Eli Tanaka doesn't have time for distractions. Focused, guarded, and brutally competitive, he's fighting for a future - on the field and beyond. The only thing getting in his way is Luca Moreno: loud, reckless, infuriatingly charming... and very, very off-limits. They play on the same soccer team. They have everything to lose. So when a late-night mistake turns into something they can't stop, Eli makes one rule - nobody can know. But keeping secrets gets dangerous. Especially when Luca starts looking at him like he means more than a hookup. Especially when the world - and the team - start watching. This is not a love story. Not yet. It's a game of obsession, touches that don't make it into stats, and the thrill of wanting something you're not supposed to have. ⸻ Told in first-person POV from Eli Tanaka ⚠️ This story contains spicy content, language, and emotional themes.

True love? What a fucking fairytale. Love at first sight? Literally bullshit. Erik Viktorovich Pavlichenko had never believed in stopping. Not for people. Not for feelings. Not for anything. At twenty-three, standing at 6'3 with too much money and even more audacity, Erik ruled his private college in London like it was built for him-which, frankly, it might as well have been. Russian-born, raised by obscenely wealthy adoptive parents, he lived loud, fast, and careless. He fuck whoever he want. Girls, boys-it didn't matter. If they wanted him, he'd take them. If they fell, he walked away. Sex was a hobby. Dating was a game. Feelings were toys. And Erik never lost. Second year started like any other- until it didn't. The campus buzzed with rumors the moment three transfer students arrived. Erik barely cared. New faces came and went all the time. Nothing ever held his attention for long. Then he saw him. The world slowed to a crawl. Lucas. 6'1 Tall. Broad shoulders stretching his uniform effortlessly. Muscular in a way that looked earned, not curated. Pale skin that contrasted sharply with dark hair falling just a little too perfectly over sharp green eyes. He walked like he didn't need permission to exist-unbothered, unhurried, lethal. Sexy without trying. Erik stood up before he even realized he was moving. "Who the fuck is that?" he asked, breath hitching as his eyes tracked the stranger. Caspian followed his gaze and sighed, already knowing where this was going. "Lucas. I think." "One of Daniela's best friends." He shrugged. "No one even knows his full name." Erik let out a breathless laugh, something sharp and hungry curling in his chest. "That one..." he murmured. "Mine to ruin." And he had no idea that the man he wanted most in the world was the son of the one man he had sworn to hate for the rest of his life.

At twenty years old, Luca Moretti lives fast, loud, and reckless-street races at midnight, fists bruised by dawn, emotions buried so deep they might as well be dead. He doesn't believe in family, loyalty, or second chances. All he believes in is speed, violence, and never letting anyone see him bleed. Then his mother remarries. His new stepfather is a powerful mafia figure. His new stepbrothers are criminals raised on blood and hierarchy-three older, one younger-and none of them trust Luca. Worse, they start to see themselves in him. What no one knows is that Luca already belongs to a gang of his own. A rival racer stalks him from the shadows, a war brews beneath the city, and every secret Luca hides pulls him closer to a collision that could destroy them all. Told in Luca's raw, unfiltered voice, Blood in the Rearview is a dark, gritty story about anger passed down like inheritance, brotherhood forged in violence, and a boy who would rather burn than admit he feels anything at all.

Theo Tomlinson had always believed that life would be simple if he followed the rules. Study hard, train hard, and keep his powers hidden. For the most part, he had succeeded. By day, he was your average, overachieving teenage boy. By night, he was Fortis, the icy superhero who protected the city from chaos and destruction. Aether was everything Theo despised. Arrogant, sarcastic, and infuriatingly good at everything. He had stolen the title of swimming team captain from Theo. He matched Theo grade for grade. They hated each other with a passion that their entire friend group had learned to ignore. His best friend Taylor often joked that they were like fire and ice, always on the verge of exploding. But life had a funny way of forcing people together. It started innocently enough - a school project, a forced partnership that neither Theo nor Aether could escape. Forced proximity was bad enough, but when their secret lives began to bleed into their everyday ones, things got complicated. Aether was hiding more than just his villainous alter ego, and Theo's icy façade was beginning to crack. Two lives, two identities, two enemies. Theo and Aether were caught in a web of secrets and lies, and the truth was bound to come out eventually. But when it did, would they still be enemies? Or would they finally realise that the line between hate and love was thinner than they ever imagined? © yuanjia 2025 Highest Rankings: #1 heroxvillain out of 655 stories #1 swimmer out of 419 stories #6 bl out of 150k stories #9 lgbtq out of 243k stories #9 forcedproximity out of 5.12k stories #10 gaylove out of 69.5k stories #28 gay out of 389k stories
