Chapter 54: Maybe I would have
Kayden
Something was going on with Rhys, and it was his father. He must have heard something on that call, and as curious as I was, I didn’t want to pressure him into telling me.
As the bus entered the gates of the Glacier Dome, I sent a message to Leo. He had left the game early after we won to finish his lab work, and Starlight was with him.
Kayden: Hey. Let Starlight stay with you tonight. Rhys and I are going to need our privacy.
Leo: Are you fucking kidding me? Again? I literally just finished your tests and the results aren’t out yet. You can’t let him knot you again, Kayden. Your system can’t take that much of his raw knotting strain without crashing.
Kayden: I’ll be fine. Just for tonight. He’s... he’s not okay, Leo. He’s hurting.
Leo: Suddenly you are his comfort? Will he do the same for you?
I paused as my fingers hovered over the keyboard.
Kayden: He is not going to knot me. There are other alternatives.
Leo: He is a True Alpha, you idiot. Well, do you, because it seems you can’t stop taking his dick and I am not going to stop you, but be careful. DO NOT LET HIM KNOT YOU. 😡
I rolled my eyes at his annoying attitude and then looked back at Rhys, who was already raising his head from my shoulder. "Are we there yet?" he yawned, rubbing his eyes.
Right on cue, the bus came to a stop. "We are here," I announced.
He groaned, stretched his arms, and stood up. As he reached toward the ceiling of the bus, I saw the length of his cock through his thick pants. Even with the heavy fabric, I could see it clearly.
His eyes seemed to follow my gaze, and he chuckled. "That’s what you do to me," he muttered in a low, deep voice that sent shivers running down my spine.
"We’d better head out," he muttered. Almost all the teammates were already off.
I nodded and stood up. Then I felt him behind me; he intentionally leaned in until I could feel his hardened length against my back.
I jumped in fright and stumbled, almost falling, but Rhys grabbed my hand, pulling me into his chest.
"Easy there," he whispered, his hot breath fanning my ear. "The only place I want you to fall is on your knees when you are taking my cock in your mouth." He pulled me tighter in his arms like I weighed nothing.
I gasped, and just as I was about to reply, someone cleared their throat outside the bus.
My heart jumped, thinking we’d been caught, but it turned out to be Miller.
"Would you two come out?" he questioned. The street lamp shone on his face as he gave us a questioning look. "The bus isn’t a bedroom, boys," he scoffed. "Unless you want everyone walking in on you."
Rhys let out a laugh that vibrated through my body. "We wouldn’t want that, would we?" he whispered in my ear again, nibbling on the lobe.
I almost let out a moan but bit my lip to avoid attracting attention. There was something different about Rhys tonight. He was a little flirty, even shamelessly touchy in front of Miller.
"We should get down." I wriggled out of his hold and rushed off the bus, brushing past Miller and toward the ice rink.
"You are not coming to the club tonight for the celebration!" Miller shouted after me.
I paused and slowly walked back to him. "I..."
"We are not going," Rhys said, coming up beside me and wrapping his arm around my neck.
I suddenly lost the ability to talk. I looked around to see if our teammates were watching, but they seemed more excited to head to the club, with Jaxon leading the way to the locker room to change.
"How about you?" I asked Miller. "Are you going?"
Miller looked toward the teammates heading for the locker room, then toward the other side of the dome, and shook his head. "There is someone else who needs my attention."
My eyes widened, knowing exactly who he meant. "Oh!" I chuckled.
Rhys cast me a look, having no idea what was happening. "Is there something going on?"
Miller straightened his posture and smirked. "I have a Doc to annoy," he responded.
He turned around and walked away without explaining anything else.
"It’s Leo and—"
"I don’t care," Rhys interrupted. He grabbed my hand and pulled me forward toward the rink. "Tonight is for us."
I looked around to see if any teammates were lurking. The last thing I wanted was a scandal.
Seeing that the coast was clear, we silently made it to the ice rink. The main lights were out; only the dim glow from a street lamp a few meters away hit half of the ice.
Rhys led me to the far side of the rink, draped in shadows. "No one will see us here," he assured me.
He was right; it was completely dark, and the CCTV coverage was cut off on this side.
"I missed having you this close to me," Rhys murmured. He placed one hand on my cheek, caressing it gently, before letting it slide down to my neck.
He wrapped his hand around it, gripping tight—but not enough to hurt—until I felt my eyes rolling back. Then, his hand slid lower into my pants and grabbed my cock.
"So hard and leaking for me," he murmured against my ear.
He turned me around and slammed me against the wall. "You must have been thinking about my cock inside you while you were out on that ice." His breath fanned my neck, sending a violent shiver down my spine. "Don’t worry, Kayden." He grabbed my length and ran his hand up to the tip, teasing it with his thumb.
My body screamed for release. I tried so hard to bottle up the moans. The way his fingers worked down the shaft made my legs vibrate against his hand.
"Rhys," I groaned, biting my lower lip. Then Rhys gripped me lower, circling his thumb around my balls, and I couldn’t hold it in anymore. I moaned out loud.
Rhys’s mouth met mine halfway. His lips moved slowly against mine as his hand worked on my cock. His other hand grabbed my ass, pulling me against him.
"Fuck, you smell so good," he murmured into the kiss. "It’s a crazy scent that drives me insane." His voice dropped into a sultry register that made me arch into him as he handled me.
It was this voice, this body, that had attracted me from the start. I hoped he never used that voice on anyone else. No one aside from me deserved to hear it.
"Kayden." Rhys bit my lower lip, then smashed his lips back against mine, his tongue teasing my mouth before pulling away.
He moved to my face, kissing and biting my cheeks before moving down to my neck. "This smell is like a drug. You have no idea how fucking insane you smell." He wrapped his arms around my neck while he inhaled.
I groaned and moved against him, my head tilted back to give him more room. Then, I felt his teeth graze me right on my marking spot.
My eyes widened. Realizing what was about to happen, I shoved my hands forward, pushing him back. "Rhys," I breathed.
"Don’t worry, I am not going to mark you. It’s scientifically impossible for an Alpha to mark another Alpha," he panted, leaning in until our foreheads met. "If you weren’t an Alpha, maybe I would have." He removed his hand from my pants and raised my chin to face him. "Maybe I would have considered marking you as mine alone."
