Beneath The Ice : Claimed By My Stepbrother All Wrong
TheoThe room felt smaller with every second that passed without either of us speaking. I stayed close to the door, one hand still gripping the handle. I almost hoped pulling it again would make it open. It didn’t. Benito had really locked us in. That idiot. I let out a slow breath and finally turned around. Noah hadn’t moved. He stood near the shelves with both hands deep in the pockets of his hoodie. He looked almost as uncomfortable as I felt. For once, neither of us had anywhere to run. “Theo.” His voice was quiet. Not exactly nervous. Just careful. I looked at him but didn’t say anything. “I know you don’t want to talk to me.” “You got that right.” “I know.” He nodded once, like he had expected it. “But please… don’t leave the second that door opens.” I folded my arms across my chest. “I’m listening.” “I mean it.” “So do I.” “No.” He shook his head. “I mean… actually listen. Then if you still want nothing to do with me, I’ll leave you alone.” Somet
Beneath The Ice : Claimed By My Stepbrother Talk It Out
TheoBy Wednesday morning, I had reached a very simple conclusion.Benito was a menace.I'd arrived on campus expecting a normal day. Coffee. Literature lecture. Lunch with Melody if she wasn't hiding in the music building again. Hockey practice later. The usual.Instead, Benito had somehow convinced half the English department that I was the right person to help organize a charity book drive."I don't even like people," I muttered as we carried another box of novels into the department lounge.Benito snorted."You like people.""I tolerate about four.""You've got me.""Unfortunately.""You've got Melody.""I do.""Nikolai.""Barely."He gasped dramatically."That's rude.""It's honest."He laughed, dropping his box onto one of the tables.The lounge was usually empty during morning lectures, which was exactly why Professor Ellis had let us use it to sort donations before the event next week. Books covered almost every flat surface. Mystery novels sat beside biographies. Romance book
Beneath The Ice : Claimed By My Stepbrother Move On
NoahThere was only so much self-pity a person could survive before it became embarrassing.I figured I'd reached that point sometime around Thursday.Practice had ended almost twenty minutes ago, but I was still sitting in the locker room with one skate on and the other lying somewhere under the bench because I couldn't be bothered to look for it. The room had mostly emptied out by then. A couple of first-years were arguing over whose turn it was to carry equipment back to storage, somebody had music playing from a speaker that sounded like it had survived two wars, and Jeremy walked past me, took one look at my face, and kept walking.Probably the right decision."You alive?"I looked up.Nikolai stood in the doorway with two sports drinks in his hands."Barely.""I've seen corpses with more enthusiasm.""Thanks."He tossed one of the bottles at me.I caught it without thinking."You've been staring at the same locker for five minutes.""I wasn't.""You were."I twisted the cap open
Beneath The Ice : Claimed By My Stepbrother Benito
TheoOne thing I'd learned about Benito was that he couldn't keep still.The guy had energy for absolutely everything. If we weren't at practice, he wanted coffee. If we already had coffee, he wanted food. If we'd just eaten, he'd somehow convince me to walk across campus because he wanted to show me "the greatest bookstore known to mankind," only for it to turn out to be a tiny secondhand shop run by an eighty-year-old woman who yelled at customers for folding page corners."You can't disrespect literature," Benito had whispered after she'd chased two freshmen out with a broom."I think she's one bad day away from murder.""I love her.""You're insane.""I've accepted that."I'd laughed so hard people had stared.That had become normal lately.Life hadn't magically fixed itself after I came back from the Super Team. Noah was still... Noah. Whatever we were was still a complete disaster.But Benito made everything lighter.Not easier.Just lighter.That morning we'd finished our first
Beneath The Ice : Claimed By My Stepbrother Many Stuff
BenitoThere were a lot of things I liked about Blackwood.The hockey program was solid, the professors in the English department actually cared about what they taught, and for some reason the cafeteria coffee wasn't complete garbage. Compared to my last university, that alone deserved an award.The people weren't bad either.Melody had adopted me after roughly ten minutes of conversation, Jeremy acted annoyed every time I spoke but somehow always ended up sitting beside me anyway, and Nikolai... well, Nikolai was terrifying, but once you got past the permanent death stare he was surprisingly decent.Theo was the easiest one of the bunch.We'd only known each other a couple of weeks, but it never felt awkward. We argued about books almost every afternoon, insulted each other's music taste daily, and somehow managed to turn every meal into a debate about something completely ridiculous.It was easy.Natural.The problem wasn't Theo.The problem was Noah.At first I thought I'd imagined
Beneath The Ice : Claimed By My Stepbrother Chose Her
NoahPractice should've helped.Usually it did. Give me a stick, a puck, and an hour on the ice and my head settled enough that I could pretend everything else didn't exist. It wasn't working anymore. I spent half the session missing passes I should've made in my sleep, and Coach had already barked my name three times before we even got to scrimmage."You with us today, Carter?""Yeah."He looked at me for another second like he knew I was lying, then blew his whistle again.By the time practice ended, I was more exhausted mentally than physically.Nikolai caught up with me while I was stuffing my gloves into my bag."You've looked miserable all morning.""I always look miserable.""You've looked extra miserable."I zipped my bag shut. "Thanks.""It wasn't a compliment.""I figured."He bumped my shoulder as we walked out together. "You wanna grab food?"I almost said no out of habit, but going home meant an empty room and another afternoon spent trying not to think about Theodore."Y
Beneath The Ice : Claimed By My Stepbrother What The Fuck?!
Theo~ Finally, we reached the game day we had all been training for. By the time we got to the third period, every single person in the arena was losing their mind. Including me. The score sat tied at three-three. Nobody had managed to break it for nearly fifteen minutes. Every shift felt heavier
Beneath The Ice : Claimed By My Stepbrother Stupid Feelings
NoahThe weird thing about bad habits is that you never fully understand how much space they’ve taken up in your life until you try to break them. For weeks I had built entire routines around Theo without ever admitting that was exactly what I was doing. I would wake up, check the team updates, scr
Beneath The Ice : Claimed By My Stepbrother Does He Know?
TheoThe first thing I learned about Benito was that he genuinely couldn’t sit still. The second thing I learned was that if Benito got bored, everybody around him suffered. Unfortunately, I learned both lessons on the same night.Training had ended almost two hours earlier. Most of the team had al
Beneath The Ice : Claimed By My Stepbrother Noah
CHAPTER — Things We Can't Take BackNoahI spent the rest of the evening trying very hard not to punch Nikolai. It wasn’t really his fault, and that was the most annoying part. If he had insulted me or mocked me, I could have fought back. If he had done anything except tell the truth in that calm,
