Claimed by a Gay Rival Captain: A Raw MM Hockey Rivals Romance

I spent every season fighting Alexander Owens, certain that if I let him win once I'd lose everything else too. Now the final whistle has sounded and he is the one giving orders in this sweat-slicked locker room, and the rivalry has turned into something I can't name. That scar along my jaw from our old brawl feels like a brand when he looks at me with that crooked grin.

I know what claiming me would cost. My family's debts, our contracts, the team loyalties that have always kept us on opposite sides. Yet I feel the command in every word he gives me, the steady pull I have secretly craved for years. He tells me to stay behind after the next game.
