@honeyheir – cooper & bonnie. boston 2019.
the high from the win still burned through cooper like a live wire. adrenaline hadn’t faded; it was thrumming under his skin, making every breath feel too sharp, every pulse too loud. his lips were already swollen from the frantic kissing in the lift, and the faint sting of her nails across his chest was a sweet reminder of how little control either of them had left. it was a miracle they’d even made it into the hotel suite without being seen. now the door was locked behind them and the city lights of boston glowed soft and distant through the windows.
cooper knew this was wrong. bonnie was the team’s pr manager. sleeping with her was reckless, dangerous, the kind of thing that could blow up careers. but she was irresistible — especially like this, flushed and breathing hard, looking up at him with that wicked little spark in her eyes. his shirt was already gone. he dropped onto the loveseat, long legs stretched out, and reached for her. at six-foot-six he dwarfed her smaller frame easily. one big hand closed around her waist and tugged. she gave a startled little yelp as she tumbled into his lap, and he laughed—low, rough, pure manc. “christ, look at you,” he murmured, voice thick with the northern lilt. “tiny little thing. reckon i could put you in my pocket.”
he didn’t wait. fingers curled in the front of her blouse and tore. buttons scattered across the carpet. the fabric parted with a sharp rip, and he pushed it off her shoulders, impatient. the bra was next—hook flicked open with one practiced tug, straps yanked down her arms. he tossed it aside without looking. then he just stared. her tits were perfect—full, soft, the kind that made his mouth water. pink nipples already tight, each one pierced with a small silver bar that caught the low light. the sight punched the air out of his lungs. “fuck me,” he breathed, thumbs brushing over the metal, then circling the sensitive peaks.
“look at these. pierced, are they? cheeky little minx.” he rolled one nipple gently between thumb and finger, feeling the cool metal and the warmer flesh. “been walkin’ around all night with these under that posh little blouse, knowin’ i’d lose my head the second i saw ‘em.” his hands were huge against her. one spanned nearly the whole of her ribcage as he cupped and lifted, thumbs continuing their slow, deliberate path across the piercings. he leaned in, voice dropping lower, rough with want. “need you, bonnie. proper. adrenaline’s still racin’ and all i can think about is gettin’ inside you. know it’s stupid. know you’re the last person i should be touchin’. but i can’t stop. don’t want to stop.”
he dragged her closer so she was straddling his thighs, the height difference making her feel even smaller against the solid wall of his chest. the claw marks she’d already left were red and raised. he liked the sting of them. liked knowing she’d marked him. his thumbs kept moving—slow, deliberate strokes over the pierced nipples, then down the soft underside of each breast, then back up again. circling. teasing. watching the way her breath hitched every time the metal shifted under his touch. “tell me you want it as bad as i do,” he said, forehead resting against hers, voice thick and low. “tell me, love. ‘cause once i start, i’m not stoppin’ ‘til you’re shakin’.”
the entire thing had begun on nothing more than a reckless whim. one moment they had been shouting in the empty corridor outside the locker rooms—her voice cutting, his manchester accent thickening with every frustrated syllable—and the next she was straddling his massive thighs in a hotel suite, shirt torn open, bra discarded, and his enormous hands already claiming her body like it had always belonged to him. that was cooper riley. captain. six feet six of solid muscle, lingering adrenaline, and the kind of bad decisions that made her pulse race.
bonnie let him take the lead. she always did once the air between them turned this electric. there was something intoxicating about the way he could simply encompass her—his body a living wall of heat and strength that swallowed her smaller frame whole, making her feel tiny, claimed. she revelled in it. the broad spread of his thighs beneath her, the heavy, unmistakable ridge of his cock pressing up against the thin, already-damp lace of her panties, the sheer size of him surrounding her from every angle. it made her dizzy with want.
she rolled her hips forward in a slow, deliberate grind, dragging the soaked crotch of those panties along the thick length of him. the friction tore a broken, needy gasp from her throat. combined with the relentless way his thumbs worked her pierced nipples—circling the sensitive peaks, catching on the silver bars, sending sharp little jolts of pleasure straight down between her legs—it short-circuited every coherent thought she had left.
“you like my tits, captain?” she purred, voice low and filthy, arching her back so the soft weight of them filled his palms even more. the cool metal of the piercings dragged against the rough pads of his thumbs, and the dual sensation made her cunt clench hard around nothing. “been thinking about you staring at them all night, haven’t you? big bad hockey player getting all distracted by the pr girl’s nipples every time she leaned over a tablet.”
she didn’t give him the chance to answer. her mouth crashed into his with raw hunger, kissing him like she meant to climb inside his skin. her tongue shoved past his lips, wet and demanding, then sucked on his for a long, deliberate moment that left him breathless and growling low in his chest. she could taste the leftover adrenaline on him, feel the heat rolling off his bare torso, hear the soft wet sounds their mouths made as she deepened the kiss further. when she finally tore her lips away it was only far enough to whimper against his mouth, voice already wrecked. “fuck—i need your cock.”
her hands were already at his belt, fingers clumsy with urgency as she tugged at the leather. the buckle fought her for a second before giving way. she kept grinding against him the entire time, the lace of her panties growing wetter with every pass over the heavy outline of his erection, the friction turning her breaths into short, shaky pants. she was soaked. she could feel the fabric clinging to her folds, could smell her own arousal rising between them, and the knowledge only made her greedier.
“come on,” she whispered, half-laughing, half-moaning as she finally got his fly open and shoved her hand inside. her fingers wrapped around the thick, scorching length of him through his boxers and a full-body shudder ripped through her at the sheer size of it. god, she was so far gone for this man it was almost embarrassing. and she didn’t care. not tonight. not with the win still buzzing under both their skins and his hands still owning her tits like they were his personal playthings.
“don’t make me beg for it, riley,” she breathed, stroking him once through the fabric, voice turning even more wrecked. “you already know i’m a fucking freak for this. for you. tear the rest of these clothes off me and put that cock where it belongs before i climb you myself and take it.”
the second her small hand wrapped around the thick length of his cock through the fabric, a low, guttural groan tore out of cooper’s chest. his hips jerked once into her touch before he forced himself still. “cheeky lil’ thing,” he murmured, manchester accent rough and thick with want. as much as every instinct screamed at him to let her keep going—to shove his boxers down and bury himself in her right there on the loveseat—he made her wait.
without any real effort he stood, lifting her with him like she weighed nothing. bonnie’s legs automatically wrapped around his waist as he carried her the short distance to the bed. he dropped her onto the mattress without ceremony, the impact bouncing her slightly, and followed her down in the same motion. one large hand pinned both of her wrists above her head against the sheets. the other braced beside her shoulder as he leaned in.
he started at her neck—open-mouthed kisses that turned into slow, deliberate sucks, leaving faint marks along the column of her throat. his voice was a low rumble against her skin. “should spank you for talkin’ like that.” his mouth travelled lower, across her collarbone, down the soft slope of one breast. his tongue flicked once over the pierced nipple, tasting metal and heat, before he closed his lips around it and sucked hard. bonnie’s back arched beneath him. he stayed there a moment longer, tongue working the sensitive peak, before the grip on her wrists finally loosened.
large, calloused hands traced down the sides of her body—over the curve of her ribs, the dip of her waist, the flare of her hips—as his mouth kept descending. lower. and lower still. he settled between her spread thighs, pushed the soaked lace of her panties aside, and simply stared for a second. her cunt was glistening, flushed, already so wet the inner lips shone under the low hotel light. a rough, breathless sound left him. “gorgeous,” he said, voice wrecked. “so wet already for me, love.”
two thick fingers traced slowly along her pussy lips, spreading her open just enough to see everything. then he lowered his face and gave one deliberate, tentative lick straight over her clit—just enough pressure to make her hips jerk—watching the way she squirmed for him. it didn’t stay tentative for long. his hands clamped down on her thighs, pinning them open against the mattress as his mouth covered her completely. he sucked her clit between his lips, tongue working in broad, filthy strokes, then narrower, focused flicks that had her trembling. every wet sound filled the quiet room as he ate her like he had all the time in the world and every intention of making her fall apart on his tongue before he ever gave her his cock.
@honeyheir – cooper & bonnie. boston 2019.
the high from the win still burned through cooper like a live wire. adrenaline hadn’t faded; it was thrumming under his skin, making every breath feel too sharp, every pulse too loud. his lips were already swollen from the frantic kissing in the lift, and the faint sting of her nails across his chest was a sweet reminder of how little control either of them had left. it was a miracle they’d even made it into the hotel suite without being seen. now the door was locked behind them and the city lights of boston glowed soft and distant through the windows.

he didn’t wait. fingers curled in the front of her blouse and tore. buttons scattered across the carpet. the fabric parted with a sharp rip, and he pushed it off her shoulders, impatient. the bra was next—hook flicked open with one practiced tug, straps yanked down her arms. he tossed it aside without looking. then he just stared. her tits were perfect—full, soft, the kind that made his mouth water. pink nipples already tight, each one pierced with a small silver bar that caught the low light. the sight punched the air out of his lungs. “fuck me,” he breathed, thumbs brushing over the metal, then circling the sensitive peaks.

he dragged her closer so she was straddling his thighs, the height difference making her feel even smaller against the solid wall of his chest. the claw marks she’d already left were red and raised. he liked the sting of them. liked knowing she’d marked him. his thumbs kept moving—slow, deliberate strokes over the pierced nipples, then down the soft underside of each breast, then back up again. circling. teasing. watching the way her breath hitched every time the metal shifted under his touch. “tell me you want it as bad as i do,” he said, forehead resting against hers, voice thick and low. “tell me, love. ‘cause once i start, i’m not stoppin’ ‘til you’re shakin’.”
blue eyes narrowed, studying her with the patient, predatory stillness of a man who already knew exactly how this would end. skittish little thing. soft. flushing. trying so hard to look like she belonged in the hallway with an armful of linens instead of standing in his doorway like an invitation. a corner of beau’s mouth twitched. “excuse me, m-mr. langford,” he repeated in a low, mocking imitation of her timid voice, dragging out the stammer until it sounded obscene. a dry, amused laugh left him. “christ.” he shook his head once. “relax.” the word wasn't comfort. it was an order delivered with the quiet certainty of a man who expected to be obeyed. his body blocked the doorway with deliberate ease. one hand rested lazily against the frame; the other slipped into the pocket of his dark slacks, leaving just enough space that a braver woman might have tried to slip past. she wasn’t braver. he’d known that the second she froze. she shrank instead, exactly as he’d expected.
his gaze moved over her with slow, unapologetic hunger—lingering on the ridiculous little costume she’d been given, the way the cheap fabric clung to the soft curves of her breasts and the narrow dip of her waist. he watched the crimson heat climb from the low neckline up her throat and into her cheeks. watched her fingers tighten around the linens until the fabric creased and trembled. watched the way she kept her eyes fixed somewhere near his collarbone, refusing to meet the thing she was most afraid of. there it was. that quiet, filthy war inside her. duty clawing at the throat of curiosity. common sense on its knees in front of something darker and hungrier that she still refused to name. forbidden fruit always tasted sweeter when it spent so much time pretending it didn’t want to be bitten.
“the blue room can wait.” his voice dropped, losing every trace of amusement. it became something lower and intimate. he lifted a single finger and pointed at the neckline of the dress she had obediently worn all evening. the tip of that finger hovered just above the soft swell of her cleavage, close enough that she would feel the heat of him if she breathed too deeply. his eyes stayed locked on the place where she still wouldn’t look at him. “you’re a smart girl, forever.” the finger didn’t move. “so tell me…” a faint, dark smile curved his mouth. “did you honestly think this was a maid’s uniform?” a quiet scoff left him. “cheap polyester. bad stitching. costume-store lace.” another slow shake of his head. “it’s a halloween outfit. something a man buys when he wants to watch a woman play pretend.” his gaze never left her face as he slowly lowered his hand. “but you wore it anyway.” the words settled between them like a hand on the back of her neck. he watched the realization hit her—watched her lips part, watched the instinctive apology start to form—and then he clicked his tongue once. “no.” his smile deepened, patient and cruelly certain. “you don’t get to interrupt.”
another measured step closed the remaining distance. she had to tilt her chin up now just to keep from pressing against his chest. the heat of him reached her first. then the faint scent of his cologne and skin. then the quiet, deliberate way he looked down at her like he already owned every soft, trembling inch. “i think,” he said quietly, studying every tiny shift in her expression, “you knew something wasn’t right the second you put it on.” he let the silence stretch until it hurt. “i think you looked in the mirror.” another beat. “and i think…” his eyes never left hers. “you decided to wear it anyway.” the accusation wasn’t anger. it was recognition. “you can keep pretending you’re only here to change the linens.” his voice had gone almost conversational—soft, maddeningly calm, the kind of tone a man used when he already knew he was going to get what he wanted. “but you’ve been avoiding my eyes all night.”
a faint, knowing smile tugged at one corner of his mouth. “people avoid looking at the things they’re afraid of.” he paused, letting the next words drop like a hand between her legs. “or the things they spend far too much time thinking about while they’re alone in their little maid’s room, touching themselves and pretending it’s anyone but me.”
forever felt so small beneath the weight of his gaze. he looked at her the way a man looked at something he already owned—slow, deliberate, stripping her down without ever lifting a hand. every flicker of mockery in his voice, every drawn-out imitation of her stammer, landed like a finger pressed to a bruise. and when he hushed her before she could even form a proper defense, something in her chest folded in on itself. he was right. that was the worst part. she was smart enough to know better.
vivienne langford did not simply hand out new uniforms on a whim. if the mistress of the house had wanted a change, there would have been a consultation, measurements, fabric samples, an entire production. forever would have been summoned to the study and spoken to like a person, not left with a cheap little costume folded on her bed like a dare. she hadn’t questioned it because she hadn’t wanted to. because some shameful, hungry part of her had looked at the low neckline and the too-short hem and thought—maybe he’ll look at me the way he looks at them. the women who came to the house in silk and perfume. the ones who left lipstick on crystal glasses and soft laughter in the halls. the ones beau langford touched without apology.
despite every stubborn bone in her body, every scrap of pride she clung to like a life raft, she had wanted that. to be desired by a man like him. even if it was only for a moment. even if it ruined her. her mouth opened. something broken and incoherent tried to leave her throat. then his voice dropped lower, and the words he spoke were filthy enough to make her ears burn. touching themselves and pretending it’s anyone but me. “mr. langford!” she gasped, the title cracking on the air like a protest that came too late. but it wasn’t wrong. late at night, when the little servant’s room felt too cold and the sheets too empty, her hands had slipped beneath the hem of her nightgown more than once. quiet, desperate little impulses she never let herself name. fingers trembling. breath held. always ending with her pressing her face into the pillow so no one would hear.
her heart slammed against her ribs now, wild and traitorous. “i don’t know what you’re talking about,” she managed, the lie thin and breathless. she forced her chin a fraction higher, even as heat flooded her face. “bitsy said she’d bring me a new uniform. and that’ll do.” the words came out smaller than she intended. still, she made the choice. she stepped forward—brave, or maybe just desperate—and her shoulder brushed the solid heat of his arm as she tried to slip past him. the contact was brief. accidental. it still sent a sharp, unwanted spark racing down her spine. “now i have to change the linens.”
★ 𝗉𝗋𝗂𝗏𝖺𝗍𝖾𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗿 | 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺: beau langford. ↳ 𝗅𝗈𝖼𝖺𝗍𝗂𝗈𝗇 … rosefield manor, 2006. ↳ 𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 … @r0ughcut
valor, judge, and mercy were the closest thing beau langford had to children. three dobermans, each built like polished muscle beneath black and rust coats, each trained with the same meticulous discipline beau applied to every other corner of his life. one whistle and they came. one word and they'd stop on a dime. they weren't aggressive without reason, but they were intimidating enough that strangers crossed the street when all three were walked together. beau liked that. they reflected him well—handsome, impeccably behaved, and just a little mean.
it wasn't that beau disliked the new maid. quite the opposite. that was becoming the problem. forever was... different. painfully competent, almost unnervingly so. she'd slipped into rosefield manor without fanfare, quietly reorganizing chaos that had existed for years without ever asking for recognition. she rarely spoke unless spoken to, lowered her eyes whenever beau looked her way, and carried herself with a timid sort of grace that fed something embarrassingly primitive inside him. she wasn't loud enough to demand attention. somehow, that made him notice her more. vivienne adored her. of course she did. "such lovely manners," his mother had remarked more than once over breakfast. “it's refreshing.” bitsy had taken to her just as quickly. that, somehow, irritated beau even more. his youngest sister rarely let people in, yet within a week she'd somehow coaxed forever into her room. he'd walked past one afternoon to hear quiet laughter drifting into the hallway. when he'd peeked inside, bitsy had been teaching forever how to blend blush with one of her expensive makeup brushes, both of them giggling over something neither bothered explaining.
he hadn't liked that. he couldn't have explained why if someone had held a gun to his head. so he'd done what beau langford had always done whenever he found himself feeling something inconvenient. he'd made it everyone else's problem. convincing forever that vivienne had quietly changed the household dress code had been insultingly easy. he'd even ordered the thing himself—a ridiculous little french maid costume complete with lace trim, a frilly apron, and one absurd feather duster he'd tossed onto the bed for dramatic effect. "mother's tryin' to modernize," he'd said with a perfectly straight face. "she's too polite to tell y'all herself."
poor thing had believed him. with his parents away for a few days on some coastal retreat, beau had spent the morning pretending to work from the veranda, coffee in one hand, newspaper spread across his lap. he heard the back door of the carriage house open before he saw her. there she was. walking the cobblestone path toward the manor with a laundry basket balanced against one hip, cheeks pink enough that she clearly knew how ridiculous she looked. she kept tugging at the little apron as though stretching it another inch might somehow preserve her dignity.
beau had to bite the inside of his cheek to keep from laughing. he gave one low whistle. three sleek heads lifted in unison. “git.” valor took off first, judge close behind, mercy following after with all the enthusiasm of a child released for recess. they bounded across the trimmed lawn, barking excitedly as forever let out one startled squeak before bolting toward the house. she was faster than he expected. skirts gathered in both hands, hair coming loose from its pins, she sprinted across the courtyard while three seventy-pound dobermans thundered after her, none of them trying to bite her, only delighted by the sudden game. mercy darted ahead just enough to make her shriek before peeling away again, tail wagging so hard her whole back end swayed.
beau laughed outright. "c'mon, forever!" he called after her. "they're just sayin' hello." the fun lasted exactly twelve seconds.
“beauregard langford!” bitsy's voice cracked across the estate like a rifle shot. the front doors slammed open hard enough to rattle the glass. she stormed down the veranda steps, fury written across every inch of her face. “the hell is wrong with you?” three sharp whistles left beau's mouth. instantly the dogs skidded to a halt. “heel.” all three returned without hesitation, settling beside his chair as though nothing had happened. bitsy was already at forever's side. "she's shaking like a damn leaf," bitsy snapped, throwing beau a look that could've peeled paint. "and you're sittin' over there grinnin' like you're twelve."
beau leaned back lazily in his chair. "she ain't dead." "that is not the point." "she outran mercy. that's honestly kinda impressive." "beau." "what?" "she could've gotten hurt." "but she didn't."
bitsy stared at him for a long, disbelieving moment before taking forever gently by the wrist. “c'mon.” she didn't wait for an answer, leading the still-shaken maid back toward the house while muttering apologies that absolutely did not belong to her. beau watched them disappear inside. he should've let it go. he knew that. instead, he waited. the house eventually settled back into its familiar rhythm. bitsy wandered upstairs. the kitchen staff resumed lunch preparations. somewhere in the gardens, a fountain burbled against the afternoon heat. it was nearly an hour later when forever finally emerged from the servants' corridor carrying a stack of freshly pressed linens.
beau folded his arms across his chest, blocking the narrow hallway almost absentmindedly. the smugness he'd worn all morning had faded into something quieter, though the corner of his mouth still threatened a grin. "y'know..." he said, watching her carefully. “most folks would've quit by now.” his head tipped just slightly. “you didn't.” he wasn't even sure why he'd stopped her. maybe to apologize. maybe to tease her again. maybe because watching her avoid his eyes had become the most interesting part of his day. whatever the reason, he found himself lingering there longer than necessary, looking down at her with an expression that had become dangerously unfamiliar.
interest. real, unmistakable interest.
when forever had first been warned about rosefield, she'd assumed the caution had little to do with the estate itself and everything to do with the woman who ruled it. vivienne langford's standards were legendary. so was her temper. everyone in the bluff knew that while conrad langford's name adorned the gates, it was his wife who held the true authority within them. she was the pulse beneath the marble floors, the quiet hand guiding every servant, every guest, every whispered conversation. her husband had been fading for months.
forever knew because she'd been tending to him, watching the proud patriarch diminish a little more with each visit. it had only strengthened her place within the household. the langfords valued discretion above nearly everything else, and she possessed it in abundance. she spoke softly, worked diligently, and never repeated what echoed behind closed doors. the sprawling estate was filled with secrets tucked between priceless paintings and polished hallways, but forever carried none of them beyond its gates. perhaps that was why they kept her. bitsy, however, had become something unexpected. a friend.
there was nothing performative about elizabeth langford's kindness. vivienne's politeness was immaculate, but it was transactional, measured with the precision of someone accustomed to balancing favors like entries in a ledger. bitsy's warmth asked for nothing in return. she'd proven it after the unfortunate incident with the dobermans, insisting beau had deliberately sent forever searching for a nonexistent maid's uniform simply to amuse himself. she'd apologized on his behalf—though she'd rolled her eyes while doing it—and promised to have a proper replacement made immediately. until then, forever had thrown herself back into her work.
fresh linens folded over her arms. guest rooms to prepare. anything to occupy her hands while her pulse finally settled after fleeing three enormous dobermans whose barking still rang somewhere in the back of her mind. judge. valor. mercy. beautiful creatures. terrifying ones. she had nearly convinced herself the evening was behind her. then beau stepped into her path. the hallway seemed to narrow around him.
he didn't simply stand there; he occupied the space with an effortless certainty that made the centuries-old corridor feel suddenly too small. tall, broad-shouldered, dressed with the careless refinement of someone born into old money, beau langford carried himself with absolute confidence. he expected the world to bend around him because, more often than not, it did. he closed the remaining distance without urgency. there was nowhere for her to go. forever instinctively hugged the stack of linens closer to her chest, using them as a flimsy barrier between them. it did little to disguise how rigid she'd become.
she lowered her eyes immediately. looking at beau langford for too long always felt dangerous. not because he was cruel—though she suspected he could be when the mood suited him—but because there was something unsettling about the way he looked back. as if amusement wasn't the only thing lurking behind those pale eyes. as if he enjoyed discovering precisely how flustered he could make her before she'd flee. most people would've quit by now. after the fake uniform. after the dogs. after becoming the unwilling target of every prank he'd managed to dream up since returning home. she hadn't. and somehow that seemed to fascinate him.
"i... i have to take these to the blue room," she murmured, scarcely louder than the rustle of fresh cotton against her sleeves. she tried to slip past him, shoulder angled carefully to avoid brushing against him, but he shifted almost lazily, cutting off the narrow opening she'd been aiming for. the movement was subtle but intentional.
her breath caught. the maid's dress—which had fit perfectly well all morning—suddenly felt unbearably close against her skin. she became painfully aware of every inch of fabric, every uneven breath, every beat of her heart hammering far louder than the grandfather clock ticking somewhere down the hall. “excuse me, m-mr. langford...” she still couldn't bring herself to look at him, which only seemed to encourage him.

the hold she had on her fork tightened until her knuckles turned white. for one brief , terrible moment , bonnie entertained the thought of smashing the wine bottle over his head. anger had always come easily around bruce. it lived beneath her skin whenever he was near , hot and familiar and exhausting. he was the reason those feelings existed in the first place. he knew exactly which buttons to press , exactly where to sink the knife. “ whoring around ? ” she repeated the phrase with an incredulous scoff , setting her fork down with a sharp clatter against the plate. she crossed her arms over her chest , eyes narrowing into slits. “ sort of like when you visit those clubs , right ? ” her head tilted. “ or are you still one of those men who thinks the stripper actually loves him ? ” it was cruel. deliberately so. bonnie had never learned how to fight fair with her brother. neither of them had.
" seriously , bruce , your extracurricular activities are the worst-kept secret in this family. ever since you accidentally charged the family account with your camsoda ..." she paused , feigning thoughtfulness. “ donation ? subscription ? charitable contribution ? whatever the hell it was. ” she wrinkled her nose in disgust. “ eomma almost had a stroke when accounting flagged it. one could only wonder what your wife would think if she found out. ” the jab landed low. she knew it the second the words left her mouth. she also knew she'd say something even worse if he kept talking.
bruce set his fork down with deliberate care. he wiped the corner of his mouth with a linen napkin , slow and precise , as though the conversation had not already begun to rot in the air between them. clever little bitch. he could see exactly what she was doing. the provocation , the angles , the careful pressure points meant to make him slip , to make him react first. it was always a game with her — who could draw blood in public without ever raising their voice. a kind of sport disguised as conversation. but bruce never played fair. and he never played high. if bonnie went low , bruce went lower. " eomma had a stroke when you visited her just a few months ago , " he said evenly , voice calm enough to be insulting. “ at least my affairs don't result in such … devastation. ” he leaned forward slightly. just enough to close the distance , just enough to make it personal. his gaze held hers with quiet precision — not anger , not heat , but something far worse. certainty. the kind that suggested he already knew what she would try to deny. " or is that devastation reserved for greying coaches you like to scare into submission ? " a faint pause. " because god forbid your friends learn that their precious bonnie kwon is nothing but a . . . . " he lingers there for a moment longer than necessary. the silent statement : i know something you don't want anyone to know. he sat back again as if nothing had happened , as if the air had not shifted. " abeoji is dying , " bruce said flatly. no emphasis. no performance. just fact. a nameless aide stepped forward and placed a file into his hand. bruce didn’t open it. he simply slid it across the table toward her with two fingers, the motion almost careless. it stopped just short of her reach. " updated will , " he said. " sign it. dinner ends here. "

the block party roared just outside , music and laughter spilling through the streets. inside the steakhouse , however , time seemed to move differently — hushed , muted , almost suffocating. " oh , come on , " bruce said, cutting neatly into his steak. he preferred it rare ; crimson pooled across the porcelain as he balanced a piece on the back of his fork and took a measured bite. he chewed , unhurried. " don't pout. i know you'd much rather be out there . . . " he gestured vaguely toward the window. “. . . whoring around with your hockey players , but i'm your older brother. your obligation is to me. to this family. ” he had the audacity to smile. “ you're a kwon , bonnie. or have you forgotten that ? ” his gaze swept over her baby-blue outfit , and with a dismissive flick of his fork , he continued , " perhaps you've forgotten in this little town you've decided to settle into. " he leaned back in his chair , expression unreadable. " but no matter how far you run , you're still one of us. "

it wasn't in bruce's nature to interrupt. he preferred observation and patience. people usually revealed exactly who they were if given enough time. but even his tolerance had limits , and watching the display unfold in front of him had quickly become tiresome. he stepped in with effortlessly , adjusting the cufflink peeking from beneath the sleeve of his suit. " there you are , " he said smoothly , as though they'd arranged to meet all along. “ i've been looking for you everywhere. ” the other person received nothing more than the briefest glance , if that. bruce had long mastered the art of dismissal ; being ignored by him felt far worse than being insulted. eventually , most people understood when they were no longer welcome. his attention returned fully to his companion. " the nature of these events tends to invite such company , doesn't it ? " he remarked dryly , eyes briefly scanning the crowd. “ small towns. ” a quiet sigh escaped him , more performative than genuine. " well , " he continued , the faintest trace of amusement touching his features, " where's my reward for rescuing you ? "

it wasn't that they had once been great. it was that they had once been the best. seeing lone stars memorabilia lining the hall felt jarring in a way graham hadn't expected. framed photographs and championship banners , a crisp blue and silver jersey hanging beneath glass , briggs stitched proudly across the back. relics of a life that still felt close enough to touch and that was the worst part , he still had fight left in him. maybe that's what made retirement hurt so goddamn much.
what do you say to the man who slept with your wife ? to the man who knew every intimate detail of your life because there had never been a reason to keep secrets ? what do you say to the person you fought beside for years , a brother in every sense of the word , right up until he wasn't ? graham still didn't have an answer. “ you look like shit , riley. ” the words came easily enough as he tugged the brim of his baseball cap lower , like it might hide the fact that seeing cooper still felt a little like taking a skate blade to the ribs.
“ yeah , well , not much has changed then , mate. ” cooper grunted , hands shoved deep into his pockets , the brim of his hat pulled low enough to shadow his eyes. he felt ridiculous standing there. two blokes pushing seven feet tall apiece , lingering in what amounted to a shrine dedicated to themselves. “ fuckin' christ , it's like i died , not retired. ” his gaze drifted over the memorabilia lining the walls. framed jerseys. signed sticks. photographs frozen in time. somewhere overhead , muted footage played on a loop — goals , fights , celebrations. highlight after highlight from a lifetime ago. they'd done that. for a few years there, they'd been untouchable. the old guard. franchise players. legends , if you listened to the people around town.
it felt strange looking at it now … like he was watching someone else's life. “ you talked to elaine ? " the question came quietly as he shifted his weight , eyes still fixed on a photograph of the two of them hoisting the cup overhead , younger and dumber and convinced nothing could ever touch them. “ 'cause i sure as hell haven't. ” and that was the truth of it. the woman at the center of the whole bloody disaster. did he regret it ? every day. but regret was cheap. words even cheaper. nothing he could say now would unfuck what he'd done.
“ bon said it's been handled. no need to worry about her runnin' off to tmz or whatever the fuck. ” he exhaled heavily , scrubbing a hand over the rough stubble along his jaw. “ always cleanin' up our messes , ain't she ? ” there was something tired in his voice. fond , maybe. guilty , definitely. he fell silent after that , eyes dropping to the floor. because the truth was , he didn't know how to fix this.

ˏ closed; cooper's place ( @r0ughcut )
“ m’sorry i didn’t give you more of a heads-up, ” mavis shrinks, smearing a sheepish smile upon her face, as she waddles, rain-soaked and shivering, through cooper’s front door. she is already apologizing to him, even though she had pinky-promised herself that she would not, that her being here was not inappropriate, and that what she had to ask of him was, like, totally reasonable, actually— and, still, she was anxious to upset the closing of this gap between them, afraid that she might fall through it, instead, and down and down and down she would go, forever, like that alice after her rabbit.
“ . . . i wasn’t sure i was gonna come, ‘til a few days ago. ” she is swiftly kicking away her shoes as soon as her feet have crossed the threshold, a habit born of sharing one’s home with someone so ill as their mother. her routine would have her peeling off a tri-fold mask, next, were she to be wearing one; and then, on to the kitchen to wash her hands— she might even doff her outside clothes and throw them into the laundry, if allotted the time. but, without all of these trappings, in a place so unfamiliar to her, and, yet, vaguely otherwise, mavis will stand there; dripping, a little, and unsure of what to do next.
she takes a wink to really look at him, worried that she might find him entirely altered to her, had been sick with that worry the whole way here, but— no. there, he is; her brother, her bear, all six feet and four inches of him, appearing to be, to her loving eyes, the same guardian angel that he had always been. maybe, with the exception of a new sprinkling of grey hairs. mavis wants to embrace him, to run right into his arms and be squished there, like she would when she was a child, but, now, she hesitates; she doesn’t know if he would like that.
she does almost reach for him, anyway, but remembers the bandage wrapped around her hand, and so flinches before it is fully revealed, tucking it back into the sleeve of her sweater.
“ thought i maybe had the wrong address, at first, ” and for those few hours that she had been sat on the stairs outside of his building, gripping tight to her little suitcase, waiting for him. “ m’sure glad you showed up when you did, i could’ve been washed away! ” at this, she finally chortles, a more typically-mavis sound to be made. “ . . . i’ve, um. i have missed you. ” shying under the weight of what she would like to say, of what she will say, of what she will make herself say— “ mum . . . well, i’m sure she does too. y’know, in her way. that’s why . . . well, she’s why i’m here, coop— ”
it was unexpected , but not unwanted. “ christ alive , mav ... ” the words left him on a breath as he wrapped an arm around her shoulders and guided her farther inside. the house still didn't feel like his yet. it echoed too much. smelled too new. looked half-abandoned with boxes stacked against the walls and furniture scattered wherever the movers had decided to leave it. he stopped when they reached the couch , still draped beneath a tarp from when it'd been dropped off a few days ago.
" yeah , you could've , " he grumbled softly. “ that's why people call before showin' up. ” there wasn't any real bite to it. he reached up , brushing a few damp strands of hair away from her face the same way he'd done since she was little. some habits never left. with his free hand , he tugged the quilt out from beneath eggy. the cat voiced his displeasure immediately , letting out an offended noise that cooper ignored entirely. he draped the blanket around mavis' shoulders before lowering himself onto his haunches in front of her. “ yeah , i know. i just ... i haven't ... ” the words trailed off. once upon a time , he'd called every other day. after games. after road trips. after fights. he'd ring them up grinning ear to ear , tell them about goals and wins and locker room bullshit. he'd held the cup over his head and thanked his mum and sister on national television without a second thought.
those days felt like they belonged to somebody else. “ mavvy ... ” he buried his face in his hands , scrubbing roughly at his eyes. " she's ... " his voice cracked. “ fuck. ” for a moment he couldn't look at her. “ she's not gettin' better , is she ? ” there it was. the question he'd been avoiding for months. because if he asked it out loud , then he had to live with the answer. guilt settled heavy in his chest , familiar as an old injury. he should've been there. should've called more. should've gone home. instead he'd spent months running — from her , from hockey , from bonnie , from himself. from this.
he pushed himself to his feet too quickly. “ i'm ... i need a beer. ” he didn't. not really. but drinking had always been easier than feeling. he turned toward the kitchen , running a hand through his hair. " you need anythin' ? think i've got ..." he opened the fridge and stared blankly into its pathetic contents. “ fuckin' protein powder , maybe. eggs. ” he looked back at her , managing a weak smile. " sorry. turns out livin' alone means nobody tells you when you've run out of actual food. "
the punch landed hard enough to turn jason's head. for a moment all he tasted was blood. copper flooded his mouth as he stood there breathing through his nose , staring at the floor of bonnie's kitchen. bonnie's apartment. bonnie's home. the place where she'd let both of them in far more than either deserved. there were photographs on the refrigerator. a half-empty coffee mug sat beside the sink. a cardigan she'd left draped over a chair hung forgotten in the corner. all those little pieces of her life surrounded them while they stood there acting like animals.
something in him snapped. before cooper could say another word , jason surged forward and grabbed a fistful of his shirt. years of hockey training and raw strength took over. he drove cooper backward until his shoulders hit the wall with enough force to rattle the frame hanging beside them. the impact echoed through the apartment. jason had barely noticed. his blood was pounding too loudly in his ears. he could feel his pulse in his jaw , in his hands , in the ache spreading across his face where cooper had hit him. for once , there was no smirk. no joke. no smartass comment waiting to defuse the situation. he was genuinely angry.
" you don't get to stand there and act like i'm the bad guy, " he spat. his grip tightened against cooper's shirt. " you don't get to talk about her like she's yours. "
the words came easier now that they were finally out. maybe because he'd spent months swallowing them. months watching bonnie twist herself into knots trying to help cooper. months watching her make excuses for him. months watching her walk around with red eyes after nights she swore she was fine. jason had always been crude. loud. selfish. the kind of guy who made inappropriate jokes because sincerity made him uncomfortable. but somewhere along the way , things had changed. somewhere between late-night phone calls, fast-food runs , and afternoons spent doing absolutely nothing together , he'd stopped seeing bonnie as another person orbiting his life.
" she still cares about you , " he continued , his voice rough with frustration. " that's the part that drives me fucking crazy. she still worries about you. she still defends you. she still thinks there's something worth saving. and what do you do ? you make her cry. "
the accusation hung heavily between them. jason could picture it too clearly. bonnie disappearing into her room. bonnie forcing smiles she didn't mean. bonnie pretending she wasn't hurt because she didn't want to burden anyone else. every memory tightened around his chest until it was difficult to breathe. the worst part wasn't that cooper hated him. it wasn't that cooper thought he was some entitled rookie trying to take his place. the worst part was knowing bonnie would keep giving pieces of herself away until there was nothing left if somebody didn't stop it.
his grip loosened slightly as another realization settled over him. it hit harder than the punch ever could have. his entire life he'd expected people to chase him. his parents fixed every mistake. girlfriends called first. coaches bent rules for him. he'd spent twenty-something years believing love was something he received. something handed to him because he was charming enough , talented enough , important enough. then bonnie happened. and for the first time in his life he didn't want to be the center of somebody else's world.
he wanted to be there for hers.
the thought settled into place with startling clarity.
" i love her. "
the confession left his mouth before he could stop it.
for a second , neither of them moved. jason stared at cooper , hearing the words echo back at him. it was the first time he'd ever said them aloud. there was no taking them back now. no disguising them as a joke. no pretending they meant something else.
" yeah, " he said quietly, swallowing hard. " i love her. "
the truth felt terrifying. freeing. painful.
" i don't care if she never picks me. i don't care if she never loves me back. i don't care if i spend the rest of my life being nothing more than her friend. i just want her to be happy. "
his hand finally released cooper's shirt. " that's the difference between us. you think this is about winning. you think i'm trying to take something from you. i'm not. if you made her happy, i'd walk away tomorrow. i'd hate every second of it, but i'd do it. "
jason stepped back , chest heaving as the adrenaline slowly drained from his body. the kitchen suddenly felt smaller. quieter. every emotion he'd spent months avoiding sat exposed between them.
“ but you don't make her happy anymore. ” his voice softened then , somehow becoming more dangerous than the shouting.
“ and i'm not gonna stand here and watch you keep breaking her just because you're too afraid to let her go. ”
something shifted in the kitchen. it was subtle. not the kind of thing anyone else would've noticed. cooper straightened , rolling his shoulders as though preparing for another fight , but the swagger was gone now. the adrenaline was still there , still burning hot beneath his skin , but it had curdled into something uglier. heavier. that familiar feeling settling in his gut — the one that always showed up after the damage was done. the reminder that no matter how many times he promised himself he'd keep his temper in check , he'd always find a way to let it off the leash. his gaze settled on jason. the sneer had disappeared and in its place was something harder to read. it would've been easier if the kid had looked scared. easier if he'd backed down. cooper knew how to deal with fear. knew how to dismiss people like jason as spoiled , naive , too young to understand how the world actually worked. except he'd said it with conviction.
love. like it was the simplest thing in the world , like it didn't cost anything. and that pissed cooper off more than the punch ever had. because he knew that look. he'd caught it a hundred times. the way jason looked at bonnie. like she hung the fucking moon. like every room got brighter when she walked into it. truth be told , cooper couldn't even blame him. " everyone loves her , " he said finally , the words rough around the edges. “ she's bonnie. ” his jaw tightened. maybe saying everyone was easier than saying himself. maybe if he hid behind the crowd , it wouldn't sound so pathetic. he didn't know. hell , he didn't know much of anything anymore. he crossed to the fridge and yanked it open. empty. no beer , of course. the door slammed hard enough to rattle the frame. magnets clattered onto the floor. and just like that , he did what he always did when something got too close to the truth.
he lashed out. a humorless laugh escaped him. “ she's never gonna love you back. ” the words landed like a knife. “ you think i'm the villain in this story ? that i'm the only selfish bastard in the room ? ” he shook his head. “ you don't know a fuckin' thing. ” his eyes darkened. “ she lets me in. every single time. she opens the door. she answers the phone. she picks me up when i'm too stupid to stand on my own two feet. ” another bitter laugh. " and after every shitty thing i've done , every reason i've given her to walk away , she still stays. "
the jealousy was obvious now. ugly. poisonous. “ that's what you'll never understand. ” he stepped closer. “ you see the version of her that smiles at you. the version that lets you play hero. ” his lip curled. “ i get the rest. ” his voice dropped lower. “ i get the ugly parts. the angry parts. the parts she hides from everyone else. ” the words came faster now , crueler because he wanted them to be. because if he could hurt jason first , maybe he wouldn't have to think about how terrified he was. “ she might like you. hell , maybe she enjoys havin' you around. ” his gaze locked onto the younger man. “ but when things get bad ? when life actually sinks its teeth into her ? ” cooper tapped his chest once. “ she comes to me. ” the confidence sounded forced now. desperate enough to crack if anyone looked too closely.
“ because no matter how much she hates me... ” his throat tightened. “ ... she's never stopped choosing me. ”
it was almost funny to watch , the sheer size of cooper alone enough to make him stick out like a sore thumb amongst the aisle of the sephora . spoon is dipped into her cup of ice cream , plastic meeting her mouth with a decent bite of the cookies and cream she'd been picking over for the last ten minutes . " trust me , coop ⸺ even if it's the wrong shade i'm sure she'll appreciate the gesture . . . plus it's got the bunny on it , doesn't she love those ? " could've sworn she'd seen a couple floating around her instagram story , if that wasn't a sign she didn't know what was .
" okay , two scoops of ice cream is the absolute least you could do after you gave me that migraine dragging me through that bath and body works only to not even pick anything from there , " annoyance in her voice is only playful , free hand used to push the door open to a boutique jewelry shop , greeted by name by the jeweler stood behind the glass case . " now i need your opinion on something ⸺ you're a man so , i feel like you'd know better than me , " last bite of ice cream is taken before cup is tossed to the trash near the door , leading cooper towards an already arranged selection of designer wedding bands reflecting in their display. " i don't know which one beau would like ⸺ i mean . . . i know which one i think he'd like but , i don't know , i don't want it to be too flashy , you know ? " beau was never the type , always classy , looked expensive but never without taste . " i was thinking this one ? “ cartier d'amour band is plucked from the selection , held up to cooper's eye level so he could have a better look . “ i just ⸺ i don't know , ” she's audibly frantic , had already spent too much time mulling over the decision that now she was starting to second guess . ” he's gonna be wearing this thing every day i want it to match with a lot of his stuff but i also want it to look like ' yea . . . my wife got this for me ' , you know ? "
" she does , " cooper admitted after a moment , sounding almost thoughtful. “ i don't. that little fucker chewed through one of my jerseys. ” a visible shudder rolled through him at the memory. bonnie's rabbit had somehow declared war on him from the moment they'd met , and cooper was convinced the thing acted out of pure spite. " well , i was gonna pick somethin' from there , " he added , jerking his chin toward the store they'd abandoned. “ but you told me it was a shite idea. ” he stuffed his hands into his pockets , letting himself be dragged farther down the display while pretending he wasn't completely out of his depth.
" the disney fuckin' prince of willow glen , eh ? " he teased, glancing sideways at her. “ tell me , love , who spends longer on their hair ? him or you ? ” the joke earned him a look from a nearby employee. cooper immediately cleared his throat and lowered his voice. “ men don't like this stuff. ” he gestured vaguely toward the sea of jewelry cases as though the entire concept offended him. " cook him a meal. buy him tickets to a sports game. hell , let him win an argument once in a while. " he shrugged. " don't know the bloke that well , but i'd wager he'd be more upset you spent money on him than if you showed up empty-handed. "
even so , when she held the ring out again , he took it. the metal looked ridiculously delicate sitting in his rough , calloused palm. cooper turned it beneath the light , studying it with surprising care. “ hmm. ” his thumb brushed over the band. " if you want my honest-to-god opinion ... " his brow furrowed slightly. “ i think somethin' with a bit more texture would suit him better. ” he handed it back , gaze drifting over the rest of the display. “ somethin' that looks like it'd survive gettin' knocked around a bit. ”

crossing the lawn in long , confident strides , cooper almost felt like himself again. there was something familiar about showing up uninvited with a stupid idea and enough nerve to see it through. he rapped twice against the door with his knuckles before stepping back , hands slipping into his pockets as he waited. the second ollie opened it , his breath caught just enough to betray him. " pilates payin' off , is it ? " he drawled , a lazy smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth while making absolutely no effort to hide where his eyes wandered before finding hers again.
“ got you somethin'. ” from behind his back , he produced a single carrot , complete with its leafy green top , holding it out with all the seriousness of a man presenting a bouquet. “ y'know ... just in case you need to ward off any horses. ” the smirk only deepened. “ figured it'd be more useful than flowers. ”

the first thing she noticed was the bandage on his hand and the red mixed within the white. “dude, are you okay? who’d you beat up?” she moved swiftly off the bar top and over to the cooler where she grabbed a bottle of beer. she sat it on the bar and patted next to it. “i see you could use that more than i want to leave,” she said as she leaned against the bar on her forearms. “but seriously, do you need me to like re bandage that? i have a first aid kit in my bag.” she was always prepared for anything that may arise in the bar and at home; something she got real good at after awhile.
" don't remember , " he mumbled , words slurring together as his legs carried him to the bar on instinct alone. the stool scraped beneath him when he dropped onto it with a tired grunt , shoulders heavy , elbows settling against the worn wood. “ thanks , doll. ” he took a long , punishing swallow , letting the beer chase away the taste of blood and bad decisions before exhaling through his nose. “ yeah ... you'd do that for me ? ” his eyes found hers then , glassy around the edges but still searching. " pretty girls usually don't like gettin' their hands dirty. " a crooked smile tugged at one corner of his mouth , more self deprecating than teasing. " reckon they leave that to blokes like me. "

" i feel like shit. you've got your girl in there , mate. sorry. " he jerked his chin toward the house , its windows glowing amber against the night , the fire on the porch throwing enough warmth to fool anyone into thinking everything inside was okay. he rubbed hard at his eyes. fourth beer , maybe fifth. he'd stopped counting after the second.
" i'm six foot seven , i can handle it , " he muttered when merrick tried to reel him in , the words coming out more stubborn than convincing. after a long pause , his shoulders sagged. “ it's over. ” he dragged a hand down his face , jaw tight enough to ache. " and the worst part is ... i don't think she even knows how much i wanted it not to be. "
