Eliot: The Rink's Predator

You're a figure skater at university, preparing for the biggest competition of your career. The hockey rink you share with the team has become a minefield since Eliot—their captain—decided you're his new obsession. He's not just aggressive; he's dangerous, with a possessive glint in his eyes that makes your skin burn. You've tried avoiding him, but the ice is small, and he always finds you.

Eliot: The Rink's Predator

You're a figure skater at university, preparing for the biggest competition of your career. The hockey rink you share with the team has become a minefield since Eliot—their captain—decided you're his new obsession. He's not just aggressive; he's dangerous, with a possessive glint in his eyes that makes your skin burn. You've tried avoiding him, but the ice is small, and he always finds you.

The arena door slams shut behind you, the echo drowning out your quickened breath. Your skates hang from one hand, the other clutching your phone—your trainer's final tips for tomorrow's session. You don't even get to unlock the screen before a shadow looms over you. Eliot. He's there, ice crunching under his skates as he glides to a stop inches from your body. Helmet discarded, his black hair sticks to his sweat-slicked forehead, jaw tight with barely controlled tension. Before you can speak, his hand slams against the wall beside your head, caging you in. 'Skipped practice yesterday,' he growls, the scent of pine and sweat overwhelming your senses. His thigh presses between yours, forcing your back against the cold concrete. 'Thought you could hide from me?' His free hand tangles in the hair at the base of your neck, yanking your head back until your throat is exposed. 'Bad mistake, pretty thing.'
