The bus rolled into the away arena just after six in the evening. The place was bigger than he expected, sitting like a glowing fortress in the middle of downtown, its bright signs and streams of people already making his stomach tighten. Game days still did that to him. No matter how many games he played, there was always a moment before every match when everything became terrifyingly real.

  • Hockey Hazard: When Desire Crosses the Ice   Legally

    The bus rolled into the away arena just after six in the evening. The place was bigger than he expected, sitting like a glowing fortress in the middle of downtown, its bright signs and streams of people already making his stomach tighten. Game days still did that to him. No matter how many games he played, there was always a moment before every match when everything became terrifyingly real.He adjusted the strap of his bag and stood when Coach Jenkins called for everyone to unload. The team filed off the bus in a noisy cluster."I can already feel myself scoring tonight," Reid stretched dramatically."You haven't scored in three games," Mason countered."I said feel. Not actually do it," Reid replied and the team laughed. Noah smiled despite himself.A few feet away, Chase climbed off the bus carrying two bags over one shoulder. He looked relaxed, almost annoyingly so. Since the hotel incident, things had changed, not enough for anyone else to notice, but Noah did, and for reasons he

  • Hockey Hazard: When Desire Crosses the Ice   Roommates

    The bus rolled into Providence just before sunset. The hotel wasn't fancy enough to be called luxurious, but it was nice enough that the players immediately started complaining about who got which room. Gear bags littered the lobby floor, coaches checked everyone in while players argued loudly over key cards and who snored the loudest.Noah stood near the elevators with his duffel slung over one shoulder, half-listening to Reid complain about rooming with Mason."I swear to God, if he starts talking in his sleep again, I'm throwing him out the window.""You say that every trip.""And every trip, I mean it."Coach Jenkins emerged from the front desk holding a clipboard, "Room assignments are on the board."Half the team swarmed him. Noah followed more slowly. He found his name, then froze. HEYES / VOSS"No," The word left his mouth immediately. Beside him, another voice spoke at the same time."Absolutely not."Noah turned. Chase was staring at the paper like it had personally insulted

  • Hockey Hazard: When Desire Crosses the Ice   Hammer

    Yost Ice Arena smelled like cold steel, sweat, and sharpened skates. The familiar scent hit Noah the moment he stepped into the locker room Thursday morning. The guys were already there, some were dressing, others stretching or arguing over music. Reid was trying, and failing, to convince Mason that his playlist deserved locker room privileges. For the first time in two weeks, however, there was an extra buzz in the room, because Chase Voss was back.Noah slowed near his locker. He had expected something different, an awkward silence, maybe, tension or resentment. After all, their captain had deliberately sabotaged a game and gotten suspended."Look who finally got paroled."The room erupted in laughter as Chase entered, duffel bag over one shoulder and his hockey stick tucked beneath his arm. He didn't miss a beat."Missed you too."Reid jerked a thumb at Mason dramatically, "I had to listen to this idiot sing during conditioning."Mason looked offended, "I have a beautiful voice.""

  • Hockey Hazard: When Desire Crosses the Ice   Typical Chase

    The rain began halfway through the drive back from the gala. At first it was a light drizzle, but by the time they left the city behind, it had turned into a steady downpour. Water streaked across the windshield in endless sheets, the wipers working furiously as Chase drove the car through the darkness.Noah sat in the passenger seat, one elbow against the window, his cheek resting in his palm as city lights gave way to empty roads and dark trees. He was exhausted from the gala, everything about it had felt fake. The expensive clothes, the polite smiles, the conversations about generosity and scholarships happening over thousand-dollar bottles of wine.Every person in that room had looked like they had never worried about money a day in their lives. And there he had been, a scholarship kid in a borrowed ten-thousand-dollar suit, and he couldn't believe his life had somehow become this ridiculous.Chase drove with one hand on the wheel, his eyes fixed on the road, the dashboard lights

  • Hockey Hazard: When Desire Crosses the Ice   A Deal

    The gala looked like money had built it from the ground up. A string quartet played softly near the stage. Wealthy alumni and corporate sponsors filled the space in tailored suits and expensive gowns, their laughter blending with the clink of glasses and low conversations about investments, athletics, and donations. Noah hated every second of it. It was Wednesday night, he was supposed to be with Eli, instead he was here, a guest of Adrian Voss. How cliche.“You look miserable,” Chase’s voice came from beside him, smooth with amusement.Noah adjusted the cuffs of the black suit jacket that very obviously belonged to someone richer than him and shot Chase a flat look, “Because I am.”“You could at least pretend you belong here.”“I don’t.”Chase smirked faintly. This was the assignment his father had given to them. Attend the charity gala and secure a supply deal.“You’re wearing a ten-thousand-dollar suit,” he said quietly. “Try not to look like you stole it.”The ballroom doors opene

  • Hockey Hazard: When Desire Crosses the Ice   Admission

    Saturday nights after home games usually belonged to the team. Win or lose, there was always somewhere to be, someone hosting, some excuse to avoid sitting alone with the outcome for too long. Tonight was no different. The Black Ice had won. Not by much though, but enough.The locker room still buzzed with leftover adrenaline as equipment hit benches and players shouted over one another while changing out of gear. Someone had music playing from a speaker, while someone else was already arguing about a missed call in the second period. Noah sat quietly at his locker, unlacing his skates."Heyes."He looked up. Reid tossed a towel over his shoulder, "We're heading over to Chase's."Noah's hands paused, "What for?""The suspension's over tomorrow." A few lockers down, Mason laughed, "Basically a welcome-back party.""It's not a party," another player argued."It literally involves beer and terrible decisions," Mason countered, "That's every team gathering."Laughter followed and Noah lo
