Offside Temptation
1.1k Views · Ongoing · lovepaul429
For seven years, the hockey world has watched Damien Cross and Ethan Ryder try to destroy each other.
Every match ends in blood.
Every interview drips with venom.
And every fight becomes headline news.
Damien is the league’s golden king—cold, disciplined, untouchable.
Ethan is chaos in human form—a reckless superstar spiraling toward self-destruction.
Their hatred made them legends.
But after a disastrous championship game, Ethan wakes up in a luxury hotel beside the one man he swore to hate forever.
Damien Cross.
Shirtless.
Bruised.
And looking at Ethan like he belongs to him.
When paparazzi photos leak online, the scandal threatens both their careers. Sponsors panic. Fans go feral. And the league forces them into a fake public truce: train together for the international season and convince the world their rivalry was staged entertainment.
Living together was supposed to save their reputations.
Instead, it destroys every boundary between them.
Because Damien’s hatred has never been hate at all.
It’s obsession.
And Ethan soon realizes something horrifying:
Every failed friendship…
Every broken relationship…
Every person who ever abandoned him…
Damien was behind it.
Not because he wanted Ethan ruined.
But because Damien Cross wanted Ethan completely, dangerously, devastatingly alone.
