Holding Back

last update تاريخ النشر: 2026-05-26 16:23:21
The night had settled over Ann Arbor in cold sheets of rain by the time the hockey team bus rolled back onto campus on Sunday. The away game had been brutal from the first puck drop and everybody looked it. Shoulders sagged beneath exhaustion, and even the louder players kept conversation short as they unloaded equipment outside Yost.

Noah was the last to step off the bus. His body ached, his jaw still hurt from a hit he had taken in the second period, and exhaustion sat deep in his bones after
Velvet Obsidian

Chase is officially Noah’s drug-dealing partner. Hey lovelies!! 🏒💥😩 the tension just hit a new level 😭. These two are one more push away from either killing each other or something much hotter. Who else thinks Chase “helping” Noah sell is going to create the most chaotic (and delicious) forced proximity yet? 👀

  • Hockey Hazard: When Desire Crosses the Ice   Stay Away

    The room was quiet except for the steady rhythm of the heart monitor and the faint sound of Eli’s breathing. Noah sat in the chair beside Eli's bed, his injured leg stretched carefully in front of him. Blood had already seeped through the makeshift bandage the guards had given him in the car, staining the dark fabric of his jeans a deeper black.He ignored it and kept his eyes on Eli’s face when the door opened without a knock. A nurse stepped in, carrying a small medical kit. Behind her stood one of Adrian’s men, hands folded in front of him. Noah only glanced over his shoulder.“I need to take a look at that injury,” the nurse said with a polite smile.Noah barely turned his head. “I’m fine.”"Mr. Voss called for her." The guard’s voice cut in from the doorway. “You’re getting treated.”Noah stared at Eli for several seconds, then he sighed and slowly turned the chair away from the bed, enough to give the nurse access to his leg. The guard watched for another second before he left,

  • Hockey Hazard: When Desire Crosses the Ice   Injured

    The black SUV rolled through the iron gates just after sunset.Noah sat in the back seat between two of Adrian's security men, a black duffel bag resting across his lap. No one spoke as orders were rarely explained and questions were never encouraged.Noah stared at the passing buildings without really seeing them as the city drifted past the tinted windows. Then the SUV slowed and one of the guards finally spoke."Take the package. You've got five minutes."Noah looked up at the guard nodding toward the duffel and he picked it up without another word. The SUV stopped beside an abandoned laundromat in one of Detroit's older neighborhoods. Everything about the street felt wrong. There were no children, no passing traffic and no music drifting from open windows, only silence."You know what to do." The guard said as he opened the rear door and Noah stepped out.The SUV pulled away immediately, disappearing around the corner and leaving him alone. He adjusted the strap of the bag over his

  • Hockey Hazard: When Desire Crosses the Ice   Distant

    "Alright, let's see everything we did wrong." Coach Jenkins said, standing near the screen with a remote in one hand. A few groans rippled through the room but he ignored them.The players settled into their seats as the lights inside the film room dimmed and the projector flickered to life. It hummed, and then the first clip rolled. A defensive breakdown. Coach paused it."Morrison." he called and the defenseman sighed."I know.""And what do you know?" Coach asked and the room chuckled softly.Practice film reviews usually had a rhythm to them. Coach dissected mistakes, the players defended themselves, Tyler sometimes made jokes, Reid whispered sarcastic commentary from the back row and even Chase occasionally pointed out details Coach hadn't noticed. Today, none of that happened. The room felt unusually quiet.Chase sat near the center of the last row, elbows resting on his knees, eyes fixed on the screen. At least, that was where they should have been. Instead, they kept drifting t

  • Hockey Hazard: When Desire Crosses the Ice   Broken

    The streets of Ann Arbor had grown quiet by the time Chase realized he had been driving for hours. The dashboard clock glowed 11:30 P.M. He had already searched everywhere that made sense. Noah’s dorm, the river walk, the convenience store near the athletic complex where Noah always bought those cheap energy drinks after late practices, and even the empty parking lot outside Yost. Nothing.His phone remained silent on the passenger seat and every few minutes, he glanced at it. No calls, no texts and no sign that Noah even wanted to be found. The bruise on his cheek pulsed every few minutes, reminding him of every word his father had spoken that morning.He only has to stay away from you.He was supposed to go home, sleep and show up to class tomorrow. Instead, he found himself turning onto the highway toward Detroit. He wasn't even planning to stop, he just wanted to drive past once. Then he saw him. A lone figure sitting on one of the concrete benches outside Detroit Medical Center. B

  • Hockey Hazard: When Desire Crosses the Ice   Absence

    Chase arrived at Yost late and pulled in too fast, screeching into an empty space. He killed the engine, glanced at the dashboard clock, and swore under his breath. 7:37 A.M. Practice had started a long time ago.He sat for half a second with both hands on the wheel before pushing the door open and jogged toward the entrance, barely registering the cold Michigan air biting through his hoodie. His mind wasn't on practice. It hadn't been since he'd stood helplessly while his father calmly explained exactly how he intended to destroy them.The memory made his jaw tighten. The bruise on his cheek had darkened and it pulled every time he clenched his jaw. Inside the arena the cold hit him first, sharp and familiar. Then the sound of skates already cutting ice. Practice had started without him.He pushed through the arena doors just as Coach Jenkins' whistle echoed across the ice. He was standing at the boards with his arms crossed and turned the moment Chase appeared in the tunnel."Nice of

  • Hockey Hazard: When Desire Crosses the Ice   Seperated

    Chase lingered outside the door of Eli's room for only a few minutes before he went back down and found his father, standing near the tall windows in the study, a cup of black coffee in one hand, gazing out at the manicured grounds as though the events of the past hour had merely been another business meeting. Morning light poured through the towering windows, washing the room in gold, but nothing about it felt warm anymore. "Have you two spoken?" Adrian asked, turning only slightly to look at his son."No," Chase stopped a few feet inside the room. “He won’t talk to me.”Adrian regarded him quietly before giving a slow, almost approving nod, his voice, calm and almost pleased. "Good. He's beginning to think clearly."That single word settled over the room like ice and Chase frowned. "Good? You practically kidnapped and imprisoned his brother.""I relocated his brother and provided superior medical care.""You really believe there's a difference?" Chase laughed once but it held no amu

  • Hockey Hazard: When Desire Crosses the Ice   Paranoia

    The icy night air struck Noah the moment he stepped outside the building, filling his lungs with a cold that felt almost deliberate, and it was not just the temperature. It was the kind of cold that seemed to carry intent, as if the night itself were watching him.Behind him, the door closed with a

  • Hockey Hazard: When Desire Crosses the Ice   The Job

    There were cracks in the ceiling. Noah had already counted them three times already. They stretched like thin veins across the pale surface, splitting, branching, disappearing into shadows where the weak bulb in the corner couldn’t reach. He looked at them with unfocused eyes, his body still, as if

  • Hockey Hazard: When Desire Crosses the Ice   Black Ice

    The ice rink was alive with violence, not the kind that drew blood. Not yet. But the kind that lived in the sharp crack of sticks, the violent scrape of blades carving into ice, and the thunder of bodies slamming into the boards hard enough to make the glass tremble. Cold air bit at exposed skin, c

  • Hockey Hazard: When Desire Crosses the Ice   Hollow

    The hospital never slept. It was a deep, creaking, mechanical, unstoppable breath, and Noah felt it the moment he crossed the sliding glass door of Detroit Medical Center. The antiseptic odor struck him first, it was clean and suffocating at the same time, and then there was the low hum of the fluo
