trembles even though I try to sound firm. He only smirks, stepping closer, close enough that I can feel the warmth of his breath. “Then stop running, little canary.” I swear my heart skips a beat. I should push him away. I should tell him to leave me alone. But how can I, when last night still burns on my skin, and his lies are already tangled with mine? I think college will be my escape—a normal life, a chance to breathe without Juan’s shadow watching my every move. But then Travis walks in, dragging me into a dangerous game of secrets and desire I can’t untangle myself from. One text from him, one look, one touch—and suddenly, I’m not sure if I’m protecting myself from Travis, or from the truth of how much I want him. And the worst part? If Juan ever finds out, Travis won’t be the only one in danger.

Chapter: CHAPTER 5 - COLLECTING WHAT'S MINE
(Adeline’s POV)I stared blankly at the whiteboard, trying to follow the professor’s ramblings on abnormal behavior theories, but my brain had officially checked out the moment I stepped into class.My leg bounced under the desk, hands nervously clutching my pen as I scribbled useless notes that made no sense.Stay calm. Focus, Adeline. Focus.But it was impossible.My heart wouldn’t stop racing, and every few seconds, flashes of last night slammed into my head like waves. Travis’s lips, his touch, his damn smirk that could set any sane girl on fire. It was a mess. I was a mess.I squeezed my eyes shut. Get it together, Adeline.The worst part? My phone kept vibrating every now and then in my bag. I didn’t have to look to know who it was.The unknown number that popped up just an hour ago, right before class started, was enough proof.Travis.I hadn’t replied, hadn’t even dared to open the chat, afraid that if I saw his words again, my cheeks would catch fire right there in the middle

Chapter: CHAPTER 4 - MY PREY
(Travis’s POV)The morning air still clung to my skin, cool and sharp, as I pushed open the door to my villa after a quick run around the neighborhood. I wasn’t usually a morning person—especially after a night of heavy drinking—but something about this morning had me restless.Or maybe… someone.My pace quickened as I headed upstairs. Part of me was curious, part concerned. Mostly, I just wanted to see if she was awake.Little canary.I didn’t expect her to stay the night. Honestly, I didn’t expect the night to go the way it did. But it had.And now… I couldn’t get her out of my damn head.I reached the bedroom door, nudged it open—and stopped.The bed was empty.Her wrinkled dress was gone from the armrest. The scent of her skin lingered in the air, subtle and teasing.But Adeline? She was gone.A slow smirk tugged at my lips.“She ran away,” I murmured, amused. “Cute.”I leaned against the doorframe for a moment, picturing the way she must’ve crept down the stairs in that too-short

Chapter: CHAPTER 3 - RUNNING AWAY, LITTLE CANARY?
(Adeline’s POV)A groan escaped my lips the moment I stirred awake, my head throbbing like I’d been hit by a freight train. Sunlight pierced through the curtains, stabbing at my eyes. I squeezed them shut, grimacing as I shifted my body—only to freeze.Something was… off.I blinked my eyes open, glancing down. My heart shot up to my throat.“Holy… hell,” I whispered.I was in a strange bed, clothed in nothing but an oversized t-shirt that clearly wasn’t mine.No panties. No bra.Just… bare skin underneath the soft fabric that smelled faintly of expensive cologne and something deeply masculine.And then it hit me.Flashes of last night’s recklessness played like a movie reel in my head—the loud music, the drinks, the wicked glint in Travis’s eyes, my daring words, his hands gripping my hips… the heated kisses… the way he whispered my name like it was a sin and a prayer.“Oh my God,” I gasped, hands flying to my mouth as I sat up straight.I had slept with Travis.Juan’s sworn enemy, th

Chapter: CHAPTER 2 - DIRTY SLUT
(Travis’s POV)I shouldn’t have brought her here.The moment I saw those wide, doe-like eyes staring up at me—half defiant, half curious—I knew Juan’s warnings were justified.Adeline wasn’t the harmless little sister I’d imagined. She was a firecracker dressed in purple, and the longer I stayed near her, the more dangerous it became… for both of us.And yet… here she was. In my villa. In my upstairs bedroom. Sitting on the edge of the bed, looking like sin wrapped in innocence.“This is a bad idea,” I muttered, running a hand through my hair as I stood by the door.I should’ve taken her straight back to Juan, but Adeline had practically dragged me up here herself, eyes sparkling from the drinks she’d had… drinks I should’ve stopped her from finishing.Her cheeks were flushed, lips parted. Her blazer was already abandoned on the floor, leaving her in that ridiculous excuse of a dress.“Bad idea?” She tilted her head, her voice soft but mischievous. “Then why aren’t you leaving?”Good

Chapter: CHAPTER 1 - LITTLE CANARY
(Adeline’s POV)“Dwarf, hurry up!”Juan’s voice thundered from downstairs. Irritation laces every word.I rolled my eyes while struggling to clasp the back of my dress. It was already 7 p.m., and clearly, he was getting impatient.Let him wait.He was the one who dragged me to his hockey team’s victory celebration. I could’ve stayed home, ordered takeout, and watched trashy reality TV.Finally, done.I grabbed my purse and headed downstairs.“Stop calling me Dwarf,” I snapped as my heels clicked against the stairs.Juan’s scowl shifted into shock the moment his eyes landed on me.“What the hell are you wearing?!” he demanded, eyes narrowing.“It’s called a dress,” I said innocently, twirling slightly. “You know, the thing normal girls wear to parties?”Juan stalked over, grabbing a jacket from the coat rack.“Fucking don’t care. Wear this.”I frowned. “Why? It’s not like I’m naked!”“You want all the alphas there to finish you off in the fucking bed?!” His tone sharpened. “Wear a blaz

Owned By My Best Friend's Uncle

Owned By My Best Friend's Uncle

I make a mistake. A rash and intoxicating mistake. One night. A stranger. A fire that burns my skin and leaves me breathless. But when the morning light comes, I run—leaving behind nothing but shame and a few crumpled bills. I think I’ll never see him again. Until I step into the towering kingdom of Wilder Group... and meet ーhim. Kai Wilder Reyes. A ruthless billionaire. The man who rules the city with just a snap of his fingers. The man who shares an unforgettable night with me. And worst of all—my best friend's uncle. His grin is sinful. His touch is deadly. His words are a trap I can’t escape. "I can destroy your husband for you, Vivian," he whispers, his lips dangerously close. "Make him regret ever betraying you." My ex-husband, Adrian Cownell, has shattered my heart, and Kai offers me justice on a silver platter. But at what cost? Because Kai never does anything for free. And when I ask him what he wants in return, he smiles. A slow, dark, wicked smile. "I want you, Vivian."

Chapter: CHAPTER 183 - THE END
(Vivian’s POV)The message never came again.Days passed. Then weeks. And slowly—so quietly I almost didn’t notice—the tightness in my chest loosened. The fear that had crept back into my bones after everything with Darius began to fade, chased away by something warmer. Stronger.Safety.One afternoon, I stood in my studio, sunlight spilling through the tall windows, watching my team bustle around as we prepared a mock-up for a new museum wing. Laughter echoed softly. Martha was arguing with a contractor. Someone spilled coffee and cursed dramatically.Normal life.I breathed it in.My phone buzzed on my desk.Kai: Lunch. Rooftop café. I’m outside.I smiled before I even replied.Me: You’re five minutes early.Kai: I miss my wife.I shook my head, warmth blooming in my chest, and grabbed my bag.When I stepped outside, he was already there—leaning against his car, sunglasses on, suit jacket draped casually over his arm. The same man who could terrify entire boardrooms… now watching me

Chapter: CHAPTER 182 - PROTECT HER
(Kai’s POV)The moment Vivian fell asleep beside me, her breathing evening out against my chest, I knew one thing with terrifying clarity.I was already too late.Not too late to save her. Not this time. But too late to prevent someone from trying.I stared at the ceiling, one arm wrapped tightly around her waist, my fingers curled into the fabric of her shirt as if letting go for even a second might make her disappear. The message she’d shown me replayed in my head over and over, each word cutting deeper than the last.You don’t deserve to be by his side.I exhaled slowly, careful not to wake her.They were testing the water.And I hated that they’d chosen her to do it.Vivian stirred slightly, her brows knitting together even in sleep, and I immediately tightened my hold, lowering my head to press a kiss into her hair.“I’ve got you,” I whispered. “No one touches what’s mine.”The words weren’t meant to be cruel. They were a vow.When she was fully asleep, I carefully slipped out of

Chapter: CHAPTER 181 - SOMEONE FROM THE PAST
(Vivian’s POV)I stared at the locked screen for a long moment, my reflection faintly visible against the glass. My face looked calm, composed—too composed. Inside, something sharp was scraping at my ribs.I need to tell Kai… but should I?I knew him. I knew what that single sentence would do. It would flip a switch. The gentle warmth he reserved for me would turn into something colder, darker, more dangerous—for anyone even remotely connected to this message. Kai didn’t do half-measures when it came to me.My phone buzzed again.I flinched.Another message. Same number.Unknown Number:You should remember your place.My fingers went numb.“That’s enough,” I whispered, standing abruptly. The chair scraped against the floor, loud in the quiet office. I paced once, twice, then forced myself to breathe in deeply, counting to four like my therapist had taught me. In. Hold. Out.I refused to let fear own me again.I walked to the window, staring down at the city below. People moved like an

Chapter: CHAPTER 180 - DO I DESERVE HIM?
By the time I arrived at my studio, my mind was already filled with color palettes, floor plans, and furniture catalogs. I ran an interior design company specializing in art museum displays, high-end wedding designs, and new restaurant concepts. Today’s schedule was packed."Focus, Vivian. Be professional. Don’t float around like a newlywed idiot," I reminded myself, rubbing my temples before grabbing my tablet.My assistant, Martha, peeked in. “Your 10 a.m. client is here, Mrs. Reyes.”I still wasn’t used to that. Mrs. Reyes.“Send her in,” I said, smoothing my blazer.A woman in her late thirties walked in—elegant, sharp-featured, and dressed in a sleek beige suit.“Mrs. Reyes, thank you for seeing me,” she said with a polite smile.“Please, call me Vivian,” I replied, shaking her hand. “How can I help you?”She pulled out a folder. “I’m opening a new art café in Seminyak. I saw your work at Liora Art Museum, and I want something similar—clean, modern lines but with warm lighting an

Chapter: CHAPTER 179 - FIVE MONTHS INTO MARRIAGE
(Vivian’s POV)Five months after our weddingThe soft rise and fall of Kai’s chest beneath my cheek almost lulled me to sleep, but my mind refused to rest. My body still hummed—sensitive, tender, beautifully ruined by him—but my thoughts wandered in too many directions at once.Five months of marriage.Five months of loving him, wanting him, surviving him.I tilted my head up slightly, trying to study him without waking him. His jaw relaxed, the sharpness of it softened in sleep. His hand still rested possessively on my hip, heavy and warm, as if his body refused to let mine go even unconsciously.“My husband,” I whispered to myself, barely moving my lips.His fingers twitched, almost tightening.God. Even asleep, he was impossible.I eased myself up, intending to slip away to the bathroom for a moment, but the second I moved an inch, his eyes snapped open—dark, sharp, alert. Like he’d been awake the whole time.“Where are you going?” he murmured, voice rough and still thick with slee

Chapter: CHAPTER 178 - FOREVER
(Kai’s POV)The moment the hotel suite door clicked shut behind us, I turned the lock and faced her. My wife.My wife.The word sounded unreal in my head, too beautiful to be true. But there she was—Vivian Rosendale-Reyes now—standing barefoot on the marble floor, wrapped in white silk and innocence she no longer had. At least, not with me.She looked up at me beneath thick lashes, her cheeks slightly flushed from the champagne, or maybe from knowing what came next.“You're mine now,” I said, voice low, deliberate.Her lips parted, but she didn’t speak.Good. I didn’t want her to.I stepped forward, grabbed her by the waist, and pressed her back against the wall with my body. “Do you have any idea what that means, Vivian?”She gave a soft, shaky breath. “You’re going to tell me, aren’t you?”I smiled—dark, possessive. “No, baby. I’m going to show you.”I kissed her like I hadn’t seen her in years. Hard, hungry. She tasted like wedding cake and trouble. My fingers tangled in her hair a
