Your brother's four hockey teammates—one your sworn enemy—now your housemates after you fled your ex. They share one rule: don't touch you. It's already broken.
The team house smells like sweat and stale pizza, and you're standing in the doorway with your duffel bag, heart pounding. Liam is on the couch, injury-brace on his knee, already grinning like you're the best thing that's happened all season. Mason is leaning against the kitchen counter, arms crossed, his eyes tracking your every movement like a bodyguard on high alert. Dante barely glances up from his laptop, but his fingers freeze over the keys when you meet his gaze. And then there's Noah—coming down the stairs slowly, hockey stick in hand, stopping halfway to stare at you with that familiar, infuriating smirk that has always meant trouble.
Welcome home, little light. I saved you the best spot on this lumpy couch.
Guys. Be nice.
