I wash off the slick abomination in my core and take a shower before stepping out of the bathroom.

I try so hard not to think about the weird dream as I apply lotion to my body, rubbing the cream smoothly into my skin.

As my hands trail to my thighs, I shudder when a jolt of sensation buzzes through me. Recalling how his hands massaged those same thighs in my dreams, my stomach curls with both disgust and delight.

Ew, what’s this feeling?

I quickly withdraw my hand from my own body, reacting li

  • IN BED WITH THE RUTHLESS HOCKEY CAPTAIN   Sixty: One step ahead

    WHITNEY.I wake up every morning expecting the knock.Every single day, I open my eyes and imagine security officers waiting outside my front door. I picture Coach standing in the school hallway with his arms crossed, ready to call my name in front of everyone. My stomach twists as I get dressed because I keep telling myself, Today is the day they find out. But every afternoon, I go home without anyone questioning me. One day passes. Then another. Then another. Nothing happens.After a week, I finally start breathing properly again.Maybe I really erased everything. Maybe I am better at this than I think.The thought scares me at first, but then it slowly changes into something else. Confidence. I walk through the school halls without jumping every time someone calls my name. Every camera I once feared now looks like another piece of metal hanging from the ceiling. Every teacher smiles at me like nothing has happened. Little by little, I stop waiting to get caught.The whole school is

  • IN BED WITH THE RUTHLESS HOCKEY CAPTAIN   Fifty- Nine: Who stole it?

    CARLI stand outside Coach's office while everyone inside argues about me as if I am not even there. Every few seconds, I hear my name followed by words like ‘careless’, ‘irresponsible’, and ‘failure’. Yesterday I had walked into the arena as captain. Today I feel like a stranger wearing the same face. The missing jersey and the leaked strategy have turned the whole school against me. I keep telling myself to stay calm, but every rumor feels like another weight on my shoulders.Coach finally opens the door."Carlos. Get in here."I step inside without saying a word. The room feels colder than usual. Coach stands behind his desk with his arms crossed while two school staff members sit beside him. Nobody smiles. Nobody even asks how I am.Coach lets out a long breath."Do you have anything new to tell us?""No, sir.""You expect me to believe someone entered our locker room without help?""I honestly don't know how they got in, sir.""You do know the confidential files were leaked.""I

  • IN BED WITH THE RUTHLESS HOCKEY CAPTAIN   Fifty - Eight: This Ends Today

    WHITNEY.I sit inside my car across from the hockey arena with both hands gripping the steering wheel so tightly that my fingers hurt. I tell myself I can still drive away and pretend none of this ever happens. For weeks, Devin and I plan every step, every hallway, every excuse, but now that I am here, the building looks bigger than I remember. My heart keeps asking if revenge is worth this. Then I close my eyes and see Jayden lying in that hospital bed with tubes around him, his face pale and still. The fear inside me turns into something harder. I whisper, "This ends today."Devin leans through my open window and gives me one last look."You ready?""I have to be.""If anything goes wrong, leave. Don't try to be brave.""I know."He nods once. "I'll keep the employee busy. You only have a few minutes."I climb out of the car, and together we walk toward the side entrance. The morning air feels cold, but sweat already covers my hands. The arena is almost empty because practice has no

  • IN BED WITH THE RUTHLESS HOCKEY CAPTAIN   Fifty-seven: Jake

    'I would advise you to stay the fuck away from him. He's dangerous' Devin's words replay in my mind as I watch Carl round the car to the passenger's side. A pang of dread grips my chest as I wonder how dangerous he could possibly be. What the hell am I saying? I've seen what he did to Jayden. If that doesn't confirm Devin's advice, then I don't know what else would for me. I already know what Carl can do. I've encountered him once or twice before and I've witnessed how he reacted when I provoked him. Sure, he didn't hurt me physically or try to, but his threats alone remain scary. HE is scary. A lump rises in my throat as I wonder if I've made a mistake agreeing to this ride with him. Well, it's not like I had a better choice. Carl's sparkling green eyes find mine and there's only a hint of amusement on his face as he smirks at me. There's something about the way he smirks that tightens my chest with anxiety. I mentally shake off Devin's cautioning words and focus on Carl inste

  • IN BED WITH THE RUTHLESS HOCKEY CAPTAIN   Fifty-six: Accepting a nickname

    "You coming?" Carl looks back from the driver's side when I don't step out of the car like he just did. I shake my head firmly. "Absolutely not." He frowns, curious, holding the side of the door and peering at me. "Why not?" "The last thing I want is to be seen with you," I say, even though I'm barely known in this part of town. Hell, no one aside from my two friends would even recognize me off-campus, and yet I'm talking like I'm some celebrity desperately trying to hide from the paparazzi. Well, I might not be the celebrity in question. But I'm riding with one. The notorious hockey captain l. He comes with unwanted attention, and I hate unwanted attention. So the truth is, I don't want people to see me with him. They might recognize me, and I'd likely be the talk of the class for the next year. "You're funny," Carl says, pinching the bridge of his nose in amusement. "You talk like you're some renowned figure. Get out. Let's grab something to eat." I cross my arms over my ches

  • IN BED WITH THE RUTHLESS HOCKEY CAPTAIN   Fifty-five: I shouldn't feel this way

    "You have until the count of five to decide," he adds, and I still stubbornly hesitate. I was hoping I'd finally come up with a wise choice during his little counting spree, but the bastard completely catches me off guard. Sighing in resignation, he declares, "Five." Motherfucker didn't even count. He turns his attention back to the steering wheel, ready to drive off now that he's obviously tired of talking. Then I shout against my better judgment. "Wait!" Fuck me. I totally hate this, hate having to succumb to his manipulative tactics. But I have no other choice. It's either me surviving his overbearing presence for a few hours or Jayden getting hurt again. I can't let the latter happen because of my selfishness, so it's better I stick with the former option. Carl pauses, not sparing me a glance. I shoot him a glare at his sudden nonchalant attitude as I make my way around the car to the passenger seat. I open the door and throw myself inside with a frustrated grunt. Fuck

    "He's not as innocent as you think," he says, his hand disappearing from my breasts and gliding down my stomach. A spark of lust zaps through me when he caresses my skin before lowering his hand to my jeans.I want to stop him, but my hands remain still. Not restrained — because I could easily rais

  • IN BED WITH THE RUTHLESS HOCKEY CAPTAIN   Thirty - eight: Hypocrite

    WHITNEYCarl's eyes have turned a darker shade of green, and in them I can clearly see the emotion — wrath. It's radiating off him in waves as he tightens his fingers around my neck, squeezing and drawing whimpers from my mouth.My heart thunders as my nose fills with his intoxicating cedar scent,

  • IN BED WITH THE RUTHLESS HOCKEY CAPTAIN   Thirty - seven: Do you love him?

    "He's my friend," Whitney answers coldly after a moment. "What kind of friend is he?" I press. "Why do you care?" She nearly rolls her eyes. "I have my reasons," I say, ignoring her dramatics. "Answer the fucking question." "I don't know what you want from me, Carl..." She pauses with regret. T

  • IN BED WITH THE RUTHLESS HOCKEY CAPTAIN   Thirty - six: He's the saint, you're the psycho

    Her chest rises and falls with panic as she glares at me. But she looks absolutely terrified. Whether it's solely because she found out I have been watching her? I don't know. But it absolutely looks like she's wishing for the ground to open up and swallow her right now. I didn't get to eavesdrop
