Beak Performance by Rhea Fox
ARNE
My job as the captain of the Veitsreuth Pumas is to be there for my team. It’s only natural that I want to take my new team mate, Max Gruber, under my wing. The Raven is young but he has bite. I shouldn’t notice just how pretty he is with his body covered in black feathers and the glossy curls I long to touch, or how much I want to protect him from harm.
When the mounting tension between us boils over and he kisses me, I find myself in a tough situation. I don’t want to jeopardise his or my career, but staying away from him isn’t an option for me, either. Raven is mine and I am his.
It’s only for one season that we have to keep our relationship under wraps; we can do this. Once he has his contract extended nothing can stop us. But we didn’t take into account how difficult it was to keep our mutual affection under wraps.
MAX
Falling for my hot captain wasn’t the plan when I joined the Veitsreuth Pumas. When I snap and kiss him on the last night of our training camp, I think I’ve blown my chances. Yet I am not the only one who finds it impossible to keep their hands–or shadow tentacles–off the other. Dating and mating Arne Bendixen makes me happier than anything ever before. I should have known it was too good to be true.
When shit hits the fan and we find ourselves with our backs to the wall, our mate bond is put to the test. Can we withstand what the world throws at us or will we break?
